Customers frequently mention the high-quality build, ease of use, and satisfying feel of the Recon controller, particularly praising its remappable buttons and comfortable grip. However, some users reported issues with stick drift and occasional connection problems, especially when used with PCs. A few also noted that the controller is wired and that some users found the bumpers and triggers to be less responsive than expected. Overall, the positive feedback on the controller's design and features outweighs the negative comments regarding functionality.

Good feel, good response, cord would stop recognizing for a week or 2. but seems to have worked itself out. Otherwise no complaints, would buy another.

Good dupe/replacement per my husband. He got a controller from Amazon but it only worked for 2 weeks (it actually said in the fine print *he didn’t read* that it would only work for 2 weeks before Xbox blocked it) so this one was a great substitute at a great price. Plus he has turtle beach headphones so already familiar with the brand.

For the price this is a really great controller. Lots of extra buttons and controls for other features.
I use this for PC, so not aware of all the features available on XBox but ill gladly use this over a standard Xbox controller.

Its really a great controller. The only issue i have is the triggers aren't adjustable at all. Other than that it's awesome.

Have had many other expensive controllers and this one by far takes the cake! I really love all the extra setting on the controller. Everything actually works Everytime like it should

I think you’re better off getting the Gamesir controller with hall effect joysticks. Around the same price, and will last much longer than this did for me. The grip is nice though.

If your thinking of buying the $180 Xbox elite series 2 controller don’t and buy this !!!!!!! Stick drift is going to occur in any controller buy the $12 warranty..btw this controller feels really good and obviously with those buttons in the back makes you play even better!!!!!

Great controller. Stippling is very nice. Biggest perk is the chat mixer so you can mute your annoying teammates during the 1v1 situations. Programming isn't very intuitive but once you get it its easy. Only complaint is not wireless but for the price you cant beat it.

It’s just OK for the price point, better than the standard controller.
PROS-
-super human hearing button makes cheap headset better
-it feels like a Xbox controller
-bottom controller button assignment
CONS-
-mixing the game and chat volumes gets wonky at times, like the levels get lost in each other
-it randomly just drops microphone audio and randomly resumes
-Bumber buttons are to recessed and required double tapping to engage
-just after 3 weeks of use, I have stick drift already, this is probably most disappointing
So over all not bad, stick drift and wear out to no longer return to center position biggest concern, that means my controller is already on the way out in less than a month of daily usage
We’re sorry to hear about this inconvenience with your controller however, please allow us to assist you further with what you described here. Our Support Team is always happy to help as needed, whether it be with replacement service or troubleshooting. They can be reached right from the support section of the Turtle Beach website.

Stick drift slightly unfavorable, but not horrible since .06 dead zone fixed it. Decent value controller

Good overall controller. Minimal input delay and zero issues using with an Xbox or PC. The face buttons are a bit stiff but durability is not a concern.

It is cheaper than a genuine controller, has a good grip, and has excellent performance. The buttons feel good and I highly recommend this.
