I used the Turtle Beach for about a week. Maybe 5-6 hours total. Although I liked it a lot (especially after they added the ability to map R3 and L3 to the back buttons) I ended up returning it. As I was playing, the left stick seemed to feel like it was "grinding" when it was pushed up all the way and rotated left or right. (walking forward and strafing left and right) After closer inspection I realized the grinding feeling I was experiencing was the fact that the thumb stick had ring shaped gouges along the plastic from rubbing along the anti-friction rings. Clearly the rings aren't soft enough or the plastic on the thumb stick is too soft. Either way, I think this is a huge design flaw. I shouldn't have permanent damage on the thumb sticks after only a few hours of use especially on a $200 controller. I have since found a bunch of reviews with people stating they experienced the exact same thing. Not sure if it's a QC issue or an actual hardware design issue, but it had to be sent back. Back to the Scuf for me until Turtle Beach acknowledges this and makes it better. Has anyone else noticed scratches on their thumb sticks leading to a not so smooth rotation when gliding on the anti-friction rings?

Is there reddit or tb related threads mentioning this issue? I'm on the fence, my unit is flawless besides this stick fatigue. Also after couple hrs playing noticed more friction on left stick with full lock circular, particuraly during calibration. I really want a keeper as all other aspect seems superior but i don't want to reach the point my top notch controller had the the stick sawn in half and broken like a match especially after warranty and with no replaceable stick. If the were easy to swap no problem. I'm wondering if everybody has the issue but no so many are so nitpicky or we have bad QC units. Maybe a reddit topis with a poll? Maybe there're be rewamped fixed version 2.0 launch in near future which i definetely would buy
Man, preordered the Turtle Beach via best buy and got it at launch. As someone who's gone through 3 elite controllers, I freaking love this controller. Those analog sticks are a game changer. I'm aware of other options but this one just feels amazing on hand. The Tb software - at least the Xbox app - is atrocious. But i love the fact that you can access all of those settings on the controller itself. I really dislike the caps and miss the thumbstick options of the elite series but after awhile, I just got used to the standard sticks on The TB. I play Apex a lot and finally switched to the 'linear' setting (which i found just impossible to use on the elite) and it's just amazing. It's not the perfect controller and has much room for improvement but so far I feel like this is the best purchase I've made so far! Really loving it so far!

@@pianovoix hi. I’m still very pleased with the controller. There’s lots to like about the controller. I quickly got used to the 4 back buttons and it’s ergonomic. Two things minor annoyances are the left stick friction ring has slightly worn - Does not affect performance but it is not as smooth as the right stick. Also, I have turned down in game dead zone to under 5 and I do get occasional stick drift. This happens when being smooth and gentle with movement. If I let go of the stick the drift stops. Despite this, I prefer very low dead zones to make movement more responsive. Hope that helps…
Could we say “the captain is at the controls” 🤣🤣 ohhh I love my knee slappin dad jokes.
Love the comparison review here. I am very interested in the Turtle Beach because I am one of those people who has had bad luck with the Elite series.

First party controllers are almost always going to have better quality control and use the highest quality parts. KZreadrs are probably just getting sent hand picked samples from manufacturers for review and have no idea how to discern the quality of components as they have never read a spec sheet in their life. Things like looks/features/feel are all valid reasons to choose a 3rd party controller, but not quality.

Great video! Really appreciate the hard work. I went with the TB and I'm liking it. A big thing is the profiles which you can name for each game. Then that's displayed clearly. Now I'm no longer getting confused with my weird leftie mapped controls that are different for each game. The PC software is a bit weird and took me a while to sort out. Looks good but it eschews sensible interface practices. For example you have to save the profile onto a memory slot once you change anything. And the B button doesn't seem to work but hey just use the mouse if needed. Oh and the app is full-screen only with no min/max/close buttons. Other than that it's a winner so far. My Elite Core 2 stick failed a second time so I'm one of those people who'll never buy an Elite again.

