As a casual player it took a couple years for me to convince myself investing $160+ on a controller was a good idea. I had problems from day 1 and the rear triggers completely took a shit a month after the warranty expired. Good on you for giving an honest review, I get so tired of seeing sponsored streamers brag about Scuf's quality when I know they're lying out their asses.
Yo honestly this only happen to Americans, so I have saw people have this controller for 6 years and under. Honestly this controller is bad for ragers if you are don’t get it, if you get it you need to take good care of it or it’s going to brake
I had to send my scuf back about 4 times no joke because different buttons and thumb sticks randomly stopped working, and like you said it worked for about 2-3 days after the fix and that’s it. I feel like Scuf puts more quality into the ones they make for the RUclipsrs who advertise them, because I don’t believe they never got problems with them if they were being delivered the bullshit we get.
TheRealBen CoD facts man, I watched one huge streamer playing Warzone and mid gameplay he was switching like 5 of his scufs and each had a different problem
@@byrdreciever Mine lasted a good couple of years, but when I purchased one near the end of last year, i had so many issues - When you compare the controller I got with the one I purchased a couple of years ago, you can see some differences - it's weird. Good luck though if you purchase again and have the same thought as me, " My first one was great, next one will be too" - that thought was sadly, very sadly, wrong :( :(
This guy looks like he's really rough on his controller. melting the frickin stick off in two weeks? I've had a scuf for years, YEARS! Almost 4 years. And throughout the time Ive had it, none of these issues happened to me. I play games regularly everyday too. The only problem I had was slight stick drift. But honestly all you have to do is clean it. Takes 2 minutes tops. This guy man, his controller looks like it's been through hell, and beat up. You can't just melt of the stick material in a few weeks. thats bs. Ive only been through 1 stick. it was my left analog after 2 years.... Please dont listen too this guy. Scuf makes a great controller and if you play everyday it is soooo beneficial, and its well worth the price. It just bothers me when I see these people talking bad about a company and he probably hasn't even properly cleaned it yet. I get that it can be annoying for such an expensive controller, just to have to clean it, but I mean really. It does only take about 2 minutes. And you only have to clean it about once(ONCE) every 6 months to a year. The only catch with scuf controllers is the fact that people don't properly use them. To get a stick to stick to the side like this guy's, you have to throw it or smash it on the ground. And your thumb isnt that hot to melt the material on the sticks, thats just bs. Like I said I did have that problem but they sale literal 8-10 thumbsticks on the website for around 5 bucks. Its a great material for gaming, because it's a softer plastic than any other controller but thats why it wears a little easier. And 10 thumbsticks(5 for each analog stick) will easily last you your entire gaming time. Like I said I bought thumbstick replacements with my controller because they were so cheap, and Ive only worn out 1. And ngl I was spamming it all the time because I play stick and move cod. You can imagine how often you jump in cod so there you go. And lastly scuf just makes everything better than every other brand out there. The though that they have put into their products is insane, and really I think that if you take at least some care of your shit, scuf controllers will last years just like mine. I put some thought into it, and was going to try and make a video but It wouldn't get very much attention at all so just take something away from reading this comment then. And ps, Digital triggers are amazing for anyone who wants to try them. I will say that they are the best addition to any controller ever.
I feel like most of you guys reviewing this controller are way too rough on them. If your sticks are getting turned and pushed hard enough to rub the rubber off you’re probably going a little too hard. These things are responsive, the harder you jam left/right/up/down doesn’t make you aim quicker or turn harder/faster. And you act like that because this is a $250 controller you shouldn’t have to replace parts, welp, if you beat the thing you can expect to replace things.
I would agree if the scuf didn’t advertise “high performance” and “pro-level controller”. I know a few pro players and these guys practice for hours and hours at a time every day. You would think the controllers would be build to withstand that level of stress. Games now a days are designed to be fast paced and needing quickness on the sticks. PS4 controllers outliving scuf seems a little bit odd to me
Savage I understand that professional gamers need to play for extended times but like I said the controllers are responsive and don’t need excessive force to respond. I’ve watched dudes twist the controller turning corners like it’s helping them move quicker, same as the ones I’ve seen jam the sticks in every angle like they need that to respond. True pro players finesse imo. These are replaceable parts too no? Like brakes on a car they need to be maintained they’re not going to last 4 years without replacement.
Keagan S. You’re an idiot. Lol. It’s called an investment. Replacing brakes on a car , fuckin AC problems, exhaust problems..when you dropped 80-100K on a car because that’s the mathematical breakdown on a traditional 40-50 dollar controller to a 350 dollar controller.. then you’re not gettin what you paid for.. and it’s true.. I was about to buy one of these fuckin things and the same shit happened to my boy.. sad af that they have some good shit and features but they’re actual dogshit controllers.. oh and tellin people to be light on their sticks is pretty ridiculous as well lol...
i agree with what you say but also everyone's scuff problems are different the way some of these problems occur might not be the players fault some yes some no but I get where your coming from
Anyone else have the problem where they need to remove the friction ring around the sticks because they cant move/sprint properly because it blocks the stick from hitting the end of the dead zone?
I had the same problem, I discovered that the stick gets a bit stuck by the secure ring, because the ring wears down and the residue increases friction. I fixed it with a little bit of Vaseline on the inside of the ring. It acts as a lubricant. It's been two months now. Works flawlessly. Before it was unplayable
My scuff impact is still working great. Had it for 6 months now. The rubbers on the thumb sticks did come apart tho. But that was it. No stick drift. Works great and I love it!!!
I have a scuf prestige and have had all the same issues OUT OF THE BOX. Scuf customer services are horrendous too. I contacted them with evidence of all the issues on the day that I received the controller requesting a replacement and they refused. They said that I could have a repair but not a replacement. My argument was that fresh out the box for £200 I should have a fully working NEW machine - not a repaired faulty one. They have since completely stopped responding to my support tickets. I even said that I would ship the broken controller back at my cost once they sent me shipping confirmation of a replacement. Nope. I got so irate that I submitted 30 support tickets for the same issues... no response as of yet. I will never ever buy another scuf product and I highly recommend that you don't either.
Ive had mine for 3yrs and everything is fine putting up 4000 hrs a year. The only thing is ive had it fixed 8 times and the problem was the stick drift every single time.
@@34Dame i had to send it back to scuf but i wish i knew how to do it myself. Id probably save alot on shipping. There is a video of it on RUclips but i haven't really gave it an effort to follow through.
@@34Dame on their website click on the search bar and type in repairs or upgrade and they will give u instructions but the downside is they fix them base on order number which means if there is 20 people ahead of u then you'll have to WAIT your turn.
SCUF sponsored people: best controller never breaks joysticks are the best. Other people:It’s overrated, overpriced and overhyped and is to weak and breaks. Me:WHO SHOULD I TRUST
i have three SCUFs. not sponsored, just play everyday, mostly shooters. have had nothing but problems. they look and feel great when they work. for the price, the quality is very cheap and not durable. they also have a proprietary security screw on the impact and infinity that prohibit users doing their own repair and maintenance. you have to send them off registered mail. trigger stops are cheap plastic tabs and digital triggers (which feel great) are also super fragile and once they're broken your fuxxed. i've sent them for repair many times and they've been returned not to spec and not actually fixed. i wished i'd known how poorly these are made and that i can't do my own repairs. honestly i think i'll just buckle down and learn claw and say f*** it to custom controllers. believe who you want but i wished i'd known all this before i had invested so much money.
They are weak due to ragers. Treat them like they are meant to be treated. If you smashed a 200 dollar phone into the ground it would break, why would a 200 dollar controller be different. Treat it like the money it costs.
this goes to show large companies don’t care about the consumer. we come in and out like the seasons, they only care about the bottom line. If we stop buying Scufs or Elites, someone else just begins the process for the first time. It’s a sad cycle that benefits Scuf and Microsoft , not the millions of gamers.
