Turtle Beach’s “Stealth Ultra” controller launches for Xbox, complete with full-color built-in display

It might not be possible for a controller to get any more feature-rich than the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra. It’s out now globally.

Is it really stealthy though?

There is a lot happening with the new Stealth Ultra Wireless Controller from Turtle Beach. Sure the Xbox pad supports all the stuff that you’d be looking for in a controller, but it’s as fully kitted out as any other option that we’ve seen. And yes, that includes a full-color screen.

Along with all the face and top buttons, Hall Effect sticks, and digital pad, the Stealth Ultra also has four programmable back-buttons. You can program those via the front-mounted 1.5″ Connected Command Display, which isn’t limited to creating ten possible stored profiles.

Nope, this fully functional little screen can also receive social media posts queued from your phone. Is that necessary? Not really. Is it cool? Yeah, pretty much.

An immediately noticeable key feature that sets Turtle Beach’s Stealth Ultracontroller apart from the competition is a first-of-its-kind, integrated 1.5” full-color Connected Command Display. Through the Connected Command Display dashboard gamers can customize the Stealth Ultra’s performance aspects like button mapping, thumbstick response, dead zones, vibration intensity, game and chat audio, and power settings, as well as adjust its 16.8 million RGB colors for aesthetics, notifications, and low battery warnings. The Connected Command Display also gives players on-the-fly access to adjustments for 10 onboard profiles that can be created for different games, genres, or character loadouts. Plus, patented Turtle Beach technology, exclusive to the Stealth Ultra, allows gamers to send social notifications from their phone to the Connected Command Display on the controller.

Beyond customization and appearance, the Stealth Ultra is designed for reliable performance and longevity. The Stealth Ultra’s AntiDrift thumbsticks use magnetic, contactless Hall Effect sensors to enhance accuracy and improve durability, and two extra sets of domed thumbstick caps are included for added customization. It features premium materials throughout, including soft-touch finishes and a comfortable ergonomic shape with micro-cooling channels. Precise and tactile microswitches rated at five million clicks are used throughout the Stealth Ultra in the D-Pad, ABXY cluster, mappable buttons, and bumpers for fast, reliable responses with every press.

Turtle Beach press release

As we mentioned, this tricked out controller is indeed available now, and in all markets globally. The Stealth Ultra is priced in at $199.99 USD, and can be used with the Xbox, plus the PC, Smart TV’s, and Android devices. You can grab one here, on Turtle Beach’s official shop.
