Are you more of a docked player or handheld for Switch? Also, I just received the Warrior from NYXI, that might be a solid contender for if you are more "docked", stay tuned for that one! Cheers :) Edit: Thanks for seeing value in my content btw!
@@GameTechTalk I'm definitely more of a docked player. I do play handheld some but I use the Hori Pros when I do that. I have the switch pro controller for docked but just haven't ever been blown away by it. I'll definitely keep an eye out for the NYXI review and thanks
Finally, someone showed the rumble on these at 7:59 ! Thanks for that 👍 Which 3rd party controller would you rank higher in terms of rumble, though? Just curious
Well that depends, I think HD rumble is better even when translated from rotary motor rumble solutions. So if thinking rumble exclusively, I'd prioritize that. Right now, the NYXI Warrior is king and terms of features with HD rumble but it's also a completely different DNA. I think I'd recommend the GameSir Nova the most. It's not your most "feature-rich" controller but it's extremely versatile, has great feature set and offers HD rumble while retaining a very well balance of features, and it polls at 500hz wired, which is amazing. If you don't care for HD Rumble and just want a great rotary rumble experience, I'd go Apex 4. Keep in mind, both those suggestions won't work on Xbox though. If you mean specifically for Xbox, Microsoft's controller has the best rumble so far but the T4 Kaleid for Xbox that is releasing today has a lot of neat features for rumble (reviewing will be released in the next 24hrs) but it's also wired only. Lots of products mentioned here ahahah, if you have questions let me know. Also, if you make a purchase, I'd happily provide you with an affiliate link as it helps the channel. Cheers!
Dang, I had a very pleasant experience with this controller, it’s fair to say not that it pretty much is properly vanquished in my collection but I still hold great appreciation towards the product. I guess my tastes greatly differ from yours. Cheers!
Just got this yesterday its fricken amazing very lightweight and very durable also very snappy 5 star controller ive tried the gambit the elite stealth ultra is the best
While much like a regular Xbox controller, the dongle and controller also uses wifi band (most likely 2.4ghz), they don't necessarily use the same frequency. This is extremely likely to be what causes the issue you're having, radio interference. In a nutshell, until a manufacturer let's us manually change the bands and hertz frequency, these things can and will happen. My best advice, though an unfortunate one, would be to connect over bluetooth or wired, see if the problem persists and if it does, the hardware is at fault. If it stops, it means it's something in your environment causing radio interference. Unfortunately, if you live close to other people, it might be coming from them too. Otherwise, frequencies can be changed on like routers, wifi antennas on cellphones and computers, changing those could also help eliminate the problem completely but doing that is a process of its own. It's unlikely that this reply will clarify everything for you, I'd have to write a novel so my apologies but that's a place to start and also likely an explanation as to why you may not be able to fix that issue anytime soon. Good luck!
The D-pad isn’t good for fighting games and the wireless adapter is inconsistent. Definitely not the best controller for its gaming purposes. Turtle Beach needs to focus more on QC.
The more comments I had over time on this video, the more confused I got. It seems the experience with this product is extremely mitigated, quality control might indeed be at cause.
@@Gamerlingual I personally never had inconsistencies like you seem to have experienced, but I can surely try whatever you need. So are you talking about using on Xbox or PC? I’ll test wired and dongle, in my experience both were always fine. Here’s hoping the latest firmware don’t break it 😅
Testing on Steam Deck. It works fine on PC and Xbox when I used it minus the dropouts. I want to see if it works on Steam deck minus Bluetooth because I want to use haptic feedback. If it isn’t Steam deck compatible, I don’t see myself getting it. I like the controller, but the issues scare me for the price
That's interesting, it should work just fine under the Neptune protocol. However, it might have to do with the method of connection? Have you tried both the dongle and bluetooth method? If not, it's possible that it'll work through bluetooth only? Sorry I can't be of more help, hopefully this'll fix it for you.
@@jaybe337 Ahh you raise a fair point there. That's why I think it best to think of a Xbox Series or PC controller first, anything else is icing on the cake.
I have not had anything of sorts. It seems that some people have had their share of quality control issues but I couldn't tell you exactly what it was. It's been operating pretty much flawlessly for me, gamer communities seem very divided on this controller. Hopefully, it's a little software adjustment and that'll fix the issue. Good luck!