I’ve had my impacts for 2 years now no problems. I recommend not getting all the trigger stop garbage it’s just gimmicks. I have a 3.2 kd using normal triggers.
@@fsauvlr so true. I'm on my 3rd regular PlayStation controller and it lasted about 2 months before stick drift. PlayStation controllers are garbage. One of the 3 also does the thing where it starts aiming all over the place on its own without any input. I honestly don't think it's scuf but rather the stock PlayStation controller they use as their base
@@JWSoul guess you got lucky or you just don't notice it. One controller is very minor and I only notice it playing fifa taking a free kick, you gotta be very steady with the left stick and it jumps all over the place. Though with that same controller on cod it's unnoticeable because its the left stick not the right. And yes I've compared it to a brand new controller, it's the stick not my shakey hands. So far my 4th controller has lasted about 5 or so months without any issues.
I ordered me a scuff a month ago haven’t gotten it back yet but I’m getting scared from all the complaints. I had a battle beaver but the left stick finally went out after 3 years. I loved it but I wanted to try out the scuff. I’m starting to think I should’ve went back to battle beaver.
Tyler Beldock hows your controller so far? I ordered mine September 19 abt 4 days ago it’s coming in 1-2 days and I’m really nervous abt all the bad reviews the same controller I’m getting. How’s yours as if right now?
Jaytheeemu YT I do like it but one of my sticks started sticking almost right away and I had to clean it. I use it when I play but I probably won’t buy another until I start hearing reviews are better. I like it better than my regular PlayStation controller
Jaytheeemu YT dude I got mine in June, within 5 days my back left bumper was sliding in and out, my L3 (left joystick) was already worn out and giving me issues w sprint in cod, and my L2 stopped working... sending this thing in for warranty is horrendous
I understand you’re deal with scuff. Had issues as well. But what controller would you advice? Battle beaver, Astro,Xbox elite ??. That would be a good peace of advice. Thank you in advance
Aim controllers. I just got one from them for ps5. They costumize original controllers for either ps5/ps4 or any of the Xbox series. It take a bit of time to get use to the controller, reason for is that they're costumize orginial controllers with paddles on the back, takes up a bit of holding space but they're good. Lifetime warranty and all....
Aim controllers definetly great quality and they have great prices and if you want it faster you can choose speedy aim and if you want smart bumpers smart triggers and the back buttons itll cost 220 in total I received mine in 7 days
Drift is terrible. All controllers have it. I play with joycons on the switch. Those last like a week. I’m used to drift. $80 for practically dog sticks. And you CANNOT take them out. I think I may buy it. I think you can put on standard sticks so I will put those on. Warranty and everything. This video is useful.
This is exactly why I’m just buying a Bigbigwon R100 adapter and an elite series 2 controller for my PlayStation 4, While the elite series 2 has its own set of problems. I’ve had far better experience with Microsoft controllers than I do the DS4, and almost every review I see of these scuf controllers are negative, and after the countless stories I’ve read I’d rather not. Plus I’m not going to spend shipping on a 200 dollar product Or 15 for a charging cable Or 15 for a hard case Or 100+ extra for these fancy features that I can get already with the elite 2 for much cheaper. And Im not paying 300~ish for a controller that 9/10 stories and reviews I hear say it breaks within a month, takes 6+months with customer support to “f I x.” Just to get it back with the exact same problems. Scuf to me is like a new Land Rover, they’re really cool for a month then never turn on/run again
Mate, I looooove the feeling of the scuf impact in hand. Your right. Nothing comes close. Mine is like yours, just have the dark grey camo face plate.. got mine in jan this yr and just last week I’ve sent it back for the 4th time.. first time my L2 digital trigger stop working after 2 days.. sent it off, got it back and not even a day L2 trigger non responsive again.. sent it back again..few weeks after getting it back,uncontrollable stick drift. I would do a full 360 in 2 secs without touching the controller.. sent back again, now after a month L2 digital trigger not working again... love the controller but I agree.. if they got it right, man they would be the king of the hill.. I’ve just brought a evil controller(NO MODS) so I can’t wait for that... I would love if you could do a review on a evil controller ... nice vid too my bro... Your homie from down under
Right on Savage! I bought a scuff last yr paid around 260$ and the left stick already ripped. The controller is very fragile as well. I slightly dropped it and had to send it in because a button stopped working couple months after I bought it.
I've had my Scuf Impact for a year without issue. *EXCEPT* The middle button gets pressed if you torque the controller. Nothing worse than getting into a gun battle & then the pause screen pops up. I fixed the issue by taking the controller apart & trimming the plastic plunger that hangs down off of the touchpad
Sorry to be a pain mate , would you not recommend the Astro controllers ? I currently have a scuff but unfortunately it hasn’t long left so I’m currently looking for a new controller . Thanks 🙏
I’m kinda scared of buying a expensive controller 😅 What controller should I get my regular controller is SHOT 2 years later edit: Coming up on 3 years and this controller has been nothing but fantastic for me, the only flaw I've came across is my R2 button has gotten a little flimsy and lose, other than that this controller has been a dream. One more thing- the joystick grip goes out in like a year or so, honestly depends how rough you play
I personally will never buy another Scuf controller. I got a Scuf Hybrid a while back when I was younger and within a few weeks it stopped charging, then later on one of the paddles broke right off. I never did anything that could have broken it and I was super careful with it.
Your review seems to be in line with what I have been reading here and there online, so I will take it that its not an outlier but a very common set of issues. Thanks for the detailed review. I agree their outlook/UI and customer service is really good, but at that price its just unacceptable considering $60 ps4 controllers last longer. I was really debating whether to get it or not but now I am really convinced not to get it. The main problem is that there is no competitor that provides a better offering in terms of feature sets. Sony is also enjoying those royalties and not coming up with a pro controller like xbox has done which is super annoying!
I’ve never used a scuff. I’ve been on the line about purchasing a Scuff pro reason because I don’t need anymore then two paddles. Which gets me to the best controller in my opinion. I own Two Astro C40 TR controllers. Your absolutely right about scuff having the best trigger option with the click option, with that being the only flaw. Now Astro is the absolute best when it comes to stick drift because it hardly ever happens. If it does Astro provides different modular options. Astro uses thumb stick modules that can be purchased with more tension or less tension for a awesome price of $19. You can customize more in-depth with Astros free software via laptop or desktop. You can also re-map them through the calibration button. Astro has awesome grip, feel, and weight. I love how the back paddle / trigger / buttons whatever you want to call them are placed in the best location not to mention they’re fairly close to a mouse click button. Astro c40 retails for $300+ and hasn’t changed since their release date. That right there should tell you everything you need to know. I’m still to this day using my original C40 over a year. I’ve only replaced the two modules once and I did it just for shits and giggles. Shoutout to the WolfPac. I’ve been subscribed and watching your channel for awhile. There’s a select few that I even follow and pay attention to, you being one of them. So I wanted to say thanks brother, if your not to busy and catch a wild hair come check my channel out. Dr_Gonzo CMG I started my channel a couple months ago and I know I’ve got a long way to go but content creators like yourself are the ones who inspire me. Thanks again
I was already mad over the fact that they wanna charge $10 for shipping on a controller that's already $200. Now I hear that they have major drift issues and use cheap materials... that helped me make my decision. Thanks Savage!
