For Halo 5, do pros use Scuf or Elite controllers?
Also, can someone tell me the differences between the two? (pros and cons between each… maybe a personal preference as well)
Thanks
Scuf. Most pros are sponsored by Scuf.
both. elite is made my xbox, scuf is a third party controller. both are close and very similar with small differences but generally do the same thing and share the same concept/ purpose. usually the cons of each controller only relate to that specific controller purchased. some problems wont apply to all controllers. the controllers are mainly favored by preference and price.
I don’t think a high priced controller would help me.
Once we find these pros I will ask them.
I also wondered this… In tournaments they have to use normal controllers I believe, so I don’t know if they would bother using pro controllers, then have to switch back to normal controllers.

Really? I assumed they can use their own controllers. I know monitors and other setup is mandatorily provided by the event but the controllers I feel are any they want. It’s just because when they practice for hours on end with a specific controller, it’ll be a huge disadvantage using a different one… especially one with a different set up. That would be like a golfer cannot use his own personal golf clubs… they would have to the use the ones provided by the tournament and that would just not make sense. I don’t have a 100% answer if they can use their own controller or not but it’s very hard for me to imagine them not being able to.
From what I’ve seen most use scuf.

They can use elite controllers, can’t they?
Definitely saw some elite controllers being used in the Latin HCS Regional Tournament stream.

Scuf controllers have been in tournaments for a while now so I wouldn’t see a problem with Pros using the Elite. As far as which one is better: I’d say save your money and get the Elite. It’s less expensive, it comes with a 1 year factory warranty (compared to Scuf’s 3 month), and it’s built like a tank. I had my Scuf for about a year and the analog sticks were falling apart, it had developed slow-turn, and the color was wearing off. I called Scuf and they wanted to charge me $30 to fix just the sticks. So I got the Elite and haven’t had the first problem with it.

controller used =/= skill level. everything is player dependent, doesn’t matter what you use bro. scuff, elite, default. They all have the same potential

Yeah im pretty sure they can use their own as long as they have been accepted as ok by the organiser.

Not really. There are definitely aspects of a controller’s design that affect performance. A simple example of this are the travel distances of buttons and the force required to push them, which affect how fast the player can perform certain things. Likewise, in shooters the build quality of the analog sticks affects how accurately the player can aim. Here stiffness, its dependence on stick deflection, and friction all impact on how easy it us to use the sticks accurately. Things have definitely improved over the years, and the Xbox One controller is a pretty great achievement of engineering. But a more premium quality controller could definitely improve player performance.
scuf helped design the elite, and they hold the rights to any aftermarket parts for it. so scuf v elite is like asking lemons or limes, same fruit slightly different taste. I personaly prefer my elite over my scuf.

k when someone who has a .5 kd buys a pro controller and is suddenly at 1.5kd and higher i’ll believe that 150$ of controller is worth buying. i understand that these controllers make a difference, but i do not believe they should be bought in hopes of improving skill, but rather more for comfort. I have used an elite controller and default, i still use default. Only difference for me was comfort, and for me 150$ =/= comfort. My point from that post is that the elite controller / scuff controller do not simply give a gameplay advantage, but a comfort advantage.

They don’t use normal controller in tournaments. They use thier scufs. ie: Stellur on Renegades had to use his Team Optic gaming colored scuf even though he had been traded to another team. He couldn’t get another in time for x games i think it was.

If they didn’t give advantages then they wouldn’t be banned from tournaments :). Sorry but maybe you’re not understanding 100% on how they work. They help you react faster than other people’s which can equate to you not dieing because of said reaction boost. They don’t necessarily make you good or better at a game, you just react faster than the other players which then makes it seem like you’re better. It doesn’t aim for you, don’t make you harder to kill, it just makes it easier for the player use the controls better and with faster reaction to those movements.
im looking at razer wildcat now, since theres many durability issues with scuf and some with the elite. and i like the idea of the triggers on the back. any have experience with the wildcat?
They were using Scuf before the Elite controllers except Snip3down who recently moved to Scuff from another brand I think, so naturally they would use that controller more. But, most will tell you the analog sticks are better with the Scuf and the paddles are less sensitive. More expensive though with all the add-ons.
