Really loved how well made and detailed this review is!
I wasnt there about getting it but this really convinced me. Especially since its on sale rn for like 45 rather than 60. Thank you for the review, its on its way to my house now.
I have super piece of kit. Thanks for the review and explaining the 🎮 features. There's no English instructions provided, in my case anyways. Great review.
Very detailed review. I just ordered mine after my original xbox 360 pc controller died, was looking for something similair and this looks great. I do kind of worry how those buttons on the bottom will feel, since i like to use a tight grip myself i worry to be constantly pressing them.
I actually think wired is better overall besides the hassle of a cord obviously. Theres less latency and obv no need to recharge which can be annoying at times.
I jus bought one not realizing these reviews even existed till jus right now guess I made a decent purchase!!
ive been searching for a review where they actually press the buttons for so long because i wanted to compare it to another controller with a tactile feel so thanks
So I am having trouble with this controller I just got It yesterday and I tried mapping the back right button as my jump and it’s not a option for me to map it at all is there a fix for this
Can you map the back buttons to specific keys on a keyboard or only to the other buttons on the controller?
Tip: If the Controller shuts down (PC users!), turn OFF the Turtle Recons power saving mode through Device Manager. Before that power saving was on, i always have to plug in the usb cable again.
Did that still turns off on my pc
i will try later
@@MouseHunteR77n Same I got tired of that BS and returned it.
This controller is cheaper than an Xbox series X/S controller in the UK
ive had it for about 3 weeks so far its been good
About half as cheap in the states as well
It shows too...
Is it more like a PS4 controller? I've just moved from PS4 to Xbox one s and really not liking the controller it's so clicky and noisy not nice and spongy to the touch like the PS4 but I don't wanna waste £130 on the razor or elite controllers and they feel the same
@@skinlesswalnut6259 I bet that there are other controls that can help more if u wanna feel like your are using a ps4 controller
Is it difficult to remap the bottom buttons quickly? I was waiting to see you explain the profiles a bit more in depth.
Remapping the buttons doesn't take long, but there are quite a few steps. Here's how to do it:
1.) enter profile mode (controller symbol)
2.) pick the profile you want to configure (1 - 4)
3.) press and hold "select" for 2s
4.) press the bottom button you want to configure
5.) press the button you want to assign
6.) press "select" again for 2s to save your assignment
@@ECPUz thank you so much! Seems like a steal of a good controller.
Thanks for the review. Was going through a couple of videos and yours was well put together. I just ordered one using your link to support. Hope you continue to do what you do--surprised you don't have more subscribers tbh. Keep up the good work.
How are the triggers? Does it goes all the way down?
my left stick has lost the springing feel and a very minor adjustment can cause it to move in any direction without control
can someone please tell me how do you reset this controller
Do kontrol freeks work using the controller cause some controllers can't fit it or it comes right off just wondering.
Good review man
Just got one and in the first week it stopped working with my Headset for some reason only one side of my headset works and my headset works fine with my other 2 remotes
Does it have to be a turtle beach headset or will it work with any other headsets
i bought this for riders republic on pc xD i love the white power touch to it !
Does anyone have a fix to the hissing audio (I use a rig 500 3.5mm headset) idk if it's the headset or the controller
I love the controller and the ability to adjust audio settings so fast but my only problem is how much it diminishes my mic. I have a Elite Atlas Aero headset and on the recon I nearly need to yell to get my mic to pick my voice up but on a separate original Xbox controller I turn mic monitoring all the way down and I could whisper and it would be picked up
Yeah just had mine get here in refunding bc of that
Feels small in hand. Might need some getting used to. The buttons on back get pressed by accident a lot. Again, might need some getting used to. The super human hearing isn't what it is on the stealth 600.
can i use any USBC with it or is it a specific cord ?
Can you PLEASE explain(to a first-time controller-user) how I can turn down sensitivity on the R-stick(camera-stick)???
I normally play on PC(key/mouse) and bought this, to be able to control/adjust the speed in 'Lawn Mowing Simulator' and now I can control the speed - but only, if I can manage to find the lawnmower!! - for now I got this new problem ..a oversensitive R-stick??!
For the life of me ..even the lightest touch of the R-stick, hurls me into warping-speed for the next galaxy ..at least it feels like that in my stomach!
No matter what I do(updating the controller software/hard-reset ect.) ..I just can't decrease, or normalize the sensitivity on R-stick, to sensible level??
Why my controller keeps disconnecting every 15 minutes almost?
