Scuf Instinct Pro Review-The Most Anticipated Controller of 2021
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2024
- With the instinct and instinct pro, scuf has gone from one of the worse paddle designs in premium controller history, to one of the best. After the recent acquisition from corsair, quality control has been tightened up, and tons of R&D have been done to ensure a better rear button design That is more durable, and all four buttons can be covered simultaneously. With the pro model you get premium rubber grips, and trigger locks that are legitimately a mechanical mouse click.

You and LeonLush have taken up most of my time on RUclips! Thank you for such in-depth and fun content to binge watch :)
Appreciate the humor and effort you put into the video man. Keep doing your thing!
Thanks Frank
New viewer - loved the review and the sense of humor you brought to it! I was deciding between a Scuf and Elite 2 - review definitely helped me make the decision!! 👌🏻
Time for the update on your experience with this controller. I just bought one today. Thank you!
Now I want a SCUF Instinct Pro, the paddle positions on the previous versions are the reason I haven't used them before, you can't beat the paddle placement on the Elite 2!!!! Thank you for the information!!!!
I have one this controller it's like diamond 💎
@@Chris-Christian I know this video is old but I’m disabled with weak hands, how hard is it to click the paddles? I have a Elite Series 2 and really like it buuuuuuuut the paddles can be to hard to press sometimes
The Mouse Click Triggers and the overall design are the main reasons for me why I got the Scuf Instinct Pro. Beautiful device.
Your intro is top tier, hooked me into the vid right away.
I had a scuf for my ps4. And I didn't ever have any problems covering the old style. But I can't wait for the new controller for my series x.
Hands down, The funniest dude who's ever done a Review on RUclips. Easy sub for me!
Aye 4:30 had me rolling for some reason lol, love these reviews tho man! 🤣💯💯
Ngl never seen u before but I love ur enthusiasm 🤣sound like a great person to hang with
I personally chose the curved-in elongated right thumb stick in the customization menu but it didn’t cost anything extra which is good.
I have 2 of them. I love them and haven't had any issues with them.
I just got a instinct pro and I LOVE it. For me the paddles feel really good and I didn’t even have to change my hand placement to fit with the paddles. It’s definitely not worth the price but if you have the money I would suggest getting it.
Yo it is a bwu fan
The impact paddles were a thing of beauty
Just purchased an instinct pro, previously had a scuf infinity and before that I built my own. Personally I liked the paddles from the prestige. The instinct I am having to retrain my grip because in my opinion the buttons are too low. I do like the tall domed stick came in the box and I didn’t have to buy them. I’ve used evil sticks tall stick forever for the right stick. Personally still prefer the evil stick and think it feels better but I got use to the scuf tall domed.
You did a SHITTY job at explaining how to map and remap. The instruction book is more explainable. Your explanation is rushed and sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo.
Those trigger stops sound like something really amazing.
you my man got a sub, spitting facts and straight to the point👍
Such a great review!
I bought the exact same controller, the Holiday Bundle and I prefer the gray face plate too.
How is it holding up? No major issues? I’m looking to buy one, but trying to get opinions from the average consumer before making the purchase.
@@lvrusty9430 get one today it's 201 total and that's included shipping and taxes
Is the face plate grippy or plastic
@@lvrusty9430 stick drift... like all of them...
@@ISRL380 soft touch paint or like you said, grippy.
Subbed, you did forget to mention the wired thing about the cord being a bit short as a downside at the end of your video...
Anyway, very nice and complete reviews !
Would I be able to use the standard plastic battery port cover or would I be stuck with the magnetic one I don’t wanna have to buy more rechargeable packs if I don’t have to
I have a question if anyone could answer. I have an elite series 2 and I really like their bottom two paddles design. Does this controller feel around the same in regards to the bottom paddles?
“No, she’s already charged up on that” 😂😂😂😂 I literally subbed because of that line 😂
I bought this controller partly because of this review thanks!
Scuf doesn’t make a product that justifies the OUTRAGEOUS price they set forth.
That depends on your experience with the controller. I’ve been using mine over a month since around the time the MWII beta weekend 2 and it is the best pro/custom controllers I’ve had the chance to use.
