    Its a solid controller with a good weight and feel. It has some cool features but overall its really overpriced and after using it prefer the elite 2 xbox which is cheaper and comes with a case and inter changeable features. This only gives u a battery, cheap plastic sticks and a cord. I used a gift card to get it other wise i wouldnt have gotten it . I do like the interchangeable face plates that is cool

    Ive been using this controller for the past 2 months and its been amazing. No stick drift. The controller is really light compared to the microsoft pro controller. The only con is it burns through batteries like crazy.

    Probably one of the best controllers. I just don’t like the fact it takes regular batteries for $200+. Functions great but not being able to recharge for that price is a deal breaker for me. Now buttons don’t get jammed. And that’s something I haven’t found in any controller. If this controller was chargeable I’d rank it 1

    Great controller, been on my grind and it has held up very nicely. Paddles feel smooth and the customization of the cover and thumbs sticks is a nice touch. Grip on back is a great feature.

    After using it for a year i would say it is worth getting the controller. it holds and you can customize your back button on how you want it. And change the front cover if you like. The grip feels good when you're holding it. You're less likely to sweat if you have sweaty hands after playing all day lol. Yes its a little pricey but compared to the other controllers I've use, id recommend this one. but if you want to go for a cheaper route I'd go with turtle beach stealth ultra if you want to save a couple bucks. not a lot but you save some lol.

    I did lots of research before getting this, I have the elite2 and wanted to try this mainly for the back control. If I’m playing an FPS I’m quicker with the elite paddles (use all 4). If you haven’t used a premium controller this one seems like it would be easier to convert from standard than the elite. I was going to only keep one and was sure the elite 2 would be going back, but I’m keeping both. I like the elite 2 for FPS when I need every single advantage. But the scuf is awesome as well. Scuff feels way better in hand, both elite 2 and scuf triggers very good. Obviously what’s best controller is subjective

    It’s a comfortable, overall good controller. Extreme lack of customization for the controller compared to the PlayStation version which seems poorly planned on the companies side. The left and right sticks have an extremely sharp jump in response from the delay (and again, there’s no way to customize this). This means if you’re looking for this controller for fast-paced fps games, be mindful that the delay can be jarring and increase difficulty with micro movements. The price is a little high especially considering the points listed earlier. Overall, I give it 3 stars, good, clean looking, comfortable controller; but they clearly did the bare minimum here.

      Hi,

      Do let our team troubleshoot any issues you may have, just to ensure the controller is not itself faulty. You can reach out to them via ticket directly on our site.

    Love it and have the past 2 years. I game 8-10 hours a day and has yet to fail me. Love the feel, comfort/non-slip don't make my hands sweaty kind of controller. Mostly play pubg (works well) and other 1st person shooter games. Would recommend.

    I prefer the elite 2 as it has a better layout for the back buttons. However if you havent already trained yourself to jse the Elite controller layout I could see this layout being advantageous. Finally an aftermarket controller for Xbox that is actually wireless. Seems to be quality and is far liter than the elite controller. I had a little bit of an issue with a sticky trigger that eventually worked itself out after breaking in but otherwise a good piece of kit.

    Feels just like a regular Xbox controller in hand with a bit more weight, but not nearly as much as the series 2 controller. Paddle placement is amazing, and it's the only controller paddles I was able to get used to. Very responsive, and profiles being on controller (avoiding software to make small changes) is a big bonus. Unfortunately, this was my second one as this controller is not immune to stick drift. That said, I'm still buying the same one as all alternatives I've tried haven't felt the same, so it's worth the headache.

    I've used several controllers with attachments (paddles, buttons, etc..) and this feels a bit more responsive than its peers. The controller is a little small for my tastes, but still is very comfortable in the hands.

    Its an amazing controller. Found a work around to using the offical Xbox dongle with my Steam Deck. It feels great, the antifriction rings are awesome. If only it had Hall sticks and a rechargeable battery. I understand some people that use high end controllers dont care about the battery. I do, the elite series 2 with everything is $179. This controller feels better, but you are getting more bang for the buck with the elite.

    Great Performance, Uncomfortable Paddles

    The SCUF controller is very responsive and performs well in-game. The build quality feels solid, and the buttons are quick and precise. However, compared to the Xbox Elite controller and other similar models, the paddle design is a drawback. Instead of being elevated, the paddles sit inside the controller, making them less comfortable to press—especially for someone with decent-sized hands. The positioning requires more effort to activate, which can be frustrating during extended gameplay. Overall, it’s a great controller, but the paddle design could be improved for better ergonomics.

    Excellent controller for the consistent causal or someone trying to get an extra edge in shooters or games with skill gaps. The back buttons fit perfectly for my hands and the grips add a nice touch of control and feel. Haven’t even thought of touching a stock Xbox controller again and won’t for the future.

    All around a great controller i dont think its worth $230 but its still a very solid controller i love the intant trigger setting to give me the edge over pc players on mouse and keyboard. Theres alot of customization you can do with the extra buttons and the grip on the back of the controller is very nice. It also comes with a set of extra thumbsticks you can interchange,and its super easy to pop the faceplate off to change them as well! If you have the money to invest on a nice controller id recommend this controller for sure. And it works on all platforms.
