Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on February 28, 2022FYI: I bought this controller myself, and it is not part of the Vine program. Their pictures are gonna be way better than any I take so refer to them.
I never thought of Turtle Beach in terms of controllers. Headphones is their thing and I've had a few that were at best....meh.
When I saw this controller and what it offered in features and price; I figured I would check it out. I bought this for PC use only and do not have an XBOX, so if you're looking for XBOX related stuff....sorry.
I used a Playstation controller for a while, but they are not great (they're TERRIBLE) with Windows. I got a cheap Logitech to use until I could find a good one that I liked. Which ended up being this.
The button layout and ergonomics are pretty familiar and you won't need to relearn how to use a controller with it. The two programmable buttons on the bottom are good, but I found where they are positioned to be a problem as I kept unintentionally pushing them. I have larger hands so I have to adjust a bit how I hold it. They don't work for every button on the controller. Just the top L-R bumpers and not the triggers, the D Pad, XYBA buttons, and the joystick push functions only.
I would have liked to have been able to program the menu buttons for games like Destiny 2 and Division 2, but none of those are an option. All input functions are very responsive and accurate. One of the interesting features on the gameplay side is the ability to set up the so-called Pro-Aim Focus Mode. Simply put it just slows down your aim input to give you a bit more stability. It may be cool for you or you may not use it at all. Depends on how you like to shoot things lol
I don't really get what they mean by "cooling" grips as they don't feel any different to me than most others. They don't actively cool your hands, just claim that by design, your hands will stay cooler. Honestly, I didn't feel it.
I personally found the rumble function was so strong I turned it off. I like the DualShock feel, but this thing is like that on steroids. Super distracting when trying to pick someone off with a sniper rifle.
Headphone features are where it really shines outside the in game functions. It has all the controls you get on most TB headphones but will work on ANY headphone you plug in via the 3.5mm cable. I tried cheap buds, a Logitech Pro, and three other gaming headsets of varying qualities and you can make some meh headphones actually sound pretty cool. The side tone feature, (where you can hear yourself) worked with every headphone I used that had a mic BUT the ability to mix chat volume and game volume individually ONLY works on XBOX. Not a huge issue. You can change game volumes in game and make it work. I really liked the fact they put a mic mute button on the controller that turns red when you use it.
Makes keeping those sounds you don't want (or shouldn't make) your fireteam to hear out of the party lol. You know what I mean. Plus if you're one of those annoying types who likes to eat while playing, you can spare your friends the sounds of your mouth. This isn't ASMR. And...it's gross.
You can read, so I'm not going to repeat everything they already said. I will say that the one big issue I have with it is the USB connection. As most gamers know, USB is way more accurate and quicker than Bluetooth. So, we're more likely to have our controllers wired in. The problem I have with the USB connection on this controller is the same as the one I have with PS controllers: There's too much stress put on the USB connection by the 10ft long braided cable and I feel it will eventually fail at the USB socket just as every one of my PS ones have. Since this is a wired only controller, I kinda would have preferred it to have been internally attached.
Time will tell, but I can already feel some wobble in the USB connection. I don't look forward to it failing since it's wired only, you can't just switch to wireless and say Oh well... It basically becomes a brick.
I would have given it 5 stars but for the USB connection issue. The price is really good for all that you get with this and I got the black one only because they didn't have white in stock. It's an all around winner in the mid-range controller market and the sound features push it past anything at this price range. Let's just hope I'm wrong about the connection. Buy it. You'll like it.
