Recon Controller: Turtle Beach’s first enhanced sound controller
How could it be otherwise with Turtle Beach, the Recon Controller is the first control developed by the company that has specific sound enhancements that allow us to dramatically improve our gaming experience through audio system innovations such as SSuperhuman hearing, a function that will allow us to listen in detail to the slightest sound, such as the footsteps of an enemy or the sound of a distant weapon reloading.
Thanks to the buttons located on the upper part of the front of the remote control, we have the possibility of easily change different sound settings, like raising or lowering game or voice chat volume, varying equalizer settings, the ability to mute our microphone and monitor microphone capture, which allows you to listen to the volume in your own voice while speaking to avoid yelling and have clear communication.
Turtle Beach Recon controller: Programmable botones, Pro-Aim mod
While the main feature of the Recon Controller is its sound enhancements, they are by no means the only ones. And it is that the command of Turtle Beach also offers us the ability to reprogram any of the main buttons for quick action triggers
Another novelty included in this order is Pro-Aim mod, a mode that will allow us to change the sensitivity of our right joystick at any time, which will help us greatly improve our accuracy, especially in cases where we are shooting at very distant enemies, a function that for the moment proves to be quite useful.
Conclusion
At first, I have to admit I was a little skeptical of the promised sound improvements, especially with Superhuman Hearing mode, but after using them with a Razer Kraken headset for a few weeks, I ended up making this remote my main remote
Another of the strong point of this remote control is its comfortThe Turtle Beach Recon controller feels really good in the hands and has easy access to all of its buttons, and thanks to its ergonomic handles and cooling rubbers, we can spend hours using them without worrying about sweat on our hands.
As only downside, we could say that switching from a wireless cable to a wired cable looks more like a failure, but since the package includes a 3-meter cable, we will have enough space to play comfortably from the sofa. from our house. So overall the Turtle Beach Recon controller seems like a really cool controller to me with great value for money.
Currently we can get this remote for $ 59.99 through the official website of Turtle Beach.
