If turtle beach would have made this compatible with the Stealth Pro headset somehow, shewwwwweeeee that would have been 💯♥️
I am with you and I agree I am mix on it but I will get it try it out
My thoughts exactly. Got both in the last 3 days. Got the controller thinking it would link seeing that it’s the same company. Now, as an elite 2 controller owner, I’m considering returning it
@@ChrisMiller-kl6cei have the elite 2 control , dont know if buy this too
I don't use my middle fingers for the paddles on my elite controller I use the ring finger (next to pinkys) that might be a problem for me
Hoping they will make an update so we can use the headset with it too. The only thing I was bummed about. I still think my favorite controller has been the Razor Wolverine tournament edition. They had the best placement for the back triggers
It would have been nice if it brought integration with the Stealth Pro headsets where you can wirelessly control the functions. It feels like a missed opportunity to sell them as an “ecosystem”.
Man I was thinking the same thing! That would have made me main them both!
@@Billderberg85 I appreciate the phone app but it’s not always very reliable cause you could always get a call or text or something that will take you off the app. Also, same thing for the computer app and I’m sorry but as much as I love my stealth pro headphones, those 3 buttons are hard af to find quickly. I’d imagine they could still integrate it though firmware on the controller but thanks to that simple fact of them not including it, plus I’m not a fan of the side by side back button configuration, I’m gonna wait and see what the Elite Series 3 has to offer. I have all the time in the world as I love my Elite series 2.
Do kontrol freek work on them plzz tell me 🙏
@@jorgiewtf as much as I loved my white elite 1, I also got the elite 2 from my brother and oh my the issues with the quality wasn’t fixed, bumper buttons broke and even the A button stopped working and not to mention the stick drift, my elite 1 had less issues other than the grips coming off
Trash controller...
Instant thumbs up just for how quickly you started talking about the product! Love it!
@WyattStensrud I have to agree with you. I hate when reviewers ramble on about everything but the product they are reviewing!
Thanks for the review! Definitely gonna be picking this one up. You sold me with the notification bit, you mentioned your son having diabetes, I have type 1 and have a few of my friends blood sugars on my phone as well. So it'll definitely be helpful to have that show up while I'm gaming. You've just earned a new subscriber!
Great video I'm getting me one very soon keep up the amazing reviews
Thank you for dropping this video , been thinking about buying
I just got mine the other day, got it charged up first, then went to the settings. Finally got to the point of what to do and when, however they were right about the battery, plus I had a hard time connecting wireless and wired, stuck with the wireless and finally got it to work. Being as though I found a work around in charging the controller, I just use the charger and cord like I use on my phone. Overall it feels good in the hands, the buttons and triggers are top notch, barely touch them, instant, it's got everything you would want in a controller, and set up the way you want it, only you, so for the price I say it's worth it, and anybody gets this controller in their hands would definitely love it, where they can play any game and go thru it like it's nobody business, relax and play, and this controller have everything that others don't have, right in the palm of your hand, the app is crap, better installed on your Xbox, only issue I have is the notifications that I can get, but no worries, I just keep it on the back burner, but far was my game play, I can go back to one of my favorite games and zoom right thru it with no issues what so ever. Looks are fine, but once you get it in your hands and start using it, takes a while new perspective. I think the other controller makers will take notice. I am waiting to see other video come out of gamers actually playing their game with it. 👍👍👍😎😎😎.
If I play with this controller wired , will the battery life always last ?
Great review man! Very thorough. 🔥
Gotta get this! One dope ass controller. So glad they changed how they do the back buttons. Never could use them because I always hit em by accident
Love seeing a controller review!! Also, as a life long controller user, even on PC, my favorite controller is the standard xbox one/series controller. I tried and elite back in the day, and I didn't have the dexterity to use the back buttons and stuff. But, with that being said, I can still appreciate a high quality controller
Same. It's still a really nice controller though. I just took them all of and use it as a normal controller.
The elite series 2 controller saved me from playing Claw style saving my hand a bit from arthritis later. It took a long time to re learn to not use ABXY on the top but it’s so nice now that I’m used to it. Stick drift is my enemy though so I’m very interested in this controller
Do kontrol freek work on them plzz tell me 🙏
thank you for uploading this before release..now im going to preorder it lol
Great review! Any chance can we get a follow up on how the equalizer performs with headsets in the sound and mic department? Really interested if they changed superhearing mode and how each preset sounds!
I hope they add UI updates to the screen in the future adding more. That would also make the price point worth it if they add new features over time.
