Buy this controller, not connecting to Xbox without a receiver. It causes connection problems with Internet and game speed with controller. It’s not too bad to where you cannot enjoy yourself, but it will not match up with Xbox compatible controllers.
We are sorry to hear about your experience with the Stealth Ultra Controller, however, it is not advertised as being able to connect to the Xbox without the included USB transmitter.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out directly to our dedicated Support Team so they can assist. They’re always happy to help and can be reached right from the support section of the Turtle Beach website.
Thank you and have a great day!

The controller often disconnects while playing and you have to pull out and plug back in the thumb stick to reconnect. The app dosent update it and it won't even stay connected to its own app. It will update through a separate Xbox app. Also my controller after 1 year the rubber grips peeled off revealing no glue.

First seen this controller, was in awe for a bit. Finally got my hands on one and its everything i wanted. From custom profiles to custom colors to match any RGB setups on your desk. Its difficult to use since its mouse click buttons but once you get used to it, itll feel like youre pressing on nothing.

This controller makes me happy :) pro aim is suuper useful. Everything about it is super useful. Also the fact that it turns any basic set of corded headphones with a mic in them into a premium headset with mic monitoring and spatial audio is fantastic. Be smart and get geek squad product replacement, at the end of the day it is still a game console controller and eventually it will break.

The Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra controller is a third party version of the Xbox Elite controllers, aimed at the most competitive and discerning gamers. With a $200 price tag, a $140 premium over a standard controller, and cutting-edge features, it promises a premium experience, but one that I can't say I've experienced.
First, here's what I do like about the Stealth Ultra:
--Feels nice in hand. The controller has good weight and balance in hand. It's also bigger than a standard Xbox controller, which feels nice in larger hands such as my own.
--Hall Effect sticks. They use magnets so that there are little (or maybe no) friction points that can wear out, which causes stick drift.
--The hard case it comes with is neat. Soft lining, zippered section to store thumbstick caps, and charging port are all well thought out features
--The amount of features, customizations (stick sensitivity, RGB lighting effects and colors, etc), are pretty neat
--Additional stick caps give you 3 options for how you want the thumbsticks to feel.
--Adjustable triggers are cool. There's a switch on the bottom that allows you to slide a physical stop behind the trigger so that they register a pull much quicker. Buttons (with the exception of LB and RB) feel great and responsive. I also think the additional programmable buttons are a neat addition though I haven't used them and I'll address below.
--RGB! Who doesn't love rainbow effects or their favorite color tracing a path on the controller?
What's less good. Much of this section could've been in the one above had it been executed well.
--Looks. I really think TB went too far with the mix of colors and materials on this and it made for a quite unpleasant appearance. Of course this is highly subjective
--Wireless dongle plugs into charging stand, which has to occupy a port on your console. This was frustrating as I am out of ports on my Xbox.
--Layout and design decisions. The button to the left of the screen is in an abysmal location. This has been so annoying. You have to arch your thumb awkwardly over the left stick to use this button. I play some Fortnite and that button brings up the map, so I do need it. very annoying. Additionally, LB and RB feel very mushy and hard to press fast, which is a shame because the others are quite responsive. Lastly, as other reviews have mentioned, the sticks grind against the outer ring and my left stick already feels gravelly when I rotate it now and I don't even have that many hours in. Lastly, the programmable buttons seem neat, but I hesitate to map anything to them because they're so incredibly sensitive. I am always pushing the ones on the inside of the grip. The other thing I don't like about them are the 2 that are more on the back of the controller are in a weird spot to press. They almost have to be pressed straight up towards your ceiling, which is an odd movement to do with how controllers are held. TB also touts 30 hr battery life. I have the RGB effects on, but the screen times out somewhat fast and I am losing battery pretty quick. I'm guessing I'd maybe get 10-12 hours out at this rate.
--Glitchy, unpolished experience. This is where the disappointment really comes in with this controller. Some of the features this controller touted, never worked. Like the phone notifications. Could never get it to work. I could get the screen to come up and I could get it to pair with my phone, but it always said 0 notifications. Additionally, getting it to pair is super confusing sometimes. You go to the screen to get the feature to connect and two options you get are "activate" and "pairing". I don't know what the difference is and oftentimes both did nothing. The apps you have to install on your Xbox or your phone are not great and the profiles system is confusing. You can't tell what's loaded onto your controller, what you're editing etc. Most egregiously of all though, this controller straight up disconnected mid game on me and I couldn't do anything with it. It disconnected and I got a message saying "you need a controller for this game, press A to continue". I couldn't press A, there's no battery pack to pull to hard shut it down, there's no off button and pressing the pair button on the dongle and going to pair it with the system on the onboard screen did nothing. I put it down and got my stock xbox controller out and haven't picked this thing up since.
Conclusion
I really wanted to like this controller. I thought it had cool features that sounded useful or at least interesting to me, but a lot of them come up short, don't work, or make no noticeable difference that would justify spending this much on a controller. I'm sure there are other controllers out there with hall effect sticks if drift is your main concern that perform better.

I love the interface with the control center it's user friendly. The controller itself is a beast and just nice to use. It fits my hands great.
