Since the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, Turtle Beach, a company known for making high-quality gaming accessories, has emerged as a major competitor to the official Nintendo controllers. The Turtle Beach Rematch Wireless controller has been tested and compared to another third-party option, the Afterglow Wave. The Turtle Beach Rematch Wireless measures 160 mm x 135 mm x 65 mm and is compatible with several Nintendo devices, including the Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED. It uses a USB Type-C connector, though the specific jack port is not disclosed. The controller is available in black and features a simple, functional design with a smooth front and a textured back for better grip during long gaming sessions. It weighs 360 grams, which is relatively light for extended use. The Turtle Beach Rematch Wireless maintains the same button layout as the Nintendo Pro Controller but includes additional buttons. It arranges the + and - buttons symmetrically with the Capture Screen and Home buttons. A central button activates the Game Chat feature, allowing for voice communication. However, the controller does not have a button that can power on the Nintendo Switch 2. The analog sticks, known as TMR, offer improved directional precision, helping to prevent common issues like drift, where the stick moves on its own. In terms of customization, the Rematch allows users to assign specific functions to the triggers. The process involves pressing and holding the action button, then selecting a back button to assign a function. The LED on the controller blinks three times to confirm the change. To delete an assigned function, users press and hold the action button and press one of the back buttons twice. During testing, the Turtle Beach Rematch Wireless performed well in several games, including Pokémon Pokopia, Pokémon Unite, and Hollow Knight: Silksong. It lacks central vibration, which is good for quiet environments but may be a drawback for players who enjoy more immersive feedback in action games. The button responses were firm and responsive, with very few accidental inputs during intense gameplay. On Mario Kart World, the built-in motion controls allowed for precise jumps, and the TMR sticks provided good control during challenging jumps in Silksong. The Turtle Beach Rematch Wireless controller lasted about thirty hours of gameplay during testing. It can be recharged via a USB-C port located at the top of the controller, either through a wall adapter or directly from the Switch 2. A full charge takes about one and a half hours, and Turtle Beach claims up to 40 hours of battery life per charge. The difference between the test results and the manufacturer's claim is likely due to varying usage conditions, but both figures indicate the controller can last several weeks without frequent recharging. The Turtle Beach Rematch Wireless for Switch 2 starts at 64.99 euros in black, with additional color options inspired by Mario Kart World, Rosalina, and Animal Crossing. It serves as an alternative to the Afterglow controller in Turtle Beach’s lineup. A wired version of the controller is available for 29.99 euros. In comparison, the official Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller is priced at 89.99 euros. Some of the links in this article are affiliated with the retailer.
