Everyone may value the points I touched on differently than myself. I hope this is helpful if you're between the two controllers.
*Please note the elite series 2 case doesn't have a charging "port", just a passthrough for the cable to go into the case and plug into the charging dock. The dock must be in the case for this to work.

    The scuf instinct pro paddles are supposed to be used with only 2 fingers and you have to roll your fingers in to the inner paddles. Is kinda awkward but after about a week you get used to it and you don’t have the issues with breaking paddles

    I really love the elite 2, the only problem i have is with the bumpers. Im now on my 3rd controller. The first one I bought full price, second was covered with warranty, the third was through a "repair order" which cost around $150. Now my problem is, all the controllers have had THE SAME ISSUE. After about 6 months the bumpers start either double/triple clicking on a single input, or just dont receive the input. So although I really want to recommend it, I cannot say you should go buy it in good conscience.

    Same here, gave up after the third. All left bumper. Been using a Wolverine V2, which has great buttons but horrendous paddles. Tried my best to use but no grip hamd placement allows their use. Rendering them completely pointless. Trying the scuf Pro next, hopefully better.

    Hey, thank you I appreciate that! There’s definitely a lot i’ve learned along the way and I still change things video to video.I have some of the gear I use linked in the description and there are plenty of options to fit into different budgets. Aside from gear I pick a couple camera angles I like and try to remain consistent with those. Good video quality is important, but bad audio can turn people away quickly so try to invest in some type of external microphone system that plugs into camera/records externally. Lighting - You can have a great camera and without adequate lighting never have a clean shot These were some of the things I focused on first, I hope that kind of helps and answers your questions a bit!

    I have both controllers and I would agree that the Elite 2 shades it. The triggers are better on the Scuff, that's the main advantage IMO. The paddles underneath the Scuff are more like switches and not as good at the paddles on the Elite 2. I swapped out the original paddles on my Elite 2 with Scuff Elite 2 paddles which are waaaaay better. For me the Elite 2 is the most comfortable controller, but let down by the quality and sustainability of the buttons and bumpers. I also have a Chroma Wolverine 2 which has excellent buttons and pad which are like mouse clicks. If you could combine all the best best features of these 3 controllers you would have the absolute best Xbox controller bar none.

    I have been dealing with the elite series 2 bumper issues as well. My suggestion is purchase the controller at best buy with the geek squad 2 year warranty. That way if your passed your Microsoft warranty you can just take it to best buy and get it replaced for free. I would recommend if you do replace it this way to just purchase the warranty again because idk why Microsoft can't fix this bumper issue already. I have returned about 3 Elites over the past 3 years , it costs me $60 for the warranty so it's cheaper then buying a new controller each time. The sad part being is it took me awhile to get comfortable with 4 paddles and now I don't want to give up that accessibility. I just haven't found paddles like the elite series controllers and the awesome software to boot. I owned the original elite controller and let me tell you that thing was a tank. I never had any issues with bumpers or anything for that matter until about 4 years in when the grips started to peel off. Miss the elite series 1.

    In my experience the scuf controllers are more durable. I had a infinity ps pro for 3 years (playing a lot almost everyday) before one of the paddles stopped working (before that a little stick drift). Then I got the elite and it had a huge stick drift after only 6 months and the paddles that I used started to only work with too much force. However I have heard complaints and praises for both controllers so it seems like a lottery...

    I have the elite series 2 for over a year and have had to do multiple repairs. I literally had to shave the face plate down so the bumpers didn’t stick. I’ve had to send it in for repair of the B button. The joysticks will randomly start unscrewing and you have to screw them back in (usually happens with the right joystick) and to top it all off the button that connects to the bottom right paddle is now indented to far and sometimes when pressing that paddle it does not actuate until the second or third click of the paddle. I ordered the instinct pro a week ago so hopefully it goes better than my experience with the elite 2. Also my little brother has gone through two elite series 2 now and had similar issues as mine

