You Need One Of These If You Play On Controller | Turtle Beach Recon Controller Review

Great controller, getting lot's of Perfects in Halo infinite! compared to my old controller!

how are the back buttons is it comfortable?

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 😡

[@christwarrior8]

Fact that it doesn’t have trigger locks and can’t be used with a wireless headset kills it for me. They could have left off some of the other gimmicky features, and added trigger locks and wireless headset connectivity.

[@Bakamatsu-GojiFanArchive]

I just add a dot of hot glue on the triggers to simulate trigger lock. Sure it's DIY but after doing that it's a perfect controller

[@_fireVFX]

it would be better without the back paddles I don't mind the left paddle but the right paddle is really annoying to play with because it makes me feel uncomfortable

[@art3misarrow863]

I live all of the features but ANY static and mine disconnects from my Xbox. Literally if someone walks into my room shuffling their feet and somehow it affects my controller.

[@Jacqie]

That is weird, have you tried taking it back to see if it is faulty maybe?

[@leyamnaim8659]

It's a bit of a bummer that the two additional buttons are only usable after remapping them and not as stand alone buttons, but other than that, that's a fine controller

[@emasaccount4158]

Wait. So I can't connect my wireless headset to my Xbox?

[@wizzotizzo]

@@emasaccount4158 You can connect a wireless headset to Xbox, but it has to be certified for it because it connects with a special connection, not bluetooth

[@dave93x]

If you plan on using this controller to talk to people through (through the headphone jack) then look for another controller or buy this and then buy a wireless headset. I only use the audio features on this when gaming alone and with my headset plugged directly into it.

[@jamesd9337]

Not a bad controller at all. Had mine a few weeks now and just searching vids to see what others are saying about it. Can't see it lasting too long thou as it's been dropped a few times and see alot of mentions about the sticks giving up. Time will tell. Great video. 👍

Hows your controller holding up? and is it durable when taking good care of it?

[@TRV.]

Mine keeps getting BAD stick drift

[@Jacqie]

How old is it?

[@AvErLo]

Mine is 3 weeks old and small stick drift

[@maverickalkire]

Is there any sick delay, I’m going to grab this until I get another elite 2

[@theeirishguy565]

Just going to save up for another elite 2 controller. It's the best controller if used correctly. If you switch from Forza to cod I noticed is very bad for the controller. Let's say you do danger signs on forza you are putting pressure on the left stick then go back to cod. Your controller will be broken before u know it is. Buy the elite 2 and use it wisely.

[@dezznutz8692]

yeah but see that’s literally what the controller’s are made for. if they can’t handle going from one game’s physic’s to another then i’m sorry to say but that’s not a good controller, my brother had the same one and the joystick did pretty much what you said. the fact that that is actually a thing just proves that it’s not a good controller.

[@theeirishguy565]

@@dezznutz8692 depends where it's bought from. I usually buy it off a website where u can pay it back in increments but they actually buy the controller from China. Not good, it could last 3 months it could last 1 year. If you buy it from xbox themselves it'll last 2 to 3 years.

[@cujoman187]

