SCUF Instinct Pro Performance Series Wireless Xbox Controller - Remappable Back Paddles - Instant Triggers - Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC and Mobile - Steel Gray

This controller was recommended to me by a friend, who’s had his for a while now. I just finished setting it up and testing the functionality!I’d like to start by saying the packaging was sturdy as hell. I was a bit nervous since the Amazon box it came in was beat up, but the manufacturers packaging was pristine. Im very impressed!!! It’s clear to me that many precautions were taken to ensure the product arrived safely.The plastic faceplate feels very soft and smooth to the touch. The rubber grips will be great for sweaty gaming sessions, and the buttons are all beautifully responsive and springy. Bumpers and triggers feel amazing, too.The thumb sticks have this light resistance to them that feels really good, and the controller has some weight to it. It’s lighter than the elite series 2. The paddles will take some getting used to, they’re placed a bit awkwardly to me.It has a mute button built in!!! Oh, and the switches for the trigger locks feel very professional.I will update in 1 year or when this product develops stick drift, whichever comes first

I’ve been using this controller since 2021 and it’s still going strong, demonstrating top-tier durability and build quality. The buttons feel tactile and responsive, giving me confidence with every press. The adaptive triggers are a game changer, especially in fast-paced FPS games, they elevate gameplay to a whole new level of precision. The color is sleek and stylish, offering a sharp aesthetic without being flashy. It feels incredibly comfortable in hand thanks to its ergonomic design, making long gaming sessions a breeze. I’ve used it seamlessly on both Xbox and PC with no compatibility issues, making it a versatile powerhouse controller. Five stars all day!

When I first got the controller it mostly felt great, but had a god awful dpad. The build wasn’t $230 quality, but the back buttons were superb. The rest of the controller felt good to use. However it’s slowly fallen apart. One of the back buttons is slightly loose, it’s developed stick drift, and now the B button isn’t responding often. There’s no excuse for the poor quality. The controller just isn’t built to last, for $230 I expect way more time, out of my product. I have had a GameSir G7 SE for years & it’s still perfect. Now that the G7 pro is making a wireless Xbox edition, I’m buying that and never touching a scuf again. I wanted this controller to be so much more than it is, but a far superior controller that costs 1/3 the price exists, please consider the G7 pro over this. Other options include 8bitdo ultimate 2, flydigi Vader 4, GameSir Cyclone 2, & many other options.

So far it works great. Sticks feel awesome. Very smooth.

I've been using the SCUF Instinct Pro Controller for my Xbox gaming sessions, and it's been a game-changer, enhancing my performance in both first-person and third-person shooters like Fortnite and Call of Duty. The addition of extra controls on the back has been invaluable, allowing me to keep my thumbs on the analog sticks while executing complex maneuvers seamlessly.However, the controller's durability leaves something to be desired. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the sturdiest, I'd rate it a 6. While it's held up to regular use fairly well, I've encountered two significant issues. Firstly, the left stick developed severe drift after some time, despite my careful handling of the controller. Although customer service was excellent during my initial contact, the repair process was swift and efficient.Unfortunately, a year later, another problem arose when the back left button unexpectedly snapped. This time, my experience with customer service was disappointing. It took multiple requests and nearly two weeks to get a response. While the eventual assistance from Darian was helpful, I was frustrated to receive conflicting information about warranty coverage. Initially assured that the repair would be covered, I later received an unexpected invoice for $74, leaving me feeling misled and dissatisfied.Despite these setbacks, the controller itself remains top-notch, and I eagerly await the return of my repaired unit. Overall, while the SCUF Instinct Pro Controller has significantly improved my gaming experience, its durability issues and inconsistent customer service tarnish an otherwise stellar product.

Absolutely awesome controller! Although it is a little expensive, it feels amazing and precise. It is way better than the $35 controller I was playing with before.One of my back paddles broke, and SCUF sent me a brand new controller to replace it. Needless to say, I now have two of these and will buy more SCUF products in the future!
