Customers are saying

Customers love the feel of the Elite Series 2 Performance Thumbsticks, but some have concerns regarding their durability and grip. Several users reported that the thumbsticks wear down quickly and lose their grip over time, impacting their overall performance. The concave thumbsticks, in particular, showed signs of significant wear. While some users found no significant difference in grip compared to the standard thumbsticks, others experienced a decrease in grip performance.

    Very good grip compared to original thumbsticks would recommend to anyone and buy again! Thin sticks lasted about a year before the grip became wore down and not as good by still better than original thin sticks!

    Not nearly as good as the original sticks which came with the Elite series 2. Low grip and feel like a much cheaper product.

    They are good grips. The regular Xbox grips handle my sweaty hands better though. As far as grip and handle they are great, I just feel my sweat under my thumbs more with this product than the elite series two grips.

    They wear down a lot quicker then the ones that come with your elite controller. Ended up going back to the originals.

      Hi FutonR0n,

      Sorry to hear, these should be very durable and long-lasting. How long were you using the Performance Thumbsticks? Would you be able to provide further information to our support team? support.scufgaming.com

    We bought these the same day I bought the SCUF paddles and Elite 2 controller. The controller and paddles are great but these are junk. I have moderate usage on my Xbox One X because I have other responsibilities and cannot play all day. With that said, these do not hold up to moderate usage. They might work if you’re extremely gentle or only play an hour a week of games or less. I use the taller domed one on my right joystick and a shorter concave for the left joystick. Both of the concave short ones are ruined. With usage they get warm and they deform. I have not wrecked the domed stick yet but it is showing some signs of deformation. The concave ones have gotten to the point where the metal underneath is poking through. The ONLY positive to these which is also their biggest negative is that they are soft. They don’t hold up. I would not buy these again. I will recommend the SCUF paddles if you’re an FPS player and don’t like the Microsoft style.

    Absolutely not worth the purchase. Why is one of them a creamy white while the rest is a regular white? The magnet sucks. The bar looks awkward on the controller as if it wasn't suppose to be there.

    These are incredible. But over time they literally just blemish away like a floor Mat in a car. The more you use it the more they wear away. Luckily they are cheap and in expensive so I really like them because they are so soft and gripy.

    I bought these because I didn't know the elite comes with additional swappable thumbsticks. I don't find the Scuf kit to be worth it, since the only real unique thumbstick is the domed stick. I am returning. These would be great to replace broken or worn out elite thumbsticks, though.

    Good as a replacement, not different enough to the pack-in Elite 2 to justify a stand-alone purchase but are fine if you lost one.
