Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra Wireless RGB Gaming Controller, Xbox Series X|S | Also works with PC, Xbox One, Android, Bluetooth, Customizable Display Screen, Rapid Charging Dock, 30-Hr Battery, Black

I've tried literally all of the high-end "pro" Xbox controllers over the years and this one wins by a mile for one major reason; the joysticks on this are next-level. This is one of the only pro controllers using hall effect joysticks on the market today and if you don't know what that means, Google it before you buy a pro controller. The deadzone, responsiveness, and low resistance of the joysticks on this controller are so much better than anything else on the market today. Think about how you game and you'll probably realize that joysticks are the single most important part of a controller. The fact that every single button on it uses a mechanical switch instead of the old mushy, sticky membrane buttons is icing on the cake. The ergonomics further that sweetness as I have XL hands and being able to grip the controller without accidentally pressing the back buttons means a lot to me. I had no quality control issues on my unit and after owning it for two months (20+ hours of use per week) it's still just as good as new. A lot of reviews complaining that it "feels cheap" but feels are worth absolutely nothing (elite series 2 controller proves this; it feels premium, but it's one of the worst pro controllers on the market with terrible quality control, sticky membrane buttons, and sloppy joysticks with atrociously excessive deadzone to hide the stick drift). What matters is performance and the Stealth Ultra wins by a landslide. When I first started trying pro controllers, one thing I cared a lot about was the ability to swap out hardware. Different joysticks, different D-pad, etc. But then I settled into what worked best and never went back. Controllers with swappable components became useless to me as I literally never swapped after this. That said, one of the drawbacks of this controller is that I had to apply a third party joystick extender to the right stick for aiming (I bought the Scufs and they fit perfectly). The other downside is the PC software for this controller, which is pretty bad, but fortunately you don't even need to use it since the LCD screen on the controller let's you do everything the software can.

And update time. 02/24/2025 Well, I’ll start by saying I was REALLY hoping to leave a better review. So I received the replacement. Everything worked good for about 2 days. While playing a video game, I pulled the trigger and it felt kind of weird. I ignored it. Went to use the RB button and it pushes the RT button when I press the RB button. It’s a mechanical issue. Not a software or settings. I requested another replacement and SHOCKER I can only return for a refund. I really wanted this controller to live up to the hype. This company still makes great headphones. It should be noted, I convinced two (2) of my friends to purchase this garbage controller. One of them is already having problems with their D pad buttons. I would avoid this product. Original review written 2/2/2025 So, I am more than willing to update this review accordingly. However, for now this will be my review on this company and this product. For some reason, the wireless connection to my Xbox series X does not work. The audio is so bad you cannot make out what is being said. Yes, all firmware is up-to-date! Yes, all the settings are turned on and correct values. I did indeed request a replacement product Unfortunately, it won’t arrive for almost a week, even though if I buy a brand new one, I can get it next day. I've always enjoyed this brand for their amazing headphones. Maybe they should just stick to making headphones because this controller is terrible. The app (phone and xbox) is worse than the controller. Like I said, I am more than willing to change this review if the replacement product works as it should. The fact the manufacture does not have 24/7 customer support and still has the audacity to charge $200 for a broken controller is disrespectful. I truly hope the replacement product works as it should. Good luck

Love this controller. Only down fall I forget to put it on the charger and the battery last 6-8 hours on full charge other than that great controller. It’s super easy to map all the buttons that can be done right on the controller mid game. I was looking for a new controller for Xbox when I came across this and its plug and play. The mechanical buttons are my favorite part of the controller. Everybody feels like the click of a mouse.

