I have used various other controllers to include the Elite 1, Elite 2 and Scuff. This controller beats them all without any doubt! This controller has the best response times i have ever witnessed in a cobtroller and its especially noticible playing games like For Honor where response times really matter. I have not had any stick drift issues once so ever, if you do get stick drift you just have to recalibrate them from the controllers menu. From the menu you can also customise lighting and many other features like remapping the back buttons, setting response of the analog sticks and triggers and even see your notifications from your phone. The original controller i bought at launch had an issue with its A button, I contacted Turtle Beach's customer support and they responded next day and had a new controller shipped free of charge that same day without any hastle. Between the hardware and the support Tuetle Beach has would definitely recomwnd this controller!

I own & use 4 xbox elite series 2 controllers. i like this for regular everyday use. looked up the instructions & had no connection issues. Base needs to be plugged in to xbox and controller links to that wirelessly, not the dongle. did the configuration for sticks, no drift... unlike elite 2. battery at 56% after 10 hours. requires a little more patience & set up but is worth it.

This controller seemed great at first minus the extremely buggy software both on Android and Xbox. Although the software was a bit of a pain to get working, once it was setup it seemed to be a decent controller. Aiming feels a bit different coming from a Scuf Controller but that might be due to the controller using different response curves. Im sure with enough time, one can used to it. The biggest flaw has to do with the hardware. The anti friction rings that are supposed to make the thumb sticks glide nice and smooth when pushed all the way to the edge are not soft enough and after only a few hours of gameplay, the plastic on the thumb stick (left one on particular) have gouges in them from rubbing on the anti friction rings. They have actually done the exact opposite of what they were meant to do. Now, because the plastic has been scratched the thumb sticks do not glide smoothly at all. They feel like they are grinding when you rotate the stick. This is obviously something they wont be able to remedy with a software update and will probably end up having to recall all of the controllers they've sold until they can get this hardware redesigned and remade. I really wanted to love this controller, especially for its Hall Effect thumb sticks, but this just isnt it. I will be returning mine and hopefully Turtle Beach will get this figured out for a future iteration, but for now, I would stay away.

The controller works great, looks cool, connects well and is easy to swap between devices thanks to the UBS dongle and the profiles being stored on the controller instead of the xbox or pc. Easy to edit on the fly, too, with the screen on the controller. Pnly problem is the lights drain a lot of battery, and there isnt much significant change in the lights when i try to change the brightness, so battery life isnt quite as long as advertised. Still, good controller, feels nice, and still has decent battery life (longer than the ps5 dualsense edge, but not as long as the Xbox Elite Series 2).

This is honestly my most favorite controller I've ever used.i used it heavily in fps games on pc for about 6 months before my kids decided to spill orange juice all over it so i had to buy another. But before that after the 6 months of use there was no signs of any sort or stick drift or shorting. The charger for it is so strong you can just toss it on and pick it up by the charger(it's a stand) and itll pick it up/still work without any sort of issues! Overall this is my favorite controller ive ever used!

Took a bit to get connected and updated with xbox but so far loving the customization through the controller lcd screen. Feels great in the hands and doesnt take long getting used to the bottom buttons. I always set them up as the x, a, b, y buttons. Love this more then the elite 2 so far and the lights are a great touch.

As an avid gamer who is always trying new controllers, I had high hopes for this one. The clicky buttons and hall effect sticks were a major draw for me. I wish someone would create a basic controller with good sticks and clicky buttons.
But after opening the box, I was greeted with beautiful hardware and a carrying case that had a soft, suede-like interior, unlike the elite controllers. The controller feels great in my hand, and most of the buttons are a joy to click.
However, my initial excitement was short-lived, as I was extremely disappointed with the following issues: random power downs mid-use (every few minutes), random disconnections (which required me to repair every few minutes), inability to pair with the mobile app (preventing me from updating it, even after trying on multiple devices), right trigger with a strange click as if there was debris stuck inside not allowing a full click, and left stick not calibrated properly and, even after following the on-device recalibration, it would only input right and down (I have a video of this happening).
Moreover, any changes made to settings such as color and rear buttons would only save until the controller turned off, after which it would factory reset itself. I couldn't recommend this controller to anyone. Thank you, Turtle Beach, for trying something new and pushing others to compete, but unfortunately, the only way I'd keep this controller is if it was free. I have returned the device and will continue to search for a controller that actually works and impresses. Thanks for reading my review.