Anyone that thinks the Elite controllers are any good at all obviously they don't really play all that much or actually use them for a lot of hours at a time. I've personally had the Elite 1 and after two months of very light use (only used it for racing games on my PC which I didn't play often at all cause I played FPS with keyboard and mouse 95% of the time) it of course developed a drift issue along with after 9 months of actual hard use (PUBG on Xbox) when I picked up the controller one day the left bumper button just fell out of it along with the A and X buttons started to really act up as well and I'm very anal when it comes to my electronics I'm no damn kid who throws their controller or smashes it on the floor cause I'm mad someone killed me I'm an adult who takes care of their shit so I joined the class action lawsuit against them long story short the judge decided it wouldn't be handled as a class action lawsuit so our lawyer offered to handle each case individually so of course I signed up for that. After over 2 years they finally decided to give us new Elite Series 2's for free. I sold mine to my buddy without even opening the box. Now on to my buddies experience (the guy I sold mine to) he's had 2 of the Elite 1's and 3 of the Elite 2's and they are all junk! The only reason he keeps buying them is cause he's got disposable income also cause he needs a wireless controller I don't so I went with the Thrustmaster eSwap Pro which I absolutely loved that controller. I love how much bigger that controller is as well even though it really wasn't that much bigger at all really but it's like night and day when going back to these damn small controllers. These damn controller companies really need to realize there are grown adults who game still and who have adult size hands and not small kid hands! Anyway after about a year and a half to two years now my Thrustmaster finally started to develop drift in the one stick pretty bad (totally not unplayable or anything yet but it's starting to go though and causing some issues) so I started looking at new joysticks for it while also looking at some new controllers that have come out since I bought my Thrustmaster. I ran across this Turtle Beach one and with my Amazon promotional credit I ended up getting this controller for $20 I've only been using it for a couple days now but so far it's been great other than the damn small regular size Xbox controller design and the smaller tops of the thumbsticks. Someone mentioned in their review you can get Control Freaks or something similar to correct that but I don't think that's the case as the tops of these joysticks are much smaller then the regular size ones so from what I understand from the pics and descriptions of those Control Freaks is they just clip on top of the joysticks. Well how are they going to clip on top of these on the Turtle Beach joysticks when they are so much smaller unless they make some specifically for this Turtle Beach controller maybe IDK? Which brings me back to the fact a controller company really needs to design a pro controller that is much larger for people with big hands! I was in Game Stop yesterday bitching about that and at least two other people heard me and said the same damn thing! So I know for a fact I'm not alone in the bigger controller quest! Just from talking to tons of randoms playing PUBG I know there are tons of us out there looking for a larger controller! I just think man some of these professional athletes (football players basketball players) those dudes are huge! How the hell do they even play any games at all with these damn small controllers? I bet they can't play for very long before their hands are cramping cause I know mine do and my hands even though they are much bigger than most people's mine aren't professional athletes big though. All these controller companies are really missing a huge market for making a controller for adults! I honesty think if someone makes a pro controller (buttons on the back along with some other added features like this one has) that has a much larger footprint they wouldn't be able to keep them on the shelves! Especially if they were reliable and didn't break right away like most of the junk Xbox controllers out there. (I've owned every single Playstation console ever made and never replaced a single controller) Just cause these systems are mainly made overseas where most of the adults are much smaller than other countries adults doesn't mean we are all small tiny adults there's a lot of us out there that are the size of two of those tiny adults in other countries! It's time to realize ONE SIZE DOESN'T FIT ALL! Hey I'm an old guy so IDK how to start one of those number sign (it's not a damn hash tag) things but someone really should start the #ONESIZEDOESNTFITALL controller movement! Come on you no job worthless "influencer" morons get with it and start a movement that will actually help tons of grown adult size gamers out there! Actually do something worth while with your life for once! Lol

[@theeirishguy565]

@@cujoman187 I'm an old guy too bud and I look after my stuff. I'm 45 now, isn't old, it's old in a 20 something eyes. I ran a club on forza 3 and 4, huge success. ( Many Years ) running a club with 450+ is like a full time job. Then I switched to cod come the end of forza 4 then 5 came out and it didn't do it for me. So I'd be jumping back and forth with forza 4. If you want to run around like a lunatic, slide cancelling, bunny hopping, going for camos which I did, obsidian, biggest waste if time btw on Modern Warfare you'll go through elite 1 or 2 or whatever it may be. You just will. The best outcome for any gamer is buy a pc. BTW Cujoman 187 try keeping your messages short, kids nowadays don't want to read essays. Good Luck.

There is no need to ever buy a standard controller again. Considering we have 4 to 6 fingertips facing upwards and doing nothing when we use a controller, it is staggering to me that standard Sony and Xbox controllers have no buttons on their rear plates. The original PlayStation controller was once described as an “ergonomic masterpiece” but after being designed nearly 30 years ago it is still only designed for the use of thumbs and index fingers. I just can’t believe this. Over 2 decades, six fingertips doing nothing. They’re spending millions developing haptic feedback for their triggers but they don’t put a button on the back?🤦‍♂️

[@Jacqie]

It is such a waste to not have rear buttons and i love that more affordable options are making their way into the market for "Pro" controllers.

@@Jacqie Agree and as far as I can tell this particular one is as sturdy as a factory unit. 👍👍

Don't listen to this BS paid-for fake nonsense. The TB Recon is an amateur controller. The audio driver makes any headset sound like trash. Control freaks do not fit snugly onto the analog sticks. the chassis feels cheap and the "features" are amazingly difficult to access.

This is the worst controller i have ever owned/used. Left analog started drifting within 2 weeks, RB button needs to be pressed hard for function to work. No trigger locks, cant take the controller apart to repair/fix due to the grips around the handles being in the way. Not to mention the constant disconnect from my system even though its wired, then having to re map the back paddles again. Annoying..Waste of 40$. Ill stick to my Fusion Pro 2
