Please, Avoid At All Cost
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't usually leave reviews, but I had to for this one. This is without a doubt the last Turtle Beach product I will ever purchase. Each time I purchase Turtle Beach products, I always have issues within a month, so definitely never buying anything from them again. This controller only lasted me 4 days, I did not mis handle it or treat it very poorly, and still just lasted me 4 days. The controller had a mind of its own, moving without touching the joysticks or the triggers. Do yourself a favor and avoid this controller, just stick with the original Xbox controllers. Also, the features this controller have aren't even that great, so no need to purchase it.

Turtle Beach Recon controller
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this controller almost a year ago because my wired PowerA Fusion controller quit working. I actually prefer this wired controller, and it comes at a lower cost than the PowerA. It feels better in my hand, plus it doesn’t have removable paddles in back. There are buttons that feel better - to me. If there is an issue with this Recon controller, I will no doubt get another.
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Remappable buttons
Great Wired controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Buttons are clicky and the media controls allow you to control your headset.
