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!

Good quality controller for about 3 months, then the buttons (Y and B) start to fail and wont register button presses regardless of what you do. From what I read online this is a common issue with the Stealth Pivot. Avoid at all cost. And its not a fluke, I own two of these and both have failing Y and B buttons (one even has a failing R Trigger)

I struggle with giving this more than 3 stars only because I lost interest in using this controller after the novelty wore off. I'm very much a casual gamer but still waste money on different controllers to try and enhance my gameplay experience. I recently felt like playing SSVI again and hated only having 4 face buttons. I hated Heavy Punch and Heavy Kick being mapped to the shoulder buttons or triggers. It reminded me of how difficult SFII was for me on my Super Nintendo! But it also reminded me of how much more I enjoyed playing it on my Sega Genesis with a 6-button controller! So this Stealth Pivot seemed like a way to pick up a versatial controller that would give me 6 buttons as well as the option to play with the D-pad from a more natural grip. THIS IS WHERE MY LOGIC FELL APART... nothing "felt good" while using this controller: 1. Needing a wired connection for use with Xbox is more annoying than I anticipated for couch gaming. 2. The sticks lack tension. They're not loose, per se... They actually have zero wiggle or physical dead zone, but the lack of resistance or tension while playing makes it feel less precise somehow 3. It has about half the rumble/vibration of a stock Xbox controller. The rumble feels fairly light and also higher in the grip than stock controllers. 4. The 6 button configuration requires some reorientation... My home position with the right thumb is resting between the face buttons. Unfortunately, the compromise of 6 buttons is that the original 4 are lowered considerably to make room for the additional 2. I guess I imagined that it would feel more like the old Duke controller with the white and black gem buttons squeezed in over the original 4. But since the original 4 are displaced so much, my natural grip leaves me resting my thumb between the Y/B buttons and the 2 additions, and my muscle memory starts assuming that Y and B are actually X and A. These incorrect inputs led to mentally taxing gameplay and A LOT of Backing out of menus instead of Accepting selections. (I pressed B thinking it was A.) So perhaps it's not the product's fault that it didn't immediately enhance my (fighting) gaming experience with the alternate configurations, but it does lose points for noticeably detracting from the experience while using the traditional layout. Because it feels more like a budget controller with the wired connection, light tension, and weak rumble, I ONLY want to use it for fighting games, which ironically negates the nifty pivot feature.

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’m thoroughly impressed with the [Turtle Beach Stealth Pivot]! The user-friendly design makes it easy to navigate and customize to gaming preferences. The overall experience has been fantastic - responsive buttons, comfortable grip, and immersive audio features. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a premium gaming controller. Great job, Turtle Beach!

Nice replacement for the old Xbox controller The P3 and P4 buttons on the underside are only programmable for Xbox controller buttons and not able to be used on stick inputs like melee press

The dongle that makes the controller wireless was missing. Overall great product love it.