Just got mine yesterday, #Worth
Will my galaxy kontrolfreeks work on this I use the low rise on the right ?
Question - I just recently purchased this controller for the Xbox Series S. When I power on the console the controller wont turn on until I unplug and plug back in. I cannot power the console on specifically using the controller. I'm concerned because if I have to unplug and plug back in everytime I feel the integrity of the controller input will fail. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Have you updated it yet?
Same problem....any help?
Great vid man
Thanks!
I can't get headsets to work on this on Series S...it works just fine on PC. Anybody have any suggestions?
stupid question, But i play rocket league where input delay matters. will the whole eq thing it has cause extra input delay over a regular Xbox one controller?
You probably already know this by now but no it doesn't.
wait so can i plug any headseat in the controller?
Get this controller stick drift after monds of use??
i don't think you can remap the back buttons to "any button" - pretty sure they can't be mapped to the menu buttons, the whole reason I was interested in a new controller :/
I have question . on an xbox does all audio go through this ok ? say if im watching netflix can i use this to pipe the audio into the headset ?
Yup. I actually have my headset plugged in my controller when just listening to music aswell. The EQ is actually quite nice on the Third setting or on Super human. Im quite liking it.
If u have stick drift with these Google recon controller stick drift. They actually have a diagnostic mode built into the controller that counters stick drift, not even the super expensive controllers have this feature
Thats dope! Just bought these
I can't hear the in game sounds is this normal i just got it
I’ve had my Recon Controller for a couple months now and it preformed really well. I loved the fact that I had extra controls and the button mapping is a cool way to change controls quickly. However I quickly ran into a big problem. The controller wouldn’t turn on the Xbox. The console is in a special case under my TV. (It’s locked in place and it’s hard to access the on/off button). So I can’t just turn on the Xbox with the button/controller. I found a little trick to unplug then replug the adapter to the Recon (which would turn on the console). Long story short this caused the controller to have connection problems and it eventually just stopped working. ):
i always turn the console on from the xbox anyway
@@lewis0705 “Were it so easy”
@@lewis0705 same
There is a firmware update for the controller that resolved this issue download it on your console and do the update
Can u turn off the mappable buttons ?
This is probably a better value than having a separate audio mixer/eq like a mixamp pro. I'm regretting all the complexity with my setup and the sound is only say 30% better than being plugged into my razer wolverine TE.
Idk if you touched on it, but how do the back buttons feel? That's like 65% of the reason why I'm looking for a controller like this. I got a series s a few days ago and I NEED back buttons haha. I've looked a lot into the pro fusion or whatever it's called, but how do these back buttons feel?
I'm right there with you. What game are you playing? I found a button layout that almost makes up for no back buttons (I still want a couple back buttons tho)
Does it have a fast response time for fps?
The controller is amazing I have it feels like no delay ngl
Does it have a fast response time for fps?
Would you recommend this controller over the elite series 2 or any other controller
Elite sucks ! Had 2 of them and they break so easy.
For $60 it's hard to beat unless you are against using a wired controller.
Do you need to use turtlebeach headsets or can you use others like astro?
It works on all headsets, but it works best on turtle beach headsets (obviously because they are the same brand)
That's was my question Ive got some A10's and was looking for a better alternative to the Xbox controller because they are just bad now
What headsets do you have to use for the controllers????
I have (2) Stealth 600 gen 2
And I have (1) TB Recon 50X
Any wired headset with a standard 3.5mm audio interface will work.
@@ECPUz okay thank you so much! Sounds like I'll be using my Turtle Beach Recon 50X
Wireless works too I’m using wireless but this controller got major drift after 3 months
@@georgegonzalez9089 thanks for that crucial information!!! 🙏🏼
Is this controller compatible with the series x?
1:02 “this is the original Xbox controller”
Me: uuh no.. **remembers the actual original Xbox duke controller**
ohhh man... I remember that thing too. That's gotta be 20 years old now.
@@ECPUz I have PTSD flashbacks of that thing

Idk I had this and it just kept turning off and on randomly and would make a loud ring on the headset
Can you use it with bluetooth on pc?
anyone know if this works with windows 11. cant imagine why not but thought id ask
I just bought the controller but I don't have their headset but I do have another kind of headset. But the problem is I can hear everything just fine but nobody can hear me when I have the mic plugged into the controller. Would you know why this is?
What headset do you have? If it has controls on it or it's cable to control the microphone then you need it unmuted
@@clawson32104 I have a Ziumier Gaming Headset. And it has controls on it and the microphone is unmuted
@@zackptacek143 hmm...no idea then. The microphone isn't muted on the Recon controller? Game and chat balance on the middle?
