Worked, just not for long. The provided braided cord eventually started to fail and crimp, the triggers stopped working after a few months, the "special" buttons on top-center didn't really do as much as it seems. If you want a cheap controller, go for it. Wouldn't recommend if you wanted a long-lasting controller though.

Louis - 3 months ago
This controller is by far my favorite. I've had it over a year now, and it still works flawlessly. It has a cheap plastic, lightweight feel to it, but I don't mind. Not having a battery contributes to this. The programmable buttons in the back work as intended. The built in sound card allows you to hear your own voice when you're talking on your headset, which I appreciate. I'm not unintentionally yelling when playing games. The only single issue I have, is when I power up my PC, I may have to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable into the controller multiple times to finally get the controller to connect to the PC. I'm not sure what causes the issue, it may just be my computer, but it's a minor inconvenience for a controller with paddles and a sound card for $50. Great controller, great price. Feels cheap, but I assure you, it's a great controller. Can't beat it.

Great controller, especially if you have larger hands. Like almost every xBox controller the joystick breaks / wanders after time, but this brand lasted almost a year to the day before this happened. This brand lasted longer than other brands I have purchased (notably the Microsoft wireless controllers which I have purchased 6 of, which only one lasted 9 months before breaking)

right out of the box the controller has intermittent issues. push forward on the left stick and the right one will randomly and violently jerk to the right. I want to like it, seems like a great controller. unfortunately to have a silly issue like this on a new controller.

I had bought this controller around the end of 2021, and it was honestly a good controller for a while. The paddles on the back definitely came in handy. All seemed okay except for the fact that after a while, the right trigger began to constantly emit input in games, even when it wasn't pressed. Additionally, the provided chord wasn't the greatest, and would crimp and tear with use (shown in photo)

For the price this deal is unbeatable. Sure it can feel pretty cheaply made compared to other remotes, but the paddles on the bottom are the best feeling paddles I’ve ever used on a controller (plus they’re super easy to program). I haven’t had to use all the extra sound stuff on there, but it looks cool lol

Within the first week, the controller would disconnect in the middle of game play. I should have returned it then, but it stopped doing that after a few days. I've had it for less than 3 months and it drifts so bad, I can no longer use it. Absolute waste of money.

Very sad - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
I have had this for less than two months. The controller is useless. I am a casual gamer that plays 2-3 times a week and this controller is not working anymore. It doesn't stay on, it just turns off randomly. It has now come to the point of it just not turning on at all. I am very upset and was not expecting this to last me under two months with very moderate use on it. Spend the money on a better controller.

Gamer review - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
This controller is a waste of money. I purchased it after my Xbox wireless controller (which I use to connect wired) would disconnect through the chord (old controller). On the first day, this turtle beach controller would disconnect , log me out, and made a ridiculous high pitched noise I can still hear. Before you suspect it’s the console, don’t. New Xbox series X. Beyond that the controller feels cheap and is awkward to hold.
