Severe stick drift
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a good controller other then the severe unplayable stick drift it got 2 months after buying it, I contacted their support for a replacement and they just told me to adjust the deadzone on certain games .. I would buy for 60$

Turtle Beach Recon Controller
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice design on the controller itself turtle beach did a very good job on that. The controller works very well on pc windows 10 or windows 11.
I would recommend this to a friendSo close to greatness
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ill save you the review and cut right to the 1 star rating. On the first day of using the controller it would randomly turn off and back on, didnt think anything of it. On the second day of use it now plays a high pitch beep noise in the headset, turns off, plays audio on one side of my headset when the mute button is pressed. Switched back to the stock microsoft controller and everything works fine. Ill probably keep this as a back up if the microsoft controller ever needs replaced but i wont be using the turtle beach as my main controller. Pros: -mic monitoring and audio controls on the controller -rubber side grips and heavily textured bumpers/triggers -quality braided usb c cable to plug in -the backside buttons are placed in a natural position as opposed to paddles Cons: -button presses require slightly more force than stock controller and are louder than stock -the d pad works fine but isnt the same quality as stock controller -the guide button, start/select, volume/chat, and superhuman hearing/mute are positioned too close together leading to accidental presses Things to note: Its very light, and the overall feel of the controller reminds me of MadCatz controllers from years ago. It feels larger than the stock controller and more in line to a beefed up xbox 360 controller. Wish it was wireless.