Bought this to replace a Microsoft Elite Xbox Controller for my XBOX X console. This controller feels larger than the elite, and requires an additional app to be downloaded to be used. Be aware that it doesn't sync directly to the xbox's bluetooth but rather to an adaptor or dongle which sits on the charging stand, therefore it doesn't turn on the console when you press the XBOX button like the Elite controller did. It's possible that this dongle is meant for PCs or other devices that don't have bluetooth? I'll see if I can pair directly with XBOX via bluetooth, but out of the box you'll have to manually turn on the xbox before you sit down to game. The extra buttons on the Bottom are a little too well paced to align with naturally holding the controller so often trigger the programmed buttons which makes for interesting in game mistakes. While buttons are programmable using the free app, there is no ability to do combination buttons like the elite had. It's also much lighter. Note: I'm not a competitive gamer, but a casual gamer so I can't comment if this controller will give you the edge, but for me, works better than a standard controller or a broken Microsoft Elite 2. :-)

I have big enough hands that most controllers feel uncomfortable. For instance, I can't use the xbox elite controller, because it just feels too cramped (e.g. it's angled too far inward). The best controller that I've found in that regard in recent years is the Astro C40, but unfortunately, they don't make it anymore (and mine wore out), and it has playstation buttons, which is great when playing on playstation but annoying on PC. However, this controller from Turtle Beach comes close, and it has much better buttons. They're quite clicky, so it's always clear when they're pressed, and they feel nice to press. The tension on the sticks isn't as high as I'd like, but it's still good. The triggers are great. They not only have trigger stops, but the controller actually turns the triggers into proper buttons when they're locked instead of you having to go into the settings to change their sensitivity (which the C40 unfortunately requires). So, overall, I'd say that the controls are quite solid. The real winner though is the shape, since it feels _much_ nicer in my hands than a typical xbox controller. Ideally, it would be a bit larger than it is, but it's so much better than the other controllers that I've tried recently that I'd have to recommend it on that basis alone if your hands aren't small. Now, the fact that the controller has RGB lighting on it is just stupid and annoying IMHO. It's a waste of power and distracting. Fortunately, you can turn it off in the settings, which makes for a _much_ more pleasant experience. That being said, I did have to do custom settings, since the eco settings also make the controller turn off annoyingly quickly - the range is 1 minute to 10 minutes (or always on), and the eco mode puts it on the shortest time - whereas if you further customize the settings, you can tweak how long the controller will go before automatically shutting itself off. The controller comes with a nice charging stand that you can also plug the USB dongle into, so then it's connected through the stand instead of having the dongle connected directly to the computer. The stand will also stop charging the controller once the battery is full, so you can just leave it on the stand without worrying about wearing the battery down, which is nice. The one issue that I've run into is that occasionally, when you wake the controller up, the dongle fails to get the signal and stays asleep, so I have to unplug the stand and plug it back in again, which is annoying, but it's not the end of the world. And most of the time, it reconnects just fine. The controller also allows you to plug in a USB-C cable directly if you want to use or charge it that way. The controller has a small, simple display on it which allows you to configure some stuff (though I haven't bothered; I've just used the PC application to do it), but what is nice about it is that it shows the battery level. And the screen has a timeout similar to the controller itself, so it can be set to turn off after a minute and then not turn on again until you press the button. It would be nicer if it would also turn off with the same button rather than having a timeout, but you can't have everything, I suppose. And you can adjust how bright the screen is (or how bright the lights are if you actually want them on). So, all of the various annoyances that drain the battery can be dimmed and/or turned off. And of course, you can configure a number of things about the buttons and sticks if you so desire, though I haven't done much with that. I just wanted a controller that fit nicely in my hands, and button customization is simply a nice bonus. One potential concern with regards to the longevity of the controller is that the edge of the grips, which are rougher than the rest of the controller, feel like they were probably glued on, and IIRC, I saw some other folks say that theirs had come off. And while I haven't had any problems along those lines yet (and wouldn't expect to any time soon), that part of the controller does feel kind of cheap such that it wouldn't surprise me if they did come off eventually. My initial thought was that I would have preferred that they made the grips nicer and skipped the charging stand, but I've come to really like the charging stand. But still, if they were to make improvements, the most obvious things would be to make the grips nicer and to get rid of all of the RGB garbage (which would presumably also help with the cost), but at least the lighting can be turned off.