Damn brother. I just ordered one 2 weeks ago and I’m waiting to get it in. I guess shame on me for not doing enough research. I’ve just seen so many pros sponsored that I assumed they were best of the best. I’m hoping it isn’t $300 wasted but I guess we’ll find out. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work. Earned a sub👊🏽
@@dillytek- Honestly I like it a lot. I will say though that I wish I would've gotten the infinity pro instead of the impact. It's just too big and I cant quite get comfortable playing with it. I still play better than i did on my normal dualshock but I'll definitely be buying the infinity pro in the future. The Impact is a great controller just too big for me. Sorry for long response
Thanks for the response. Thats exactly why I ordered Infinity because I knew Impact would be too big, its really hard to get comfortable with the bigger controllers.
@@senturytv yea, I have the same question. I literally just bought one myself. I got an impact on accident really. I was gonna get an infinity because I thought it was for the ps4 and the impact was for the ps5. Suffice to say I almost lost my shit because I thought I was gonna have to immediately return it because it wouldn't pair to my ps4. So I just googled if the impact would work on a ps4, and this is the video I found. The concern of whether I could pair it cleared up, but now I have a whole new set of concerns, mainly the sticks. Seems it's been a year since, how's it doing now?
If you have a pc or plan on keeping a ps4 or Xbox 1 then yes you should. But if you plan on getting ps5 or new xbox it will not be compatible with the next gen consoles
Savage He’ll yeah appreciate that bro I’m doing good! I hope you and your wife are as well can’t remember if y’all got married yet lol. I have a scuf prestige Xbox controller had it about 4 months it’s doing good still. But I also don’t play but a few hours a day lol.
Y'all wreck ur controllers cause y'all use it Like 10+ hours a day so mabyyy if u went outside and actually got a life your controllers would work, I play about 10 hours a week and my ps4 controller has lasted for 3 1/2 years without stick drift or anything bad at all
TTV - I game for a living as well as a lot of people. People who buy scuf are grinders, a lot of players put in some serious hours in gaming. This video isn’t meant for you bro, calm down
Savage, look I ordered a scuff controller my self and it comes june 25th and I bet it will last me a year at least I haven't whatched too many of ur vids but they seem great keep it up just saying, I get annoyed when ppl complain about controllers and say their trash and don't work when it specificly says do not use for over 30 min at a time
I have the same issue with the left analog stick where it gets stuck and doesn’t move but I noticed that it happens with domed sticks and longer sticks not with concaved sticks or shorter sticks and I love my Xbox scuf prestige good video though thanks for the feedback
I have a RAzer Ultimate Edtion. Very good material! I was thinking of buying SCUF, but I see I'd better not. Can't complain about Razer. Try it, you'll be surprised. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. The most likely thing would be to buy the SCUF. But I see a lot of people complaining. I've never had to change a single button. Thank you one more time! money in the pocket
From the comments you can clearly see a common trend that 3 years ago, they churned out quality products and still working fine but now in the last year, they’ve gone cheap to be greedy on profits which is a shame considering a joypad costs nearly as much as a console and when consoles start doing their own pro versions with paddles at a fraction of the price or free with it, say goodbye to scuff etc.
I dont have a ps4, but I have an xbox and the xbox controllers from Microsoft get stick drift in 1 month as well, I think all controllers do, dont take my word on that though, that is just my experience with controllers. No hate, great vid.
Good video was planning on getting one but still not sure bc of the price. I like the scuffs mostly bc of the designs like the cherry blossom camo on the controller I really love. So Idk yet I might have to, but after hearing all of this it's quiet sad how much you said you had to fix your controller. Was it in perfect condition? Did the damages come from just playing on the scuff like you said? Because of so that really makes me reconsider getting one especially at 180 bucks which is what they charge.
my scuf lasted a year and 2 months only problems i had was the paddle buttons not working i would have to click them a lot harder but when that happened i'd send it back and they would pay for my shipping since it was within my 6 month warranty
i just got this controller and suprisingly they dont give you any cables with the controller, so i plugged it into my pc with my own cables and the scuf wont get recognized or even light up. im honestly freaking out right now spent 221 dollars and it wont even connect to steam.
If you haven't tried the Battle beaver, I would love if you did. I've seen a bunch of youtubers who've tried scuf and they loved the battle beaver (but I've not seen them talk about longevity)
Been meaning to get one. I think it’s a 6 week wait time, unfortunately it may be a few months before I can get a review video out (I wanna use it for a few months first)
Somehow mine has lasted almost 2 years and I have minimal stick drift but I did switch out the joysticks to be default PlayStation joysticks. And the design was default.
Damn for my experience my first scuf start to break down after 2 years so I order another anothe one and it lasted 2 years as well and it still works. But I now bought inpact cz I wanted to try 4 paddle. I’m on Fortnite so we hit different button at once.
I bought the ps back button attachment off fb market place for £35 and its awesome! Easy button changes, 3 preset memory, allows headphones to plug in through it. Of you can find one i highly recommend it over paying for a scuff
watching this i feel like i cant complain, i have had my controller for coming up to a year maybe just over and now getting issues where it works then all of a sudden it has a mind of its own and just does what ever it wants, still shit when i payed 160 quid for a controller
Probably a dumb question but on PC did you try the over clocking on the controller to fix your input latency? I had to do it for my Battle Beaver and now have virtually 0 latency using it now. Looking to buy the impact as a back up controller. I had a vantage 2 that all of a sudden stop functioning. I contacted scuf and they retired the model so they wont fix my controller. Their alternative was to send me a fatty scuf gift card. Jokes on me, I have to put more money into this company now to even access this "value".
I usually just use a standard PS controller, they just reliable and I rarely have issues with em, got a Razer raiju for the shooters and never had a problem with that. Scuf just sound poo with how much they are
every single pro controller i have bought, including scuf and battle beaver. None have lasted more than a couple months. I have decided im just getting regular ps4 controllers with the playstation back button and call it a day now.
My stick doesn't get stuck like that, but I got stick drift on my right stick in less than 3 months of use. What a load of garbage. I spent $200 on the controller. If you buy an expensive controller, you should be getting the highest quality. I've never had drift in a single standard Dualshock 4, even after years of use. That's why I disagree when you say 9-10 months of use before drift is excusable. I better be getting years out of that controller spending that much money. If you are considering buying a scuff, take my advise and save yourself a good chunk of cash. Buy a back button attachment for your dualshock 4 for $30.
Savage sounds good you should do a review on a new controller after a couple months of it being used, i subbed so i can keep an update😂 also gonna watch some of you’re videos🤟🤟
The stick getting stuck was a problem for me, took the top off and then noticed that the ring that goes around the stick was causing the problem, I popped it out cleaned it and then popped it back in. Haven’t had a problem for 7 months
I've owned 4 different scuf controllers. Only 1 lasted a year. The rest died very fast. Battle beaver makes the best custom controller on the market and they guarantee their modifications for the life of the controller. I've bought 3 of them and none of them have died. 2 of them are 3 years old and 1 is only a few months old.
Sad part is the only “pro” style controller I have had that hasnt failed/broke in less than 2 months is the Razer Wolverine Ultimate. Its worked for 2 years, and buttons are falling out, and yet they still work. Xbox Elite 2 had buttons give out in less than 2 months. And now im hesitant to upgrade to Scuf and ive wanted one for so long
As long as you don't drop or spill anything on your conntroler it should last about 2 years I recommend when your not using it to put it in its case or box it came in and if paddles break for th first 12 months you have the conntroler they'll send you paddles for free as long as you show them proof via image
Hello Savage! I was thinking of writing to you on instagram but your profile is somehow bugged. Anyway, i have a problem for the past couple of weeks. I cant decide what pro controller to buy. I was a mouse click away from buying scuf impact then i discovered your video. Since i find you the only youtuber i can trust i would be very grateful if i could reach to you on discord to ask you a few quick questions that would spare me a couple of hundreds. Thank you very much!
