The Scuf Infinity1 lasted me for a good 5 years, no tossing or raging, and it held the test of time. The sad part is that I wasn’t able to repair it as it was far beyond saving as it was out of date, but I’m proud I made that investment. I appreciate the review, I’ll get this one next.

The problem with Scuffs warranty is the expense in the first place vs time. I love Scuff controllers I really do but I had one that broke a year after use and was out of warranty and due them having released a new model and I couldnt source the part I needed and they refused to fix it. So be warned Scuff limit the time they will fix products in.
This comment is important because unfortunately at these price points warranties and durability matters.

Interesting review. I did not know this existed. I have the Elite 2 Xbox controller that I use with the PC. Loving it so far, and this Scuff just doesn't seem "premium" enough for the price. Also, the 6 month warranty is not enough at this price point in my opinion... The official Elite Series 2 controller seems to be a lot better as it comes with a carrying case, built-in battery and more metal in the construction (triggers etc.) just feels more premium. The only thing missing is the colour customisability which I am not too bothered with tbh.
Spot on people need to be careful buying this I would hate for someone to spend that much money for something that won’t last a lot of youtubers and gamers are getting these for free if your not sponsored this company sucks ass
I also got the Series 2 Elite Controller and i think That a changeable Battery is way more premium than a Built-in Battery. If this thing dies you have to completly disassemble the Controller and Hope you Can get a new battery
I disagree wholeheartedly. Having to carry around extra AA batteries in case they run out is not premium at all. Plus, an addition Premium feature of the Elite controllers is that they can charge while stored via the dock/case while not in use. In all my years of gaming, the only batteries that have failed me are the old Xbox 360 plug and charge ones, which were removable and the default setup was AA batteries out of the box. No idea why they went bad, but they just didn't hold charge a few months after I got them. I gave up on the plug and charge kits and went to rechargable AA batteries for that, which was a chore. All the controllers with built in batteries have worked without issue despite multiple charge cycles throughout their life.
The elite controller is great but there is one huge problem with them. That being the sticks have play in them before registering. Particularly the right stick and this is bad for shooters. All of them have this.
I got the elite series 2, 4 months ago i had a problem with disconnecting in wireless and i went to best buy i had purchased the 2 year warranty when i bought it , they gave me a new one. And they told me i can get a new one until the 2 year mark. Best buy all the way in purchasing electronics.
Hmm... MY experience with replacing all 5 of my elites through bestbuy is that they wont just replace it under the 2 year warranty, instead they issue a full refund for the controller, or an exchange for a new one, but this uses up the warranty on the controller, and you need to purchase a NEW 2 year warranty for that new controller. When it was $20 a pop, it was a deal, but its gon up to $60 per exchange, and I am pretty much done with it. I've got to exchange my current one, and in the future I will send it back to MS for repairs while its under the (now longer) warranty, and after that, either do the repairs myself, or be happy with the PowerA Fusion that has the same features in a wired controller at about the cost of just the warranty for the elite.
I'd like to see a tear down and see if Scuf improved the left and right bumpers. The Microsoft Elite controllers have some of the worst quality bumpers, too easy to break.
The magnetic front panel has been used before by the manufacturer PowerA with the Fusion Pro controller. I think it's really good that this idea is now being adopted by other manufacturers. I mean, faster you could only change the sticks with the Elite, but the price, especially if you take another color or like me the church blossom cover, it is really outrageous.

@@arisle4264 I dont know about that. I own a pair and the paddles feel really durable. The whole controller feels better and more durable than any scuf I have ever had. And I have had a few for the PS aswell as the Xbox. I think corsair has had some influence here. They are known for good quality products. But Lets see if I feel the same about this in a year from now.
I'd be very interested to see how strong that magnetic faceplate lasts. Having used an Elite 2 since November last year, I honestly can't imagine this being better than it...plus it's more expensive. Doesn't make sense.
Haven''t heard about this brand before but with those trigger switches you definitely got me! It would be an absolutely gamechanger for call of duty or battlefield! Amazing video as always mate.
I would stay away from Scuf controllers. Their customer support and warranties are terrible. Have a good look at forums and long term reviews on youtube. They don't tend to last very long...
I debated a SCUF heavily but ended up going with an Elite 2 just on the warranty alone. 6 months vs 3 years is a no brainer especially at this price point.
Love this controller. I have the Elite Series 2 controller for my Series X and the usability and feel of it is unmatched. Cant imagine this would be better. Elite has grip material on the front also and it just feels "perfect". If they drop a PS5 version, I will more than likely grab it because I need a pro controller for it. Great review, as always, btw!
