Turtle Beach REACT-R Repair

For additional help with the React-R controller, follow the troubleshooting page.

Released in August of 2022, the Turtle Beach React-R is a wired gaming controller designed for use with Xbox consoles and Windows PCs. Its standout features include audio controls integrated directly into the controller, such as the ability to mute the connected microphone and activate Turtle Beach's "Superhuman Hearing" technology, which amplifies subtle in-game sounds like enemy footsteps or weapon reloads. The controller also has a d-pad that doubles as an additional audio control unit, two mappable quick-action buttons on the back, and textured grips, bumpers, and triggers for enhanced tactile feedback.

The React-R targets gamers looking for an enhanced auditory experience, particularly those who value the tactical advantage of hearing subtle in-game sounds. This includes both competitive and casual players who use Xbox consoles or Windows PCs.

Exact pricing can vary by region and retailer, but specialized gaming peripherals like the React-R usually command a premium over standard controllers, justified by their added features and intended niche market.

Frequent issues encountered with the Turtle Beach React-R controller include analog controller drift, audio functionality problems, and connectivity problems when connecting to Xbox/PC.

Consumer reviews often praise the React-R's audio features and ergonomic design, though individual experiences can vary. Feedback about the tactile feel of the buttons, the usefulness of audio controls, and the overall build quality are common topics.

The React-R controller features a design similar to standard Xbox controllers, with a layout that includes two analog sticks, a D-pad, ABXY buttons, two bumpers, two triggers, a home button, a 3.5mm aux port at the bottom, and a USB-C port at the top. While the React-R and the Recon controller from Turtle Beach share similarities, the Recon offers audio options compared to the React, and includes a "Pro Aim" feature to fine tune thumb stick sensitivity; the React-R has a simpler, ergonomic design. The controller also comes in various colors: Balck, White, Green, White/Purple, and "Nebula."