I got to be honest I do not find a single thing that I don't like about this controller. I have gone through countless controllers, sixty dollars a pop. Beyond board calibration software alone is exciting. Ten profiles. Even though the sticks arent swapable, they are drift free, halleffect and on zero dead zone very responsive. The base acts as a drop in fast charger via usb C (when only connected to power)and a wifi transmitter (when connected to PC) which is blazing fast. But it also is bluetooth compliant. Bottom paddle buttons are extremely sensitive and takes getting used to. But the benefits of mastering them, and the trigger lock functions for FPS are obvious. I can go on and on. I mean you can check your dang social media on it.

I’ve been running this controller for a month now with a lot of hours on it already. The buttons and sticks are smooth. I don’t like the placement of the buttons on the back. I like a little more separation. I would use the screen to set up a profile and change the colors, but it was not something I felt that I needed to use after that.
After putting hours and hours on a few different controllers, I go back to the elite 2 pro Xbox controller.

It’s not bad, battery life is good and the connection is really stable throughout my house. The app for it though is super finicky and doesn’t work properly so I wish turtle beach would fix that. For the price, I’d say it’s a bit steep considering what you’re paying for but other than that it’s not a terrible product.

So far, i have enjoyed the Turle Beach Stealth Pro Controller. Everything feels premium quality, along with the case. It is super easy to prgram with the integrated screen and the companion app makes updates simple. I did experience some hiccups with the connectivity of the control during matches in COD. The right stick in particular would just spin. It has happened on more than one occasion but not to the point that it is annoying. I am sure with a patch, this will be resolved. The micro switch buttons are what really stand out as they are super responsive. I feel Turtle Beach has set the bar for next gen controllers and I would expect others to follow on this path.

Very cool concept. B8t the contoller just doesnt respond like the elite series 2 controller feels. I love the location of the buttons on the back. Its game changer. Most contollers have those wing style tabs. And i can only seem to get comfortable with using a max of 2 of them. One on each side. But with the stealth controller i now fully use all 4 mapping buttons. But i wish i could swap out the thumbtics like the elite. All and all its a solid controller, but i went back to the elite after 2 weeks.

This is a great controller but the reason I’m giving it a two star is I’m going to have to use my warranty because the left stick under the thumb pad that rides along the outer ring is getting worn out creating grooves making it not smooth when rotating. Xbox elite has metal that rides on metal where this one has a metal ring where the stick is plastic. Had this controller only 2 months.

I wasn't sure about buying this controller with a lot of bad reviews. But I wanted to give it a try, and wow, it's the one i was looking for. If you are a competitive player and care about the input delay, this controller is perfect. I saw some bad reviews about the buttons felt cheap, but im pretty sure they dont know anything about good quality. The buttons feel like clicking a mouse perfect for a fast response while playing competitive

So many things to love, but so many let downs. I’ve been trying for years to find the perfect controller. I really thought this might be it. However I bought this controller less than two weeks ago and have maybe 50+ hrs on it. I don’t like that not all of the buttons are remappable. You cannot remap the start select or capture buttons. The controller feels lighter than other pro controllers which is really nice. But I can tell you that the battery life is an exaggeration. If I leave it full power mode it lasts me the day. However my biggest gripe is the thumb sticks. No way to change heights and the thumb sticks grind against the terrible friction ring. I’m going to have to return the controller because the gritty grind feeling that is ruining my game play. I constantly feel the thumbsticks grinding which pulls me from game experience. This could have been a really great control. But it’s ok as is. The thumbsticks make the a really nice pro controller sub par experience. I really wanted to love this product. I do not see how this made it through QC.

Man oh man, lightyears better than the Elite 2 from Microsoft. Haven't been able to get it to power on my Xbox when powering it on but I don't mind pressing the power button. Lights on 100% will also drain the battery pretty quick no where near the 30 hours they say but if you turn them off you will get over 30 hours. I have gotten a solid 48 hours before completely dead.
Also open-box from best buy has been nothing but a great money saver for me! Thanks for offering it!