Another great review! Thank you! BTW loving my wicked cushions, they are Stinking Cozy 💯🤘🫶
Thanks a bunch man
Got mine yesterday. I love it!!!!
Very cool next level, however I do use a chat mixer plugged into the bottom of the gamepad!
do we have haptic feedback or adaptive trigger options yet on Xbox?
That's decided then, this is the one for me.... thanks for the help!
My biggest concern would be battery life. All those lights and a screen? Plus it being ultra lightweight says that the internal battery probably isn't very big to begin with.
Can you please explain how to get all the notifications from your phone to the controller? The app only shows the version and my controller but no options in settings. Also when I'm connected blutooth to my phone I can't use the controller.
This controller is truly outstanding! I love it
Would you review the C2 Gripzthey are a pistol grip style handle that mounts to the bottom of the controller. I'm waiting on mine to come in the mail. I think it's gonn be a fame changer for me I'm 6'7 and have huge hands. It's frustrating sometimes but hopefully these will help.
can you make a vid of the best headsets built like a tank? I'd love to see what you feel are the most durable headsets while also have having great sound quality and features
Nice video...I like the weight on my Elite controller....
Pretty cool. Im a little leary about the sticky buttons, sticky sounding d pad, and the very thin plasticy grips.
So you are using back buttons with one finger? Not two?
Nice video! Unfortunately, I’ve had no luck with Turtle Beach products (headsets and controllers) lasting more than a year.
I’m worried I’d run into the same issue with this one after you stated it’s light. And to me, light is cheap as well.
I take good care of my controllers and headsets and haven’t had any issues with my non TB equipment
Can you please make a comparison between the stealth ultra vs the raikiri pro????😊
How do I use social cos i connect my phone to controller via Bluetooth then you need to connect it to your Xbox then the controller disconnects from phone
How the hell do you get the socials working? Looks like i can bluetooth to my phone like literally control my phone but cant connect at the same time as connected to xbox
How did you connect to phone app. I only have one option and that's to change profile?
is the controller 250 rate faster if plugged in , or maxed 250 either way ?
I wish it was heavier. I love the weight of the Elite controller. Weight is often seen as a sign of quality. I agree with you on the cheap vibe. With all of the lights and features it should have had a larger battery, which would add some needed weight.
weight ≠ quality
PowerA used to put lead weights their bad controllers to make them feel less cheap. Less weight is better anyway
Make a new video talking about, how has the control been in this 4 mounth❤❤
I had my Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma for like 2 years now and its still amazing. I tried 2 normal turtle beach controllers but got stick drift with in a month and put me off then i got the razer best controller ive had.
I have the turtle beach recon and although the features are cool I only started going hard with it recently with call of duty and the stick drift is ridiculous.
@@ZERONI7 i had one that lasted a month playing sea of thieves and i sent it bk and the new one i got had worse stick drift out the box i just think turtle beach dont last most of the stuff in the new controller razer has a xbox app to play with and its so fast
I think these are hall sensor sticks though. So zero stick drift
Everytime i connect it to my phone and go to settings, it disconnects and turns off for some reason and i have more than half battery life at a minimum. This controller is so new that i haven't found anything about being able to troubleshoot. Any tips or advice? I want to be able to get notifications for text messages and stuff because my phone is usually on my desk when I'm playing. And just so you dont have to ask to make sure, i gave the app permission to read notifications.
I can't seem to get social on mine, plus how do u update, I go to the update and it jst says need to be connected to the app
As you talk about the phone app, why i dont find a link to the app, as you like phoneapps for such a device?
Looking at getting one but definitely have the same concerns from what I have heard.
You should be able to put backgrounds on the screen. That would be a cool feature.
I love the review but I can't agree about the cheap feeling or the buttons being mushy. This is by far the best $200 dollar price point controller I've ever used and this D pad is next level for fighting games.
Oh it’s a great controller for sure, as I said in the video. But more feature packed than anything.
I agree 💯 this guy hasn't a clue, it's by far the best controller and it's so fast with it's magnetic controls it definitely gives you the edge online and beats any other joypad to the punch by fractions of a second in reaction times..
and those thumbsticks are so fast at turning and aiming to the point it's like cheating your rivals.
fun fact, that extra mush you feel in the face buttons is pressure sense, i found that out when playing with xinput on mine
pressure sense? That little mush drives me crazy
Is it really small like the stock Series controller?
I hear a lot of people say about the battery life , I want to ask can this controller be wired and used , I don’t mind using a wired controller if that would eliminate the need of charging I’ll just play with it plugged in
Does the controller offer rainbow RGB...all colors together? Or is it only a single solid color at a time?
The back buttons kinda look awkward to press compared to the elite series x, are they?
