Customers are saying

Customers admire the Stealth Pivot Wireless Smart PC Gaming Controller with Rotating Modules for its impressive battery life, functional display, reliable connectivity, comfortable weight, and easy customization. However, some find the button layout less than ideal due to joystick deadzones and describe the build quality as inexpensive. Additionally, a few users feel the controller is too small and dislike the software. Despite some concerns, many appreciate the controller's positive attributes.

    The Turtle Beach Stealth Pivot Wireless controller is an interesting way to have a self-contained modular controller. I’ve seen other controllers that you can take out and replace modules for more customization, but it also drivers up costs and complexity. The Stealth Pivot finds a nice balance at a good price to give you some customization and flexibility in how you want to use it. It is a little bigger and heavier than a standard plug-in controller, but felt good in my hands, not cramped like other controllers. The grip felt good and stayed in my hands. The colors are nice, and the LEDs not overpowering. There is software to customize the buttons and display. The display is large enough to read and can display social media information if wanted in addition to the controller status. Depending on what you use it with you have 3 different ways to connect. For PC wireless, you have to use the included dongle which takes up a USB-A slot. Wired, you can connect to a PC or X-Box. For Bluetooth (BT) you can only connect to a mobile device. All 3 connections responded well on a PC or Android phone. Responses were good and no lag was evident. The battery is rated for 20 hours of use. On the top you get 2 mini sticks and a D-Pad for movement with 4 buttons. Flipping them over you get D-Pad and 8 buttons. Besides that, you get a slider for audio, on/off button, menu options, analog and button trigger buttons, and 2 buttons underneath. The rotation release, and short/long trigger option buttons are also available. Charging/connecting is done through a USB-C connector on the connector. To the big item, the rotation of the A and B sides. Two things must happen. You must release the lock from underneath and rotate the mini-sticks to the down position. Turning the top of the mini-sticks left or right will raise and lower them. The pivots will only rotate with the min-sticks in the down position. I tried as hard as I could to twist them while playing without grabbing them and was not able too. The force required to rotate the min-sticks won’t allow them to raise or lower by accident, so no worries of the sticks collapsing while playing. I found being able to switch the pivots better than I thought. For driving or flying type sims, the 2 mini-stick layout worked best. For fighting games, rotating the right side to get 6 buttons instead of 4 and min-stick was much better. I usually kept the mini-stick on the left in use with the D-Pad. One D-Pad and 2 buttons didn’t give the best options for most games to me. In changing the pivots you don’t have to do select anything or make additional changes, just flip and the new layout takes over. There is software you can download for PC and mobile to customize the controller. You can also go through the onboard menu options to do all of the major changes you would like. The 3.5 jack volume/mute can be controlled by the slider under the on/off button. You can have chats or other media display on the on-screen display. It’s not big, but good enough to convey information. You can have 5 different profiles to save the layout and colors you want. The software still needs some work, but it gets the job done. All of the options to change are available and not hard to find and change as you want. 20 hours will last for a long gaming session. The force feedback was good and responsive. I had no drift with the sticks. You can adjust the deadzones as wanted in the software for more control. As this can be wireless, it is bit heavier due to having a battery, but I like the feeling of heft is provides and the slightly larger controller in my hands. It’s all plastic, but felt good in my hands, and not slippery. The options to customize are available on the device or through software. The LED display can show useful information, but I kept mine clean with just want was needed. It’s to bad it has BT, but it only works on a mobile device. Being able to connect it to a PC without losing a USB slot would have been nice. Hopefully the software gets better with time, but it does what you need too. You have to connect by wire for some options. I think it’s a fine controller and innovative in giving more options without having to physically replace buttons or controllers.

    The Turtle Beach-Stealth Pivot Wireless Smart PC Gaming Controller is comfortable in the hands and allows for flexibility. The toggles for LT and RT are perfect for a more responsive play in fighting games. The pivot feature isn't cheap and is easy to rotate. This is a plus for me. Like that it is made with quality materials. Changing the button mapping on P1 P2 was simple and the multiple profiles allow different settings for a choosing a game. A slight humming sound can be heard when the battery is low. This is good because it allows you to know when the battery is about to die. This helps ensure that your less likely to leave the controller unplugged and die without knowing. The application feels a few years outdated. But this wasn't a deal breaker. There were certain settings of the app that could be improved. Because of this took away one star. Overall, would recommend the controller to others. Pros: Quality Controller Great Toggle control Easy rotation Sound to indicate the battery is running low. Con: The App could use a bit of an improvement.

    Maybe too sensitive?

    I thought I was overreacting to the sensitivity of the joysticks. So I asked my son for some input. We both agreed something seemed off. The size and weight of the controller is great. It feels terrific in hand. But something felt off. After a little extra testing, we tried wired and wireless. And we found why it felt off. Wired it was a lot less noticeable, but the "off" was still there. Let me explain. This may just be a matter of getting use to the stick. It may just be a matter of a firmware update. But the joystick seems to hold the input just slightly past when you release the stick or button. Initially we thought this was a wireless delay, but the same was happening with the stick wired but was just slightly less of a delay. When playing in Rocket League, the car was over rotating. When playing Trackmania, the car was oversteering. When testing with Pinball FX, the delay on the flippers was just enough of a delay to affect shots. This was consistent on both my PC and my sons. Like I said, it may just be a matter of getting use to the stick. The return to center is probably the most noticeable delay. The other issue is the resistance on the joysticks. If you like a very loose stick, the resistance is very minimal. Overall, I think you can adjust to the stick. I am talking very minimal delays, so adjusting your response could be quite feasible. I only took the star off because of the "off" feeling. Within about 20 minutes I got use to the stick. Going back to my original stick did not take me adjusting back to what I am use to. The issues may be nothing more than a firmware update, I am on current levels. It could also be a calibration issue. I am sure it can be corrected in some manner.