@@jasont5009 Any controllers going to have drift issues! Especially if you’re eating food and not taking care of your controllers! You can abuse the hell out of a mouse and keyboard, and it’ll still work.
How come you’re comparing to a $60 standard controller and no comparison to the Xbox Elite controller since its priced at HIGHER than the Elite? The Eiite sounds like it has more customizability and the software that allows you to make all those mappings via a GUI.
I'm leaning towards NO for the following reasons - warranty is too short for such a high price It doesn't seem like you can adjust the sensitivity of the thumbstick like the elite series 2 The price is really high compared to the elite series 2
The trigger features are awesome, trigger stops suck especially in warzone bc if your trying to drive a vehicle u can't go full speed and there is still a delay, this is an absolutely awesome idea
Did you intentionally miss out the price? Makes a MASSIVE difference when giving a review. As this model was the base £189.99 model. Any other colour goes upwards to £260
Scuf offer a 180 day (6 month) warranty. If you’re seeing 2 years mentioned please link it and I’ll update the description. scufgaming.com/uk/limited-warranty
@@PantsaBear my cousin got his play station last year Christmas and in this year March the controllers suddenly got stick drift,but he didn't want to spend money so what he does he presses the right stick and it's temporarily gone until the right stick is moved again
@@morndrewitbooi1896 Tell him to use a cleaner from outside. There's a channel called tronfixx or something like that, I don't remember the name of the cleaner, but the channel should have a whole video dedicated to this.
had a Scuff... Never again. Breaks so often and no replacement controller when it does. You have to wait 12 weeks! to get it repaired. Now on an Elite 2, that thing has zero deadzone... its freaking awesome. Delivered with al kinds op swappable sticks, paddles and even two different D-pads. Everything locks in place magnetically. Feels so nice. The best part? Elite 2 has two years guarantee instead of 6 months of scuff.
These are around the same price as the Xbox elite series 2 controllers, but buy comparison the elite 2's are a little better, at least in my opinion. Mainly because you can map ANY button to the paddles in the back, like the trigger buttons, which really do come in handy in FPS games like warzone. On the flip side this scuf controller comes with a share button, which I really do love using. You can map the share button to the paddles on the back of the elite 2's, but its just not the same. I find myself mistakenly mashing the profile button on the elite 2's alot, confusing it with the share button on the series x controller, its annoying lol.
The elite 2 is NOT worth as much as it sells for. Mine had its bumpers fail in less than a year, had to replace it😒common problem stemming back from the first gen elites
it seems like in the last 2/3 years scuf reliability has gone way way down. ive had my impact since 2017 and it never broke. my mate had the previous ps4 controllers and they never broke, but recent ones break all the time apparently. i prob wouldnt buy scuf again.
@@sithhunter965 My only issues with current (well before this at least) model was the paddles breaking after use but they always sent me free replacements the two times it happened. Now after 2 years the sticks are a little loose but 2 years is a long time for me to use one controller
I had the button attachment for the ds4 and they were a game changer especially for £25 I bought a second hand scuf impact which felt amazing but it struggled with stick drift and the r1 trigger stopped working properly but it was second hand. I will be buying a scuf when they get round to realising one for the ps5 no doubt
@@TWJ1979 I wouldn’t say there junk, everyone is going to have there own experiences with them whether they’re good or bad. I’ll definitely be buying the dualsense version either way
I have both the elite 2 and the scuf controller. I preferred the elite 2 is cheaper, you get more options, it comes with 1 yr warranty and it actually stays connected to my series x. The scuf paddles are weak and it takes longer for them to fix it and it disconnects from my XSX all the time. Made by the same manufacturer but you can really tell the difference about both controllers.
Man, thanks for the video! I was gonna get this controller but you mentioned that I can't map the RT and LT to the back buttons. I hope Scuf will update in the future!
No worries mate. For reference here’s the manual confirming the triggers can’t be mapped to the paddles customercare.scufgaming.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/4407259805965/SCUF_Instinct_Product_Manual.pdf
Really poor experience with scuff in the past found the quality poor. I’ve only ever had one controller in my 30years of gaming break and that was my scuff. And due to only a 3 month warranty they wanted to charge me to fix it. If they improve I may go back to them but would advise people to do some research first.
They had a newer model and so refused hands down to fix my 1 year old Infinity. I loved it the desighns change regulaly and they and Microsoft change controller builds/part frequently. Makes repairs difficult.