Regarding your promotion of the HS80 Max - does this connect to Xbox x?
Can this be used with the playstation 5 as well?
I want to love it so bad especially for thr anti drift but I love the paddle positions of my Elite Controller..😢
these back buttons/paddles are actually very nice
That's what I was thinking I use the fingers next to my pinkys to press the paddles on my elite. He seems to use his middle fingers which wouldn't feel right to me
Does the controller boost audio , for example the different settings like base boost or super hearing , for footsteps or enemy sound
no boost, but you can tell the difference with sound profiles
Where can I find the phone app on android? It's not showing in the app store.
Anyone got any idea how to sync the notifications? I connected Bluetooth to my phone but I’m not getting them. I hit activate but immediately after backing out the app link screen and going back it’s disconnected and says activate again. That’s the only thing I can’t do with my controller is get notifications to pop up.
same
How do I connect it to my Android phone, I can't find the app
Awesome review, my controller doesn’t connect wirelessly. I downloaded app on pc and everything. Works fine wired.
I had exactly the same issue! Tried for 45 minutes to connect the damn thing but no joy so sent it back! 😢
What is the app in the play store called?
Do you have to manually reconnect to the app (phone) every time you turn on the controller to get notifications?
no
How use the notification on the screen I can make works help
Wish it was heavier tbh I like the weight of the Elite
So far I love what I've seen of this controller, my only gripe is the lack of swappable sticks. Weird that they didn't include that at this price point.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing
From what I saw you cannot program r3 or l3 to the back buttons.
It’s pretty much a deal breaker considering they are smaller caps than Xbox so none of the the kontroll freaks fit
I have a razer wolverine currently and my sticks are all worn and warped, they are swappable but razer doesn't sell replacements! What is that about
@@stevenspencer5979They fit, I saw a video about it
But are the buttons as loud as a regular XBox controller?
Do a video on how the social apps part works I'm lost on how that works
I love the idea but im big on "ecosystemic" tech that synergizes with the other products you use it with. Thats why i got elite2 and xbox wireless headset
Wassup Techme 😀
I had 2 of these break in 6 months. The right trigger has a tap on the left side of it, it broke and the the trigger was leaning towards the right side and it jammed the right bumper up because of the trigger coming out of alignment.
This happened on both of them, i had a extended warranty on em so i could get it replaced, but i think i will pass this time though. Maybe they will up their game in the future. Besides that both mine froze once in a while in use. And it froze my xbox up once in a while and some times i could not even switch controller even after reseting the xbox. When it worked i loved using it and and prefered it over the elite controller. Just wanted to share and see how many have/are experiencing the same issues.
Love your content sir 😎🦾👍
im getting mine rma for the second time. first controller one of the rumble motors died and triggiers wouldnt release all the way. the replacment unit after one week has stick drift on right stick. pretty awesome to have anti drift sticks lol so we will see with the third controller i just expected way more for the $200 price tag
@@Bender-is-Great69Sorry to hear that, i can not recommend this product to anybody. Good luck with yours 👍
Nice video but forgot something..can you PLEASE! connect this controller to pc VIA STEAM BIG PICTURE MODE or DESKTOP and then tell me if your able to or customize ALL THE BUTTONS INCLUDING THE REAR peddles using only steam input (no other software) need to know before ibuy if steam will recognize all buttons to be customized???(please enable steam input for xbox controller & xbox extended features in controller settings first)
Why not Google it? Dudes not your personal reviewer. He's doing it for him, that's a ridiculous ask.
So you can´t put the audio "gadget" in that. There´s no holes in it?
Can you used a wired headset with it?
I just bought this. I have an issue where I'm pulling the trigger and it won't shoot sometimes anyone else deal with this?
Are the sticks metal?
my controller keeps buzzing in the mic and idk how to fix it
Can it show the fps for pc games?
I wonder why it is that the extra buttons on the back can't do anything except push already existing buttons. Also, you can adust your volume but only if your headphones are plugged into the controller has anybody ever had headphones plugged in to the controller. Am I wrong?
It probably only lets you map it to existing buttons because otherwise you’re basically cheating, or at the very least have to potential to. For instance, if i could make the paddle execute the button combo “XYY”, thats basically a macro i could use for an advantage in a fighting game. I like the way it is: allows players to use paddles to have a smoother and more skillful gaming experience while also not giving players ways to cheat like a chronus or something like that would
Does it have stick drift?
are your ABXY buttons click like a mouse click? the microswitch should be very responsive and easy to press so maybe you got a defective controller?
they kinda, but not as much as say the scuff envision or razer controller.
