5.0 out of 5 stars Really good alternative to the official controllers, now my go to controller!

I decided if I was going to spend in the region of £120 on a premium controller I'd try something different.Been going a few months on this now, mostly playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which is intensive on that top right shoulder button since it's the main attack one! Still going strong and cracking heads with it.The controller sits nicely in the hands, the buttons are slightly out from the standard controller but you get used to it very quickly. It's very responsive and it looks good too, what with all the LED lighting and so on.About the lighting, it may contribute to the battery consumption quite considerably. I've not run out yet, but after maybe 6 hours of gaming I have noticed when I put it back on charge it is around the 30% mark. This might be a consideration for people out there who have a worse gaming habit than me! You can turn the lights off and so on, so you can probably extend the battery life to a certain degree if you play with the settings.I've ostensibly used this on my X Box, but I did plug it into my laptop and it performed equally well on there; plus you have the application to download where you can program the additional buttons, set profiles and the like.I have had occasions where it took a couple of minutes for a connection between the controller and the BluTooth stick that comes with it. I don't know though, that may have been me, so I'm not going to dock points for it.Overall, a very nice peripheral and one that I am glad I took a chance on. Mostly because 6 months on I'm not looking to replace it because it's faulty, like the similarly priced Microsoft ones!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money IMO

O.M. · 23 October 2024

The media could not be loaded. For transparency I’ll make you all aware upfront that I have returned this controller.I was debating for a good few weeks whether to buy this controller or one of its competitors. After watching and reading countless reviews I finally settled with this one and pulled the trigger (mind the pun).I guess besides the actual issues (which I’ll detail below) I just expected more from a near £200 controller. It just feels - not quite right. I don’t know how to explain it but the ergonomics and feedback of the controller just feels so awkward and uncomfortable.So let’s get into the actual problems with the controller I received specifically:- I could swear I was sent a pre-owned controller as so many signs suggest this - the box was marked and looked like it had been re-taped, the controller case was missing, as was the USB cable. The controller itself had grease marks on and the screen had finger prints. Now I know none of this was due to Quality Inspection because of my next point.- These controllers are mass produced and have very little, to zero human QA. So mine for example arrived with a list of faults.- the LB bumper doesn’t click and it’s very hard to actually press it for it to register.-The right stick has crazy stick drift (Uhm so much for Hall effect stick).- The right D-pad button crunches and misclicks and randomly triggers the left D-pad button which is bizarre.- The controller only works while wired as whenever it is used wireless it cuts out randomly every couple of minutes.- Using the controller with a headset is absolutely useless as everyone I usually play with has said my headset (which is decent) has started sounding robotic and muffled and quiet ever since using it with this controller, I have tried multiple different mic related settings in the controller setup and nothing!- controller doesn’t work with my phone (iPhone 15)- the docking station is useless due to the controller being wired 24/7All in all, a less than joyful experience and a disappointing inconvenience. As I mentioned earlier I have returned this now (due to lack of support from Turtle Beach) and I will be going with another brand 😄

5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight, versatile and easy to use

M. · 3 December 2024

Got this when it was in a sale and my current controller (vanilla xbox controller) was getting stick drift. I have used standard controllers and the xbox elite controller for comparison. The elite, while weighted and having a solid feel, broke 3 times in a year that I had to send back to get replaced, before it broke again out of warranty and I was given a discount to buy a new one so I gave u and went back to standard controllers.On getting this I was pleased with it straight out the box, although it is lightweight, it feels solid. on first set up to the xbox I downloaded the app to manage the controller settings, this initially put me off. It felt overly complex and hard to navigate, however, after becoming more familiar I discover that all the settings are able to be changed from the controller itself in a very user friendly interface on the controller display. This then made the xbox app easier to understand, though I still change all setting directly on the controller. Yoju can set different profiles, change the controller colours, switch hair triggers on or off, reset calibrate the controller thumbsticks and triggers, change various headphone auido options. The battery life is great, though if you have all the lights on, vibration etc etc it will obviously draw the battery a lot quicker.This is a fantastic bit of kit and so far has served me well. Very happy.

Źle skalowane w moim monitorze Ultra HD i nieintuicyjna obsługa. Sam sprzęt godny polecenia.

Manette agréable, pratique, et personalisable.

Superbe manette achetée pour jouer sur xbox série X.L'écran présent sur la manette permet une multitude de réglages pour les différents paramètres de chat vocaux, le son des jeux, l'amplification du micro et la qualité des sons environnants.Elle est équipée de palettes au dos qui sont des boutons personalisable également.Elle a aussi des réglages pour les différents types d'illuminations, la couleur des les, la fréquence et le type d'éclairage sont entièrement personalisables !Bon produit, à voir dans le temps je l'utilise chaque après-midi et soirées, je n'ai pour le moment pas assez de recul pour juger sur la durée de vie du produit, mais semble de qualité raisonnable.

Buen control

Buen control con buenos botones y tiempo de reacción.

Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo

Ottimo prodotto. Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. La configurazione del controller non è sicuramente molto semplice anzi e molto complessa ma una volta che si capisce come fare diventa tutto più semplice. Lo uso da pochi giorni ma la prima impressione è molto positiva.

EDITED: Great investment for pro-controller experience & big hands

M.G.L. · 12 December 2024

EDIT: Now that I've owned this for a few months I have found some flaws I want to note as my original review was based on the first few weeks. One challenge is that I'm finding the controller does crash occasionally. As it has restarting it takes time between the boot up sequence and connectivity seeking this can lead to losing competitive matches. Also, it seems that sometimes the controller glitches and doesn't respond to input immediately or holds the last command too long. I found my character would keep walking in a direction for a second or two after I already stopped using the stick.I still think it's a great controller and I'm hoping a firmware update is going to help fix those issues. But I'm the last few weeks I've run into some issues that got me killed in games more than once.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I'm writing this on a comparative basis as it is understandably hard to drop so much money on a high-performance controller without understanding what makes it better than its peers. Aside from owning standard Xbox controllers I also have an Xbox Elite, Xbox Elite 2, and a Scuf Instinct Pro controller. By far, this is my favorite of the high-performance controllers! Recently I decided I had to either get a new Scuf or find something similar because the stick drift had gotten so bad on my Scuf after 2 years. You can only wander off a tight edge accidentally so many times before you decide to retire your big investment! I decided to risk it on this new Stealth controller because of the hall effect sticks which will avoid the drift issue altogether.BACK BUTTONS & TRIGGERS: Of those controllers I own, I would say this feels more like a Scuf controller in design due to the back button placement. The buttons on the back depress like a mouse click so it has a very instant response feeling to it. The trigger pull switches work much the same way. I find they are useful in scenarios where I don't want to full draw the trigger for an action that isn't dependent on proportional input. Shooting a gun? That's your feature to use!DESIGN & FEEL: The controller is slightly more flared outward on the back than a standard Xbox controller. For me that is perfect because I have big hands and it feels less crunched in. It will fit an average person's hands fine, it just felt a little more "roomy" for me and that was appreciated. Where my fingers are bigger I found myself appreciating the large back buttons that function more like a push/pull motion. The Elite series' paddles are tiny and my fingers would push both simultaneously, or I couldn't differentiate between the paddles easily in the heat of an intense moment and would hit the wrong one. However, the Turtle Beach Stealth avoids this entirely with those clearly defined and separate buttons on the back. The sticks feel fantastic and smooth. The rubber grips they provide are actually good quality and make me feel like my investment is protected, too. I notice that my other controllers' stick heads do eventually degrade from constant use. The Elite allows me to wholesale swap them out while the Scuf doesn't. And 3rd party stick covers are hit or miss. But these delivered ones feel high quality and do the job just right. As well, the D-Pad is contoured in a way that feels intuitive and the material is decent quality. The buttons all work just fine, too. I wouldn't say they have any ups or downs compared to their peers.The only downside I have found is that the double square and menu buttons have to sit so far off from where they normally sit on an Xbox controller. It isn't a big issue, but I have years of muscle memory to retrain so I'm not pushing on the screen every time I try to pull up the map or menu.SCREEN & LEDs: Speaking of the screen, I would say that this feature is amazing! And if you are like me, this was both intriguing and also the big unknown variable unique to this controller.I love being able to quickly look at what my button mappings are right on the screen. You can adjust virtually everything by toggling into the system mode with the + button at the bottom of the controller (under the media capture button) and navigating the menu right on your controller. You can update your profile presets and controller light options right there. You can also adjust input curves and vibration levels. The customization is off the charts and you can store up to 10 profiles on your controller itself. You can also build up profiles with custom names and send them to your controller via your Xbox or phone app. I think you could have more than 10 profiles set up on your Xbox and just send the top 10 you need to your controller, but it beats the 3 basic profile options I had on my Scuf and the labor of managing your device profiles for the Elite series. Accessible is an understatement!A cool extra feature is you can use an app on your phone to allow messages to be sent directly to your controller. It's neat, but I wouldn't say it is essential. Every time you turn on your controller you have to remember to turn on the app on your phone to allow communication via Bluetooth. Reading on the controller is fun but it isn't super clean. Good for letting you know what your buddy sent you in response to your "Getting on, u joining?" message, but the value is limited given the hassle to sync it every time.The LED lights are stylish and you can adjust the pattern, color, and brightness pretty well. I found some patterns were distracting and damn near seizure inducing. For example, "Breathe" mode wasn't a steady ramped up glow to the color of choice then fade as I expected, but was instead more like a frenetic flashing that made me think my controller was having a panic attack! And "Responsive" (I think that's what it was called) didn't seem to be responding to anything that I could tell, but maybe I just need to read the directions further. To each their own, I wound up using whichever mode it was that makes it look like the color runs from top to bottom and cycles back.FINAL THOUGHTS: I highly recommend this controller if you are in the market for a high-performance pro Xbox controller! Be prepared to get used to a different feeling when holding the controller due to the contour differences. For me it is a positive change at least.
