Turtle Beach Recon Controller Review: Take wired Xbox headsets to the next level

[@ajavon00]

Finally someone shows the button sound comparisons. Im looking for a less noisy/clicky controller

[@demarcoadkins]

Thanks for a great review on this controller! I would be using this controller for my Xbox One! and some of the features were really helpful, I tend to play a lot of fighting games so the joysticks and the keypad are really good! I love how the keypad has extra layers on them sidestepping for fighting games would be a lot easier with this, I also like how you went into detail about the controllers features, keep up the good work man.

[@duckseatbread104]

It also has a pretty beefy amp inside. You can drive some pretty impressive cans with it

[@coolbeans7349]

its down to $40 now i think i might buy it reading the reviews and seeing this video i think solidified my purchase

[@exverze-noobz8457]

From Amazon?

[@ibrahimmujahed8000]

Pretty nice controller, just got it for pc gaming (forza and fifa), comfy and has lots of options, very versatile and very strong for its fitness for purpose

[@frozen_potato6957]

Hey, how is the controller doing after a year

[@ibrahimmujahed8000]

@@frozen_potato6957 good, only the wire is wearing out, but still works well. The only thing is the left trigger got a wider range of deadzone

[@Exotisches]

@@ibrahimmujahed8000how’s it doing 2 years later?

[@ibrahimmujahed8000]

@@Exotisches the deadzone is slightly off, and the original wire ripped, but still all good

[@nathanlester9985]

The trigger rumblers are most definitely noticable while playing Horizon 5..

[@michaelthompson9798]

Thanks for the great review .... just got myself the white model, here in Australia (AUD) for roughly $26 USD including local taxes and FREE postage from Amazon Australia. Looking forward to getting it after watching this review. Cheers 9to5Toys :D

[@CalebPilarowski-ox9iz]

How the fuck did u get it that cheap 😭 I gotta know where u bought it from

[@righardvanniekerk7434]

Owned 2 of these remotes. They all seem to have the same issue. Left trigger takes on attributes of the right trigger. You aim using the left trigger, and without pressing the right trigger, it fires. You can not fix it, even by assigning the left tigger attributes to back buttons. Returned it and bought a Gamesir 7se.

[@rogeliosanchez5692]

I just bought one on sale for 49.99 and it's pretty bulky. The bumpers are so different than the regular controller bumpers. The noise is nice but I'd rather have comfortability.

[@brendonjacobs7839]

Nice video. What do you think of the React- R version? Has less features though

[@Millqvistaren]

Gonna replace my original because of drifting. How is the quality of the Turtle Beach? :)

[@TJV83]

Not a sponsor, but if you can spend a little bit more then get a Power A Fusion Pro 2, Xbox already has a equalizer app

[@LegendaryMaoMao20]

This is really interesting, I think my cousin will check them out :D but anyway, I hope you'll review the Anker Nebula Solar Portable soon :)

[@xmasherx6915]

Great at 1st with loads of features but after only 1 month I have a wobbly left stick that's drifts everywhere...it seems turtle beach just use cheap crap plastic parts inside their controllers as it happens so much on their new controllers. I used to love this turtle beach controller but not anymore 😡

[@jaysoegaard]

Wow hard work great job man

[@navyvet05]

It’s an alright controller but the thumbsticks ruin it for me. They don’t have enough tension to them.

[@unholystrike84]

I like it but like he said bumbers are mushy. The regular Xbox controller has better bumbers. I hope they fix that with the next version.

[@iwbmo]

i use this for dolphin and got it from my dad so ia mwatching this video to try and see if one of the special buttons is why it randomly stops working idk

[@LugiaGuy]

I got stick drift on both of my thumbsticks on this controller after a few months.

[@Barbariandisks]

Is there a xbox one version of this controller? Can't afford the X/S yet

[@themostsvgegaming6862]

It works with Xbox one

[@christwarrior8]

The fact that it doesn’t have trigger locks and won’t work with wireless headsets, kills it for me. Don’t really want my headset and controller plugged in. They could of left a lot of the other stuff off, and added wireless headset functionality, extra paddles, and trigger locks.

[@suprhero1]

Everything you said you hate about this controller is was made for that purpose so that definitely is not your controller 🤣🤣

[@finnconnolly1]

U can still use a wireless headset on it you just won't be able to control audio on controller or use super hearing.

[@christwarrior8]

@@finnconnolly1 What good does that do, if you can't use all the features? That's just my two cents.

[@christwarrior8]

@@suprhero1 That's why I didn't purchase it. I'm not saying it is a bad controller. I never said I hated it. I just prefer certain features on my controllers. I just want others to know that it doesn't truly support wireless headsets, and that it doesn't have trigger locks. These features are important to some people. Mainly my comment was meant to be a way for someone to make an informed decision about purchasing this controller. If you don't need these features or don't prefer them that's fine.

[@RJWaynerium]

Wireless headsets connect to the Xbox, not the controller.

[@jaxxsc]

Quick question. I use this controller on PC and it seems that the controller itself switches off if either not used for a while or if the PC enters sleep mode and is then switched back on. The only way i could tell to switch it back on is by disconnecting the USB at either end and replugging it. Is there a fix to this as i don't want unnecessary wear on the cable?

