    All and all a good feeling controller. I haven’t personally experienced stick drift at all yet and had it for almost a year

    Honestly this improved 2 things during my game play: my movement in game and my accuracy. Very responsive triggers, very comfortable and light feel in hands, kind of like the girlfriend I wish I had.

    Very customizable and I love the hair triggers. The back buttons decrease response time by allowing me to keep my thumbs on the sticks with faster movement. Combine this with the total tech membership and you got a winning combo! It did take me some time to get good with it, but still worth the investment!!

    Great controller, I wonder if scuff will ever make magnetic analog sticks and triggers like the elite controller has because that would make this undisputed in my opinion. Just easier to swap pieces rather than taking the face of the controller off every time. 8.5/10

    So I have a scuff FPS for PS5 and this. I'm using both controllers on PC. The PS5 version has much much lower latency, at least on PC. I wish they would sell that version at BestBuy. As far as quality goes, my R2 button on my PS5 version broke after 8 months of use. I hope the Xbox version lasts longer

    Better than the Xbox controllers

    This controller seems to be a significant improvement over both the standard Xbox controller and the Xbox elite series 2. I owned an elite controller a couple of years ago and returned it within 30 days because it broke. The controls have a nice feel and the unit works well. The added controls on the bottom do make it hard to pick up without hitting a button somewhere.

    Nice controller. Had to get used to it but we’ll made. Paddles are necessary in FPS games, Especially COD Warzone. Easy to map paddles. Overall satisfied.

    Scuff has always been a leading brand name in game controller design in my heart. This controller holds up to the SCUFF standard and does what it needs to in comfortable fashion. Recommended for every gamer put there.

    Not Worth the Money

    After owning this controller for a few years, I compared it to my Microsoft Elite Series 2 controller. I would much rather spend the money on the Microsoft Elite Series 2 controller. The button layout on the back is not beneficial for those with small or medium-sized hands. Additionally, the controller joysticks develop stick drift very quickly. I had to send this controller back within the first 6 months to have it repaired. Mind you, I said 'repaired,' but I had to pay for the controller to be fixed within less than a year. My Elite Series 2 controller was older and developed stick drift more slowly.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This controller is very good and feels good when using, but the placement of the back paddles can be straining sometimes and isn't for everyone. I still am not perfect with it.
