re: My son wants a scuff controller for Christmas

I owned both elite and scuff. Elite is basically the same thing, but its made by xbox. So its a lot easier to get fixed/replaced. They're basically the same thing. However, he may be super pumped about a scuff because he follows esports and wants to be like his fav player.

The elite has 4 paddles that are added to the back that do give huge advantages in FPS like CoD/Overwatch. Instead of having to move your hand off certain buttons u just push a paddle with a finger already resting on the back of the controller anyway.