I agree because you’re not getting a level of quality commensurate with the cost of the product; cheaper alternatives tend to outlast and outperform scuf products as well.
Personal preference, nothing wrong about. I'd like mouse controll for every console for any TPS/FPS or as option gyro, switch done that good. But it is what it is =/
Thanks for your advice the other day to just jump in and get started with my RUclips channel bro. You’re a big inspiration for me and really love your content! Super sick controller too 😍
I'd like SCUF to make sure their PS5 controllers still have improved haptic feedback and adaptive triggers as well as being able to choose between offset or parallel sticks. If they did that and everything we see on this controller it would definitely get sales
How can they 'improve' haptic feedback and adaptive triggers without completely re-engineering the controller? Completely unrealistic ask unless you want a $400 controller.
@@connorhd3201 I didn't mean that they improve over what the PS5 controller design has already done but rather have the equivalent tech of the PS5 controller design has made, since those are improvements over previous dualshock controllers. It's going to take some work to make the manual button for those hair-triggers to also work with the automatically motorized adaptive triggers, but figuring that out could really make the controller alluring. And SCUF's pro controller can lose the built-in headset since most opt for external ones anyway, giving them a larger budget for the things that only a pro 3rd-party controller would provide. Anyway that's all I meant, with additional dreaming.
$170+ ($200 for the pro) is a hard price tag to digest , but no question Scuff controllers look and probably feels great, hopefully Corsair / Scuff would release some good deals later
Never been into pro controllers before but recently picked up a used Elite 2 in perfect condition and gotta admit I love them lol this one looks nice because of the new series X style 👍
If Scuf made a controller for the PS5 that also has adaptive triggers and the same top notch haptic feedback as the original controller I'd be all over it! Unfortunately this is unlikely to happen. 😔
I own a elite series 2 I'm used to their controllers so I'll probably stick with them. The problem with controllers in general is they haven't changed much in 20 years. Every company deals with stick drift, they are built to live on a short life span. I'm waiting for the RUclips channel " Tech Yesterday " to mass produce his Mouse pad controller , it's a game changer.
The mouse pad controller is simply a lesser version of the Steam Controller. You should really be waiting for Valve to release a pad version of the Steam Deck
@@vaudou_ its not a lesser version it's completely different. The mouse pad control uses a optical sensor from a mouse. The steam controller uses a touchpad which causes major inconsistencies
To each their own but I’ve been through like 4 elite 2s (through warranty) and they break every time, the stick tension adjuster is just a flawed design and always caused massive stick drift. The series x controller is way better design and any controller modded around the series x controller is gonna be better
I used to buy nothing but elites, and have the series 2 and they are by far the worst controller for shooters, the inner dead zone of the elite sticks are so bad they wiggle without any input whatsoever, I believe they purposely have done this to get more repair orders because the stock controller that comes with the Xbox has better stick response than the elite series 2, it might look better and it might be okay for standard games but for shooters it’s by far the worst controller I’ve used, literally makes your aim worse
@@truek1ng7 I know exactly what you mean bruh. Try battle beaver, the series x controller is much better than the Xbox one controllers, and battle beaver has quick picks that are cheap and I love mine 👍🏻
Any chance you’re gonna pick up the Reflex SCUFs for the PS5? SCUF recently opened up customization orders for them as opposed to the drop system they’ve been doing for the Reflex.
Have owned 2 scuf controllers in the past and had problems with both of them within the first 2 days of receiving them and had to send both back for repairs which both times took over 2 weeks before I got my controller back 1 of which i spent over 275 dollars on the customization for a controller for that price point shouldn't have those issues pretty much out of the box won't try my hand a 3rd time on scuf .. Nice video tho
The Razer Wolverine Ultimate has most of these features but It also has 2 more extra buttons, magnetic thumb-sticks and dpad, rgb, an included case, and mechanical abxy buttons, yet it costs around $100 less.....
I play claw my fingers are always over all buttons both hands are claw position I move with my left pointing finger so I have no need for a scuff but this controller looks so good I defs will get one.
they have whats called digital tap triggers on the scuf playstation controllers & they are pretty responsive but they dont have a quick switch so you're kinda limited to shooting games. driving cars with a clicky trigger offers no throttle control
I wish that whatever game you're playing can detect controllers like this and place you in lobbies with only people using the same controller...and people using standard controllers could still play in lobbies and for games that have keyboard and mouse support ...we should have an option if we'd like to play with them or have dedicated keyboard and mouse lobbies ...because these scuf controllers are an advantage and that's why people use them for an advantage....so they shouldn't even be in any of my lobbies ...and if not enough people have the stuff controllers to constantly fill up lobbies that's on you .... but that needs to be the future...we need way more control on who we game with or don't want to game with and what they're using
Looks nice; I wonder how durable it is coz you know, it's Scuf. I tried to build one (non-pro) and it's $220 plus, way too expensive compared to my BBC and it doesn't even tell me how much actuation force is for the sticks.
