The Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra controller may be three years old, but it's got plenty of tech inside to help it hold up against the competition.

It features highly responsive controls with Hall Effect joysticks, trigger stops, and a Pro-Aim mode that will help improve your aim when firing guns in competitive first-person shooters like Overwatch and Call of Duty.

It's got a built-in LCD screen that can allow the user to remap the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra's controls, check their social notifications, and even adjust a game's audio.

Other features of this controller include a bundled-in charging dock to help recharge its 18+ hour battery life, a lightweight ergonomic design that makes it feel nice to hold and use for many hours, and a flawless 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth connection strength when played wirelessly.

While it may had some deadzone issues and software issues at launch, a lot of those technical hiccups have been fixed now thanks to post-launch firmware updates.

Plus, the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra's extremely high MSRP of $219.99 has now been squashed by 32% to $148.79 on Amazon, that's roughly $50 cheaper than the Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller while having a charging dock and Hall Effect joysticks thrown in.

So, if you're thinking about getting back into Overwatch, which has seen an epic resurgence of popularity on Steam thanks to an upcoming large-scale overhaul, this discounted controller will help you rise to the top of the leaderboards in no time while helping you save money in the process.

Alternative discount

Should Amazon run out of stock or the deal there expires, we have found an alternative offering of the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra controller for $149.99 at Best Buy, which you can use as a backup option.

FAQ

What platforms is it compatible with?

The Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra only works on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and Android.

Hall Effect Joysticks also protect a controller from Stick Drift, which is a nasty condition where a controller starts moving a character in-game without a player's input.

Can it be charged without the bundled charging dock?

Yes you can by plugging the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra into any compatible platform or charger that uses USB-C connections.

What is the true battery life of this controller?

The Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra controller is advertised with a battery life of 30 hours. However, testing done during our review of the controller reveals that it actually has a battery life of up to 18 hours with ECO mode on.
