Not The One For Me!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned this controller only days after purchasing it. In my opinion, it in not comfortable to hold; there are too many buttons with limited functionality; and the thumb pads felt awkward. This product may be a better fit for someone else. The price is good if you want to use a controller that feels cheap as well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Great controller

Was great at first
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked great for almost 3 weeks and then the D pad to the top started getting hard to push and was unreliable. Then it started losing connection and popping back on or losing connection where I had to plug and then would come back on shortly. Don’t know if it’s the cable or the controller but it would lose connection with no movement of the cord. I’m the only one that uses it and I am an older adult.

I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Connectivity
Can't use when it's disconnecting randomly.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I didn't read any reviews on this controller on bestbuy's site before purchasing this for my God son who's 12. He's really good at taking care of his controllers for his age, I saw some really decent video reviews on the controller that made my decision to get it. But within 10 days we're having disconnect problems already and we've tried multiple cables. The poor workmanship of turtle beach in the last 5-7 years as been rough... I my old wireless PS3 headset from Turtle I purchased back in 2010 lasted almost 8 or 9 years before the headset plastic started breaking... I am very disapointed in this product as it should be made better.