My rankings for the controllers I’m currently using. 1. stealth ultra took a little getting used to but damn it’s so good playing Warzone with. 2. Scuff Envision Pro such a good controller and the software it comes with lets you customize the shit out of it. 3. Elite it’s a perfect Xbox controller but I’m on my third one since 2019 4. Dual sense edge solid controller but those two back buttons hold it back for me. 5. Razer so fucking big it makes my hands cramp after a while but it’s probably the best controller out for people with big hands.
Remember, every up vote is another point that might get used to helping the captain buy another camera that doesn't overheat.
Spiked my elite 1 after the bumper stopped registering after 8 months. Elite 1 white edition wouldn’t stay on after about 3-4 months. Elite 2 back paddle got soft and stopped working after about 8 months and by then the left stick was destroyed. I’ve had a scud instinct for almost a year now no issues. Also have a WolverineV2chroma amazing sticks durability and accuracy wise

I know you were showing these as Xbox controllers, but I want to mention that the Elite Series 2 is recognized in Steam Input. If the controller is in its 'default' profile it is possible to use Steam Input to bind the paddles that way. Not sure if the Scuf in recognized, and the Turtle doesn't need that since it can rebind via the screen.

This video restored my faith in the Ultra controller, mines currently being RMA'd as it couldn't (as do many other Ultras) hit the diagonal menus in Baldurs Gate 3... Honestly, so many horror stories appearing on reddit with the controller, I was all but set on returning it for a refund when the new unit arrives but I'll stick with it after seeing these numbers. Everything from coil whine / burning, not working in BG3 (my issue +6 others reported same on reddit), disconnection issues, rough sticks, glitchy firmware. But, fingers crossed it was just a bad batch of controllers, the grinding people report on the sticks is also a thing but I did find just wiping the stem of sticks with a bit of cloth removed alot of dust that obviously built up in play which definitely resulted in it being smoother but yea, for sure something isn't up to par (at least on my unit) on the sticks smoothness after a day or so of use... makes it on par stick feel wise with the Standard controller rather than the Elite as it should be.

Great review buddy. So I've been through more elites than I can remember so decided to try the scuff instinct pro. Loved it but didn't like the back buttons as much. After that gave in I decided to head back to the elites. Went with the white elite but wasn't aware it was not as good. Had the same issue with the left stick as you but found a very easy fix. So far so good and I'd forgotten how good those rear paddles were. Might try stealth next. Looks ok but worried I won't like rear bumpers as much.

Mentioning that those controllers are on shelves and you can basically find it in every store you see, kind of waters my eyes. Here in Eastern Europe, the only one store that offers them openly, is unable to tell me when I can receive my purchase. And is not like I have to wait for weeks. I actually have to wait months! I am already a month of wait for Elite Series 2 controller and no idea if it is going to come the next month as well.
Love my TB Ultra. I feel like the battery is closer to 6-8hrs, but it’s not a big deal to me bc I just throw it on the dock at night and I’m good to go. There’s also the Pro Aim option to lower the sensitivity that’s mappable which I like to use as a snipe button. Love the Envision Pro on PC. Hated the Elite 2 bc I had it for maybe 6 months before both sticks started drifting on a $200+ controller. Solid video as always Captain 🫡

I returned the turtle beach. The battery life is not 30hrs in my experience. The screen would act wonky and not time out. The sticks not being replaceable are a deal breaker for me. Because the sticks are too short and small for your fingers. The controller feels very hollow and cheap in the hand. The triggers aren't mechanical but every other button is. Also even with an updated software I kept experiencing the controller freeze when fully charged on the dock. I got tired of reseting it. Major disappointment to me. I will await for the elite 3

Is the input lag/ delay just as bad if you play plugged in with the scuf or the elite?

@@GamerHeavenOfficial have you considered modding it with replacement thumbsticks to get rid of the grinding issue? I know eXtremeRate sells some metal ones that are Elite style so they’re interchangeable. I’m curious to see if they would be compatible with the Stealth Ultra.
Is it bad that Input Latency is what decides what controller I get 😂 that's why I love to game on the Dualsence/Edge controllers there average input lag is 4ms and on a 1ms response time/4ms input lag gaming monitor the average 7ms with my Elite Series 2 its really noticeable when going back ans fourth between the 2 consoles. So having a Xbox controller around the same input lag as the Edge is what I need personally. People that gane on just one console input lag isn't really a problem because your brain can learn it and confiscate for it.
Im subbing just because you included a kickin it old school reference 😂❤

Hey kev is having a high circulatory error bad ? I just got my HYPR controller and it’s got about 18-20% error when I do the circulatory test.

