Turtle Beach Stealth Pivot Wireless Smart Game Controller Officially Licensed for Windows PC – Rotating Modules, Display Dashboard, Hall-Effect Sticks, Remappable Buttons, Bluetooth, 20-Hour Battery

This is a unique controller with some awesome features I have not seen in the market yet. Here are my thoughts:Build Quality:First impressions are that build quality is good, everything feels sturdy and there is absolutely zero play in the rotation mechanisms once they are locked. For a controller at this price point it is impressive to see this quality level.Rotation Mechanism:The rotation is super cool - i love being able to switch from thumbsticks to DPAD. The DPAD feels nice and the buttons have a great click to them. The thumbsticks have a mechanism to drop the height when the modules are rotated and this feels well built and cannot be accidentally lowered during use. The rotation is the main reason I bought this controller and it does not disappoint!!Screen:The screen is a stripped down version of the Stealth Ultra, but in my opinion is better. Its less distracting, easier to navigate and allows me to customised everything quickly without an app. The social media stuff I don't really use, but I think there is a whole load of potential for more customisation which i am excited to see.Connection:Xbox connection is wired only, PC connection is wired and wireless via a dongle. Then there is Bluetooth to a phone as well. I mainly play PC and both wired and wireless seem stable and I have not noticed any input lag.Audio:What can I say - audio works well in both wired and wireless!Its got all the standard features such as rumble etc you would expect.Summary:I am super impressed with this controller, it offers something unique and really fits with the games I play. It feels solid and has a ton of features, I am sure I have not found half of them yet. This has to be one of the best controllers at this price point on the market at the moment.

I used this with a PC and REALLY liked it... Until I walked away for a bit and the controller went to sleep. Upon reconnection, the "A" or "Select" button (aka the one you need for every menu) completely stopped working. Rebooted laptop, disconnected dongle, tried different USB ports, and hard rebooted controller to no avail. Flashed firmware on controller and recovered use of "A" / Select button... Until I walked away again for a bit and the controller went to sleep. Again the "A" / Select button stopped working. Again rebooted laptop, disconnected dongle, tried different USB ports, and hard rebooted controller. Was not able to reflash firmware since it was now at latest. Could have called Turtle Beach support, and maybe they are great, but I don't exist to trouble shoot brand new faulty devices.

I almost never get impressed with these new controllers with a ton of tech built in. This one is super nice. It’s not as heavy as an Xbox controller but it’s not light or have a cheap feel to it. The screen is actually pretty nice, I just use it for button mapping and to switch profiles but it’s cool and not overkill or distracting. The only thing I would change is that the D-pad doesn’t have clicky switches. They almost feel mushy. It’s not the worst and I only play fighting games with an arcade stick or a hitbox. I did play a bunch of beat em ups with the6 button layout and it was great. Even used a Mayflash ultimate adapter and through wired connection was able to get it working on my switch no problem. Will test PS5 tomorrow but I doubt it’ll work. Overall great controller.

Love it

I was looking to replace a controller with a bad left trigger and since I'm into to fighting games, I thought I'd give the Stealth Pivot a try. The concept seemed perfect for me. While I'm arcade stick player, running around World Tour Mode or Battle Hub in Street Fighter 6 requires me to have two controllers (arcades stick and pad) hooked up to navigate with ease. You can technically do that with arcade stick but it's awkward. So this controller would allow accomplish the feat on it's own. Which would be great for casual play and I could just break out the arcade stick when I'm serious. So why the three stars?The number one reason is the D-Pad for any fighting game centric pad, the D-Pad has to hit the mark. It doesn't on the Stealth Pivot. It feels imprecise. I found myself flipping the six button side and just using the analog stick which isn't great but I felt more consistent with it. Speaking of the analog sticks, they seem a bit loose. They are accurate but I prefer more resistance.The second issue, and this may just be a me thing is the button location for the 2x3 configuration. The X and A buttons are too far left. I guess it was concession to get make the pivot function work. On the typical controller and the standard configuration of the Stealth Pivot, my thumb rests on the A button. However when you pivot the six button setup, my thumb rests on the B button. I've tried to get used to this, I find it awkward. As someone that plays on PS, Xbox, and Nintendo controllers, I dont usually have issue making adjustments when I switch to different platforms controller. However this has made me realize that the A button on Xbox, B Button on Nintendo, and X button PS are all in the same location. Again others maybe be able to adjust and I may as well, but as of now that isn't the case.In closing, I find the Stealth Pivot to work best in it's default configuration for non fighting games. Which is the antithesis of what I was looking for. You can get an Xbox controller with a standard configuration that works well for a third of the Steath Pivots price. All in all I'm disappointed. It's not a bad controller. It's just not what I hoped for when I made my purchase. Most of issues I think I'd be able to adjust to but the D-pad just isn't up to the task. That's what ultimately sinks the controller for me. The Stealth Pivot has other features but that may appeal other buyers but frankly I'm never going to use those.
