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 bought this controller to replace my worn-out Xbox controller, and I must say, it’s an incredible beast! The response and feel of the controller are unmatched. It’s comfortable to hold for extended periods and has a satisfying tactile feedback for button presses. Since I primarily use this controller with my Windows PC and have a separate application for audio output, I can’t provide an opinion on the controller’s audio features. I would argue that the price is justified, especially considering that you have the option to flip both modules over to play games like Mortal Kombat or Tekken without having another controller. The rumble feedback is excellent, and I appreciate the ability to toggle it off from the Turtle Beach Control Center (which must be downloaded separately for Windows 11) since my hands are sensitive to rumble. I highly recommend this controller due to quality, feel, and experience!

the controller itself fantastic! if you play shooters. im a fighting game player. heres the truth its amazing for fight games except on major flaw. those switches on the back that you click to rotate your buttons.... they did into your middle finger and after an hour or so it starts to hurt. if you play shooters or retro this controller is amazing! if you are fgc and play alot this controller aint it. i love this controller, its so close to being the perfect controller, but the switches are eating my hands :( i changed this to 1 star review, the a and b buttons just randomly stop working, and its almost impossible to fix this. once in a while i can factory reset and shut everything down and they will work for an hour then they stop working. go buy a hori at least they work.

Great controller, but only wired on xbox

The Stealth Pivot is the best modern 6-button controller on the market so far. If you’re looking for one controller for both modern and retro gaming, this is the only option without major design flaws or missing features. I’ve tried many alternatives (Victrix Pro BFG, Hori EX2 Turbo, Retro-Bit Pro Saturn Pad, etc.), and every other modern 6-button pad is compromised in some way or lacks basic functionality. Pros: 1. Switching between 6-button and 4-button layouts is easy, and the rotating/locking mechanism is sturdy and well-designed. 2. The Hall sensor analog sticks, triggers, and face buttons feel solid and accurate for casual play. 3. The alternate D-pad (fight pad) is well-designed and precise. 4. The 6-button layout is well-placed and works as intended. 5. Although the polling rate is lower than other pro controllers, it’s not noticeable in real gameplay. 6. The Turtle Beach software is decent and relatively easy to use. Cons: 1. No DirectInput support. Two of the 6-button layout inputs must mirror other buttons (set via software). 2. Latency tests show poor results for polling rate and wireless jitter. As an Xbox controller, polling rates are capped at the PCB level, so there’s no way to improve this. 3. RSB and LSB are not assignable, though they should be. 4. No turbo, macro, or advanced functions. At this price point, at least a turbo option would be expected for games that require rapid mashing (e.g., Chun-Li’s Lightning Kick). 5. The color scheme is unattractive—alternate color options would be nice. 6. The price is a bit high. If it were cheaper, I’d buy several more. 7. The Turtle Beach software is only available through the Microsoft Store, which is inconvenient. It should also be downloadable directly from the manufacturer’s site. 8. No PS5 version, with no updates from Turtle Beach about future support. Not a true con, but still disappointing. Overall: A very good product. If the cons are addressed, it would easily be a 5-star controller

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.

The game pad has a ton of features, I'll say that much. It's pretty cool how many options there are for the triggers, honestly. You can choose between a quick tap or a longer press, whatever suits the situation. The thumb sticks also offer a lot of variety when it comes to the gameplay. Whether you need a subtle movement or a wider range, you can adjust them. There are so many different settings, it's insane. Playing with this controller is an experience. It's nice to have such a versatile device.

I looked around for a long time for a new controller after the controller I bought many years ago finally gave up the ghost. I wanted it mainly for my PC but being a big fan of mobile gaming this became another feature I was looking for. The controller is extrememly adaptable and really simple to switch between modes. I had feared that the Pivot system would leave the buttons feeling loose and cheap but the way they have done this is great. You can even switch it while playing a game it's so easy. It was easy to setup and really comfortable to hold. Must say I am really impressed, especially at the price I paid. Great product - 5 stars
