The Brutal Truth About The Stealth Ultra Xbox Controller

After almost 2 months whippin' the sticks and reading the comments of the controller Stallions/ettes; I have gathered some owner's experiences and want to touch on a few topics such as battery life and out of the box QC.

I appreciate all your hard work and diligence when it comes to all these controllers. You could have left it at the first review, or the follow up. But you continue to deliver, and update through the life of the controller. Where was I? Oh yeah, thank you!

[@frankmoralesiii6238]

Thanks for this review. Brutally honest. We need that. I just returned my controller today for a replacement. Major connectivity issues. I use this controller and my Audeze Maxwell and I do think the dongles compete against each other. Thanks again for your great videos. Keep it up.

This is the kind of video I've been looking for. Thanks! No bias. Just pure experience.

[@panda51829able]

I spent 3 hours trying to get this controller to connect. I prefer wired connection and couldn’t get it to connect wired. Once it finally connect it was alright. The mechanical buttons are satisfying as well as the hall sticks, but I ended up going back to the Victrix Gambit.

[@jimmyj907]

Great follow up! I am one who just started having left bumper issues where it sometimes it's non responsive or clicks multiple times as if it's lagging. Very frustrating being mechanical. I'm in the process of contacting turtle beach via their email form for the warranty repair. Aside from that no other issues thus far.

[@JoshM9297x]

Yup, the not turning on after holding the X button AND plugging it in is what made me return it. I also hated the “click through” feel of the DPad.

[@auroraflash]

Not returned yet, but same here. Just broke down after my TV powered off the console. Gotta admit this thing felt hilariously cheap for 200 bucks.

I’m shocked you didn’t mention the anti-friction rings actually causing friction, because they are not smooth or have quality control issues where they wear a groove into the sticks. I have this same issue on my Gamesir SE

I only have to complaints about this when u use the grips and you try to press the button with the two squares on it you move your stick to and sometimes takes a while for Xbox to turn on after u turn on controller apart from that still 10/10

[@syiccal]

I've had this controller for a while now, playing every day for several hours and had no issues, it's plugged into my Xbox via a rear usb, I've had no disconnections or any if the issues ppl have had. I have slightly greased the sticks/friction rings to avoid that issue and so far it's been perfect. Edit/update,, returned due to random extreme stick drift spinning my camera aroudn randomly, calibration did not fix this..returned the controller. Unsure if this was software or hardware related

[@indysrebel5181]

I had numerous issues with the Scuff Envision so I returned it and got this controller. I don’t regret it at all and it has been near perfect on PC. Only thing I don’t like is the select button and having to reach over the left thumb stick to hit it.

[@alextackett8631]

Hey bud just wanted to say thanks for all the controller reviews. Much appreciated. And also; I know this doesn't have anything to do with this video but wanted your opinion on what you think is the best and fastest controller i could get: the Victrix Gambit, Thrustmaster Eswap Pro, Razer V2 Chroma, or the Gamesir G7 SE. Do you know which is fastest and your opinion on best overall controller. Thanks

[@acerock013]

when this controller first came out i went to Amazon to order it but the Amazon reviews were speaking directly to all of these QC issues so i held off. glad i did.

[@ericwhitlow1957]

Is there a difference between using the dongle and using it wired on pc? is the latency huge or noticeable?

[@DeathWish210]

Good day, love the videos! Need some help lol. I checked my thumb stick circularity yesterday. That is something I havent done since I bought it. I got mine right before Christmas. My circularity was at around 1.2%. Last night both are even at 13.1%. With red x shaped region on gamepad tester. Is that wear and tear? What is your thoughts? I play with a precision ring on the right stick and a KF. I don't understand how they are both evenly at 13.1%

[@vergil1616]

Hey i bought the controller because of your review like i said in your first video but iv only had the dongle not connect once but what im trying to say is i still love the controller its still my favorite game pad but i am glad you brought to light what to be aware of.