Not really a big fan of AA batteries but I geuss it's better than an internal battery failing that can't be replaced and I'm sure there's good reachable packs out now
I have used both PS4 and Xbox but I like xbox more because it has very good interface which I personally like and I personally like the xbox games over PS4.
I have a brotherly love for u bro u and I have the same taste in electronics I ordered the ps5 controller you showed from color ware same specs as yours I use color ware quite often I need the black dualsense charging station
Hi man how are you? I'm Mario from Brazil.Can you get me a question? is the size of the scuf controller equal to the Xbox series x controller? or the size of Xbox elite series 2? Thanks
1 Year Warranty vs 6 Month and a lot more Money :) Elite 2 is great when he works right, after the third, i got 1 Year a lot of fun every Day but then comes the right Button. The little plastic in front of the cheap Button. But after fixing it it works great, but i test now the Razor Wolverine Ultimate
Do I Need this controller? No....No I don't, Will I ever buy this controller? No ...No I wouldn't, Did I watch this video to the end because spawnpoiint uploaded it and the video and narration quality is 🔥 YOU BET YOUR I DID!!! 😂😂😤😤
The Microsoft elite controller feels so good in the hand that I buy all third parties for microscoft. But I only have a PS4, Xbox one and Xbox series S. Will be interesting when I play with the PS5 how I like their controller
I got the powera fusion pro controller and it’s $60 and the same thing but a lil different and more accessories and it come w a charger that locks into the controller and the charger does not move at all it soooo good
that controller looks good the fact you can open up completely and be able to clean it inside to prevent drift , or if eventually starts to drift you may be able to fix it, instead of just having to buy another controller.
You can also open up a normal controller, but you need some tools tho.
Not true. The broken stick needs to be soldered out and re solder a new one. Not an easy task at all.

@@arisle4264 I dont know about that. I own a pair and the paddles feel really durable. The whole controller feels better and more durable than any scuf I have ever had. And I have had a few for the PS aswell as the Xbox. I think corsair has had some influence here. They are known for good quality products. But Lets see if I feel the same about this in a year from now.
@@marceldejong7180 What controller you use now?
This Xbox Series X controller is the best controller I've ever seen in my life, it's really amazing
I'd be very interested to see how strong that magnetic faceplate lasts. Having used an Elite 2 since November last year, I honestly can't imagine this being better than it...plus it's more expensive. Doesn't make sense.
I agree 100000%
oh wow, i was thinking it would be a nice alternative to the Elite's ... but not if it's more expensive.
@@krissrock it's the same price of the elite v2 like 180dollars
I do not understand this controller either... The Elite 2 is better overall (features-wise) and costs less.. what is the point lol?
@@livelaurent i guess its about the ability to customize it.
Haven''t heard about this brand before but with those trigger switches you definitely got me! It would be an absolutely gamechanger for call of duty or battlefield! Amazing video as always mate.
i had one its verry nice and scuf is owned by corsair
The elite let’s you do the same thing with the triggers
I would stay away from Scuf controllers. Their customer support and warranties are terrible. Have a good look at forums and long term reviews on youtube. They don't tend to last very long...
true but the paddles are better placed on the scuf@@chloecrabtree7908
I debated a SCUF heavily but ended up going with an Elite 2 just on the warranty alone. 6 months vs 3 years is a no brainer especially at this price point.
I agree, the warranty is a shame.
I really like the paddle design here, I have an elite 2 and for sure would prefer the new scuf paddle design
Love the colour! The instant trigger sounds like beast mode for FPS games! Might have to have a look at these whilst waiting for the Elite Series 3.
Save your money and wait for the series.
theres going to be series 3?
@@ryanbentancor9988 I'd expect there to be a elite 3 at some point to include all the new controller features. Probably a year away at least.
@@Loyalrex tbh I can’t wait year idk this controller looks good
@@Loyalrex holiday 2022 maybe
Love this controller. I have the Elite Series 2 controller for my Series X and the usability and feel of it is unmatched. Cant imagine this would be better. Elite has grip material on the front also and it just feels "perfect". If they drop a PS5 version, I will more than likely grab it because I need a pro controller for it. Great review, as always, btw!
