Long-lasting? This isn't that.
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this controller a couple of months ago, the features were amazing. A mixer and mute button on the controller and paddles? Loved it for about a month. The left joystick became a little looser than i remembered. With every day i used it, it became worse snd worse. With each Leftstick Click i heard crunching in the controller. You're better off buying a more expensive controller from scuff, or Microsoft themselves.

What is going on here?
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would give this a higher rating but I have searched long and hard but cannot find out why the large Xbox button does not light up. I do not have a wired headset yet but I would think that should not matter. Is the product defective or did Best Buy send me somebody's return? I am way too old to be spending more time on this.

Posted .Good morning,
Thanks for your feedback! The Xbox Button on the Recon Controller would not be equipped with an LED. There is an LED just below the button that will let you know when the controller is receiving power. The LEDs should also light up behind the Mic Monitor, EQ, COntroller, and Pro-AIM buttons in addition to lighting up behind the Game Volume and Chat Volume buttons.
All in all, the Xbox Button itself would *not* light up.
If the other LEDs that we made mention of are not lit up properly or if you have any further questions or concerns in regard to your controller, please take the time to reach out directly to our dedicated Support Team via their Contact Form on the main Turtle Beach website.
Thank you and best regards!
