Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller has all the bells and whistles and feels great. But, there are just a few things about it that just put me off with it. Not so much so that I wouldn’t still recommend it, just go at it with a little skepticism. First off, this controller is unlike any other. It has an LCD command center right on the controller, the hall effect thumbsticks, the micro-switch buttons, the smooth trigger with the stop that isn’t just a stop but a full change to digital input. That and the fact it is lighter than the standard controller is just amazing. It is hard to truly explain the feel of the controller without trying it for yourself. It just feels so responsive and smooth. Then you can top it off with your own color choices in RGB, get notifications from some applications on your phone and switch between the dongle and Bluetooth fairly seamlessly. The additional buttons are nice and take a little getting used to compared to the typical paddles of other controllers. I find the two outside buttons easier and more comfortable than the paddles, but the inside ones take a little more effort to click and find the best way to make use of. Programming them is a bit odd too, as you have to use the command center or the app and they seem like they are backwards compared to input. Like the command center is listed 1,2,3,4 but the buttons on your left hand are 4,3 and right are 2,1. Also, there was no stick click, till their recent firmware update, or menu/start button that you can assign to them. You can however use the pro-aim mode and at first I thought it was broken, but it just works to the extreme when maxed out. Essentially what it does is it slows down the thumbstick movement. Like lowering the DPI on a mouse, but for the controller. Once you figure out the setting that works best for you, map that to a grip button and hold it for those precise moments. The command center and the pc app allow you to make all the custom changes, like response for the sticks, dead zones, vibration strength and the RGB lighting patterns. You can even control the EQ, volume and chat mixer for a wired headset through the controller. Along with that you can have 10 different saved profiles so you can make one for a fair list of games or various modes of a game. Switching between them is as simple as pressing the + button, the RB or LB, and the + button again and you are back at it. Now, as amazing as I feel this controller is, there are still some issues that I would hope their next iteration will fix. Some minor things can probably be done in software updates, like they did the thumbstick click for the mappable buttons. More of a nuisance or personal peeve, I really do not like where they put the view button, back or start button, whatever you might call it, the menu button on the left. It is above the thumbstick. Like you have to reach over the thumbstick to push and and with fat thumbs like mine, that means you are pushing the stick too. This could have easily been solved with keeping it where the buttons are on most other controllers, next to the Xbox button. It could also be solved if I could map it to one of the grip buttons for certain games. Like ones that use that for the map menu and you use it often. Another hardware issue is that the left stick touches the border and grinds plastic on plastic. The right one does not seem to do this, but it is noticeable when you are to the edges just making minor adjustments and you feel it grinding. While on the subject of the sticks, the only customization it comes with is the choice of caps that you can put over it. Unlike several others where you can exchange the longer stick with a round cap or something. These are just rubber caps you can slip over them. They feel nice, but feel like they miss out on being something that is common for other elite customizable controllers. As for the “Designed for Xbox” I feel like it is odd that you have to use the dongle either in the charge station or in the Xbox to connect it. Like, why can’t it connect like any other Xbox controller. Which then leads to the next issue I have with it, the wireless connection is fine for the controller only. However, once I connect a headset to it I can notice the drops and clipping in audio, both in hearing and microphone. It could be that I have a crowded wireless footprint in that band, but it makes for a really bad experience, especially when it just randomly drops out on you. Once I connected it up with the USB cable directly, it was night and day. The audio worked flawless and the built in EQ and volume options were nice to experience at your fingertips. Which also reminds me that some other systems that work flawlessly with an standard Xbox controller do not see this as one. For instance, my TV, which is an Android based system, will not work with this controller. But, has no problem with a standard Xbox controller. It will connect via Bluetooth to my Android phone and works as intended for the games that do support controllers though. While on the subject of Bluetooth, the other feature this controller shares is the AppLink social updates which I had a hard time getting to work only to find that I didn’t have any apps installed that were worth getting updates on. Let alone keeping it connected to the app. It seemed like every time I went to a different tab I had to reconnect to the controller. The phone app is pretty much useless as it is though. You can’t really change much more than which profile to use and a few other minor settings, provided you can stay in the menu long enough. Speaking of applications though, the PC app wants to be the Xbox app so bad that it acts like you are not on a PC. It is forced in full screen, so if you have multiple monitors, it will use that screen too. You can’t even alt+enter it into windowed mode. Which also means you can’t alt+tab when doing a firmware update or it will fail. The layout is like you only have a controller to do anything and the settings don’t change till you upload the profile to the device. So, when you are trying to use the app to fine tune something, make a change, upload the profile, try again. Then, some of the things don’t even reflect what is shown. For example, and this is true on the controller settings as well, when you select a gradient, like the image below, the red to blue, it shows a gradient, but for some reason becomes red/white/blue. It is like that for all of the gradients. However, solid colors and the color/colour cycle (pending where you set it) cycles through the rainbow just fine. So it isn’t like it can only do white in between colors. Overall, this is a nice controller, it is really in the right direction. However, it is like so many other first iterations of things. It needs more refining. They need to look at actual player feedback and make the next model even better. They really need to fix the applications, but at least you can make all the changes on the controller directly, so you can avoid them except for the firmware updates. I may be a little hard on some of the issues, but at this price point for a controller, one should expect the best.