Thank you
Do you have any issues with your instinct pro ? i consider to buy this one but need to know how its hold after few months
elites bumpers are so bad and break easily
Have you had any drift issues with your controller over time
@@jasont5009 Any controllers going to have drift issues! Especially if you’re eating food and not taking care of your controllers! You can abuse the hell out of a mouse and keyboard, and it’ll still work.
Just ordered one of these, I've already got the xbox elite 2. Didn't really need a new one but thought I'd give it a go
Oh nice. Be good to know how you compare them.
How come you’re comparing to a $60 standard controller and no comparison to the Xbox Elite controller since its priced at HIGHER than the Elite? The Eiite sounds like it has more customizability and the software that allows you to make all those mappings via a GUI.
Plus I'm almost 100% sure that it feels even more premium than this all for less money, it's hard to compete with a first party premium controller.
Exactly the elite series 2 controller offers so much more for less whilst being higher quality.
The thing is, the Elite has no customization at all. Thus controller is just a much better version of the Elite or Prestige controllers
The Elite controller is made very poorly on my second one and it's very bad.
@@lukiepookie7037 the elite has more more customisation functionally and ergonomically, this is only more customisable in aesthetics and cost more 😂
I'm leaning towards NO for the following reasons -
warranty is too short for such a high price
It doesn't seem like you can adjust the sensitivity of the thumbstick like the elite series 2
The price is really high compared to the elite series 2
The trigger features are awesome, trigger stops suck especially in warzone bc if your trying to drive a vehicle u can't go full speed and there is still a delay, this is an absolutely awesome idea
so when you use the mouse click triggers, it registers as a full motion press? in considering getting one
@@kamronreis6200 yes
Half way to 200K subs already? crazy.. it wasn't that long ago you was celebrating 100k! well done chap
Thank you dude. I appreciate it.
Did you intentionally miss out the price? Makes a MASSIVE difference when giving a review. As this model was the base £189.99 model. Any other colour goes upwards to £260
😭
Really??!!! Dangg 😳
@@BlackScreen55 scufgaming.com/uk/xbox-instinct-pro-controller?force_store=uk
@@BlackScreen55 it's expensive but you get what you pay for
I think ppl know the shit not cheap
By U.K. consumer law don’t they need to offer 1 year minimum warranty?
They offer 2 year warranty's on all of their controllers.
Scuf offer a 180 day (6 month) warranty. If you’re seeing 2 years mentioned please link it and I’ll update the description. scufgaming.com/uk/limited-warranty
@@SpawnPoiint how exactly does the warranty work?
Hey spownpoiint did your ps controllers ever get stick drift
@@PantsaBear my cousin got his play station last year Christmas and in this year March the controllers suddenly got stick drift,but he didn't want to spend money so what he does he presses the right stick and it's temporarily gone until the right stick is moved again
@@morndrewitbooi1896 Tell him to use a cleaner from outside. There's a channel called tronfixx or something like that, I don't remember the name of the cleaner, but the channel should have a whole video dedicated to this.
@@PantsaBear I Told him that he was like "I really don't play games that much, I'm busy making beats most of the time"
had a Scuff... Never again. Breaks so often and no replacement controller when it does. You have to wait 12 weeks! to get it repaired.
Now on an Elite 2, that thing has zero deadzone... its freaking awesome. Delivered with al kinds op swappable sticks, paddles and even two different D-pads. Everything locks in place magnetically. Feels so nice.
The best part? Elite 2 has two years guarantee instead of 6 months of scuff.
will get it tommorrow
@@naapsuvaimne740 have fun!
@@vesder819 omg lol , i think two years none wanted it , now two weeks ago sameone bougth it . looks like i will get it later ,
These are around the same price as the Xbox elite series 2 controllers, but buy comparison the elite 2's are a little better, at least in my opinion. Mainly because you can map ANY button to the paddles in the back, like the trigger buttons, which really do come in handy in FPS games like warzone. On the flip side this scuf controller comes with a share button, which I really do love using. You can map the share button to the paddles on the back of the elite 2's, but its just not the same. I find myself mistakenly mashing the profile button on the elite 2's alot, confusing it with the share button on the series x controller, its annoying lol.
The elite 2 is NOT worth as much as it sells for. Mine had its bumpers fail in less than a year, had to replace it😒common problem stemming back from the first gen elites
What a good review for people that had no clue bout scuf controllers ❤️
Thank you.