Generally lower is better, but 18-20 is actually nothing to worry about, it’s pretty common with potentiometer stick modules
I have been equally as fortunate with my Elite Series 2. I am still on my original and have not had any stick drift with my Elite Series 2. After a year plus of consistent usage. I also have been using the Stealth Ultra for the past week and for the most part has been a very nice controller with the exception of the one time I lost connection in the middle of a session in COD MW3.
still love my Scuf Reflex, better grip and feel than the Elite Series 2 and no more broke bumpers.. I had to send my scuf in at the 11 month mark for stick drift but I also play for several hours every day
Great stuff. Nice to see them paired up in a meaningful way and thanks for unlocking your brain at the end for an unfiltered conclusion. Still waiting for a seller in the Netherlands to actually have the Ultra in stock.

@@GamerHeavenOfficial okay, ordered one, but sadly had to return it. Battery life was awful, but another thing that bugged me was build quality: holding down on the directional pad locked it in place, preventing a roll to the right, the anti friction ring on the left stick wore down significantly in a few hours, and the display slanted to the right bottom. A real dissapointment for that price.
Brilliant video, we appreciate all the hard work you put into your research. I haven't tried the TB Stealth Ultra. I used the TB Recon, and it was so-so. I have the Elite 2, I liked the gripping surface, and non-slip is great, but it is heavy. edit- After less than 6 months developed stick drift. I haven't tried the Scuf Instinct Pro, as I am A) Going through the reviews carefully, and B) It's a money thing at the moment. Great review as always, the Controller Captain outfit works on you-maybe it could be your signature? Just a thought.

I did not disassemble the controller, as I don;t have the skill, tools, or patience for it. If all fails, then I simply replace. Still happy with the GameSir G7.

I couldn't stand the bumpers on the Turtle Beach. Might just be my hand size but they were very awkward for me to hit and playing a souls game with it was very uncomfortable for me. I also wasn't a fan of the Xbox 360 style joysticks. I much more prefer the feel of the gripped edges on most modern controllers, and really wish it came with options for that. The joysticks overall just felt not very premium. I ended up going back to my Elite and continue to wait for something to replace it. The Turtle Beach with the GameSir G7 sticks and bumpers would be my all time favorite controller though.
I do enjoy the Elite Series 2 controller, but I agree that QC definitely needs some improvement (ESPECIALLY with the Core controller). Contemplating getting a TB Stealth Ultra due to your recommendation alone.

On my second Stealth Ultra, Elite Series 2 is still by far the best, more features, a shift button, and 7 bindings. Can someone tell me how the Stralth Ultra makes aiming and shooting better. The Ultra is way over prices. We a paying $120 for the hall effect! sticks?
Out of interest, what Thumbstick caps do you have on the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra in the video? They look like Scuf from the pattern on them?
Not even an honorable mention for the Revolution X on the circularity test with 0% error?? Also waiting on my Hypr for like 10 years now...
Appreciate the depth you go to on your reviews of controllers. Thoughts on the Stealth Ultra vs the Victrix BFG Pro Xbox? Kinda whittle it down to those two for my next purchase, but would love discussion of a direct comparison...
Just bought a instinct pro and from personally using other pro controllers i find this is the best one despite the higher than normal price. Did come with 1 year warranty instead of 6 months which is nice
On Full Power setting with the Battery Life, I got 8 Hours with RGB Maxed out at almost 50% battery. That's still pretty good. If people are only getting 8 hours total on the battery, they got a lemon. In ECO Mode and making sure RGB is Off, I'm getting much longer. If you have short battery life, I would return it and get a new one. Love my stealth ultra. It's definitely something to get used to, especially me coming from a PS5 Controller I was using on PC. This controller has alot great going for it, certainly its not cheap and isn't perfect, it's still impressive and I like it alot.
im a hudge playstation controller guy... but the edge doesnt have full support on pc... the elite 2 is 70 euros here in the netherlands so ill give it a try
I love the elite series 2 but the bumpers keep dying and no longer respond consistently. I replaced it in December and it’s already doing the same thing a few months later..

