    This controller has added a missing factor to my gameplay. An amazing product. I have issues with the provided micro usb cord staying in the controller. Besides that I highly recommend

    I like the programmable options. When i use a single trigger, mu fingers get tired and having the option to program other buttons to act like the trigger, really helps. I'm not a big gamer by any means.

    I love this controller. The customizable joy sticks and d pad is the best thing. The triggers are amazing when playing certain games when I need to use 2 buttons at once, this solves the struggle

    Bought this specifically so I could switch between two button maps with the switch. It's a nice controller, but at 3X the price of a standard controller, I wouldn't say it is worth the premium price...

    Great Controller. This is my second one and I've had one since launch. The only real negative in my opinion is going to be the grips. The silicone grip's adhesive seems prone to coming undone.

    The only issue is the left joystick when you push it forward it flings back and turns your character around when in game play. Other than that I loved this controller

    This controller was super smooth, but stopped working after a month. It was replaced with a different controller since this has since been discontinued.

    Will add 10 more kills a round in COD after using it the standard controller feels Lose And sloppy sticks are more precise Different size sticks are great trigger pull adjustment is good for quick shots

    I've had this controller for a little over a year now and it is by far the best controller I have had the only thing I can complain about is the grip on the back is just now starting to come up nothing a little super glue couldn't handle

    This is a must have for an experienced FPS gamer. It will take you to the next level. With four interchangeable and programmable paddles underneath you will never need to touch the D pad again!

    Bought this as an all around controller and love it! After buying it, I realized that it has trigger stops which shortens how far you need to press the triggers! Great for shooting games!

    I have heard that over time these controllers develop "stick drift". So far after almost a year I have had no such issues. I couldn't be happier with my Elite controller.

    This is the second elite controller I have bought. The grips fell off the first one and this one looks like it may follow suit. Definitely over priced. Probably will go with a scuff next time.

    My gamer son loves this item. He says it works well and competes quite well with controllers that are far more expensive. He says it has quick reaction and a good "feel"

    Xbox one elite does every thing a $300.00 scuf can do if not better do to the app that allows full customize sensitivity for both sticks and allows you change face buttons and back paddles.

    I'm still learning all the ins and outs with the controller. It takes some time getting used to. I still hit the back paddles when game plat gets intense. I recommend for hardcore gamers!
