If you're having a little look in the comments, don't forget to Subscribe to check out more videos just like this one. It would be appreciated , thanks !!

I got the white and black elite 2 controller with the scuf paddles with the 2 year warranty I’m chillin

i got the elite 2 core just because the color and bought the rest separately

please make a video on stick drift

I simply can't use the paddles on the Scuf. Ice tried and tried and tried to get used to them, but I just can't.

If I could have the Scuf thunbsticks with the Elite paddles I'd be set. There's just something so nice about the Scuf sticks.

Had my Elie for about a year now and no issues and play alot of cod but want to get this scuf...only thing I owned about 3 scuff controllers and they don't seem to last more than 8 months will see how this one goes....good thing getting it from best buy can just return if any issues with warranty

Why mention the squeaks if you won't show us?

I feel like people are too easily accepting to battery pacts.... especially built in, non-removable batterys. That means when the internal battery goes out so does that whole controller. No thanks, instead of a new $200 controller every couple years I'll just buy $20 worth the rechargeable AA batteries every couple years.

No battery??, End of discussion mic drop

Where are these sold? In stores or online only?

can you still get a chargable battery pack for the scuf?

my scuff didn't last more than 6 months before it got hudge right stick drift

I have been through 5 elite series 2 controllers and all of them the same issue, the A and B buttons responsiveness giving out if not responding right out of the box. Thank the gaming gods that they were all under warranty though I have to bash on Gamestop making me pay for a new warranty every time I had to replace it outside of the 2 that weren't responding right out of the box. Currently awaiting the Scuf Instinct Pro so I can give it a go. I really hope it gives me a better experience.

I highly recommend staying away from xbox elite controller i have gone through 3 of them and all of them end up having the same problem around 6 months and that is the right bumper just stop’s registering inputs and its very annoying dont get elite it’s horrible and not worth

Elite all day every day. I've bought 2 scuf and they both broke within 6 months. The first scuf went bad with crazy uncontrollable stick drift, the second wouldn't retain the button mapping (had to reset my buttons everytime I turned the controller back on).

sorry but the fact you can use regular batteries is a major selling point. ive actually had to replace my ps5 controllers after just 1 year because the internal battery failed, and my elite series 2 lasted only 9 months, again because of the crappy battery.

Surprised you did not even talk about the analogs or the d pad which are the biggest major differences between the two controllers especially for competitive gaming. The analogs for the elite controller are heavy and slow to snap back. They will tire out your thumbs over long play periods 4 - 6 hours or more. I have even got some bad cramps that last a week and felt like mild arthritis and I always had the tension on the lowest. If you need full control over the analog and make precision movements and fast jerks, it's a heavy slog. You have to put more pressure on the elite controller than you do on other plastic analogs like PS5, PS4 or Xbox Wireless.

In competitive fighting games you will be using the d pad. The dpads on the elite are the opposite of what you want for a fighting game. They are rigid, and uncomfortable. The classic d pad is serviceable however but you will find it unforgiving after doing your 500th DP motion. It is simply incomparable in the comfort and precision you will get doing the quarter circle motions on the X Box wireless hybrid dpad. If the SCUF's hybrid is anything like the Xbox Wireless (Series X/S) then it is supremely better than a solid metal dpad and exceeds the PS5 dual sense although after some breaking in the DS4 is quite a decent dpad for such games.

This review is missing some very important key discussion points I suggest you add to it because it could use a more technical analyses.

I picked up both of these controllers for 40 bucks. Awesome deal I guess. Xbox elite 2 is better though

I'm waiting n looking for xbox adaptive trigger pad

The biggest issue with the elite is quality - I've had four and all had issues after just a few months. That's like 800 plus bucks wasted. DO NOT BUY THE ELITE ITS A WASTE

Scuf is the cheapest made controller and most unreliable even though they charge 350 for the one I bought I will never make that mistake again!!! Total garbage!!!

Ordered the scuf instinct pro. within 3 days had .8N stick drift on the right stick. returning it was a serious hassle. Like the feel of the controller but stick drift after 3 days is not worth a $200 controller..