Final Edit: One year after purchase. The down button on the D-pad double clicks every time I use it, which messes up several things in game like using a potion twice or scrolling past menu items. My P4 back paddle button now won't pop back up after pressing it, rendering it unreliable. The controller disconnects randomly some days, regardless of being up to date on firmware and wired most of the time. I take good care of my controllers, especially something this expensive. Originally, I loved this controller and the hall effect sticks were the big draw because my other brand pro controller had stick drift issues 2 years in. Unfortunately, the buttons on this Turtle Beach controller are buggy and failing long before the sticks failed on the other brand. And I'm outside the warranty now so I have to eat this on my own. DO NOT RECOMMEND 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.

Controller works as expected. Battery life is decent. Build quality is not the greatest. The rubber grips have become unglued and the d-pad is now squeaky/ noisy. The programming button is easy to accidentally press during intense sessions resulting in confusion as no buttons respond during play. Overall I do not believe this controller to be with the premium.

Update 2: the replacement had the same failure in exactly 60 days. Yesterday I was playing marvel rivals and the right trigger started feeling unresponsive and would randomly stop firing. Then it started firing nonstop. After the match ended, I inspected the trigger and found it was crooked and has the same "slop" as last time. This is definitely a design flaw. I never felt or heard anything crack or snap, it seems the hinge is just weak/soft plastic. I've owned dozens of controllers in my life and used them for thousands of hours, and these are the only two I've ever had experience a failure. Update: I stopped using this controller after forgetting to return it. But unfortunately a couple months ago my Elite 2 controller had some issues and I had to send it in, so I figured I'd give this a shot again. I can say the software updates helped, though occasionally it does have issues with the thumbsticks going in the wrong direction or button clicks not registering. But it was tolerable for casual gaming. However, last week I was playing Halo and all of a sudden my right trigger stopped firing correctly. I noticed any gun I pulled out would fire full auto, and eventually the trigger stopped working all together. I also noticed the right bumper was very difficult to push. After the match I took a look and noticed the trigger was just flopping around inside the controller. I thought maybe it was just knocked out of place so I attempted to see if I could re-seat it. But it just fell out of the controller, where I could see the trigger had just snapped off right at the hinge. I was able to fill out an RMA, but unfortunately Turtle Beach will not send out a replacement until they receive my controller, and then they say it will take 10-14 business days to send a replacement. But I'm back to using my Elite 2, and although it does have minor strict drift, the back paddles are much better than the TB, and it doesn't require an external transmitter like the TB. The E2 triggers and buttons also feel dramatically better, and overall configuring the buttons is much simpler. And in general the TB feels so much cheaper, especially for the insane price tag. For 79$ it'd probably be a good buy, but at its current price it's still an absolute scam. On paper it's the ideal controller. At least currently it's the only wireless controller with hall effect sticks, back buttons/paddles, and adjustable triggers. However in reality it's just not ready for primetime. It feels like something you'd expect from a Kickstarter where it was the company's first project. My 1st main issue I came across was the absolutely atrocious app they use on Xbox to configure the controller. Just setting up a profile is incredibly clunky and intuitive compared to say the Elite 2. In app there's controller input lags, doesn't register, or registers too much (aka nonstop button clicks). I got into a game after setting everything up in my profile and the settings didn't save even though they show as saved in the app. I ended up using my standard controller to setup the turtle beach since the inputs were so inconsistent in the app it was unusable. Aside from that, I've noticed the controller will miss button clicks, even though I fully depress the trigger/button and can hear the audible click. The sticks also sometimes randomly keep moving after being recentered and you have to bump it to get it to stop. I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue, but it's on the latest firmware so if it's the firmware there's no fix currently. The screen is definitely a cool idea, but for me it's not something I needed, and likely a large contributor to the high cost. Also is kind of annoying you have to use a dongle and it can't connect in the same way a normal controller does. I got this controller because I had stick issues with my Elite 2 out of the box, and figured I'd try it while it was out for repairs. This will tide me over, but I'd definitely never consider keeping it at $200 with how unreliable it is. I'm sure the next batch/generation of this controller will be great, but until then I'm sticking with the Elite 2. There are other companies making hall effect controllers now, so it's just a matter of time until someone comes out with a competitor that checks all my boxes.

I really like this controller. It takes some time to get used to the on board LCD screen and menu. The software on computer works but doesn't actually control the controller in any way. I'm not sure why it exists. I would but it again for sure

Muy bueno
