Turtle Beach Recon Cloud: New controller for PC, Xbox and Android

The Turtle Beach Recon Cloud is a new hybrid controller designed for mobile and cloud gaming. It is compatible with Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and Xbox One, Windows 10/11 and Android and can be connected wirelessly or with a cable.

Turtle Beach Recon Cloud in detail

Visually, the Turtle Beach Recon Cloud is reminiscent of the manufacturer’s Recon controller, which we reviewed in September 2021. There are also some similarities technically (and in terms of naming).

The biggest difference is that the Recon Cloud can also be used wirelessly and is compatible with PC and Android devices (version 8.0 or higher) in addition to Xbox consoles. It connects via Bluetooth, but can also be used with the three-meter cable. It also has a 3.5mm jack input for connecting to headsets.

The battery is supposed to last up to 30 hours in wireless mode. The controller can be fully charged in just 2.5 hours. For use with smartphones, the controller has an adjustable smartphone clip that is said to be suitable for even the largest smartphones on the market.

The Recon Cloud’s special features

In terms of design, the Turtle Beach Recon Cloud features the classic layout of Xbox gamepads. Added to that is an ergonomic, cooling and ribbed grip with micro-cooling, as well as a Pro-Aim focus mode.

Pro-Aim allows you to use one of two customizable buttons to tune the sensitivity of the analog stick for greater accuracy at long range. Two customizable Quick Action buttons are also offered, which can store up to four profiles.

At the top is the audio panel familiar from the Recon Controller. It allows for easy audio control including EQ presets, game and chat mixers, microphone monitoring and more. However, it can only be used in wired mode.

Thanks to Turtle Beach’s “Superhuman Hearing” technology, audio effects such as quiet footsteps or the reloading of weapons should be better emphasized acoustically. Two strong vibration motors in the grips and triggers are also offered.

A one-month trial membership of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which enables cloud gaming on Android devices, for example, is already included.

Price and Availability

The Turtle Beach Recon Cloud controller is available in stores now. It’s offered in a classic black color scheme, as well as a chic “Blue Magma” design that focuses on a blue color along with orange details. Both variants have an MSRP of 99.99 euros. More details can be found on the manufacturer’s website.