Glad to see you still here watching Vergil, have a good day buddy

[@luigiesposito2481]

hi friend as always beautiful video details, I bought this controller to use it on the PC, aesthetically beautiful, light, and the best for analogue ones, you can manage it much better in anti-recoil situations, I found a some problems the PC software is buggy, then I connect the wired Astro headphones via 3.5mm Jack, from the controller display when you go to audio mix, and you want to raise the game audio more and lower the voice chat does not respond at the command, the only thing that can be managed is the audio in general, then as soon as you place the controller in the charging base with the headphones always connected, it gets wet and the microphone of the headphones no longer makes it work, I have to Turn your PC off and on again. Have you encountered the same problems as far as you know? Thanks in advance ​@@GamerHeavenOfficial

[@luigiesposito2481]

😅I also have dual sense edge, scuf envision pro and each of them has a pro and a con, I personally think the scuf envision pro is more valid for PC, what do you think? ps: I'm Italian if you can write to me in Italian I would be grateful, otherwise I'll have to go and translate 😂​@@GamerHeavenOfficial

[@user-gg9rz9vh5h]

When it comes to PC, is it still losing lots of connection. Does the dongle work on PC or also just bad. Or should i just go with the flydigi Apex 4?

[@SenshinNL]

I have a low hissing noise tru the 3.5mm headset, when using wireless, you hear when scrolling tru the xbox menu as example, or calm gaming space, its really annoying, when i used it wired the sound is mostly fine. Is my unit faulty or?

[@J0rdan912]

Probably interference from a display and it's power, in addition to usual problems - crappy audio ic and 3.5 jacks in controllers.

[@abelke]

Owned mine for a month before returning. The left stick grind became noticeable after a day or two of usage and was just too annoying. The software being so buggy (random wired disconnects) was also just a pain. Might give it another try if they fix these issues

I had the same issue and had to also return it.

I've been having a problem with my aim spinning out of control. I had to turn up the dead zone for it not to happen as often. I recently started having another problem where my gun will stop shooting and start again. I was also never able to get my phone to connect and send notifications.

[@linkandbrash3222]

Ok so the problem with the dongle is any dongle which is 2.4ghz they’ll confuse each other like if you’re using the headset and the controller which could disconnect the headset and controller might just keep the headset working might keep the controller working they’re too close together

[@dheadhunter7089]

What is the best affordable controller in your opinion?

[@Admiral_X999]

Personally just two days after getting it (Released in Australia two days ago), my only issue I had so far was thumbstick and trigger registration being busted. But after a few board resets and recalibrations, it works perfectly fine. Nothing else so far, but if that's literally all I get, then I'm in a rare camp in which mine is not even majorly faulty. Kudos to TB from me for making resetting the board easy to do.

[@user-ni1zd8fy5u]

I have been going down a rabbit hole trying to find the best paddle or button design since i hate using the Xbox series 2 controller cause the paddle design sucks (currently trying to get used to it after years of refusing). No question that the PlayStation dual sense edge is the best paddle design to date but is the battle beaver and the hyper controllers the best button design for Xbox so far?

[@user-fq2lz8tg6q]

Would you still pick this over an elite 2? Nearly 80 Australia more is a lot of dollars. I hate nothing more than a controller disconnectong mid game.

[@gordonw1]

Bought it, used it for a day. I use a wired headset and for some reason, it made my mic terribly quiet. The handles were also to thin for my preferences. Went back to my elite series 2 and will continue to use those until a elite series 3 comes out.

I just picked up the Stealth and the + button location is a killer. I accidentally brushed the + button and it left me standing still to get killed in game.

Been using this controller on pc only. When I first got it - it would not connect wirelessly at all only hardwired. After 2 days of trying I powered the laptop and finally connected wirelessly. Then on the app I’m running into the issue of the controller not updating. Most recent when charging the controller with usb connected (yes I play while it’s being charged) if I barely tap on the usb the controller will shut off, then have to hold the Xbox button to turn it back on. Also I will lose connection to the controller randomly when I’m using wireless. Still trying to figure out how to update the controller.

I got mine at launch everything was fine then all of a sudden my R3 button started clicking off the slightest motion which is a problem since I play COD 95% of the time so I'm constantly trying to melee in the middle of gun fights. I've never dropped it. so I thought it might have been user error, went back to my elite 2 and no meleeing in the middle of fights but now stick drift is back and I prefer the mouse click feel of the SU controller

[@Kris-el9sc]

I'm really digging these post review thoughts. Like a lot of products in life, you could love something when you first get it, but as you use it more you can learn to either dislike it or downright hate it; especially with game controllers that are known for having bad long-term reliability a lot of the time unfortunately. As far as the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra, not to sound snobby, but I would never buy a custom or pro controller at this point that doesn't have gyro. It really is a game-changer for FPS.

[@davinshapka3211]

I'm on my 2nd controller. Right-bumper became sticky then actuated the right-trigger when pressed (up to 50% in the calibration app), so a mechanical fault. TB was good about sending me a new one, but now the left-bumper has started to not register some of the time, despite still clicking. I can see another return on the horizon. A shame because I like the controller.