    I’ve had an elite two controller before, don’t think it lasted 6 months, and didn’t know about the warrantee since it was a gift, issue I had was stick drift. Haven’t had the scuf instinct, but I didn’t get a scuf prestige a couple of years ago, and it lasted me for around 2 years before it was stolen from me, I’d say the biggest improvements from the prestige to the instinct would be the instant triggers is your gonna use them, and also the paddle design, not just for feel but duribility, I ran through about 3 sets of paddles because of the angle they were positioned, glad they fixed that

    The elite 2 is quieter than a gen 1 and 2 (not a series/gen 3 controller) controller but still a little noisy. Especially with the trigger stops. It sounds kinda clunky. The scuf is a little quieter than both imo, but still clicky, like a mouse. If it’s an option for you, I’d honestly recommend investing in a solid headset. My arctis with Dolby atmos does an excellent job of providing an immersive experience and I never notice any clicking or clunking. I too have bit of a ear thing similar to what you have it seems (I hate the sound of typing) and this works for me

    I have probably 800 hours on my Elite 2 and the grips have stretched out and are at the point that the controller is uncomfortable to hold, my right bumper double taps frequently for whatever reason, and stick drift is getting bad, even on the highest tension setting. I ordered an Instinct Pro to replace it so we’ll see how it goes. If I don’t like that I guess I’ll buy another Elite 2. I just can’t use a controller without paddles anymore.

    Never buying an elite 2 again. I love the customization and the accessories that come with the controller, but I have some major concerns. I have had 3 controllers now and the right bumper has gone out on all of them (I play destiny 2 and use this often for melee and super). The paddle I have mapped to jump is starting to wear out as well. I started having bumper issues around the 6 month mark on all 3 controllers. My other concern is the that the paddles are narrow and made out of metal, so they begin to dig into my fingers, particularly the jump paddle, during longer play sessions.

  • @cfactor221

    Ok i've owned both. Recently switched to the instinct pro from the elite 2. the elite 2 paddles do break over time. You get to a point where the round part of the metal that sticks into the small actual button in the back doesnt make good contact anymore and you have to press it harder and harder. Value wise, it's not even close, elite 2 all day. Thats where the elite 2's fight ends. When we move to performance these are 2 different generations of controllers and people just havent caught up to what scuf did with this controller yet. I get sweaty hands. With the elite 2, those metal paddles became ice rinks for my finger tips. Not to mention that 8 fingers are assigned to buttons which leaves your small two fingers to really grip the controller. Again with sweaty hands it can be a nightmare. The scuf, the grip is beyond amazing, i can finally grip my entire controller tight and no matter how much i sweat, that thing isnt moving. The mouse click is ridiculous on warzone, and please for the love of God DO NOT place a finger on each of the paddles, you wanna use the "finger roll" technique he showed. There is a steep learning curve, but thats where the game changer is. My movement on warzone has skyrocketed thanks to the scuf and im still getting used to it (tip: which button you map where makes ALL the difference). But yea elite 2 best value/budget controller. If you want true performance, scuf all day

    If the elite's paddles were on the Scuf Instinct Pro, it would be a game changer. The Scuf triggers are the only thing that's great about the instinct pro but other than that there's really nothing else special about it unless you talk about the price which is a lot compared to the elite's series 2. Sadly, the Scuf only lasted me 6 months until I got stick drift which is the equivalent of the red ring of death on the Xbox 360 console in my eyes loll.

The controller to begin with when I first got it was amazing as short-lived as it was I was terribly disappointed upon my purchase when in all reality when you're not sponsored by them you're going to lose what you put into it in the end.. at least if something goes wrong with my elite series 2 I have the Best buy geek squad protection on top of it and just get a new controller.. but, I'm here to tell you as someone who likes to lay in to call on duty Cold war and a small window you could say I'm pretty hardcore about it I like to have serious fun and compete in a fun way in free for all.. the elite series 2 with the marriage of my control freaks and tailoring the controller to my liking has been amazing I highly recommend this controller to anyone who's looking for that perfect feel and performance...