Beautiful controller. Works great, easy to connect, buttons and sticks feel good. Easy to charge and battery life is great.

I've used a few "pro grade" controllers now and each has had its own schtick. I have to admit when I saw that Turtle Beach was launching a pro controller that had a screen on it, I assumed this would be a gimmicky product without much to offer over the top controllers from other brands. This being Turtle Beach's first ultra premium controller I also wasn't sure if the controller would compete with others who have been in that space for awhile. As soon as I held the controller in my hands, I could tell this was going to be a quality device. Turtle Beach has combined some of the best features of a few other gaming devices into one product. The charging dock has USB passthrough for the 2.4ghz wireless dongle and comes with a very long (~3m) USB cable. The carry case has a little notch to keep the dock in place as well as a passthrough port to charge the controller without removing the dock from case. I'm a little disappointed that customized weight or sticks weren't included, but there were two extra variations of thumb pads included. Once I got to using the controller, I was really impressed with the accuracy and predictability of the hall effect sticks. Perhaps that impression was helped by my first game of Overwatch with the controller was a completely dominating performance! It was really easy to jump in and get used to the response of the sticks right out of the box. For a lot of games the switchable travel for the triggers is a huge benefit. The screen makes it easy to get the best use out of the extra features on the controller (such as the RGB lighting or vibration). Normally you'd expect to have to use an app on the system, PC, or phone to change the settings but with the Stealth Ultra you just use the screen. The Stealth Ultra app for phones allows you to stream some notifications to the screen or switch profiles, so it isn't actually required to get the most from the controller. I only have a few nitpicks on ways the controller could be improved. As mentioned above, at this price point a lot of people would expect to get customizable sticks or weights. Also, the companion app for phones really doesn't add a ton of functionality and it would be nice if you could control all the settings on the controller from the phone app. Finally, the biggest nitpick I have is the lack of customizability for the 4 buttons on the back of the controller. These really should be able to be configured as L3 and R3. Hopefully extra features are added with firmware updates in the future. I've already recommended this to my friends as a great last minute gift idea for gamers and I'm happy to pass along my two thumbs up via this review.

I got this for my son to use with up his Xbox consoles. Works great with box the Xbox one S and Xbox Series X consoles. My one and only complaint about this wireless controller is it only works with the included USB dongle inserted into the charging base connected to the Xbox USB port. I wish it worked truly wirelessly with either of the Xbox consoles. My son's favorite feature of this controller is the built in rgb on the front sides of the controller. He doesn't use the social media feature which is weird for a game controller. But this seems to do everything gaming related very well.. The built in rechargeable battery lasts for a full weekend for him which is nice. No more AA batteries to replace like in the OEM Xbox controllers. This to me seems slightly slimmer and sleeker than a standard Xbox controller. The batteries do recharge fairly quick in my opinion. As my son seems to burn through batteries in his regular remote. To me the price is on the high side for a wireless controller, but I still recommend it.

Have used this now for 3 days on 3 different games, FIFA, COD and FORZA and must say that this is one of the best controllers I have used which has improved my performance on all 3. Have updated to the latest firmware today which has fixed a few minor bugs. Switching between profiles is so easy and the weight and ergonomics feel perfect. I really like the customisation which can be done on the fly as I like having different colours and effects when playing different games. The dock just adds so much convenience with its instant magnet connection also as I only need it connected to my XBOX with dongle in and it acts both as the wireless hub and charge dock where my battery seems to last forever.

The Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra Wireless Controller definitely stands out with its premium build and extra features. The OLED display and customization options are a cool touch, and the included charge dock makes recharging simple and clean. Battery life is solid—I've gotten close to the advertised 30 hours, even with heavy use. The feel of the controller is comfortable and responsive, with nice tension in the triggers and a good weight in the hands. It works seamlessly across Xbox, PC, and Android, which adds a lot of value for multi-platform users like me. That said, there’s been the occasional connectivity hiccup and some software quirks that required a firmware update. It’s not a dealbreaker, but for the price point, I expected slightly more polish out of the box. Still, it’s a strong option for gamers looking for a high-end alternative to the standard controller.