What you describe about the dongle being better at the front vs back and worse if others are plugged in sound like simple range and interference issues. The console is blocking the signal when at the rear, and other dongles compete for 2.4ghz airtime. I've had the same issues with 2 Turtle Beach 700P headsets. Terrible range at times.. not even 5ft in some cases.

[@brandondale1600]

Even plugged directly into my pc, there seems to be issues where I’ll get more input lag if I have a headset also plugged into the controller. The dongle also has terrible connectivity. Even plugged into a usb port on top of my pc (sits on the floor right under my desk) it seems to hold a connection but will sometimes not make correct movements based on button clicks or thumb stick movements. They also haven’t updated the firmware since I believe January, so 5ish months ago. I think all of the fixes can be made just by firmware updates and software fixes. Bluetooth connectivity is also an issue for me.

[@Mrmerz]

I have 2 of these controllers and I do love them the hall effect sticks are amazing they feel very smooth when playing FPS games. I haven't had any disconnect issues with either of them, but on both controllers the right triggers have broke off after only playing with them for 30 days. Turtle beach customer service has been great and I have received replacements for them since they offer a 1 year 5 million clicks on all the buttons. But I feel the like these trigger locks are going to be a issue. All I play is FPS games and never unlock the trigger locks, but for some reason these trigger locks seem to fail and break causing you to loose the right trigger over time. If you have one of these controllers the design on the triggers has this sharp curve towards the end of the trigger and when pressing these triggers down with the trigger locks locked they aren't flush and have a tendency to go more to the right for the right trigger and left to the left trigger because of the sharp design curve of the triggers at the bottom... All in all amazing controller response time is unbeatable feels great in your hands.

[@devast8r3436]

(Under 3 months)...there website even says if you game 8 hours a day it will only last 2 months! Which i did not see.I am fewming for such an expensive controller... and i've just ordered this stealth ultra and now see people are having problems with that too... and don't know if i should cancel my order...?

[@andrewfloresta7102]

Maybe I'll buy bongos as my next controller gotta replace an elite series 2 grips comming off one of the back paddles sometimes works and nothing seems good

[@darrenstrathdee7425]

Had this for a week now. Seen every problem mentioned. The biggest issue was that i was playing warzone and couldnt hit my shots. Too far left too far right. Figured out why. I had my headset 3.5 jack attached via headset. As soon as i removed it the controller become accurate again. Can only put this down to latency or some bug. I normally play on 6/6 sense but even put down to 3/3 and was still a noob.

Some of these issues you mention at the 4:00 section were just fixed in the most recent firmware update.

[@RapidDemonF1]

Had mine pretty much since launch. I have some drift on the sticks, although nowhere near as bad as my Elites, it’s there. The D pad is failing, the button presses sometimes don’t register and it loses connection occasionally. It seems Turtle beach have already disowned it as it hasn’t had an update in 4 months. I still prefer it to an elite though, however it’s a £$99 controller at best.

Can you do a nagashock controller review too

[@rufinomartin30]

This thing tends to disconnect from my Xbox like once a week and my wired headset works like shit only plugged into this controller... Makes me sad since I spent 200 hundy on it .

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

I have similar issues

[@therkopunisher8357]

Somebody please help me. I am based in eastern europe. I would like to buy some kind of a „pro” controller. Primarilly for playing COD. I wanna play wired. Money is not an issue and I would like to feel that „pro” aspect of play event though I’m gonna play on Xbox Series X (144hz screen). Please advise me on which pro controller should I choose?

[@GraveMemories]

Controller modz uk does a decent job for a decent price and they post for free if you live in the uk Look up some reviews and see if theyre worth your while

It doesn't have gyro might be a requirement for being an official licensed controller since I never see that feature on any 3rd party licensed controller that I know. Having said that, I didn't check every controller that I know, just some controller from Gamesir and 8bitdo. What is also kinda annoying which might be tied with the license thing is the fact that I have Gamesir T4K that has 3.5mm audio jack but it doesn't work in X-input mode! I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work because of the licensing thing. FYI, the 3.5mm jack does work when connected to the PC with other than X-input mode.