Stop stick slapping and you won’t have a problem.I’ve had multiple scuf and never had one problem.except making a decision on what color I wanted on a controller
This guy is just butt hurt he dint get sponsored by scuf lmao, I’m going on my 5th year and I’ve been using the same scuf impact controller and literally had 0 issues with it. I game for 8-9 hours a day so you can imagine. He purposely does this to the controller to make it look bad. I’m reality there’s nothing wrong with me. If it works for me it’ll work for you
Thanks. I’m a Xbox player myself with a Elite Series 2 controller ( really good ) however I play competitive COD and I’m moving to PSN because all the pros and sweats are there lol. My question is the Elite 2 better than the impact?
yeah its super frustrating trying to use these garbage controllers. im a competitive gamer and its super frustrating waiting 3 weeks to receive a $250 controller that breaks in less than a month. then i either have to pay 35 bucks to send it back for them to "fix it", or I have to pay $250 for another controller. i dont know what to do, ive been using scuf for over 2 years now, and i cant see myself going back to a regular controller, but im so done with this shit.
My Scuf was a complete disappointment. I waited to get it longer then I played with it before the left toggle started flipping around. S3nt it back and they refurbished it. That worked for 2 weeks. So frustrating. FN Scuf
Ok so.... I had a scuf with digital triggers had to send them back 3 times because they would randomly stop working, the 3rd time I asked them to just change them to normal trigger stops which they did, sprint stopped working on l3 and my right back trigger stopped working it works but not all the time not enough for it to be useable, Iv 2 other scufs both had similar issues with either back buttons not working I have a controller getting repaired atm if it comes back not working I’ll try cinch or some other brand I do like the back buttons more of a comfort thing but scufs quality alrhough it seems premium at first glance is far from it
What about xbox elite controller series 2?? If you talk only about ps4 fair enought but on xbox its just not wort it to buy scuff as they are same price if not more expensive than series 2 and series 2 is actually amazing in personalize it mechanically and this 40h battery jeez + you got genuine stuff instead of 3rd party companies. What you think?
If Walmart has the easiest return/ warranty policy then why can’t SCUF have the same process? My OG scuf is A1 but once I order the MFAM controller it was fucken trash!!! SCUF needs to step it up!!
I just want to add something. I’ve been running an impact for almost a year now and just ordered a new one. This controller is perfectly fine if you know how to fix shit. I have had to disassemble and fix my impact about 10 times since I got it but it really isn’t hard. 1. USE KONTROL FREEKS I purchase new ones every 3-4 months when they wear out for $15. 2. The digital triggers and bumpers would sometimes get stuck and not click. This was caused by various issues, but mainly from a plastic tab getting pushed out of the way. Takes about 10 mins to fix Stick drift is hard to fix but really didn’t start bothering me until recently when it got worse. Use something pointy to work out the single security screw in the back (the rest are Phillips head). I used an extra screw from a separate controller to replace it the first time I fixed it. DONT WASTE TIME SENDING CONTROLLERS BACK Fixing them yourself is not all that hard and well worth the try.
my infinitys have never lasted over a month... but once i switched to impact 2 years ago i got 5 and they all work.. just eventaully get stick drift after like 9 months
Had my scuf vantage 2 for a year now and had no problems so far im not sure if its peoples luck or the use but i have used my vantage about almost everyday and works lije a charm
I been thinking of buying one Monday, I’ve had so much trouble with dual shocks bought one and 2 weeks later the stick drift did the same thing(running/standing and I just starting looking all the way to the sky) it’s so annoying that I said I’ll pay 200$ and not have to worry about it, apparently I’m wrong ... any idea on the best controller againist stick drift compared to scuf (ps4)?
I just got my scuf impact two months ago I’m highly disappointed in the company. I have stick drift already how is that possible. I keep it and put it my scuf controller case to keep it from dust. The controller just feels so great in my hands since I have huge palms. It actually hurts my soul that I spent $200 for it to break in a couple months just to re-learn how to play a regular ps4 controller again. I bought every expensive feature on that trash controller. Ima miss the digital triggers the most
So what should I be biying? I like how paddles sit with the strikepack on ds4 contoller however the closes thing I can find is evils "paddles" locations. the 2 must haves I need are 4 paddles and digital triggers. Was gunna do the scuf he showed in video but if its not gunna last more the a ds4 then forget it.
Yoo,man. You put left stick wrong. Scuff logo should watch down,but not up. If you put with write way it wouldn’t be like you show. Peace and love baby
As a casual player it took a couple years for me to convince myself investing $160+ on a controller was a good idea. I had problems from day 1 and the rear triggers completely took a shit a month after the warranty expired. Good on you for giving an honest review, I get so tired of seeing sponsored streamers brag about Scuf's quality when I know they're lying out their asses.
Truly_Nothing thanks man, that’s exactly what happened to me. I watched amazing reviews on them and it costed me
You are such a fool. He just brainwashed you.
Stella Holland wtf are you talking about
Yo honestly this only happen to Americans, so I have saw people have this controller for 6 years and under. Honestly this controller is bad for ragers if you are don’t get it, if you get it you need to take good care of it or it’s going to brake
had mine for years got it free from that first i had off them best out no probs at all
If I spend 200 on a controller I expect it to work for at least 2 years
FACTS BRO
I’ve literally had my ps4 controller for years and if scuf doesn’t last a month I ain’t gonna buy it
I’m going on 3 years with my impact just clean it the and recalibrate it it’s like new
@@andrade__o8653 exactly these fools don’t take care of it mine is fine I have had it for a while
@@andrade__o8653 hey bro I’m probably going to buy an impact soon. Mind telling me what does recalibrate mean?
i had small issues, im a hard gamer play for hours, it never broke down on me
I had to send my scuf back about 4 times no joke because different buttons and thumb sticks randomly stopped working, and like you said it worked for about 2-3 days after the fix and that’s it. I feel like Scuf puts more quality into the ones they make for the RUclipsrs who advertise them, because I don’t believe they never got problems with them if they were being delivered the bullshit we get.
TheRealBen CoD facts man, I watched one huge streamer playing Warzone and mid gameplay he was switching like 5 of his scufs and each had a different problem
Me too im so done have it a couple days and it stops working now send it wait a month and repeat when it arrives
i already have my controller for 3 years and today I got my first problem
@@kill_strike_0016 one of the lucky guys i guess
So should I get a Astro c40 or scuf for fortnite competitive
If had my impact for 3 years and I still have it and it works
Yeah me to it’s just people rage a lot
Same cant understand what people are doing to their controllers
Y’all are crazy I got mine out the box fucked up
@@byrdreciever Mine lasted a good couple of years, but when I purchased one near the end of last year, i had so many issues - When you compare the controller I got with the one I purchased a couple of years ago, you can see some differences - it's weird. Good luck though if you purchase again and have the same thought as me, " My first one was great, next one will be too" - that thought was sadly, very sadly, wrong :( :(
You don’t think it’s possible the quality got worse like Jordan’s for example right now vs years ago
This guy looks like he's really rough on his controller. melting the frickin stick off in two weeks? I've had a scuf for years, YEARS! Almost 4 years. And throughout the time Ive had it, none of these issues happened to me. I play games regularly everyday too. The only problem I had was slight stick drift. But honestly all you have to do is clean it. Takes 2 minutes tops. This guy man, his controller looks like it's been through hell, and beat up. You can't just melt of the stick material in a few weeks. thats bs. Ive only been through 1 stick. it was my left analog after 2 years.... Please dont listen too this guy. Scuf makes a great controller and if you play everyday it is soooo beneficial, and its well worth the price. It just bothers me when I see these people talking bad about a company and he probably hasn't even properly cleaned it yet. I get that it can be annoying for such an expensive controller, just to have to clean it, but I mean really. It does only take about 2 minutes. And you only have to clean it about once(ONCE) every 6 months to a year. The only catch with scuf controllers is the fact that people don't properly use them. To get a stick to stick to the side like this guy's, you have to throw it or smash it on the ground. And your thumb isnt that hot to melt the material on the sticks, thats just bs. Like I said I did have that problem but they sale literal 8-10 thumbsticks on the website for around 5 bucks. Its a great material for gaming, because it's a softer plastic than any other controller but thats why it wears a little easier. And 10 thumbsticks(5 for each analog stick) will easily last you your entire gaming time. Like I said I bought thumbstick replacements with my controller because they were so cheap, and Ive only worn out 1. And ngl I was spamming it all the time because I play stick and move cod. You can imagine how often you jump in cod so there you go. And lastly scuf just makes everything better than every other brand out there. The though that they have put into their products is insane, and really I think that if you take at least some care of your shit, scuf controllers will last years just like mine. I put some thought into it, and was going to try and make a video but It wouldn't get very much attention at all so just take something away from reading this comment then. And ps, Digital triggers are amazing for anyone who wants to try them. I will say that they are the best addition to any controller ever.