I currently use Xbox Elite Controller 2 Halo Edition on Xbox Series and My Gaming RIG. Out of the box I connected to PC First (USB) to update the controller and low latency wireless adapter (was painless). Overall, GOOD controller yet few obvious oversights that keep me a little on the fence (as well). :-) EXCELLENT low latency -- Definitely slightly more responsive than Xbox WiFi Direct Controller Connectivity (currently using Series X). This is achieved via the included Low Latency Wireless Adapter. This Adapter can be used on Xbox and PC. You can connect the Wireless Adapter directly to the Xbox or PC | or connect the Wireless Adapter to the Charging Dock (which in turn is connected to the Xbox or PC via USB-A to USB-C adapter. Cable is long and decent quality/braided. Preset L/R stick modes are good (Standard/Precision/Fast), especially the Fast setting. Yet cannot tweak the curve. Little disappointed here. Lighter than Elite Controller/2 yet feels good in the hand. The texture grips feature just the right amount of resistance. You can adjust L/R stick mode, dead zones and triggers, brightness of LEDs, button mapping, and more. The ability to change any of the controller settings from the controller display is awesome. You can adjust stick mode, dead zones and sticks/triggers/bright of LEDs, button mapping, and more. Thus far, NO DRIFT in CoD MWIII (Series X -- will test PC soon). Played some Rustment (Rust and Container) -- after a small adjustment period, as Ultra and Elite Controller still have different characteristics, enjoyed the low latency and no random drift while aiming. Triggers stops have two positions -- slightly less robust than Elite Controller yet effective. Customizable RGB Lighting is a nice touch. The controller features timeout and brightness settings for display to manage battery life. Not a fan of the buttons on the underside. I don't have them mapped as without the ability to use the QWERTY Keypad (where I would rest my palms -- see more under CONS), fingers pretty much rest on these buttons. I don't use them on Elite Controller either -- not a huge deal. Haven't paired to PC, Mobile or Steam Deck using Bluetooth yet. PC also uses the Included Low Latency Wireless Adapter (which is the best method of connectivity). Wireless Adapter and Stealth Ultra are paired by default. There is also a manual pairing process which is accessible from controller display. Control Center 2 App for Xbox and Windows is above average. Good layout and ease of use is good. There are some bugs - when setting precision or fast setting for L/R sticks, often doesn't save. Yet you can set using the controller display without a problem. Haven't tried the additional stick grips yet. CONS No legacy headphones jack - I use this for the MS QWERTY Keypad. HUGE disappointment. As a Product Manager, I find this to be a big misstep/tone deaf, especially at $199 price point. Slightly smaller than Elite Controller therefore the placement of the two menu buttons can be difficult to reach (very close to turn L/R sticks). At times it simply feels small. Again, how did this happen?!! Xbox Button is NOT LED like Elite Controller/2. As mentioned above, cannot tweak curve. Let's hope this comes in a future FW/App update. When using app on PC to configure. Issues with profile saving to slot on controller. Worse, setting Sticks to Fast defaults to Standard or Precision and setting Stick dead zone to 0% defaults back to 5%. Using the display on the controller works - settings will save as expected. And yes, installed 12/20 update.

I love this remote. The feel is fabulous. It does have some weight. I dont use all the features on the remote chat etc. Plus, a handbook or manual would be goodbfor setting up different games is not easy and learning how to use all the features offered is unexplained. Sad no manual is included. Some people have visual issues and cannot read on screens and need paper manuals to learn things. Due to lack of offering a paper manual(other than having print) for not everyone has a printer or computer to do so. We have become a society where consumers needs have been tossed and businesses assume everyone has no special needs, has a computer and has a printer. Because of this 3 stars