Would be cool if I didn’t know this controller was only gonna last 6 months like every other scuf ever made.
it seems like in the last 2/3 years scuf reliability has gone way way down. ive had my impact since 2017 and it never broke. my mate had the previous ps4 controllers and they never broke, but recent ones break all the time apparently. i prob wouldnt buy scuf again.
@@sithhunter965 My only issues with current (well before this at least) model was the paddles breaking after use but they always sent me free replacements the two times it happened. Now after 2 years the sticks are a little loose but 2 years is a long time for me to use one controller
Reliability is king with controllers. What's the results with this one?
Waiting for Elite Series 3.
2024-25👏
Still waiting…
Just picked one of these up! Can’t wait to use it!
I’ve never owned a Scuf Controller but I might get one for the PlayStation if it comes out…
Great Video 🌟
don't buy scuf.. ull regret it
I had the button attachment for the ds4 and they were a game changer especially for £25 I bought a second hand scuf impact which felt amazing but it struggled with stick drift and the r1 trigger stopped working properly but it was second hand. I will be buying a scuf when they get round to realising one for the ps5 no doubt
Get a Battle Beaver, Scuf are junk.
@@TWJ1979 I wouldn’t say there junk, everyone is going to have there own experiences with them whether they’re good or bad. I’ll definitely be buying the dualsense version either way
I have both the elite 2 and the scuf controller. I preferred the elite 2 is cheaper, you get more options, it comes with 1 yr warranty and it actually stays connected to my series x. The scuf paddles are weak and it takes longer for them to fix it and it disconnects from my XSX all the time. Made by the same manufacturer but you can really tell the difference about both controllers.
Hey spawn, could we see a gameplay of Microsoft flight sim on Xbox pls! Really wanted to see if it was worth it! Great vid btw!
Just try it out on game pass
@@fifabeatle3139 I would but I haven’t actually got the Xbox series x yet! This will make me decide whether to go for the PS5 or the Xbox.
@@BrainLight123 oh ok. If you have a pc. Try it out on there. Good luck trying to find a series x or ps5. Only thing available are the S
Man, thanks for the video! I was gonna get this controller but you mentioned that I can't map the RT and LT to the back buttons. I hope Scuf will update in the future!
No worries mate. For reference here’s the manual confirming the triggers can’t be mapped to the paddles customercare.scufgaming.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/4407259805965/SCUF_Instinct_Product_Manual.pdf
Really poor experience with scuff in the past found the quality poor. I’ve only ever had one controller in my 30years of gaming break and that was my scuff. And due to only a 3 month warranty they wanted to charge me to fix it. If they improve I may go back to them but would advise people to do some research first.
@@IamMxfia cheers pal. Will check them out. I found the scuff was great to use but it was so poorly built I don’t think I’d go back.
They had a newer model and so refused hands down to fix my 1 year old Infinity. I loved it the desighns change regulaly and they and Microsoft change controller builds/part frequently. Makes repairs difficult.
@@IamMxfia consider yourself very lucky then if within 30 years of gaming you have had no controller break on you aside from that one
Same, mine was junk out of the box. Scuf jerked me around long enough that it’s now out of warranty (after a whole 14 days). Never again.
I agree because you’re not getting a level of quality commensurate with the cost of the product; cheaper alternatives tend to outlast and outperform scuf products as well.
After watching this, I'm so happy I went with the steel grey too!
Great choice mate!
Right up there with the Elite in terms of price. I’d be interested to know how it’s durability is as 6 months doesn’t feel like enough warranty.
Just came across your channel and watched about 9 videos, great work! 👍🏼
for some reason the xbox controller layout is really weird for shooter based games... I personally find PS layout much more accurate
Personal preference, nothing wrong about. I'd like mouse controll for every console for any TPS/FPS or as option gyro, switch done that good. But it is what it is =/
Thanks for your advice the other day to just jump in and get started with my RUclips channel bro. You’re a big inspiration for me and really love your content! Super sick controller too 😍
NEVER a Scuff controller again. BREAKS so often and REPAIRS means 12 weeks no controller. Only 6 month Guarantee!!!
So similar to an elite controller ?
@@baleriontheblackdread4491 had elite series 1 for 2 plus years… never a problem
xbox elite 2 comes with 1yr warranty plus the a dedicated app in windows for full customisation.