U are so wrong in so many ways, listen to Savage. Period.
ObamaAteMyChicken The3rd nah, mans controller had to be treated bad, like come on
Ye like all these people treat their controllers like dog crap
I feel like most of you guys reviewing this controller are way too rough on them. If your sticks are getting turned and pushed hard enough to rub the rubber off you’re probably going a little too hard. These things are responsive, the harder you jam left/right/up/down doesn’t make you aim quicker or turn harder/faster. And you act like that because this is a $250 controller you shouldn’t have to replace parts, welp, if you beat the thing you can expect to replace things.
I would agree if the scuf didn’t advertise “high performance” and “pro-level controller”. I know a few pro players and these guys practice for hours and hours at a time every day. You would think the controllers would be build to withstand that level of stress. Games now a days are designed to be fast paced and needing quickness on the sticks. PS4 controllers outliving scuf seems a little bit odd to me
Savage I understand that professional gamers need to play for extended times but like I said the controllers are responsive and don’t need excessive force to respond. I’ve watched dudes twist the controller turning corners like it’s helping them move quicker, same as the ones I’ve seen jam the sticks in every angle like they need that to respond. True pro players finesse imo. These are replaceable parts too no? Like brakes on a car they need to be maintained they’re not going to last 4 years without replacement.
Keagan S. You’re an idiot. Lol. It’s called an investment. Replacing brakes on a car , fuckin AC problems, exhaust problems..when you dropped 80-100K on a car because that’s the mathematical breakdown on a traditional 40-50 dollar controller to a 350 dollar controller.. then you’re not gettin what you paid for.. and it’s true.. I was about to buy one of these fuckin things and the same shit happened to my boy.. sad af that they have some good shit and features but they’re actual dogshit controllers.. oh and tellin people to be light on their sticks is pretty ridiculous as well lol...
HainouzCrimez Gaming nah, being light on the sticks isn’t dumb
i agree with what you say but also everyone's scuff problems are different the way some of these problems occur might not be the players fault some yes some no but I get where your coming from
Anyone else have the problem where they need to remove the friction ring around the sticks because they cant move/sprint properly because it blocks the stick from hitting the end of the dead zone?
I had the same problem, I discovered that the stick gets a bit stuck by the secure ring, because the ring wears down and the residue increases friction.
I fixed it with a little bit of Vaseline on the inside of the ring. It acts as a lubricant. It's been two months now. Works flawlessly. Before it was unplayable
My scuff impact is still working great. Had it for 6 months now. The rubbers on the thumb sticks did come apart tho. But that was it. No stick drift. Works great and I love it!!!
Still working perfectly?
I have a scuf prestige and have had all the same issues OUT OF THE BOX. Scuf customer services are horrendous too. I contacted them with evidence of all the issues on the day that I received the controller requesting a replacement and they refused. They said that I could have a repair but not a replacement. My argument was that fresh out the box for £200 I should have a fully working NEW machine - not a repaired faulty one. They have since completely stopped responding to my support tickets. I even said that I would ship the broken controller back at my cost once they sent me shipping confirmation of a replacement. Nope. I got so irate that I submitted 30 support tickets for the same issues... no response as of yet. I will never ever buy another scuf product and I highly recommend that you don't either.
Glad I spent $40 every year to replace my standard PlayStation controller if it was having problems. :D
Easelm lmao win
Almost got a Scuf until i saw comparison videos on Battle Beaver. I bought it a month ago.... and Still waiting. The anticipation is real!
Ive had mine for 3yrs and everything is fine putting up 4000 hrs a year. The only thing is ive had it fixed 8 times and the problem was the stick drift every single time.
How did you fix your drift
@@34Dame i had to send it back to scuf but i wish i knew how to do it myself. Id probably save alot on shipping. There is a video of it on RUclips but i haven't really gave it an effort to follow through.
@@jb8770 how do you get in contact to send it back just wanna know I’m about to order a impact hooefully it’s good
@@34Dame on their website click on the search bar and type in repairs or upgrade and they will give u instructions but the downside is they fix them base on order number which means if there is 20 people ahead of u then you'll have to WAIT your turn.
SCUF sponsored people: best controller never breaks joysticks are the best. Other people:It’s overrated, overpriced and overhyped and is to weak and breaks. Me:WHO SHOULD I TRUST
lmao nailed it bro
i have three SCUFs. not sponsored, just play everyday, mostly shooters. have had nothing but problems. they look and feel great when they work. for the price, the quality is very cheap and not durable. they also have a proprietary security screw on the impact and infinity that prohibit users doing their own repair and maintenance. you have to send them off registered mail. trigger stops are cheap plastic tabs and digital triggers (which feel great) are also super fragile and once they're broken your fuxxed. i've sent them for repair many times and they've been returned not to spec and not actually fixed. i wished i'd known how poorly these are made and that i can't do my own repairs. honestly i think i'll just buckle down and learn claw and say f*** it to custom controllers. believe who you want but i wished i'd known all this before i had invested so much money.
@@mythofinanna adjustable hair triggers or digital tab triggers
They are weak due to ragers. Treat them like they are meant to be treated. If you smashed a 200 dollar phone into the ground it would break, why would a 200 dollar controller be different. Treat it like the money it costs.
this goes to show large companies don’t care about the consumer. we come in and out like the seasons, they only care about the bottom line. If we stop buying Scufs or Elites, someone else just begins the process for the first time. It’s a sad cycle that benefits Scuf and Microsoft , not the millions of gamers.
I saw this video 3 mins exactly after I bought it 0:
Hopefully yours holds up man. Seems like a few people got lucky
Have you issues with the impact or do you recommend it?
Yip same let's hope not £200 down the drain
how is it holdin up?
@@TbhKol mine is due back tomorrow I had send it in for repairs an wasn't even a month old had very bad stick drift an L1 was so lose
I’ve had my impacts for 2 years now no problems. I recommend not getting all the trigger stop garbage it’s just gimmicks. I have a 3.2 kd using normal triggers.
i honestly didnt have any trigger issues, mostly stick drift was my problem
@@Savage_2C stick drifting heapends to every controller no mater what
@@fsauvlr so true. I'm on my 3rd regular PlayStation controller and it lasted about 2 months before stick drift. PlayStation controllers are garbage. One of the 3 also does the thing where it starts aiming all over the place on its own without any input. I honestly don't think it's scuf but rather the stock PlayStation controller they use as their base
@@tman6790 never had an issue in years...... years
@@JWSoul guess you got lucky or you just don't notice it. One controller is very minor and I only notice it playing fifa taking a free kick, you gotta be very steady with the left stick and it jumps all over the place. Though with that same controller on cod it's unnoticeable because its the left stick not the right. And yes I've compared it to a brand new controller, it's the stick not my shakey hands. So far my 4th controller has lasted about 5 or so months without any issues.
