The Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra is the first third-party, pro controller to go toe to toe with Microsoft’s Elite Series 2 and, in fact, it even manages to surpass it in some ways. From its anti drift thumbsticks with Hall Effect sensors to the microswitch buttons found throughout the controller, Turtle Beach designed the Stealth Ultra with longevity in mind. The entire controller can even be customized on the fly using its 1.5-inch Connected Command Display, plus it’s the first pro controller to work wirelessly on the Xbox Series X/S, albeit using the included 2.4 GHz USB dongle.
As we’ve seen with other pro controllers though, the Stealth Ultra doesn’t come cheap, with a price tag of $200. However, Turtle Beach softens the blow by bundling the controller with a hard-shell travel case and a charging dock that works when the Stealth Ultra is tucked inside. While other pro controllers boast some of these features, this one provides the complete package and then some thanks to its unique colored display. There’s also RGB lighting on the sides as well as a companion app that can show social media notifications on the built-in display.
