My son wants a scuff controller for Christmas

I don’t personally own a scuff, but if he is a teenager that plays FPS games somewhat competitively than most people than I’d say it’s a good investment/gift.

I have no problem with normal controllers, but I have friends who got a scuff and will never go back. The only mod I use for FPS games are Kontrol Freeks.

ETA: you can map the buttons on a Scuff. It allows more customization of the button mapping. Like I remember in Destiny 1 people who used a scuff would map the slide button to another button scuffs and it was a more natural button press. It can give you an advantage depending on your play style.

I have the elite, a scuf, and a battlebeaver custom controller. I like the battlebeaver the best because of some unique services they offer followed by a tie between the elite and scuf.

The answer is if he likes fps games, then yes totally worth having a nice controller.

You cannot program a controller in-game?

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.
