Customers have good things to say about the controller's build quality, adjustable triggers, helpful paddles, and comfortable grip. Many appreciate its lightweight design and ease of use, along with the extensive customization options. However, some customers reported issues with stick drift and battery life, while others found the back buttons to be less than ideal and the warranty period too short. The price point was also a factor in some negative feedback.

I spent dozens of hours researching competitive controllers and was skeptical if this woukd live up to the hype. I’m happy to report this controller exceeded expectations and improved my play dramatically. I primarily play Halo and CoD so this is an instant upgrade. I have the BB Total Membership so if anything breaks, then im covered for two years. Broke bois need to stop complaining about the price. Most folks are dropping this much if not more for sneakers and you are going to get hundreds of hours of entertainment with this controller. If you play FPS games, youll be very happy with this controller. Always good to have the 2-year warranty for peace-of-mind too.

SCUF products are a little over priced but i find this controller GREAT if your looking to only use the paddles 1 way and not trying to flick/press "up". If you have smaller fingers, you may have issues utilizing the paddles as well. The grip, quality and customization though are awesome and i do recommend this controller.

Finally Found a Reliable Controller Alternative!

I was a longtime Xbox Elite controller enthusiast - the first generation was fantastic. However, I went through TWO newer Elite controllers that both developed terrible stick drift issues, which was incredibly frustrating.
After switching to this SCUF controller, I'm pleased to report:
✅ Zero stick drift- the main reason I made the switch
✅ Better ergonomics- the rear button placement is much more comfortable for smaller hands like mine
✅Solid build quality- feels durable and well-made
Pros:
- No stick drift problems (unlike my Elite controllers)
- Improved button placement for smaller hands
- Reliable performance
- Great alternative to Xbox Elite series
Cons:
- None identified so far
Bottom Line: If you're experiencing stick drift with Xbox Elite controllers or have smaller hands, this SCUF controller is an excellent upgrade. Highly recommended!
Would I buy this again? Absolutely yes.

I loved the remote and that you can go from regular triggers to mouse click triggers. I love playing so many different video games but when I get competitive this remote comes in handy with the mouse clicks and paddles which feel so comfortable. 10/10 remote. I have a Scuf remote for my PS5 so it was only right to buy one for my Xbox! :)

Bought this for my Xbox Series X. Its a very good controller. Triggers, buttons, and sticks feel comfortable and responsive. Battery does drain faster than a standard Xbox controller.

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.

Ok remote kinda over priced, I’m not sure what else to say. I think $120 would be a reasonable price for what this remote has to offer. It does feel a little more durable than the regular Xbox remote I’ll say that. But the foundation of this remote is based off the Microsoft Xbox remote.

Great controller great quality ease of use grip on the back really helps with hands that are sweaty or hot. Interchangeable thumbsticks great for swapping fps or any other matter back buttons that are bindable with different buttons and 3 modes to change and bide them overall really enjoy this controller and encourage you to get it.

So being that I own several pro controllers like scuf, aim, and hex, I can honestly say this controller is definitely worth the purchase. The option to switch game modes and triggers puts this controller in my personal top 3. Only con I have is the price but is justified considering the price of other pro controllers and the insta triggers that can adjust to regular triggers. I would definitely highly recommend this controller. I ended up buying a second one... Game like COD, Fortnite, are fun to play with this controller especially if your already good at those games.

Responsiveness seems on par with the Elite 2 but the quality of parts and manufacturing feel like a step above. I'm not sure it is really worth the asking price of over $200 but if it lasts without suffering the problems the Elite 2 has, then I suppose that helps justify the cost to an extent.

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.

My scuf controllers are so good. I love them. I wish they would have them in stock more often but they are good and they’re always a good choice.

This product works well but after 6 months of having it i needed to replace it because it did get stick drift. The only downfall is how long you have to go without a controller 3-4 weeks

Is a really solid controller. I found it really solid in build quality, but I have a few things to say about it. I’ve owned this controller for about 1.5 months and I can say is a great competitive controller for some games. I play COD as a casual player and found that the back paddles are decent at best, how they are positioned is not of my personal likings but they actuate fast and they’re tactile (which is what I like). Buttons are the traditional Xbox Buttons and they feel great. The triggers I have a mixed feeling, the short distance mode in the triggers feels heavy, you really have to go a little hard when pressing the triggers (personally not what I like compared to other controllers I’ve tried from this brand and other brands as well). I haven’t experienced any stick drift or ghost input which is great because this brand is known for having that issue but so far so good. I do recommend the controller for someone that wants to get into competitive controllers that are starting to play competitively in the e-sports scene, but if you want something better go with another brand.