I ordered me a scuff a month ago haven’t gotten it back yet but I’m getting scared from all the complaints. I had a battle beaver but the left stick finally went out after 3 years. I loved it but I wanted to try out the scuff. I’m starting to think I should’ve went back to battle beaver.
The scuf impact controller is trash I got mine two months ago and I already have stick drift
Ordered mine july 3 and just got it today
Tyler Beldock hows your controller so far? I ordered mine September 19 abt 4 days ago it’s coming in 1-2 days and I’m really nervous abt all the bad reviews the same controller I’m getting. How’s yours as if right now?
Jaytheeemu YT I do like it but one of my sticks started sticking almost right away and I had to clean it. I use it when I play but I probably won’t buy another until I start hearing reviews are better. I like it better than my regular PlayStation controller
Jaytheeemu YT dude I got mine in June, within 5 days my back left bumper was sliding in and out, my L3 (left joystick) was already worn out and giving me issues w sprint in cod, and my L2 stopped working... sending this thing in for warranty is horrendous
Thanks for the review man you totally convinced me into NOT BUYING this crap.
I understand you’re deal with scuff. Had issues as well. But what controller would you advice? Battle beaver, Astro,Xbox elite ??. That would be a good peace of advice. Thank you in advance
Aim controllers. I just got one from them for ps5. They costumize original controllers for either ps5/ps4 or any of the Xbox series. It take a bit of time to get use to the controller, reason for is that they're costumize orginial controllers with paddles on the back, takes up a bit of holding space but they're good. Lifetime warranty and all....
Aim controllers definetly great quality and they have great prices and if you want it faster you can choose speedy aim and if you want smart bumpers smart triggers and the back buttons itll cost 220 in total I received mine in 7 days
Drift is terrible. All controllers have it. I play with joycons on the switch. Those last like a week. I’m used to drift. $80 for practically dog sticks. And you CANNOT take them out. I think I may buy it. I think you can put on standard sticks so I will put those on. Warranty and everything. This video is useful.
This is exactly why I’m just buying a Bigbigwon R100 adapter and an elite series 2 controller for my PlayStation 4, While the elite series 2 has its own set of problems. I’ve had far better experience with Microsoft controllers than I do the DS4, and almost every review I see of these scuf controllers are negative, and after the countless stories I’ve read I’d rather not.
Plus I’m not going to spend shipping on a 200 dollar product
Or 15 for a charging cable
Or 15 for a hard case
Or 100+ extra for these fancy features that I can get already with the elite 2 for much cheaper.
And Im not paying 300~ish for a controller that 9/10 stories and reviews I hear say it breaks within a month, takes 6+months with customer support to “f I x.” Just to get it back with the exact same problems.
Scuf to me is like a new Land Rover, they’re really cool for a month then never turn on/run again
Mate, I looooove the feeling of the scuf impact in hand. Your right. Nothing comes close. Mine is like yours, just have the dark grey camo face plate.. got mine in jan this yr and just last week I’ve sent it back for the 4th time.. first time my L2 digital trigger stop working after 2 days.. sent it off, got it back and not even a day L2 trigger non responsive again.. sent it back again..few weeks after getting it back,uncontrollable stick drift. I would do a full 360 in 2 secs without touching the controller.. sent back again, now after a month L2 digital trigger not working again... love the controller but I agree.. if they got it right, man they would be the king of the hill.. I’ve just brought a evil controller(NO MODS) so I can’t wait for that... I would love if you could do a review on a evil controller ... nice vid too my bro...
Your homie from down under
Right on Savage! I bought a scuff last yr paid around 260$ and the left stick already ripped. The controller is very fragile as well. I slightly dropped it and had to send it in because a button stopped working couple months after I bought it.
I've had my Scuf Impact for a year without issue.
*EXCEPT*
The middle button gets pressed if you torque the controller.
Nothing worse than getting into a gun battle & then the pause screen pops up.
I fixed the issue by taking the controller apart & trimming the plastic plunger that hangs down off of the touchpad
Hey Savage the volume is a little low even on full volume but awesome video nonetheless
Presidential Phantom damn, I missed that! Appreciate it bro! Hope your doing good man
2:36 ShIpPeD QuIKly what mine is taking 2 months ahahaha
Hello Savage thanks for the video , I have a question have you tried the Razer controllers if so what are your thoughts. 👌
Dean Etheridge not yet man but hoping to soon!
Sorry to be a pain mate , would you not recommend the Astro controllers ? I currently have a scuff but unfortunately it hasn’t long left so I’m currently looking for a new controller . Thanks 🙏
I’m kinda scared of buying a expensive controller 😅
What controller should I get my regular controller is SHOT
2 years later edit: Coming up on 3 years and this controller has been nothing but fantastic for me, the only flaw I've came across is my R2 button has gotten a little flimsy and lose, other than that this controller has been a dream. One more thing- the joystick grip goes out in like a year or so, honestly depends how rough you play
Get a strikepack
@@Capetoonali I had a strike pack before and they work really well!...
I have a scuf impact rn and it’s working just fine !
I personally will never buy another Scuf controller. I got a Scuf Hybrid a while back when I was younger and within a few weeks it stopped charging, then later on one of the paddles broke right off. I never did anything that could have broken it and I was super careful with it.
Your review seems to be in line with what I have been reading here and there online, so I will take it that its not an outlier but a very common set of issues. Thanks for the detailed review. I agree their outlook/UI and customer service is really good, but at that price its just unacceptable considering $60 ps4 controllers last longer. I was really debating whether to get it or not but now I am really convinced not to get it. The main problem is that there is no competitor that provides a better offering in terms of feature sets. Sony is also enjoying those royalties and not coming up with a pro controller like xbox has done which is super annoying!
I've had so many issues with scuf and can confirm that they do not have good customer service!
And still be shit on a controller
I’ve never used a scuff. I’ve been on the line about purchasing a Scuff pro reason because I don’t need anymore then two paddles. Which gets me to the best controller in my opinion. I own Two Astro C40 TR controllers. Your absolutely right about scuff having the best trigger option with the click option, with that being the only flaw. Now Astro is the absolute best when it comes to stick drift because it hardly ever happens. If it does Astro provides different modular options. Astro uses thumb stick modules that can be purchased with more tension or less tension for a awesome price of $19. You can customize more in-depth with Astros free software via laptop or desktop. You can also re-map them through the calibration button. Astro has awesome grip, feel, and weight. I love how the back paddle / trigger / buttons whatever you want to call them are placed in the best location not to mention they’re fairly close to a mouse click button. Astro c40 retails for $300+ and hasn’t changed since their release date. That right there should tell you everything you need to know. I’m still to this day using my original C40 over a year. I’ve only replaced the two modules once and I did it just for shits and giggles.

Scufs are 100 times cheaper
I was already mad over the fact that they wanna charge $10 for shipping on a controller that's already $200. Now I hear that they have major drift issues and use cheap materials... that helped me make my decision. Thanks Savage!
Damn brother. I just ordered one 2 weeks ago and I’m waiting to get it in. I guess shame on me for not doing enough research. I’ve just seen so many pros sponsored that I assumed they were best of the best. I’m hoping it isn’t $300 wasted but I guess we’ll find out. Thanks for the video and keep up the good work. Earned a sub👊🏽
How is your scuf?
