Turtle Beach Recon Cloud Wired Game Controller with Bluetooth for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, Android Mobile Devices – Remappable Buttons, Audio Enhancements, Superhuman Hearing – Black

Initially, I was a little bit skeptical when deciding to order this introller, because of all the negative reviews and I am glad I didn't let them sway me from the purchase. I mainly use the controller with my Galaxy Tab 9ultra and it performs as well as I could expect. Buttons are very responsive and the sticks have performed marvelously and are showing no signs of drift. It gets used quite a bit and is holding strong. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a controller to use for gaming in the cloud on the go.

Works great

I've bought three of these controllers, each of them start out working flawlessly and are amazing when they do work, however the issue is they absolutely DO NOT work for long. All three of my controllers have started glitching anywhere from 30 to 45 days after purchase, the most recent one I bought in November 2023 and as of December 2023 it's unusable due to the controller seemingly have bound each X,Y,B,A input as if I pressed all 4 plus the right bumper at all once. The controller I had before that would randomly act as if the right trigger was being pressed when my finger would be nowhere near it, and the first one had random left stick drift and input jumps.I really wanted to love this controller, that's why I gave turtle beach a 1st and 2nd try figuring the first two were a fluke, yet after the 3rd controller issue, it's beyond obvious that this is a faulty product with massive hardware and software flaws and should be avoided at all cost.Side note: The Recon Controller app is utterly useless and looks as if turtle beach just gave up half way through developing it. I own A LOT of turtle beach hardware and I'm just utterly disappointed by how awful these controllers have been when they have so much potential..

Turtle Beach is probably as old as I am. They've been making game controllers for as long as I've been playing video games (since at least 1995). I got this to use with games on XBox Game Pass and fell in love with it. It also comes with an attachment that is supposed to help you attach it to your smart phone for game play. I can't say much about that attachment, as I can't get it to attach properly to the controller, but the controller itself is simply awesome! If you have a PlayStation or an XBox, it is very similar to their controllers. The game that I have played the most with it is Halo. It's night and day when compared to keyboard and mouse gaming!

Bought this with the intention of using it as a wireless XBOX controller on PC. I realize that the main description says "wired game controller with Bluetooth" but what does that even mean? Is it wireless or not?So I read everything more closely and the only caveat they mention for PC is that it needs Bluetooth 4.2 and above to connect. So I purchase it and sure enough, it does connect to my PC via Bluetooth. Imagine my confusion when none of the buttons responded in my games properly. That's because in Bluetooth mode on PC, this is not an XBOX / XINPUT compatible controller. The button layout is totally different and the triggers are no longer analog. This is never explicitly said anywhere on Amazon. It's only explicitly said when you deep dive into Turtle Beach setup guides online.Why is this? In wired mode, this is a normal XBOX controller. And in Bluetooth mode connecting to an Android phone, the button layout, including analog triggers, is the expected XBOX layout (no rumble however). In the setup guide, Turtle Beach recommends using controller remapping programs to fix this. But these programs can't simulate analog triggers. And why should I have to use such software in the first place when this is obviously a software choice on their part? My guess is that they don't want it to compete with their much more expensive Stealth controller. And if you only want a wired controller, there's the cheaper Recon (not Recon Cloud) controller.Despite all this, I'm keeping the controller because it's otherwise a great controller. What it does do, I can use. The phone clip makes it nice to use for cloud gaming. The included USB cable is long enough for wired PC gaming. The extra buttons are easy to program and comfortable to use. I haven't had to use the audio functions but they seem useful.So again, in its current state and at it's price, this is not a good wireless controller for PC. It can technically be used that way but it requires extra work. Hopefully, in the future, Turtle Beach will alter their product description to make that more clear. Otherwise, this is a good controller. BUT BUYER BEWARE!Thanks and God bless!

When the device is removed from cable connection and connected to the PC via Bluetooth the analog sticks function differently than what you would expect, the right analog stick loses its left to right function and only operates as up and down which swings the camera left to right. Very clunky and difficult to get use to.