Can't say I've accidentally hit the screen control button but I can see how it could happen, my biggest actual issue is the Select button - especially with caps on the sticks I find muscle memory tapping it I always end up hitting the stick, immersion breaking having to consciously tap it directly for map menu etc After that, I question longevity of the sticks on the anti friction rings which after a few hours use feel no better than a worn standard controller (esp when comparing to the slick elite feel) Contrary to your update issues on console app, I actually found the PC app very finicky but Xbox seems to work quite well. All in all, loving the hall effect and mechanical buttons but I dare say the market is still in need of that holy grail of controllers this one is a solid shot, the best attempt yet infact but isn't quite it. Maybe the elite series 3 will be the one, if it doesn't use hall effects and mechanical switches however I'll certainly be awaiting the Stealth Ultra 2.

[@Bigjerm734]

I’ve been through 2 scuff instinct pros ,3 elites series 2 controllers which I found that the Xbox series elite 2 controllers have about a six month to a year shelflife basically stick drift with them, four months and the scuffs with the removable plate. The buttons start to stick fast. I also owned a fusion pro to power a spectrum big big won I’ve tried so many different controllers I’m done paying two to $300 for these premium controllers that don’t even offer anti-drift or guaranteeing 1000 Hz pulling rate as of right now on PC I’m rocking the game sr se Inside of the software you got your thousand hertz update without having a overclock on X input. Also it has Hall effect analog sticks hands-down right now in my opinion that is the best controller on the market and it only cost $44.

[@kenzilbaptiste2519]

The power thing is a series x issue .. I say this because my mix amp tr always disconnects over and over daily ...

[@asherley]

Just bought this, right trigger wasn’t registering, tried to calibrate on the controller but still wasn’t registering, tried the app to calibrate and still wasn’t registering, tried factory reset and still nothing… wish an elite 3 would just be released!

[@Awakeonuwu]

Later this year, supposedly, this will happen. Hopefully!

[@goku01899]

Turtle Beach released firmware updates for the controller and transceiver on the Jan 24th to address the disconnectivity issues. Hopefully it's better now.

[@garrettstrutz7421]

I have 0 disconnect issues

[@MrThefatheroftheyear]

It feels like he’s nitpicking here, it’s a solid controller and leagues better than the Microsoft’s own elite. And didn’t he just complain about it having its own dongle that has a FASTER input, that is to say much less input lag, than the Xbox wireless even has? Odd. Seems like he’s determined to tear this controller down. It’s a monster option IMO compared to what’s available.

Why would they respond the reception has been overwhelmingly positive​@@cakerer

[@allansm66]

I really enjoy this conteoller.... And just yesterday it simply refused to turn on. Filed a warranty claim. Probably be weeks till they fix or send another.

Dang I’m really sorry to hear that Alan

[@tylerj1425]

I’m a pretty casual gamer now a days with my job and I still manage to burn through Controllers regularly due to stick drift so I’m only looking into “Pro” controllers to try and escape the continuous annoying circle that I’m in. I was and still am surprised how fixing the stick drift issue isn’t considered one of the staples of these high price controllers and how everyone is ok paying more money for a few fancy buttons and different color schemes. Seems to me like fixing the stick drift issue so buying a new controller every few months (regardless of price) should be higher on everyone’s list, would at least make the $200 price tag more worth the investment. Found this channel looking into the Turtle Beach cause of the better joysticks. Watched the controller show down and was pretty much sold on it… then I found this video and my fears were immediately confirmed. I have a pair of their stealth 700 headsets and had to warranty them 3 times in as many months for connectivity issues with the dongle and the app. Now on my 4th pair and a little over a year in everything seems to be working fine (fingers crossed) but the head piece adjustment is getting a little loose. Was wondering how the connectivity of this controller would be and how it would work with another dongle hanging out of the Xbox and I guess the answer is “not great” I’ll either end up with controller issue or it’ll bring back issues with my headset that’s now out of warranty. After looking into this maybe it’s time we consider Turtle Beach is not the great company it once was. At least maybe not in my eyes. Seems like all their products lately are having the same type of issues with breaking down fast or not connecting. I know this is a longer post and I could go on on how disappointed I am in the lack of effort companies seem to be putting into fixing issues that kill controllers in their “pro” models in what’s seems more like a money grab by flashing bells and whistles in front of us than anything else but maybe that’s a post for somewhere else

[@WaywardTraveler77]

i knew this video was coming because I had these same issues and had to RMA mine. I loved it but damn.

[@KainOfNosgoth]

Mine arrived with half the LCD screen washed off if you increase brightness. Faulty LCD screen. I expected it to connect to xbox pc dongle, it didn't. It's comfortable in hand, but I returned it due to the faulty screen. The app is awful. Very weak system

[@wittaq9352]

OMG Thank you. this saved me 200 bucks.