Just got the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra wireless controller from Best Buy a couple weeks ago and ive been using it nonstop its seriously one of the best upgrades ive made to my Xbox setup in forever. Unboxed it and right away you can tell its premium the build feels solid with those soft touch grips that dont get slippery even after hours of sweaty hands in intense sessions. Setup was dead easy plugged the dongle into the rapid charge dock connected to my Series X in like seconds no drivers or anything just worked perfect. Bluetooth pairs quick too for when I wanna play on my phone or tablet which is nice for travel or chilling in bed. The big standout for me is that little connected command display its this full color screen right on the controller and you can tweak so much without even grabbing your phone or going into menus. Like adjust audio settings switch profiles remap buttons check battery all right there its super handy especially mid game when you dont wanna pause. I set up like 6 different profiles one for shooters with trigger stops pulled way back for faster shots another for racing games with different stick sensitivity and one for fighting games where the paddles are mapped perfect. Speaking of the paddles there are four back buttons and they feel clicky and responsive not mushy at all I use em alot for jump crouch reload without taking thumbs off sticks its a game changer for competitive stuff. Thumbsticks are hall effect so no drift worries after months of heavy use which is huge after burning through regular controllers. Buttons are short travel tactile microswitches super snappy and satisfying to press triggers have those adjustable stops too I keep em short for FPS but full range for story games. Battery life is insane they say 30 hours and yeah Ive gone multiple days without charging just pop it on the dock when Im done and it rapid charges quick the dock is nice too keeps the dongle safe and charges through it. RGB lighting looks cool customizable through the app or display subtle glow or full party mode whatever. Had a tiny issue at first where one profile wouldnt save but I updated the firmware through the Turtle Beach app and it fixed right up no problems since. Wireless is lag free even in big multiplayer lobbies no input delay compared to wired which is awesome. Feels lighter than the Elite but still comfy ergonomic and the weight distribution is good doesnt feel cheap at all. Overall if youre serious about gaming on Xbox PC or even mobile this thing blows away the stock controller and even beats some elites in features. The price is steep but for what you get profiles display hall sticks long battery no drift paddles its worth every penny. Way happier playing now no more stick drift frustrations or fumbling settings. Definitely recommend grabbing one from Best Buy if you see it would buy again in a second and probably will for a backup. The only other controller I prefer is the official Microsoft elite 2 controllers

After going throught two elite controllers over the last couple of years I felt like it was time for a change. I like the trigger stops and all of the button options for the controller. The buttons are also very reaponsive which is super nice. The only gripes I have is that sometimes it takes afew extra seconds for it to connect to my xbox and I'm personally not a fan about the weight since it feels to light.

Outstanding controller! This thing is fully customizable from the button/trigger sensitivity to the LED colors. It's lightweight which helps prevent fatigue while gaming and doesn't have any stick drift. I love the ability to change settings without having to leave my game and enter the XBOX menu settings.

This controller is expensive but it performs great. When you first turn it on it takes a second to boot and connect but once it does it works great. The buttons have a tactile mechanical click, the trigger locks work well, and the display screen works well. The thumb sticks feel smooth and are hall effect so should last a really long time without issues. Good alternative for those that don't like the Elite controllers.

Feels amazing, works great when it works, kept randomly disconnecting during play, returned it due to this

Really cool fully customizable controller from the lights to joysticks and it even has profiles you can preset and have different button layouts for different games and even comes with extra joysticks and grips and a carry case to wrap it all up in overall good buy only downfall is the battery is only average

Just to let everyone know, the first controller I received was faulty (the screen would only turn on about 10% of the time) so I had to exchange it for another controller. There was definitely some clunkiness to the setup. The phone app was completely useless for me on my android, but not a big deal since I can pretty much do everything I need to through the controller screen. Thankfully, the Xbox app works really well and makes setting up profiles much easier. As for the controller itself..the intial impression is that it s visually very cool but the feel is a bit light and plastically. My impressions improved from there though when actually using the controller. I liked the feel of the thumsticks and the mechanical face buttons also feel great. I actually prefer the setup of the rear buttons better then the paddles on the elite, but this is definitely a preference thing and I think most hardcore gamers would prefer having one paddle per finger. The trigger locks feel good to me but keep in mind its only 2 level unlike the 3 on the elite. Overall, the performance of this controller was better then I expected and I really like the overall feel, especially the face buttons. I do think for a $200 controller this may be lacking some features more hardcore gamers will expect from an "elite" controller like tension adjustment and swappable sticks, etc. If you dont really use those features, the screen is great for switching profiles and mapping buttons, and the overall feel and performace of this controller are pretty on point.

I love this controller. The customization and the button mapping is amazing. The buttons is what I really enjoy. They're so much more responsive and the controller itself is so comfortable to use.

Need a lightweight controller that wont put a hole in your wall when your rage at unemployed sweats! This is the one for you! Easy set up programable back buttons with multiple profiles to switch layouts for games faster than you can get spawn camped. Trigger locks for faster shots you can finally beat those pesky sweats with style too! How? The customizable colors and patterns for your own party by yourself! Get one now!

Works well with my laptop and my xbox x, it does occasionally disconnect for some reason and usually at the worst time. More so after the software update.

Excellent controller. Performance is so much better than the nacon revolution 5 pro. Great job. Much lighter and buttons more responsive. It's a day and night difference.

I've purchased countless elite controllers. This pad is currently the better buy assuming the reliability is there. The buttons and dpad are mechanical with a great feel, and the trigger stops for FPS games are ideal. Moreover, it's very comfortable. There are some who say it's too light, but i disagree. It doesnt have to be heavy to feel premium. The other criticism is that the battery life is short. There's a simple remedy to this: set it to static and choose no color under the lighting settings on the controller's command center (great screen, not gimmicky, but useful). And lastly, once you get used to the back buttons they feel very, very good and intuitive.
