Turtle Beach has decided it likes to put screens on its gamepads. That's fine: the LCD display on the excellent Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra was a lot more useful than I thought it would be. When it comes to the new Stealth Pivot, the screen isn't even the chief novelty. No, the big novelty here is the Pivot's unusual approach to modular design.
Let's clarify that, though. While modular, the Pivot isn't coming for the Scuf Instinct Pro's lunch, nor does it have the versatility of something like the Victrix Pro BFG, which boasts unscrewable swappable pieces. No, the Pivot is really just two things: It's a conventional gamepad out of the box, but literally hiding underneath its default configuration is a gamepad made for fighting games, or arcade games, or any other kind of controller-centric game that doesn't require analog sticks.