Every elite I've ever owned the left bumper stops working or falls out. It could be halo bumper jumper but i would expect a controller at its price to last longer

my elite 2 has a dead spot in the left joystick straight out of the box

Should I buy a scuf or a elite

I will never buy another ms controller. They all break prematurely.

scuff is junk went bad twice now and I take care of all my controllers

As an elite owner, I would say to anyone reading to get the Scuf. After 10 months of use, the left bumper stopped registering. Incredibly disappointed with the elite’s grip as well.

I tried to elite 2 and it was horrible! The stock xbox controller for the x and s versions are way better. I have not yet tried the scuf but i can be confident in saying it is way better than the elite 1 or 2. The elite was so bad with the joystick response. It basiclly turned me into a noob with awful accuracy. Switch back to regular and i was back to normal for me.

My elite 2 has this weird glitch where the bumper clicks twice. Super annoying

For anyone considering this controller trust me its a money pit of mistakes and regret fuck this lame ass controller

Thinking about getting a scuf instinct pro but can you tell me what 4 thumbsticks come with it as i prefer both stock height but domed and do you now if kontrol freaks fit the non domed.

To sum it up.... it's all personal preference, cool

Until Microsoft decides to use hall effect based sticks, instead those cheap potentiometer joysticks. They will always be trash, and no more than a paper weigh every 3 months. 😂😂 They want people to buy 4 controllers a year. I pray everyday for a " Planned Obsolescence" class action settlement.😂😂

I've had 3 elites over probably the last 3 years. All of them broke, RB normally. Customer service is decent though if in warranty but the repairs come back and eventually break again. I play a decent amount of destiny so it gets some action when swords are the thing. So will probably try the scuff now, although is very expensive compared to the elite and even the new PS5 controller

I have the elite and I get the feeling I'm performing better with the regular Xbox Series X controller. It feels off to me. Now I hear you say you also experience the feeling of lag. Very interesting. I thought I sucked because of playing with MKB on PC for a while. But I switched whole my life between PC and console and never experienced this feeling before. Maybe I should try the Scuf, but they are so expensive.

I have an elite series 2. I’ve had the controller for about 8 months. I noticed straight out the box that the A button sometimes does not register. I’m also now experiencing my RB is hardly registering. I have to press it really hard and in a specific spot on the button to get it to function correctly. Another issue I’ve had is random connection drops. It’ll be randomly in the middle of a game my controller will stop working, but it still says it’s on so I have to reconnect it by holding the pairing button. With all these issues, and not to mention how difficult it is to get a hold of Microsoft since it’s still within warranty. I just bought a scuff controller. I pray that it is better.

I have both competitive go for the scuff

not your opinion actually elite 2 is 8ms compared to 2ms 1ms other controllers

Hi from Glasgow pal

deserved my sub g

The scuff is a massive let down, for the price they could of actually used a elite to upgrade, scuff is a normal controller jacked up, most headset adapters won't fit due to them non adaptable buttons under the controller, you been battery's, not Built in like the elite, the scuff feels light weight and cheep, very plastic, I would 100% get the scuff if it was a elite upgrade, but it's not, over priced for what it is

I have a elite series 2 controller, if I ordered the scuf instinct pro controller analogue sticks and put it in my elite controller would it work or no?

the xbox one has no life span Im a big xbox fan but my lord I have went through 3 controllers in the last year. the buttons just stop working

My Elite 2 is basically useless after little over a year with moderate use, not abuse never thrown.
A button double presses all the time, B sticks, and right bumper requires tons of force to register an input.
Id say maybe it was a one off dud, but so many others have similar issues with ELITE 1 and ELITE 2, i was a chump who figured they would have fixed all the problems with 2 but nope.

The scuf pro sucks and they never respond everyone I know is having stick drift mine is brand a** new and the vertical drift is insane and they NEVER respond to my outrageous complaints the elite is uglier but it’s better WAY better boycott scuf

Microsoft q.c stinks!!

Listen closely people- once upon a time Microsoft used high quality potentiometers in their thumbsticks making them nearly bulletproof. Those days are gone. Even their top of the line controllers use bargain bin electronics exactly in the places where it matters most. The thumbsticks will crap out on you, most likely sooner rather than later. Don't support companies that sell garbage at your expense. Quality won't improve until we stop making their crap profitable for them to sell.

Amazing video man

I have gone through 3 elite series 2 controllers, they are awesome but after a few weeks crazy stick drift or bumpers not working. I just ordered my first scuf, I'm excited to see if it's better.