Looks cool but I can’t trust scuff anymore. Got the scuf prestige with stick drift and battery and connectivity problems out the box
I'd like SCUF to make sure their PS5 controllers still have improved haptic feedback and adaptive triggers as well as being able to choose between offset or parallel sticks. If they did that and everything we see on this controller it would definitely get sales
How can they 'improve' haptic feedback and adaptive triggers without completely re-engineering the controller? Completely unrealistic ask unless you want a $400 controller.
@@connorhd3201 I didn't mean that they improve over what the PS5 controller design has already done but rather have the equivalent tech of the PS5 controller design has made, since those are improvements over previous dualshock controllers.
It's going to take some work to make the manual button for those hair-triggers to also work with the automatically motorized adaptive triggers, but figuring that out could really make the controller alluring.
And SCUF's pro controller can lose the built-in headset since most opt for external ones anyway, giving them a larger budget for the things that only a pro 3rd-party controller would provide.
Anyway that's all I meant, with additional dreaming.
$170+ ($200 for the pro) is a hard price tag to digest , but no question Scuff controllers look and probably feels great, hopefully Corsair / Scuff would release some good deals later
I like that controller but why they dont have a removable battery pack included?
Do all the instinct controllers come with the domed sticks in the accessories? Just wondering if that was custom ordered or not.
Thanks!
They do
Never been into pro controllers before but recently picked up a used Elite 2 in perfect condition and gotta admit I love them lol this one looks nice because of the new series X style 👍
If Scuf made a controller for the PS5 that also has adaptive triggers and the same top notch haptic feedback as the original controller I'd be all over it! Unfortunately this is unlikely to happen. 😔
Or if it does it will be pricy
I own a elite series 2 I'm used to their controllers so I'll probably stick with them. The problem with controllers in general is they haven't changed much in 20 years. Every company deals with stick drift, they are built to live on a short life span. I'm waiting for the RUclips channel " Tech Yesterday " to mass produce his Mouse pad controller , it's a game changer.
The mouse pad controller is simply a lesser version of the Steam Controller. You should really be waiting for Valve to release a pad version of the Steam Deck
@@vaudou_ its not a lesser version it's completely different. The mouse pad control uses a optical sensor from a mouse. The steam controller uses a touchpad which causes major inconsistencies
The elite controller just looks more premium and better in general.
To each their own but I’ve been through like 4 elite 2s (through warranty) and they break every time, the stick tension adjuster is just a flawed design and always caused massive stick drift. The series x controller is way better design and any controller modded around the series x controller is gonna be better
@@Tdog999x hopefully the new elite's are based off the series x controller
I used to buy nothing but elites, and have the series 2 and they are by far the worst controller for shooters, the inner dead zone of the elite sticks are so bad they wiggle without any input whatsoever, I believe they purposely have done this to get more repair orders because the stock controller that comes with the Xbox has better stick response than the elite series 2, it might look better and it might be okay for standard games but for shooters it’s by far the worst controller I’ve used, literally makes your aim worse
@@truek1ng7 I know exactly what you mean bruh. Try battle beaver, the series x controller is much better than the Xbox one controllers, and battle beaver has quick picks that are cheap and I love mine 👍🏻
i used to build and repair these
they were awesome fixing up productions mess LOL
I hope u don’t think ur better then me
Not a Xbox fan, but nice Vid bruh. From PR island 🏝️
I have really bad experience with scuf controllers.. they r just cheap gimmicks.. just bought once.. deleted that brand from my life forever
It gets a like from me because it comes with convex sticks for you to swap. I HATE concave thumbsticks, new controllers feel terrible on my thumbs.
Really helpful and informative thank you 😊
Thank You for all of your videos that you did. I am enjoying all of them
Great video!!! Thinking about getting an Instinct myself. Hey would you happen to have a link for that wooden controller stand?! Very cool.
Any chance you’re gonna pick up the Reflex SCUFs for the PS5? SCUF recently opened up customization orders for them as opposed to the drop system they’ve been doing for the Reflex.
Yes, I actually have one already. Will be doing a review over the coming week or two.
Nice overview. Quick and to the point, it’s why I keep coming back to this channel
I had 3 scuff controllers in 5 weeks. All suffering from drifting. There quality control has alot to be desired
All for £200 ... wow ... shocking really.