I love my prestige my only complaint has been the weak paddles. I only use one paddle so when it breaks I have to buy a whole new set just to replace the one. Other than that it has been great the last few years I don’t remember when I purchase it exactly.
I just ordered a pro. 🤷♂️ I can't wait. It's going to take over a month to get though, so that sucks.
@@Love_N_Let_Live Exact same dude, arriving by Jan 16th
@@generaleccentric5506 So how is it so far?
How do the thumbsticks compare to standard xbox controller ones? ive always preffered the standard ones.
Do you need the one finger to hit the buttons or can I place one finger on each button??
On my Elite series 2 or 1 I can use 2 paddles at once example in halo jump and slide with back trigger, can you do 2 inputs on the same back side trigger at the same time?
Small detail on the Elite Series 2 trigger stop, the controller remaps the analog output of the trigger so you still get a full range with its shortest trigger stop. That is better than a simple piece of plastic blocking its movement.
With the plastic stops you can't charge a plasma pistol in halo or drive a vehicle in warzone from my experience thats why I have an elite series 2 now.
@@Yittups I have 2 Elite S.2 and can use them on any game. Total cap as far as not being able to use the plasma pistol or drive
@@josephraymond3180 yeah the elite series 2 can do those things I was agreeing with his comment about plastic stops like in the fusion pro controllers.
Great vid! Still waiting on the Razer Wolverine V2 review…
Good review thanks
Love all the old consoles you have, nice game pad😊
I use the elite series 2, is hitting the inside button hard to get used to or just takes time to adjust
Hello! Just wondering what you used to mount your controllers in the background of the start of the video?
What do you recommend as a better controller the scuff instinct pro vs the Microsoft elite 2?
Great video
Everyone on YT is so hyped exited about this controller. What’s more important everyone recommends it. I admit that these paddles look better than elite 2 where I can use only two of them. Anyway six months warranty only 4 analogs and no tension option for analogs mean that this controller is waaay to expensive.
Can someone explain how switch the thumb stick clicking. There’s a way to make it where you don’t have to click it to sprint. It’s just pressure and I can’t figure out how.
I’m going to buy a paddled controller which would you recommend as best on the market for price and quality
great video!!
This past September I received my Scuf Instinct controller. It took 5 weeks to get to me and I live near Toronto, Canada. My right thumbstick just broke (December) and refuses to work, I play cod religiously and have never mistreated my controller. It took 3 months to break now I am going to have to deal with at least two months of sending it back then waiting on the return fixed product. If I knew about the Xbox Elite V2 at my local Walmart I would of never spent $300 Canadian on the scuf controller. In my opinion based on my experience it is over priced and you're better off finding the Xbox Elite V2 or just learning Mouse and Keyboard and saving yourselves money and time. Best of luck!
Do the XYAB buttons have shorter travel? Is there any controller that has shorter travel for the XYAB buttons?
Sorry if you mentioned this and I didn’t catch it, but if you’re using the Instinct Pro with the triggers set to mouse-click mode, is the trigger click equivalent to fully pulling the trigger on a stock controller? My problem with the PowerA Fusion Pro is when I’m playing Warzone with the trigger stops in and I go to drive a vehicle, it’s only like a 50% trigger pull so the car is only moving at half speed.
Shouldn't you be able to change the trigger pull on the fusion pro as well?
Idk if you got the answer to this yet but there might be a setting for trigger dead zone. I don’t play COD but it’s in halo. You’ll want to lower that setting to the lowest you can.
i have instict pro, my inner right paddle or button i guess is sticking. it is no longer clicky, is that from wear and tear or is there a way to possibly clean it?
I’ve had mine since Xmas and I have I love it it’s my favorite pro controller so far but now I have stick drift on the left stick so bad that I’d I turn up my dead zone to 45 I still have stick drift
How do you get better packaging with a £80 power a fusion pro 2. Nicer box and a hard case to keep it all in.
Your amazing "ill take care of you sweetheart"🤣🤣made my day bro
Glad to hear that
I look forward to that review 6 months later! Mine just came in today & I’ve never had a controller with back buttons/paddles so it’s a crazy new experience
It's guaranteed your game will improve but one thing I can tell you is that you'll never play comfortably without the back paddles again
how long did it take to come in?
