Turtle Beach - Recon Controller Wired Controller for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One & Windows PCs with Remappable Buttons - Arctic Camo

After a week of use I can confidently say that I am very happy with this addition. I'll start with I am primarily on pc and this review is based off of that experience moving from an xbox elite controller Right out of the box this controller has a great feel to it. The hand grips are breathable but with just enough control. The back buttons sit right where my middle fingers naturally lie. The stipled gripped bumpers and triggers feel amazing with no slipping. That being said, the bumpers/triggers are close to the same height and it has taken a little time to accurately go between the two. Initially i preset my bumpers to the back buttons to help until I was accustomed and it worked wonderfully. With 4 different programmable modes you wont spend time re mapping the back buttons every time you change games. This is a great feature that i appreciate considering an elite controller just has a switch to go between two profiles. Usb c. Most products dont utilize usbc and stick with micro usb or incorporate the cord directly into the controller. No rolling the cord around the controller anymore with being able to disconnect the 10 ft cord which is plenty long in every scenario. Another thing that took a little getting used to is all of the buttons that are centered. Volume control, mapping buttons, profiles, modes, all being above your "start" button. I have pressed all of those buttons instead of pausing my games and it can be a bit frustrating but again its just something else to grow accustomed to. I use a controller for rocket league and single player campaigns. I can confidently say i like this controller more than the elite controller. The audio features when connected to my xbox one are just a bonus for me. Feel, grip, style and features make this a huge contender as far as controllers go. Im extremely satisfied and have already recommended it to my buddies.

As with all controllers, after using this one for over a year the right toggle started drifting. I replaced it with the same make and model as I haven't found another controller that beats the price AND quality of this controller. I've purchased different brands ranging from $20-60 over the years and always get the toggle drifting within a year as I game 2-6hrs every day. This controller fits comfortably in the hands and has a nice response with the buttons and triggers along with some extra buttons that best fit shooter games but can be useful in others (extra triggers near grips on inside of handles and buttons for sensitivity of mic and "cross hairs"). I get plenty of use out of the mic and EQ buttons as I don't have to go into menus to mute my mic or change audio for the type of game being played.

It's a well-built controller and definitely worth the value that they are charging there's a couple features that set this controller apart with functions like superhuman hearing and pro aim focus mode which tunes with them six sensitivity for improved long range accuracy but also works in a variety of different ways depending on the game with four different levels of intensity the cooling grips feel nice in your hands the remappable buttons are very nice but the only thing is they are pretty sensitive so be careful they break pretty easy all around it's really good controller for the price not for your average gamer but for your little more experience gamer that likes to mess around

I bought the Turtle Beach Recon controller for $40 (after missing a $20 deal) only because i needed a wired controller when the batteries needes ccharging in my other controllers. Its been the favorite controller of everyone for FPS, Madden 24, and Flight Sim. It has two extra buttons underneath (this should be standard for all), sound features, and a helpful app. No issues so far, unlike a pricier controller. Great customer service too, they assisted me because I’m looking for a flight controller. They also informed me of upcoming sales and best entry configuration. TLDR; Best controller for the price and it swings up!

Great controller for the price. If you burn through controllers and are prone to stick drift then look no further. For the price the cord is worth dealing with. It has plenty of slack and the super easy mappable back buttons make this a great buy. I’ve been abusing it for almost 3 weeks and have no compliants. Compete with the pros without spending an arm and a leg. Highly recommend.