@@dillytek- Honestly I like it a lot. I will say though that I wish I would've gotten the infinity pro instead of the impact. It's just too big and I cant quite get comfortable playing with it. I still play better than i did on my normal dualshock but I'll definitely be buying the infinity pro in the future. The Impact is a great controller just too big for me. Sorry for long response
Thanks for the response. Thats exactly why I ordered Infinity because I knew Impact would be too big, its really hard to get comfortable with the bigger controllers.
@@dj3pokemon94 how is it doing now?
@@senturytv yea, I have the same question. I literally just bought one myself. I got an impact on accident really. I was gonna get an infinity because I thought it was for the ps4 and the impact was for the ps5. Suffice to say I almost lost my shit because I thought I was gonna have to immediately return it because it wouldn't pair to my ps4. So I just googled if the impact would work on a ps4, and this is the video I found. The concern of whether I could pair it cleared up, but now I have a whole new set of concerns, mainly the sticks.
Seems it's been a year since, how's it doing now?
The impact is such a good controller. I’ve had mine for 2 years and still works like it’s brand new
If you have a pc or plan on keeping a ps4 or Xbox 1 then yes you should. But if you plan on getting ps5 or new xbox it will not be compatible with the next gen consoles
Thanks For the Knowledge Savage Much Love! I Agree with you for the price i would think it should last at least 1 year.
Duff Jams appreciate it duff, hope your good bro
Savage He’ll yeah appreciate that bro I’m doing good! I hope you and your wife are as well can’t remember if y’all got married yet lol. I have a scuf prestige Xbox controller had it about 4 months it’s doing good still. But I also don’t play but a few hours a day lol.
Savage I didnt know if you remembered me or my name. On twitch lDuffman is me too by the way.
even if it lasts a year that means ur paying $25 a month for a controller.. nonsense!
Y'all wreck ur controllers cause y'all use it Like 10+ hours a day so mabyyy if u went outside and actually got a life your controllers would work, I play about 10 hours a week and my ps4 controller has lasted for 3 1/2 years without stick drift or anything bad at all
TTV - I game for a living as well as a lot of people. People who buy scuf are grinders, a lot of players put in some serious hours in gaming. This video isn’t meant for you bro, calm down
Savage, look I ordered a scuff controller my self and it comes june 25th and I bet it will last me a year at least I haven't whatched too many of ur vids but they seem great keep it up just saying, I get annoyed when ppl complain about controllers and say their trash and don't work when it specificly says do not use for over 30 min at a time
Karen energy
Sometimes the joints in the controller just need to be readjusted if theirs drift even after fixing your dead zone
I have the same issue with the left analog stick where it gets stuck and doesn’t move but I noticed that it happens with domed sticks and longer sticks not with concaved sticks or shorter sticks and I love my Xbox scuf prestige good video though thanks for the feedback
I have a RAzer Ultimate Edtion. Very good material!
I was thinking of buying SCUF, but I see I'd better not. Can't complain about Razer. Try it, you'll be surprised.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. The most likely thing would be to buy the SCUF. But I see a lot of people complaining. I've never had to change a single button. Thank you one more time!
money in the pocket
From the comments you can clearly see a common trend that 3 years ago, they churned out quality products and still working fine but now in the last year, they’ve gone cheap to be greedy on profits which is a shame considering a joypad costs nearly as much as a console and when consoles start doing their own pro versions with paddles at a fraction of the price or free with it, say goodbye to scuff etc.
If the bind doesn’t work or resets can’t u just do it again cause it’s easy and takes 30 seconds
I dont have a ps4, but I have an xbox and the xbox controllers from Microsoft get stick drift in 1 month as well, I think all controllers do, dont take my word on that though, that is just my experience with controllers.
No hate, great vid.
Good video was planning on getting one but still not sure bc of the price. I like the scuffs mostly bc of the designs like the cherry blossom camo on the controller I really love. So Idk yet I might have to, but after hearing all of this it's quiet sad how much you said you had to fix your controller. Was it in perfect condition? Did the damages come from just playing on the scuff like you said? Because of so that really makes me reconsider getting one especially at 180 bucks which is what they charge.
my scuf lasted a year and 2 months only problems i had was the paddle buttons not working i would have to click them a lot harder but when that happened i'd send it back and they would pay for my shipping since it was within my 6 month warranty
Great video Savage! Totally agree
ozweezin thanks oz!!
i just got this controller and suprisingly they dont give you any cables with the controller, so i plugged it into my pc with my own cables and the scuf wont get recognized or even light up. im honestly freaking out right now spent 221 dollars and it wont even connect to steam.
I like how you have improved in making your videos.
Jacob Harlow thanks baby!!
god dam best review ive ever saw in my life
Thank you!
If you haven't tried the Battle beaver, I would love if you did. I've seen a bunch of youtubers who've tried scuf and they loved the battle beaver (but I've not seen them talk about longevity)
Been meaning to get one. I think it’s a 6 week wait time, unfortunately it may be a few months before I can get a review video out (I wanna use it for a few months first)
Love your videos mate 👍 you have a new sub
Dean Etheridge appreciate it dean!
I’ve had one for about and year and no noticeable problems :)
Somehow mine has lasted almost 2 years and I have minimal stick drift but I did switch out the joysticks to be default PlayStation joysticks. And the design was default.
You can send it to me if you want I’ll pay for shipping 😂
great video, almost bught a suf til this video, do you have a review on ps5 aim controller and paddles?
Damn for my experience my first scuf start to break down after 2 years so I order another anothe one and it lasted 2 years as well and it still works. But I now bought inpact cz I wanted to try 4 paddle. I’m on Fortnite so we hit different button at once.
I bought the ps back button attachment off fb market place for £35 and its awesome! Easy button changes, 3 preset memory, allows headphones to plug in through it. Of you can find one i highly recommend it over paying for a scuff
watching this i feel like i cant complain, i have had my controller for coming up to a year maybe just over and now getting issues where it works then all of a sudden it has a mind of its own and just does what ever it wants, still shit when i payed 160 quid for a controller
dope vid....you messed with an elite controller?? if so thoughts on that for pc play
I LOVE the elite controllers. My favorite so far hands down
Probably a dumb question but on PC did you try the over clocking on the controller to fix your input latency? I had to do it for my Battle Beaver and now have virtually 0 latency using it now. Looking to buy the impact as a back up controller. I had a vantage 2 that all of a sudden stop functioning. I contacted scuf and they retired the model so they wont fix my controller. Their alternative was to send me a fatty scuf gift card. Jokes on me, I have to put more money into this company now to even access this "value".
200 dollars and it doesn’t work for racing games? That’s ridiculous
I usually just use a standard PS controller, they just reliable and I rarely have issues with em, got a Razer raiju for the shooters and never had a problem with that. Scuf just sound poo with how much they are
liam sherratt been wanting to try the razor, thanks for the feedback bro
every single pro controller i have bought, including scuf and battle beaver. None have lasted more than a couple months. I have decided im just getting regular ps4 controllers with the playstation back button and call it a day now.
My stick doesn't get stuck like that, but I got stick drift on my right stick in less than 3 months of use. What a load of garbage. I spent $200 on the controller. If you buy an expensive controller, you should be getting the highest quality. I've never had drift in a single standard Dualshock 4, even after years of use. That's why I disagree when you say 9-10 months of use before drift is excusable. I better be getting years out of that controller spending that much money. If you are considering buying a scuff, take my advise and save yourself a good chunk of cash. Buy a back button attachment for your dualshock 4 for $30.
i'm confused because when my controller was under 6 month warranty scuff always paid it for me so i was free
have you bought a new controller like now these are old, do you think they made improvements?