@@Diddy1682 About a month😅
@@Randall7 oh no lol
This was my first controller with paddles literally can’t go back to regular controller the mouse click triggers make a big difference too
ive been looking into this controller because im trying to change because rn i have the xbox elite series 2 and its good but the main problem i have with it is after so many months the bumpers just stop working and it pisses me off and it forces me to buy a new one from what im seeing this controller looks really good and just might have to buy it
How do the bumper buttons hold up? I got elite series 2 and the rb stopped working
Been thinking about controllers to replace my aging controllers and was considering this one, but the one question I've had is Steam on PC can use the rear triggers of an elite controller as separate inputs from the ones normal to an xbox controller, does anybody know if this can be used the same?
Is there any way to disable right stick click or remap it?
Can you please compare this controller to the elite series controllers.?
Sorry new to this channel and not commenting on your new video but wow your living room setup or gaming setup is amazing. Can we get a tour?
Thank you, and yes. I would like to do a video like that soon
Will the scuf have the same dead zone as the standard series X controller?
haha your a funny dude thanks for your service happy holidays brother
great review. The trigger stop click option sounds amazing.
hi, so you think scuf instinct pro has the best trigger? have you tried hex, evil, battle beaver or the elite 2?
@@gummybear41283 Hey man I have tried practically every controller on the market from Battle Beaver, Scuf, Elite 2, Evil controller, Aim and Hex gaming I have returned them all except for the Battle Beaver and this Scuf Instinct. I believe that Battle Beaver has the best smart triggers but the downside is that you are stuck with that trigger throughout the lifetime of the controllers. With that being said the Scuf instinct’s paddle design is pretty good not the best but I think the selling point for this controller are those triggers they are amazing and imo one of the best implemented trigger stops to ever be made. You can turn them on off whenever and or mix match if that what you desire overall it gives you options and you get the best of both world’s.
@@miguelnavarro4472 so Battle Beaver and Sucf instinct pro are best?
@@gummybear41283 Yes this is my opinion but it’s of matter of what you prefer more buttons like on the Battle Beaver or Paddles also what games you play more often FPS and or a variety of genres
@@gummybear41283 my best recommendation would be to buy a Scuf instinct from Amazon and give it try if you don’t like it then return it they have free 30 day returns. The one downside about Battle Beaver is that their wait times are terrible I had to wait roughly 3 months for my controller.
I subscribed just because you showed a picture of sloth from goonies 😆. Great review, it's either this or the elite for me.
I know this video is old but I’m disabled with weak hands, how hard is it to click the paddles? I have a Elite Series 2 and really like it buuuuuuuut the paddles can be to hard to press sometimes
The controller not having integrated battery isn't really a problem when the controller will go out before the batteries ever do.
What controller would you say is best for fps? And not caring about price
Can I have the link for those rechargeable batteries please?
Nice review
I need a link for the rechargeable batteries
DUDE YOUR CHANNEL IS SO UNDERRATED
Thanks Chris !
Does the mute button on the controller work with wireless headset? Or only for wired headsets?
I use the controller where my middle fingers are on the trigger and my pointer fingers are on the bumpers. Would I still be able to use the paddles on the back without too much trouble? I’ve used it this way for years so to change would be near impossible.
This way seems so odd to me. I wish I could do it. My spare digits rest nicely on the elite 2 bumpers but still find it hard to coordinate the presses as I’m used to using them as L1/R1
Did your scuf ship from Taiwan? Ordered from the website and a month almost a month later it’s stuck in Alaska lol still waiting for my controller.
what its better for fn scuf reflex pro or scuf instinct pro?
One quick question is the x a b y mouse clicky too or just the triggers ?
Heads up, got mine today and popped on my kontrolfreek on the right lower stick with no issues. It should work for you guys. Just make sure to get the xbox ones
What’s the best paddle system in your opinion
Regarding batteries you can go one better and just buy rechargeable batteries, you can use them in your controller and in other devices as well, you're not restricted to only charging the controller by the custom charging pack
Aye this guy is actually kinda funny, really had me snickering on the other side of these comments
subscribed. where is the battery link?
Huge concern for me, I just got my instinct pro and I don’t like how stiff the triggers are right out the box. Do they get easier to click over time? I’m used to the elite series 2 triggers and they’re super easy to pull. Thanks in advance!