@@clawson32104 yep
So when you plug headphones into this sucker on PC do you get 192000hz or 44100hz? If I got 192 I'd buy it. I don't understand how anyone's saying that the sound really good if they're only doing 44100hz 🤣
Two months and the d pad started not to work and it cant be recalibrate
I already bought one but i want to connect to it to pc thats why im here lol. :)
Is there a buzzing sound while speaking in a party? I know wired controllers and wired headsets tend to have this problem.
That's what I'm thinking
No there isn't. The buzzing sound only happens when you are charging a low quality rechargeable battery pack on a controller. I got mine and there isn't any buzz in parties
Your mic could be the issue too
I've just bought this controller and honestly, I think it's amazing, seems so much more responsive than the standard Xbox controller, gives quicker reactions. I have already found a competitive improvement in some games
Agree. I just got mine in today. So far ive only played GTA V but the difference is quite massive coming from my old xbox 360 pc controller ( which was already about 10 years old ). The accuracy is on this controller is nothing but amazing,it does react much quicker to slight touches. The grip is great,the feel is great and the EQ for your headphones also sounds pretty good. So far im quite happy with this one.
Is it compatible now on Windows 11?
@@danteacdogjr.4900 Dont know why it shouldn;t be. Im on win 10,but see no reason why it wouldnt work on win 11.
How the mic sound with it? Is there any buzzing like PowerA xbox controller?
just got one, on sale $49 so i bought the 2 year replacement plan for $10. im not mad at that at all for $60
Can I use my non-gaming Sony $300.00 headphones (wired) with this controller just to hear the game audio? I don't play on-line. Awesome review buddy!!! You got me stoked for this thing!!!💪💪🙏🙏🙏🤙🤙🤙💯💯💯💯💯
hey man i am trying to play black ops on pc with my controller... do i have to download software in order for it to work ?
nope, it's just plug and play
Hey this might be a stupid question, but I’m currently using kontrol freeks on my Xbox controller at the moment and I was wondering if they’d be compatible for this controller
I’m wondering the same thing, can’t play without kontrol freeks anymore.
I thought xbox pads now have a thing that removes the delay, even though they are unwired?? Microsoft did a lot of work on reducing latency on wireless. So no need for wires
has the trigger stop?
For the people that got their hands hurt by the orginal series X controller and have this one. Is this good and do you advise it? I hear its more like the dualsense, which I would really love.
This controller is brilliant...... we kind of live in a world now where so many people bitch and moan about something when it comes too the gaming industry. I watched one review where the guy said it felt cheap because it was wired and light???? Firstly, the wire you get it massive! I mean it is long.
As for the weight, it is so light, I really like it.... but it doesn't feel cheap.
It has two extra paddles at the back which are fantastic for triggers in some shooter, as it feels a more natural position to be in.
But the real plus side too these is the audio.
If you already own a wired Turtlebeach headset and link it with this controller, the audio settings at your disposal are great.
You can either get a real deep crunchy bass.... or if you're like me and use these for shooters, then I would say for the price, there is no better controller out there for playing Call Of Duty and BF because you can adjust the audio to make the footsteps very clear.
I think they are worth every penny, and considering in the UK this controller is £5 cheaper than a standard Xbox controller, it really is a no brainer.
Why doesn't switch on automatically?
Mine keeps Turn off every time I play Destiny Warzone Cold War on PC
does it work wirelessly? im on a series x and I love my battery controller however I really love the look of this one should I get white or black one? most of my setup is white
My concern is paddle responsiveness. In apex you have to double a on zipline bounces and wall bounces.
Hmmmm
Apex trash

What's the risk of drift with these? I've been using PowerA's controllers and it seems they all start drifting on me in less than 6 months.
This has a 0.002 reset to middle compared to even the xbox elite which has bad stick drift has a 0.01-0.008 so it should take a lot longer for stick drift on this controller
@@HaveAGoodOlLaugh Well that's good. Although, my situation with PowerA's drifting was strange. You see, it wasn't the sticks that were drifting on me. It was the buttons themselves. Holding down the RT button would register polar north movement on the right stick which was super bizarre
@@filipinowhiteboy yeah that ain't right haha
@@filipinowhiteboy my controller done the exact same if you hold RT you'll move forward and if you held LT to aim it would trigger RT aswell absolute mess of a controller every single one I've bought I've had to return
@@MentalRetardsRUs Were those PowerA too?