The last one I got was in March. But since Corsair bout scuf I’m going to get another one once I feel like their old inventory is gone
Savage sounds good you should do a review on a new controller after a couple months of it being used, i subbed so i can keep an update😂 also gonna watch some of you’re videos🤟🤟
Problems could of been during shipping with the left analog stick getting stuck in a certain spot and getting worse from playing rough
The stick getting stuck was a problem for me, took the top off and then noticed that the ring that goes around the stick was causing the problem, I popped it out cleaned it and then popped it back in. Haven’t had a problem for 7 months
I've owned 4 different scuf controllers. Only 1 lasted a year. The rest died very fast. Battle beaver makes the best custom controller on the market and they guarantee their modifications for the life of the controller. I've bought 3 of them and none of them have died. 2 of them are 3 years old and 1 is only a few months old.
Sounds like a fanboy
@@straatzz5388 nope. Just the facts of what is better. To each their own.
Sad part is the only “pro” style controller I have had that hasnt failed/broke in less than 2 months is the Razer Wolverine Ultimate. Its worked for 2 years, and buttons are falling out, and yet they still work. Xbox Elite 2 had buttons give out in less than 2 months. And now im hesitant to upgrade to Scuf and ive wanted one for so long
Hey savage I’m getaimb0tted from twitch hopefully Corsair makes some good changes keep up the good work
Cheater RyZn thanks bro!!! Thanks for coming by last night bro!
No prob ur so entertaining
Recently moved to ps5 after years of Xbox and wanted something to replace the Xbox elite v2. Defo not getting a scuff after this vid
They probably take so long to fix cause they got so many to fix 😭
As long as you don't drop or spill anything on your conntroler it should last about 2 years I recommend when your not using it to put it in its case or box it came in and if paddles break for th first 12 months you have the conntroler they'll send you paddles for free as long as you show them proof via image
It is possible for your conntroler to come in defective but its rare
Why would you play video games on Shimano XT shifter?
What's wron with Sony controller?
People nowadays... hard to believe and I'm 36.
Hello Savage! I was thinking of writing to you on instagram but your profile is somehow bugged. Anyway, i have a problem for the past couple of weeks. I cant decide what pro controller to buy. I was a mouse click away from buying scuf impact then i discovered your video. Since i find you the only youtuber i can trust i would be very grateful if i could reach to you on discord to ask you a few quick questions that would spare me a couple of hundreds. Thank you very much!
Stop stick slapping and you won’t have a problem.I’ve had multiple scuf and never had one problem.except making a decision on what color I wanted on a controller
This guy is just butt hurt he dint get sponsored by scuf lmao, I’m going on my 5th year and I’ve been using the same scuf impact controller and literally had 0 issues with it. I game for 8-9 hours a day so you can imagine. He purposely does this to the controller to make it look bad. I’m reality there’s nothing wrong with me. If it works for me it’ll work for you
Thanks. I’m a Xbox player myself with a Elite Series 2 controller ( really good ) however I play competitive COD and I’m moving to PSN because all the pros and sweats are there lol. My question is the Elite 2 better than the impact?
Yes It is
My scufs have all worked flawlessly
yeah its super frustrating trying to use these garbage controllers. im a competitive gamer and its super frustrating waiting 3 weeks to receive a $250 controller that breaks in less than a month. then i either have to pay 35 bucks to send it back for them to "fix it", or I have to pay $250 for another controller. i dont know what to do, ive been using scuf for over 2 years now, and i cant see myself going back to a regular controller, but im so done with this shit.
My Scuf was a complete disappointment. I waited to get it longer then I played with it before the left toggle started flipping around. S3nt it back and they refurbished it. That worked for 2 weeks. So frustrating. FN Scuf
Ok so.... I had a scuf with digital triggers had to send them back 3 times because they would randomly stop working, the 3rd time I asked them to just change them to normal trigger stops which they did, sprint stopped working on l3 and my right back trigger stopped working it works but not all the time not enough for it to be useable, Iv 2 other scufs both had similar issues with either back buttons not working I have a controller getting repaired atm if it comes back not working I’ll try cinch or some other brand I do like the back buttons more of a comfort thing but scufs quality alrhough it seems premium at first glance is far from it
W Camden a lot of people have been having digital triggers issues, I think I got lucky
Savage I loved them while they worked they just didn’t work very long and I was super careful with them
What about xbox elite controller series 2?? If you talk only about ps4 fair enought but on xbox its just not wort it to buy scuff as they are same price if not more expensive than series 2 and series 2 is actually amazing in personalize it mechanically and this 40h battery jeez + you got genuine stuff instead of 3rd party companies. What you think?
If Walmart has the easiest return/ warranty policy then why can’t SCUF have the same process? My OG scuf is A1 but once I order the MFAM controller it was fucken trash!!! SCUF needs to step it up!!
Plus it's just wasting money I don't want to pay £100 and all the time just to get a new controller is kind of pointless
I love my impact honestly. Wouldn’t buy a different one. Have had it for at least a few years. Maybe they’ve gotten worse now though
I just want to add something. I’ve been running an impact for almost a year now and just ordered a new one. This controller is perfectly fine if you know how to fix shit. I have had to disassemble and fix my impact about 10 times since I got it but it really isn’t hard.
1. USE KONTROL FREEKS
I purchase new ones every 3-4 months when they wear out for $15.
2. The digital triggers and bumpers would sometimes get stuck and not click. This was caused by various issues, but mainly from a plastic tab getting pushed out of the way. Takes about 10 mins to fix
Stick drift is hard to fix but really didn’t start bothering me until recently when it got worse. Use something pointy to work out the single security screw in the back (the rest are Phillips head). I used an extra screw from a separate controller to replace it the first time I fixed it.
DONT WASTE TIME SENDING CONTROLLERS BACK
Fixing them yourself is not all that hard and well worth the try.
my infinitys have never lasted over a month... but once i switched to impact 2 years ago i got 5 and they all work.. just eventaully get stick drift after like 9 months
I completely agree with u. On everything! I have the exact same problems!
So Whats An alternative
What Pro controller is the best buy now what about vantage 2
Vantage 2 is the worst controller I’ve ever used broken in 3 days impact 2 days wish I watched these videos b4 I purchased 2 controllers.
Had my scuf vantage 2 for a year now and had no problems so far im not sure if its peoples luck or the use but i have used my vantage about almost everyday and works lije a charm
I been thinking of buying one Monday, I’ve had so much trouble with dual shocks bought one and 2 weeks later the stick drift did the same thing(running/standing and I just starting looking all the way to the sky) it’s so annoying that I said I’ll pay 200$ and not have to worry about it, apparently I’m wrong ... any idea on the best controller againist stick drift compared to scuf (ps4)?
I just got my scuf impact two months ago I’m highly disappointed in the company. I have stick drift already how is that possible. I keep it and put it my scuf controller case to keep it from dust. The controller just feels so great in my hands since I have huge palms. It actually hurts my soul that I spent $200 for it to break in a couple months just to re-learn how to play a regular ps4 controller again. I bought every expensive feature on that trash controller. Ima miss the digital triggers the most
Now the best customisation goes to battle beaver. you have to go to their website then you can see for yourself.
wait do we know if it is now fixed because if i pay $235 for a conrtoller i expect it to last for long
Those big hands broke the controller lol kidding but nice video
I'm hoping I don't have any problems. I ordered 1 mid May. Problem is because of the Covid situation I won't get it until July 21st.🤬🤬🤬
Why don’t u guys use control freaks makes mine last over two years
So what should I be biying? I like how paddles sit with the strikepack on ds4 contoller however the closes thing I can find is evils "paddles" locations. the 2 must haves I need are 4 paddles and digital triggers. Was gunna do the scuf he showed in video but if its not gunna last more the a ds4 then forget it.
Yoo,man. You put left stick wrong. Scuff logo should watch down,but not up. If you put with write way it wouldn’t be like you show. Peace and love baby