Such a great point ! i just bought mine to. Coming from a elite series 2 owner the learning curve for me is the triggers i feel like i’m pressing them but don’t know if i am because how stiff they are lol. Overall a really great controller
what controller has the best back paddles, in your opinion?
Sorry I don’t expect a response but was going to ask what the thumb stick tension is like on this controller? I am used to the ps4 controller stick tension and switched to Xbox and can’t get used to the loose sticks. I am one of those cringe max sens snipers on COD lol. Was wondering if you think the sticks are a bit tighter than the series controllers!
bro this man is amazing
6 months warranty is because all the problems come later. I bought a custom prestige for series x last march ,after 6 or 7 months the so called lithium battery won't charge properly and not to mention the amount of replacement paddles I had to buy , and today it keeps coming up connect controller while I'm in the middle of a game,so the 6 month warranty is to basically rip people off ,most big company's are like that, yet I'm sitting here debating whether to buy the instinct Pro and wondering if im going to feel let down after a couple of months playing ,, if anyone has any suggestions of different controller companies to recommend I'd greatly appreciate it ,I play for warzone only so as most of you Cod players know the paddles and other buttons get a beating over time
Best reviews fr
It feels an plays great I can confirm ! Let’s hope it holds up
It didn’t hold up. Completely lost left analog just about 6 months later. Oh an the b button was shot after about 2 months. Sad cause I liked the feel of it. But back to the elite 2 for me.
How long did it take you to receive your controller?
one of my paddles broke i sent it back to get fixed (with warranty) took over a month. about 2 months later if that another paddle broke on the opposite side. (warranty expired now) sigh….
Does remapping the paddle buttons deactivate the original button? If not, is there a way to manually deactivate the original button?
No
Does the series 2 sticks work on the scuf?
How is the instinct if you claw grip?
5 months and right stick drift is ridiculous. I’ve seen this slot already too
Question, can you turn off the paddles?
Can you use this wireless on a pc?
Glad I came across this. Dudes funny
Stick drift? I have an elite series 2 and it’s caught bad stick drift and I’m in the market for a new controller
My controller fell off my desk when my headphone cord wrapped around my chairs arm. I only had it for like 2 months. The first drop my back button broke. I was super happy when I got this remote but bc the way the buttons are made they are very weak
Is the front panel grippy or plastic 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🫵🏻
If the scuf had options for stick tension it would be damn near perfect. Give me an elite series 2 weight and feel along with the adjustable tension, with the scuf paddles, triggers and such ohhhhhh baby. Perfection.
Are there like Xbox dongles for PC?
Guess I'm asking options to connect to pc besides the cord?
If Nope then what's the best "Cheapest"👈 dongle PC Controller? I know you have vids on them👍but maybe you have found something new🤔
Yes! There is and I just actually got one myself and it is sweet. It pairs just like a controller to an xbox and you can turn the controller on and off as you please, and have up to 8 paired at a time (not for multiplayer but like different controllers you use so you dont have to pair them each time). I linked it below, I was a little wary because its 25 bucks but in my opinion it is worth it. Do NOT by generic 3rd party ones they use bluetooth not Xbox wireless which is a dedicated radio wave.

@@GamerHeavenOfficial Nice Bro TY
👊🥳
Weird question, but how’s the thumbstick tension? How would you say it compares to a standard Series controller?
Not Weird...He will Love this question🤗
probably the same. the analogs are the same as the series controllers
CAn you do a extreme rate trigger review
Any stick drift problems?
I have had the scuff instinct pro for about a week now, and so far, my left stick just stops working randomly and then fixes itself. And the right stick will go by its self quickly. I belive I have a defective one I'm sending it back for a new one to give it a second try. Because I love the mouse click triggers and the rear buttons. Plus the grip is very nice.
Yeah that definitely sounds like a defective unit, let me know how scuf /Corsair handles the return process
@@GamerHeavenOfficial I actually purchased the controller through Amazon. They have already issued my replacement and I should receive it today I'll let you know how it plays out
That sucks to hear. I have 2 Instinct Pro controllers and they have been working flawlessly
@@cstayton09 How did the replacement end up working out?
