Purchased a $200 customized Scuf ps4 controller. it is the best thing on the market. after about 80 days (or so) the left back paddles stopped working. sent it in for repair for free as it was still under warranty. when it came back, it worked well again for about 42 days. the right paddle stopped working. I called again and now it was out of warranty so I could no longer get it fixed for free. Sent it in again for repairs, got it back it worked great. the RB and LB buttons both work intermittently. Sent it in for repairs, got it back it worked great. the left stick completely broke. Sent it in to scuf repair and got it fixed. Each time costing me more and more for repair cost. Its not like I don't have money, but the repairs were starting to get expensive. Around one of the next repairs that I needed, I didn't really want to wait for my controller to come back after several days of waiting. I game every day. I wanted a faster way to get repairs finished and my customized Scuf ps4 controller that i spent money for. set paddle broke again so that i could still game I remapped the broken paddle to the one right next to it. and then i set out for a search for something to open the controller. found this, expensive but less than sending it back and stuff. one time payment and all. now the paddle no longer works. neither does one on the other side of the controller. so it was good timing. by this time the controller was about 605 days old, about 2 years. seeing that it is repair intense, it was good that i got my own maintenance tool box to fix it when it goes out on me. since owning it i have saved myself at a few hundred in repairs and no waiting time to get it back. i hated using my backup controller especially once you set a scuf up to your preference. i don't think these are cheap controller, in fact i still love it. but the buttons do go out and you will need to know how to at least repair some minor stuff. also the tool box allows me to make my own private mods and trick out the shell and button more than any normal scuf. i've since added several hacks.
