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

So I've been using this controller for a while now and its actually a great controller, its comfortable for me to use for extended periods and works as it should I actually prefer it to the original Xbox controller and so far its still working as good as when I bought it there is no wander with the thumb sticks and its fairly precise when aiming. It does feel a bit on the cheapish side compared to an original one but it seems robust enough and to be fair I didn't expect anything else at this price point, I don't mind that its wired because I didn't want the hassle of charging it or replacing batteries every five minutes.

Great color, extra buttons provide better control and enhanced options to improve your gaming experience. Great price.

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!

The turtle Beach React-R is literally the best controller I have ever used. I have owned three of these myself (one I broke raging on Halo, one got stick drift due to me using my dead zones often but is still fine to use and the third is running fine)First one i had was retro white and purple, looks like an old-school console controller.Second is bright Red, my favourite colour.Third is a Galaxy Nebula style, personally my favourite design I've owned so far.The buttons are smooth to press and triggers too.The reaction time for each button press is insane I can swap gears on need for speed heat at speeds in which four other brands of controller I have tried cannot even compete with.Turtle Beach outdo PDP, Rock Candy, Power A, and even feels better than my official controller I use to use.Ergonomics are spot on and the controller fits in your hand like a glove.Aesthetically I have loved all three of these that I have owned and they offer all sorts of different designs.10/10 would highly recommend!

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.

I have no problem with it. Cable is strong and durable. Love the extra buttons too.

My Son likes it, But for Me it felt cheap, Slipped out My hands, No grip.