How to stop R2 Trigger from sticking
Anyone know how to tone down the vibration
How is the headset sound quality and loudness when plugged into the controller?
It's quite good in my opinion. Quality will also depend on the headphone/headset you use.
It's actually about 1-2 decibels louder than plugged directly into the Xbox wireless controller
@@ECPUz I have the sennheiser gsp 600
The sound is really good and the mic monitor is awesome. You can adjust the mic monitor volume as well.
@@ECPUz hi, have you tried how it sounds connecting the official xbox headphones? i have them, along with Dolby Atmos, and the sound is good, but not as impressive as i expected.
I'm almost convinced to buy this controller. Thanks for your video, i liked it :)
I've never used Elite Controler, doesn't have a think that tightness the right stick to aim smoother all the time, I use $20 aim assist packs but hopefully won't need them still.
Dude how do you remap de buttona in the back omg 😡
i know i’m trying to do the same
Read the owners manual. I had issues at first until reading it.
Press mode till controller icon lights up
Press and hold select button for 2 seconds
Press paddle you want to map then press button you want on that paddle
Hit mode button once your done.
@@greygoose6715 how do you unmap?
I love that no ones first solution was to just read the fucking instructions 😂😂😂😂
I’m receiving mine today
nice!!
does the mic have a buzzing sound
Damn I was looking forward to hearing more about this controller but you lost me at the bumpers. I can’t use a Xbox controller without those iconic bumpers.
When i plug in my headset to the controller i hear constant buzzing, does anyone know a fix?
It's cos it's wired bro
It may be your headset. There isn't any buzz on mine
Found out what the trouble was? Did the headset also make noise connected to other devices? If so it's broken of course?
@@vesder819 of course, it could also be your xbox. A faulty USB cable could be a reason your mic buzzes its really common apparently
is it better that the older turtle beach recon controller?
Yes. Buy the 1975 version.
Just picked up the 70 with headset included for 50 bucks at gamestop!
Maybe I just don't know what the key difference between this and other controllers is maybe this is designed for pro players I don't know but I've used a lot of controllers in my life lol and I feel that the sensitivity on this controller Goes from 0 to a 100 with barely a touch on the joystick thumbstick and this makes it so that I'm just looking all over the place super fast when I'm trying to play Halo infinite. It's like if I move the thumbsticks a hair out a hair I'll be looking at full speed or moving at full speed in one direction or the other and I feel like it's not supposed to be that way. Sorry but I voice dictated this post.
Why doesn't my vibration work on it when connected to my PC? Anyone have a similar issue?
Ask your mother! She knows everything on vibrators. Noob.
If you wanted to change it couldn’t you just go in a game and remap the buttons?
Not for the back grip buttons, at least every game I've played doesn't show them in settings, maybe PC versions are more lenient but it's not a thing for console.
Hi mate currently watching the video awesome video , can this been linked up with the steel series artis 9x?
You can't use the sound features because it is an inline system.
@@peaj4812 what about if it’s wired up too it?
Is it worth buying it ?
Just bought this one for pc but struggling to set up for Warzone
Can u use Bluetooth head phone son it
Turtle Beach has the right idea about not making this controller wireless. Less lantacy and faster response time with cord. Only upgrade I like to see happen to this controller. All the buttons and triggers are mechanical that be nice upgrade.
I’m pretty sure the main reason for that is Microsoft having a Patent for all wireless controllers for Xbox. No 3rd party company that makes and designs controllers from scratch (eg not scuff) aren’t allowed to sell wireless controllers for xbox
@@avg4570 honestly I am good with it. Play alot online tournaments and I rather have good wired controller for a reasonable price and turtle 🐢 Beach answered it. Plus you pair it up with recon 500 headset and man that is big game changer for me.
Ya lo tengo 😍
me colaboras con algo?
como se sienten los LB/RB? como los botones del play o como los botones de los xbx?

Xbox Recon Controller kept turning off every little while I had mine since 17 th Oct I don't no if it was bad controller from out the box but did replacement so hopfuly next controller I receive is solid controller
If the Controller shuts down (Windows users), turn OFF the Turtle Recons power saving mode through Device Manager. Before that power saving was on, i always have to plug in the usb cable again.
Can i use it on ps4
Does this work with a wireless headset?
nope. you need a headset with a 3.5mm connector
You can still use the controller in general with a wireless headset but you won't have all the Audio functionality unless you plug a headset into it
You can use Bluetooth headsets and connect them to your console or pc
