Turtle Beach React-R Red Wired Gaming Controller with Audio Controls, Mappable Buttons & Textured Grips for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One & PC [Officially Licensed for Xbox]

Bought for my son as his original controller had stick drift. This controller works great and has customisable buttons on the back. Would buy again.

For years I've stuck to original wireless controllers. In fact, I have an original controller graveyard, and have often done repairs to them myself until they fail to be brought back to a usable state. I fell off my chair when I realised the cost of them nowadays, and thought I'd go another way this time, hence this purchase. I admit, I was not sure if I could get over being tethered via a cable, but thought it was worth the gamble.The casing on the originals tend to be slightly textured but reasonably smooth. These ones have a deeper pattern cut into the areas either side to provide grip. I found the feeling a little strange at first compared to what I was used to, but it didn't take too long for that to disappear.While this has a few nice extra features, the main concern is how does it perform the basic functions we all expect. Granted, only two days in, but it seems fine so far and, the cable, USB C at the controller end, is long enough to sit a reasonable distance from a large screen TV.First day of use, the sticks were a little stiff, but after a few hours of play they loosen up a bit, although hopefully not too much in the future. Because these are essentially the same size as the originals, but have added four buttons to the face, the large (X) button along with [VIEW] and [MENU] have been pushed further down. If you are used to quickly pressing the [MENU] for instance on occasion, this will take a little adjustment, but is not a deal breaker for me personally. Nice to being able to contol the volume & mute quickly, although I haven't tried the 'super hearing' or the paddle buttons underneath, which are nice to have if I ever need them.In my limited time of use, I have no complaints whatsoever, and feel reasonably happy. If that changes, I will update this review with the details.

After experiencing drift on two official Xbox Series controllers I vowed to not hand over another penny to Microsoft and their sub par quality controllers.Firstly when I started exploring I was disappointed to find all 3rd party controllers were wired, again we can thank Microsoft for that! In an effort to squash 3rd party products they kept the wireless protocol the controller uses to themselves, hence all 3rd party Xbox Series controllers are either wired or come with a dongle.The first controller I tried was the Gamesir G7 SE, on paper this should've been my end game. Unfortunately it was plagued with faults and after a bad experience with their customer service team, I returned for a refund.I then purchased this Turtlebeach React-R controller for substantially less money, fully expecting a much lesser product. I was pleasantly surprised! Overall the controller is fantastic and I will be using it for as long as it lasts.Corners have been cut, understandably on the materials. The case plastic feels cheap, although it is textured in key places and is perfectly comfortable in the hands.The triggers and joysticks are firmer than the Microsoft controller, but in a good way. It feels easier to make more precise adjustments with a little more resistance.The cable is cheap, but functional, it's 2.5m and is just long enough for what I need. On the plus side it is a standard USB-A to USB-C cable, so could be replaced if length is an issue or if it fails in time.It has a couple of programmable buttons on the back of the controller, these are done using a combination of key presses rather than software.My reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is mainly the rumble. It's too strong! On games where the rumble intensity cannot be adjusted it becomes painful in a short amount of time, to the point I have to turn the feature off altogether. The other minor reason is the D-Pad, it's not great. It's mushy and a circular piece rather than a '+' shape. This is fine for navigating menus but I wouldn't count on it for much else.Circling back though, for the price these are minor gripes and overall this controller will be great for most users that either want a cheap 2nd controller or like me have had enough of the official ones failing. I'm at about a month of daily play now, and so far no drift. However, if this only lasts the same amount of time the Microsoft ones did at least I'll have only spent half the price on it!

Great feel in the hands all buttons are sharp and responsive, got this to replace a broken power a controller and wish I'd just bought this one first

Arrived on time good quality feels comfortable to use.

Great controller. Very light. Could use better materials. But overall great

I've been using it consistently for a couple months now. And it's a good controller. 2 nice back buttons that work everytime unlike the PDP controller. The only reason it's getting a 3 star instead of a 4 or 5 is that I'm now getting a little bit of stick drift already. Maybe it's because of the games I play and most of them require to press sticks down alot. But a normal Xbox controller would get stick drift this quick. Overall if your looking for a cheap controller with back buttons this is the one I'd recommend.

A month into ownership I’m having to replace the cable that comes with the controller as it’s stopped working already. Controller does not work unless it’s plugged in so sadly this rendered it useless whilst waiting for a new cable to arrive. Due to the shape of the controller it’s difficult to find a cable that will work with it. I thought this was a bargain but now I’ve spent a further £15 on a cable to fit it seems I should’ve gone for a better controller in the first place.

He loves this .came s dat sooner

Absolutely love it! It’s cute and works good! On my other controllers I’ve gotten from here with in an hr of playing the analogue sticks would stick on them and then I couldn’t use it anymore for the game I was playing. I do a lot of shooting games and so far this one is great!

Funciona al 100% y de muy buena calidad, el cable deberia ser un poco mas largo

These controllers are good when they work. I’ve had a couple over the years and on both the left stick starts to go out after less than a year of use.If you get one that holds up they are a a great budget option.Also if you live in the US like I do, it’s going to take an incredibly long time to get to you.
