    I’ve been gaming for a long time now, and I’ve always had the lower end models of controllers. I saw this on the shelf and was worried about the pricing, but after biting the bullet and purchasing it, I’ll never go back to a basic controller ever again. I’m obsessed with the mouse click feature on the triggers and the thumb sticks are amazing.

    This is overall a great controller. I have two versions of a similar controller but I wanted to make the switch to this on for the mouse click triggers. For that function it is amazing. Mapping the controller was a little weird but once you figure it out it is simple. The one thing I don't particularly enjoy are the paddles on the back, while they do what is expected it is just a personal "feel" Preference for me. I also wish that I could remove them when I do not want to use them like I could with my other controllers. over all this is a great controller.

    It would be a good controller, but the durability hinders it from being any better than decent. For $200 I’m quite disappointed , the first one I bought lasted less then a week and had bad stick drift, I exchanged it and within 2 weeks the new one has bad stick drift and one loose paddle/button on the back. It’s past the return/exchange date so I’m stuck with it. If your going to purchase this you’d better have the protection which is another $100 and something or the my Best Buy plus that covers all your electronics. Because Believe me you will need it & you’re going to need to switch it out every few weeks- month. To be fair If you buy a controller for $200+ it should last at least a year in my opinion. A couple weeks is ridiculous, save your money or get a Battle Beaver for cheaper that’ll last you longer, thank me later

    This over priced item isn't even rechargeable. Il but a victrix. I knew i shouldn't have listened to the bs hype. This is definitely going back. How can you charge over $230 for an item that eats batteries up. I learned my lesson. Its comfortable but really smooth and it feels like it will fall out of your hands. Not satisfied with the performance over the elite 2 at all. Well back to the elite 2.

    It is a nice controller, but the audience that they try to tend to with a specialized controller like this with paddles, I would say are more serious gamers because of the price tag and the functionality of having back buttons for quicker reaction times dexterity use things like that, but I would not recommend I’ve been through four or five controllers. This is not Best Buy‘s fault it’s just Scuf sticks are terrible and get stick drift really really bad really easily. I even had one out of the few that I bought and returned to have stick drift right out of the box. For them not to have a complete overhaul of controllers with Hali effect sticks is beyond me how they’re just coming out with one in 2025. They came out with the valor pro, which has Hall effect sticks, but it is wired personally I like wired, but I know a lot of people I would just not recommend. If you’re a semi serious gamer who plays more Xbox than probably five hours a week I suggest getting another controller.

    Great controller. I still get some drift, but definitely not as bad. I just wish i could turn off the underneath buttons, because I hit them on accident at times.

    Best you can buy yes it cost the most but it is the best Be nice to it and it has a decent life span. Can’t wait for Scuf to upgrade buttons and sticks too Tactle and Hall Effect when they do this do not raise the price and they would have the only controller on the Planet you should purchase. Save your money and go buy a SCUF

    So far it’s held up better than the elite 2 controller. The x butting and left bumper just stopped working on that. Love the rubber grips and thumb stick feel
