Care & Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Turtle Beach REACT-R controller, follow these care guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the controller. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. When not in use, consider storing it in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent dust accumulation and accidental damage.
• Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the USB cable. Always grasp the connector, not the cable, when plugging or unplugging.
