Turtle Beach Swarm II review
A free control hub with deep customization across supported Turtle Beach devices.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Turtle Beach Swarm II is companion software for configuring compatible Turtle Beach gaming peripherals, including headsets, keyboards, and mice. It is aimed at players who want one place to adjust audio and microphone settings, create custom EQs, remap buttons or keys, build macros, manage RGB lighting, update firmware, and save device profiles. The desktop application is available for Windows, while the mobile app supports iOS and Android for compatible headsets.
The strongest part of Swarm II is its range of device controls. Headset owners can tune audio, microphones, and EQ settings, while keyboard and mouse owners can use remapping, macros, lighting customization, and supported gaming performance adjustments. RGB lighting synchronization adds a shared visual setting across compatible devices. Up to five onboard profiles are available on supported devices, which can make switching configurations practical without relying entirely on the application. Feature availability depends on the specific Turtle Beach product.
Swarm II is free, with the published Free plan including firmware updates, audio and microphone customization, and custom EQ creation. Its platform coverage is divided between the Windows desktop application and mobile support for compatible headsets on iOS and Android. Profile storage is local only, so it is better suited to users who manage their configurations on a particular device than to those seeking cloud-based profile access. Choose Swarm II if you own compatible Turtle Beach peripherals and want broad control over audio, input, lighting, and firmware. Consider another peripheral suite if you need broader cross-brand support, cloud profile storage, or mobile controls for keyboards and mice.