@GameTechTalk I actually really like it. It just that keeps happening when I playing cod and apex. And I don't know what to do. I might just have to return it and get a new one. It said I was up to date so idk.
@@rtgaming2169 Maybe adjusting the deadzone? Better yet, could it be these two games have anti “hair trigger” mechanism? That would be the first I heard of that, maybe worth trying before swapping it because the fact it’s just those two games seem to imply it’s not a defect but rather a selective behavior of the games themselves. Cheers, thanks for the update!
@GameTechTalk it's not that I have an elite series 2 and a custom controller they didn't do that. I just got it replaced so hopefully it fixes it. I'll let ya know.
Dang, that is terrible. How did that even happen? Puff of smoke and rip. Every other comment on this video makes me think I really got the luck of the draw because yeah... So sorry to hear, I hope it is under warranty!
@@GameTechTalk bro I play heavy daily and I finished like 3:30 am east coast time I put it on the charger made for it I go lay down with the wife a hour or so later I smell smoke and the Pitt bull was going off I run and all I see is smoke no actual fire just thick black smoke I grab it throw it in the sink run the water it was melted from the inside like somebody hacked my controller and I loved it was the best one I had yet and I had a lot don’t go off of my story cause I looked it up and it’s rare that what happened to me like 1 and 100,000,000 like that rare but all in all great controller I was mad in my first comment but to each it’s own 🫶🏼
@@KingDonLuciano That is crazy my guy! I can definitely tell you this, as much as I love the dock, I find that the "alignment" of the pogo pins with the "magnet" are not strong enough, if I had to guess, your controller sat in a way that it wasn't perfectly aligned. Maybe off by a millimeter or so, I'd seen that with mine and the dock, but the problem is when those pogo pins charge, they generate heat, absolutely normal too. Probably what happened is the current over compensated from the connection not being perfect causing the pins to get really hotter, it melted through the plastic and created concentrated heat vacuum on important components, causing the outcome you got... Lucky you caught it tbh cause indeed, if you had fallen asleep throughout the night, that could have been way way worst. Turtle Beach better replace that controller and even throw a goodie in there, that's wild! Thanks for the info, I'll be extra careful when I sit mine.
@@GameTechTalk yea by dumb ass electrician brother told me the same thing that the controller wasn’t placed properly on the docket and that’s why it didn’t actually go into flams and again what happened to me was so dam rare like a million to one cause I looked all over for videos of what I went threw and brother I found nothing so basically it was one of a kind and I was the 1 out of a million hops your getting laughs off this cause I’m rolling on a river but I’m getting a new one cause hands down best controller I ever owned and I’m 57 been playing Call of duty since 2000 when it first dropped. ❤️🫡
Nah TB is garbage m..they have mo.quality control and sell cheaply made products ... after buying 2 300.00 headsets both broke on the bands ....I've had cheaper ones last years .... they are garbage
I gotta say, I'm shocked by your comment. I've owned every Xbox, but they've been collecting dust since the One. (sorry, just honest) I look at this controller as a PC guy and TB is not a brand I was familiar with. These are strong claims you have, I'll study them further. Thanks.
That's a tough question. If looking at polling rate alone, the Apex 4 has the upper hand. If looking for the customizable most controller, I'd also say the Apex 4 has the upper hand. When talking just the best amount of unique features? The Turtle Beach is a controller that still remains one I frequently revisit because it is really really good. These days, I like my TB a bit more if I'm being honest.
From a hardware perspective? I agree. But the Series 2 does not have anywhere near the features that this one has, it all comes down to what's important to who but the Stealth Ultra is definitely a groundbreaking product in its own right.
I returned my elite series 2 for this controller since after only 2 months of use the elite started drifting. Also the elite series 2 has 8 milliseconds of input delay and the stealth ultra has 3 milliseconds of delay and the elite series 2 has a ginormous deadzone
I just ordered one based on your review, it should be here tomorrow. Now just need to pick a go to controller for my Switch
Are you more of a docked player or handheld for Switch? Also, I just received the Warrior from NYXI, that might be a solid contender for if you are more "docked", stay tuned for that one! Cheers :)

Yup, I still use mine weekly because it has some pretty nice aspects to it.