the directional pad on the scuf pro is swappable, just fyi, i dont know why they even make them swappable, i like the stock xbox controller direction wheel the best, lol, awesome vudeo!!
My first Elite 2 lasted a long while. It had an issue with the right thumbstick. I then went through three RMA refurbs with issues until they just sent me a new one. Haven't had an issue since for 3 years.
Had an elite 2 for a while. Unfortunately my right bumper started being non responsive then stick drift set in. Just bought the stealth ultra yesterday I’m excited to see how this ends up working out for me
I had my first Scuf with no issues, so it’s kinda hard not to stay with them.
I've been using the stock 360 controller since I got a xbox 360 way back and just this year finally got a GuliKit King Kong Pro, so I just recently got into this whole Controller game, but it's just sick to see we're getting some feature rich controllers and many of them being multi-platform. Really appreciate you keeping us up to date and putting dem controllers to the test!
Just picked up my elite 2. I really hope when i get home i don’t run into problems like so many had. Love your videos!!!

M$ quality control for the Elite series has been an absolute hilarious farce to bare witness to firsthand. My current Elite 2, god bless her, is 2 years old, this ones been to the Elite controller vet 4 times, and shes the 3rd Elite series 2 controller Ive had. The first one broke from me getting so mad at the face buttons sticking, I skill issued it into a door frame. The second one, wound up being the stem warrenty, for which I genetically sequenced my current one from. Through trial and failure, I repeatedly claimed warranty against various issues regarding bumper buttons double inputting, to getting it back with the other bumper not inputting at all, to getting it back with the face buttons literally stuck pressed down under the shell. The last warranty claim I lucked out as it was the very last month of the warranty. And they actually managed to return back to me a fully functioning controller (not a new replacement mind you). But alas, the facebuttons are beginning to stick under the shell again. As for the Elite 1. I have a graveyard.
Just got the stealth and wow. Been using elite controllers for a long time now, the stealth is definitely and upgrade. So repsonsive, clicks feel great and it just looks so damn good. I dont like TB products normally, but they rocked this one in my opinion.
I've had these controllers at least once (2 elites, both broke within a year) and the others either sold or returned. The best controller I've had is the razer controller. I had 2 of the 1 gen and on my second v2 chroma! Definitely the best option for competitive gamers where all the buttons are like the pc mouse click literally instant!
Has anybody used the TB Steatlh Ultra with fighting games? I am curious on how the dpad is with fighting games. It just looks different than most dpads.

Dpad on the Stealth Ultra is absolute garbage. Lots of pre-travel in any direction before getting to a hard stop which is before the actuation. Also, and this is the worst part, the d-pad doesn't have a pronounced enough pivot, which means you can press down in the middle of the d-pad with your thumb and cause multiple directions to be pushed at once, plus, if you push down on the dpad, it makes it harder to move between opposite directions or perform rotations. Razer had the same issue with the Raion when that first came out, and they were crucified for it, but TB is getting a pass for doing the same thing with the Stealth Ultra, or maybe reviewers are not noticing it cause they only play CoD. The d-pad on the Stealth Ultra is an inexcusable embarassment.

Oh I'm excited to see the results.
I have had the same stick issues out of box for multiple Elite 2s (the normal one, not the core) Will not buy another one for that alone. Additionally even if they didnt come out of box that way, the start stick drifting within 3 months of purchase. Looking to try out an HE and hope for the best.

Had the original Elite right bumper went after 6 months replaced it myself, then the stick drift happened after owning it for little over and year, switch to a Power A Fusion 2 one of the rear paddles just died and the rubber on the sticks also replaced the sticks with some new grippy thumb sticks but I have own this controller for over 2 years and leaning towards the new Turtle Beach Stealth.
Are you going to do a comparo for the Turtle Beach and the Envision? Especially with both getting software updates to fix initital issues I'm curious whose doing better right now from your point of view I am in the market for both but want to make the best choice.
I wish companies focus more on quality of materials rather than gimmick features.
I've gone through a couple of elite 2 myself until I started repairing them myself. once I started repairing them myself they last 3 times longer than brand new ones.
I have had 3 elites over the last 3 years 2 full price elites and a core and they have all broke in under a year of use rather that be paddles,trigger stops, etc my favorite I have switched to is the razer wolverine v2 tournament edition I’ve had it for about year and a half now and have had no problems out of it and it’s around 80 to 100$ cheaper than these but I have been interested in the new tb so u may try it out