[@lov.2.g]

i bought just now which was on sale for 44.90.....hope it be good since i wanted a wired one for the 3.5mm razer v2 pro headset

[@Direalest]

How is it so far?

[@RE4L72]

How do the thumb sticks feel?

[@voicelessoni6665]

Would the pro aim be considered cheating??

[@Shit_Harington]

When I used it...it felt like cheating. But it also threw me off a whole lot too

[@myvans4]

If you plug headphones into the jack on this controller does the sound get cut from external speakers and into the headphones?

[@johnsontylu]

Yes, it does.

[@notoriousdabber7108]

I bought this, its a nice controller but absolutely get the warranty. I am on my third controller in about 1 in a half years. My right analog keeps getting very bad stick drift, same thing has happened two times now. Im almost expecting it to happen again but oh well. Can you explain to me what the icon to the right of the glowing controller icon is? the circle with the aim on it? what is that another mode?

[@jamdaddy4181]

I understand that this controller doesn't have a dead zone on the sticks, so you could try to adjust the dead zone in the game options of the game you are playing, might fix the 'drift' problem.

[@richardmorales4645]

How do the thumbsticks feel vs the official series x controller?

[@navyvet05]

They suck, not enough tension to them. I had a hard time being accurate with them.

[@pavelslama5543]

Nice controller. Anyone knows if the USB-C is reliable? It looks really small for something that´s supposed to move.

[@bigcut695]

Yea its fine takes some force to push in at first

[@bogan8460]

Can I make one of the buttons on the back my b button like a elite controller?

[@9to5toys]

Yup!

[@kaakop4]

honestly i just bought this one cuz i needed an xbox controller for my pc and it was the cheapest one lol

[@TJV83]

No adjustable trigger stops??? Who’s the casual that designed these???

[@chriscannon4262]

I'll have to let you know my thoughts on it soon, I just got it on sale for $49 and I had a Gift card for $42 so with free prime shipping it'll cost $7 No doubt I'll get my moneys worth/ From the look of this review

[@Muffinracker]

Well whats it like?

[@chriscannon4262]

@@Muffinracker Pretty nice! I really like it

[@EzMoney95]

Can they power the beyerdynamic 990 250ohm

[@ultrapranks4533]

Does it work with headsets from other brands besides turtle beach? I have a hyperx cloud 2 headset and i wanna try this it with

[@Joe_Diggy]

At 0:47 he says it works with any headset that’s plugged in.

[@wizzotizzo]

It will likely work with your hyperx if you have a 3.5mm cable.

[@IGOBYTHENAMELOVE]

So what happens if you put superhuman hearing setting on the header separate then on the controller?

[@Eli-zl2tn]

Hi, thank you for the review very helpful , can you provide the mount you are using for the HyperX SoloCast? does not look like the stock included one. thanks!

[@Andreas-qu9rz]

Windows 7 compatibility?

[@strayblackcatsmeow]

Win 10 drivers

[@JokersArmy01]

NOT for MW2 2022. Personally I don’t like the controller. It felt so slow and unresponsive. The sound portion of it was okay. I could barely hear footsteps if at all. It’s function as a controller it’s too slow for me. The triggers, bumper buttons and all of the others almost felt like a regular controller. The texture on the grips I could barely feel them nor did it serve a purpose for me. I have tough skin.

[@raindropwalka]

Ill beat you with this controller flat on. Especially MW2

[@About36Greekss]

Honestly felt the same way at first but a lot of it is in your head and comparing it to the standard Xbox controller .. the only noticeable difference for me is the bumpers but even that I got used to after a week or two

[@coatsyboi125]

What a load of sh** this controller is “micro cooling technology” it’s a bit of rubber lol

[@IxRaijinI]

got this controller today, literally no sound

[@dubistheonlysolution]

What?? 😅

[@IxRaijinI]

got it working, had to reset the controller

[@itheeirishguy]

Trigger stops make a controller. These don't have trigger stops.

[@nickk1052]

Probably the worst controller I’ve ever tried lmfao. Thing aims on its own

[@navyvet05]

The audio is the only good thing about it, but yea everything else sucks.

[@TheDESTROYRR95]

Only thing that sucks is that it’s wired

Benefits from that is no latency

WARNING! Don't buy this POS controller if you intend to use it on pc, in less than a week it will disconnect while in the middle of a game, this happens almost every 5 - 15 mins even if you try to reconnect the usb c cable, stay far away from this shit, even my 20 dollar chinese controller I bought on amazon has lasted longer than this crappy shit! look it up on google you will see so many people having this issue.

[@strayblackcatsmeow]

Need to fix your windows settings. I use my recon on PC with Steam games. Windows 10 on 6 core AMD laptop and no problems at all. I also use the recon 200 and recon 500 if I forget to charge the 200. Just bought a spare recon controller as they are now replacing it with a wireless version. Great controller.

[@Matstarx25]

It will go to shit like any other 3rd party controller within 2 months of use. It's the business strategy, microsoft gets to make the controller that can actually last.
