Scuf’s roster of pads could be seen as the best of both worlds. They pack in excellent

features like haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support, while also having interchangeable sticks, back paddles, and three separate profiles for custom button mapping. I won’t sugarcoat it, pro controllers such as those mentioned above typically cost more than your average pad. For example, the Xbox Elite Series 2 comes in at $179.99 / £159.99 / AU$249.95. Scuf’s controllers are similarly pricey, with the entry-level Reflex model running you $199.99 / £199.99 .

These are prices that can be tough to stomach, but thankfully, cheaper options are out there. Xbox has recently released theThis is a cheaper alternative to the regular Series 2 at $129.99 / £114.99 / AU$137.44, with the caveat of its extra components being sold separately. There’s also the Revolution X wired controller, which I consider one of the best entry-level pro pads out there. You can pick it up for just $99 / £99 from. It’s a feature-rich pad for being relatively affordable. You’re getting excellent thumbsticks, four back paddles, comfy grip and a set of extra components, and a carry case. It’s a brilliant option if you want to test the waters with something cheaper.

1000% at least for xbox... didnt want one but had to get the elite 2 bundled with my series x. Thing never dies and feels way more sturdy than the basic model. I dont even use all the back paddels or care about swapping pieces. Hope the playstation version is just as good.

What makes them better than the standard hybrid dpad controller for Xbox?

No the price of regular controllers is even too high.

No

Absolutely. I wasn't a believer until I tried my friend's first gen Elite. I got myself one as a birthday gift to myself. I legit wish I could use it for every system (PS is my main).