Nice video! 🔥 Might pick this one up, looks like a great controler 🎮
Have owned 2 scuf controllers in the past and had problems with both of them within the first 2 days of receiving them and had to send both back for repairs which both times took over 2 weeks before I got my controller back 1 of which i spent over 275 dollars on the customization for a controller for that price point shouldn't have those issues pretty much out of the box won't try my hand a 3rd time on scuf .. Nice video tho
Love this color. Amazing video man
That controller is pretty dope bro and I’m a fan of that color you grabbed looks stealthy great video like always
U should compare it to aimcontroller and battle beaver
This looks better than the xbox elite I wish scuff added more metal and the adjustable analogue sticks tho I like the heavier stick feeling
The Razer Wolverine Ultimate has most of these features but It also has 2 more extra buttons, magnetic thumb-sticks and dpad, rgb, an included case, and mechanical abxy buttons, yet it costs around $100 less.....
I play claw my fingers are always over all buttons both hands are claw position I move with my left pointing finger so I have no need for a scuff but this controller looks so good I defs will get one.
I'd love to be able to play claw, I just can't do it/
they have whats called digital tap triggers on the scuf playstation controllers & they are pretty responsive but they dont have a quick switch so you're kinda limited to shooting games. driving cars with a clicky trigger offers no throttle control
bro imagine using the paddles as paddle shifters in f1 games, that would be sick
Just got mine last night
How do you drive a vehicle at full speed with trigger stops??
Idk but on the elite controller it still worked but the prestige didnt very sad
Ordered mine 3 hours after they became available and it's still in the processing stage.
I’m wondering why you would use standard batteries, recharge always!
Damn they really stepped up their game
We'll see about that. They were garbage on the PS4 and Xbox One.
Nice video as always Chris. Something different. Didn't even know that something like this even existed. 👍
I wish that whatever game you're playing can detect controllers like this and place you in lobbies with only people using the same controller...and people using standard controllers could still play in lobbies and for games that have keyboard and mouse support ...we should have an option if we'd like to play with them or have dedicated keyboard and mouse lobbies ...because these scuf controllers are an advantage and that's why people use them for an advantage....so they shouldn't even be in any of my lobbies ...and if not enough people have the stuff controllers to constantly fill up lobbies that's on you .... but that needs to be the future...we need way more control on who we game with or don't want to game with and what they're using
Looks nice; I wonder how durable it is coz you know, it's Scuf. I tried to build one (non-pro) and it's $220 plus, way too expensive compared to my BBC and it doesn't even tell me how much actuation force is for the sticks.
BBC is the way to go. Bought one for my Xbox two weeks after buying a Prestige. Total junk.
Not really a big fan of AA batteries but I geuss it's better than an internal battery failing that can't be replaced and I'm sure there's good reachable packs out now
*Sigh* I’m currently shipping my second(replacement) Elite 2 controller back due to the bumper sticking. such a shame
what i don’t get is how these are only problems on the elite controllers and not the normal ones, like what makes them so much more unreliable?
I have used both PS4 and Xbox but I like xbox more because it has very good interface which I personally like and I personally like the xbox games over PS4.
I have a brotherly love for u bro u and I have the same taste in electronics I ordered the ps5 controller you showed from color ware same specs as yours I use color ware quite often I need the black dualsense charging station
I wonder how comfortable are the back buttons to press, two rests easily behind the fingertip but the ones on the full back of the controller... :/
Hi man how are you? I'm Mario from Brazil.Can you get me a question? is the size of the scuf controller equal to the Xbox series x controller? or the size of Xbox elite series 2? Thanks
I pressed that like button even before the Video started , as usual amazing one.
1 Year Warranty vs 6 Month and a lot more Money :) Elite 2 is great when he works right, after the third, i got 1 Year a lot of fun every Day but then comes the right Button. The little plastic in front of the cheap Button. But after fixing it it works great, but i test now the Razor Wolverine Ultimate
Do I Need this controller? No....No I don't, Will I ever buy this controller? No ...No I wouldn't, Did I watch this video to the end because spawnpoiint uploaded it and the video and narration quality is 🔥 YOU BET YOUR I DID!!! 😂😂😤😤
Dude I just got my custom Xbox Design Labs controller. Literally the same color scheme. Except my D-Pad is pewter silver.
The Microsoft elite controller feels so good in the hand that I buy all third parties for microscoft. But I only have a PS4, Xbox one and Xbox series S. Will be interesting when I play with the PS5 how I like their controller
could we see a cable management video, please
I got the powera fusion pro controller and it’s $60 and the same thing but a lil different and more accessories and it come w a charger that locks into the controller and the charger does not move at all it soooo good
Can I put prestige anolog stick on it like the regular ones so I can use kontrol freeks ?