@@TheTechne I saw other reviews and they had a clear mouse click to them. you might wanna compare it to yours
@@Ventus7777maybe it’s because I’m coming right off testing the scuff envision. That thing was snappy.
And for someone that uses mice more than controller, no way does this feel like a mouse click.
I think it’s because the actual button is so long before switch. The switches should be right near the top so minimal travel is needed. Razer did this on their controller.
Mine stop working :) doeasnt react and i cant turn it on, i just take it off from docking stand, led turns off and thats it
Not sure if I missed it but do know if this can be overclocked to 1000hz or 500hz or is it standard 124?
For 200$ it better not be standard speed. I would put that in the Esports category how expensive it is.
@@Mark_cheapskate it’s polling locked at 250hz unfortunately
@@stevenspencer5979 200$ slow controller? 😯😯😯
Anyone know if they will make one for the ps5?
Yea im gonna need me one of those
Whats the app called?
can u use this wired?
What is name of app and is it available on Android? Searched for control center didn't find.
Yea control centre 2 it's a white circle with purple tree logo on android
Where can you buy it for $200?
I went through 3 turtle Beach controllers, and they never lasted me more than a year. 😅 yes, the experience one. Always getting stcik drifts.
Just scored one on marketplace for 75 bucks!!! 😍 😍
Hey guys! Which controller would you rather choose? Turtle beach Stealth ultra or Flydigi Apex 4. And if anyone here did try both of these controllers. Which of them have a better screen and in controller UI? Thanks
Was going to buy this in about 30 minutes had my mind set on it for about week, I think I’ll be heading towards another controller, was expecting a lot better quality for 200
I don’t use the buttons underneath the controller, can the buttons be disabled?
You can just choose not to map them to anything so when you click them nothing happens
If I use the orange or red rgb will it warm my hands?
only if its set to color cycle to keep the heat flowing
What is the best Xbox controller
Iv seen that you cannot program r3 or l3 to the back paddles that's a big L.
Ordered mine yesterday..ready to toss my elite series 2
MAD AS HECK! Just picked one up. paired with Xbox right away and seems to work. Put on charger said 72% charged and charging. It turned off and now won't turn on. AND middle of day and Turttle Beach says offices closed.
Did you do the firmware update? Cause I have no issues with mines. I use it on PC and my Xbox
@@angelbrace5962 I was going to do the firmware update but it had turned off before I got to it and won't work with it off.
Every time i see a cool pro controller for Xbox, pc, or ps4 i get a little bit sad that ps5 doesn't have these cool controllers and not at $200 minimum
So is this the new king of controllers as Turtle Beach state ?
gyro?
Good review as usual, T. One thing I like about my MS Elite 2 is how easy it is to use the D pad for pressing the diagonal contacts. Is it as easy on the Stealth Ultra? I ask, since it seems to have more of a typical 4-direction D pad. Also, how was the feel of the hall effect joysticks vs mechanical ones? Lastly, why do a lot of controllers have a 2-step trigger press instead of the 3 that the MS Elite has? Is it because most people don't use all 3 (which I do), or is it because it's just cheaper and easier to implement 2?
Your description of the weird sensation when pressing the buttons concerns me, as I prefer an instant response when pressing them.
Finally, what do you think what have been a more appropriate price for this controller? It looks interesting, but I think I'll hold off until the price drops. I would also like to see some long-term use assessments to see durability over time.
not as easy as the elite. its weird, kinda like double clicks when pressing it down.
I assume the 2 step trigger stops would be due to most using either full range or a single click
All the triggers and buttons have instant clickable switches on them they are magnetic with a fraction of de-press and the guy reviewing it obviously hasn't a clue when it comes to the deadzone settings on the thumbsticks as they are instant and react to rapid movement of anything you do in a game which makes games so much easier and faster to play which certainly makes a massive difference when playing shooting games especially online it gives you fractions of a second to beat your opponents in a game, It's a damn cool controller and definitely gives you the edge..
Is it worth the money.. well I'd say yes because it definitely gives you an advantage over other players.
I got mine yesterday and I agree with you it’s a great controller it’s just the cheap feel aspect which makes me doubt whether it’s worth £179.99 time will tell
I see what you saying about the press it’s like more soft lol
i just brought this control and i think price is a bit high but its good control light weight reason its called stealth i guess but i brought it cause it promised no anlog drift so we will see
Im also casual user but i think i would love it! Especially playing call of duty. Just bought it and now waiting for the premiere :)
I love the recon and I love my cloud, so that is a lot of money to pay for a controller
I need help calibrating sticks
