    I use it with 2 flappers, if I use all 4 I might press one on accident. I think 2 is all you need, I'm glad I bought it.

    Excellent controller, but breaks very often. Such a shame due to its cost. I recommend getting the protection plan.

    Better than Scuff pad

    I have had both controllers and the versatility of this controller plus the ability to switch on the fly and edit controls right through an app on Xbox makes this a winner for me. Now I do believe that if you are really aggressive with your controllers this will break faster than the scuff but since I'm not a savage I haven't seen that problem only heard about it, this didn't concern me. Would like to we them a little cheaper though and let me customize the look Microsoft! Lol
