Customer Ratings & Reviews

The controller is well built and feels premium and the buttons are clicky and fast. I love the feeling of the triggers when you have the stops on, they feel exactly like a mouse click. However the one downside is the icue software, constant updates and the controller forgetting its mapping can be annoying. I use my controller wired as I found I have much less software issues that way. The buttons below the sticks are great for people who like to listen to music or a YouTube video in the background of gameplay. I’ve mapped them to control all my media so I don’t have to tab out of my game to change the song or pause the video. I’ve only had the controller for a few weeks however the ability to re-calibrate the sticks to get rid of drift is a life saver and makes my wallet happy.

All right, been using this for a few days and it is amazing. Playing Helldivers 2 with macros for stratagems is wondertastic, there is so much customization to this it allows for perfect input. You can set up several profiles to map buttons however you want, and even an option to save 3 to the controller to use. Now, yes, iCue has crashed once on me but the controller still functioned as a controller while I got it started again. Feels great in my hands and I'm 6'5, I'm used to the PS style controllers and really like the utility of the extra buttons. Highly recommend.

____ *Pros: -Slick and cool-looking modern design with a splash of LED colors. -Responsive, tactile, and accurate button presses. -Smooth, drift-free joysticks. -Five customizable G-Keys. -Four rear paddle buttons. -Extra replacement parts included. ____ *Neutral: -Kind of heavy. ____ *Cons: -The iCue app crashes occasionally. I had a blast playing games with the Scuf Envision Pro v2 gaming controller. I played all kinds of games on it – Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Stalker 2, Grand Theft Auto V, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Split Fiction – and the gamepad delivered a consistently tactile, responsive, accurate, and comfortable experience across all genres. The controller is packed full of technology so it feels a bit heavy compared to less sophisticated (and cheaper) controllers out there, but the trade-off is definitely worth it, as you can use the Corsair iCUE app to customize the gamepad to your heart’s content, from custom RGB lighting, macro functions, remapping buttons, and calibrating the joysticks and shoulder buttons. Casual gamers probably won’t utilize all the functions the Scuf Envision v2 offers, but pro-level gamers will definitely appreciate all the thoughtful customization options that Corsair baked into the gamepad. The controller feels grippy and just-right in-hand, and despite its weight, the controller is well-balanced and doesn’t cause any hand fatigue. The ABXY and D-pad buttons utilize Omron mechanical switches which result in faster actuation with less travel distance, consistent feedback, increased accuracy, and longer durability. I also love that clickity sound the Omron switches make. I have other Corsair gear, such as the K100 Air wireless keyboard and M65 Ultra gaming mouse, and I appreciated having the ability to use iCUE to synchronize my RGB lighting in a harmonious manner. It is also through iCUE that firmware updates are performed as well as all the customizations. When it decides to work, iCUE can be a wonderful all-in-one app that ties together all of your Corsair gear for easy firmware updates and customizations. Unfortunately, it is occasionally buggy in Windows 11, and I sometimes had to close and restart the app a couple of times before it loaded up correctly and tallied up all of my peripherals. It is definitely frustrating when the app misbehaves, so I hope Corsair will place more emphasis on reliability and consistency going forward. Although two connectivity options are provided – wired or wireless via the USB dongle – I always went with the wireless option because I hate being tethered via a wire no matter how generous and long the cable is. Fortunately, the Corsair Slipstream wireless technology delivered, and it provided a reliable and lag-free gaming experience. The Scuf Envision Pro was paired almost instantly after turning on the controller, and the connection remained solid for hours and I never experienced a disconnection. The battery life has been pretty solid as well. The longest gaming session I had was about six hours, and the iCUE app reported that I still had more than 50% charge left. The gamepad charges up quickly via the USB-C port. I let my 10-year old daughter use the Envision Pro when we played some local coop games (Resident Evil Revelations 2, Split Fiction), and it fit in her hands comfortably and she said it didn’t feel heavy at all. She likes the controller so much, she wants to use it all the time now. 😊 All in all, the Envision Pro version 2 is an incremental but meaningful upgrade over version 1, which I also own. The major change is the thumbsticks going from standard potentiometer tech to hall-effect tech. Although I never experienced any drift issues with version 1, it’s good that Corsair is refining and improving upon the formula and bringing about meaningful and useful upgrades to their gamepads. The Envision Pro v2 might be a little bit overkill for me since I’m not a pro-gamer that doesn’t need all the customization options, but I still love it because it feels so nice in-hand, the buttons are so satisfyingly tactile and responsive, and the battery life is fantastic. So yes, it’s definitely worth your hard-earned coin, and I’m pretty sure it will make you a very content and satisfied gamer. 5 Stars.

I finally did it. I finally pulled the trigger, literally and figuratively, on switching from a standard gaming console controller for my PC, which I have been using for a decade, to the latest upgraded version of SCUF’s Envision Pro wireless controller specifically built for PC gaming. The reason I waited so long was not only because I had become accustomed to using a standard console controller, the feel of it, the button placement, etc., that I just couldn’t justify spending double, sometimes triple, the amount on something, I thought, was getting the job done when, in reality, I was missing so much more than I ever realized. Allow me to explain. One of the main reasons for me to finally upgrade was the button customization options, or lack thereof, and the number of buttons accessible by some of my idle fingers. I’ll admit, and I’m sure plenty of you would agree, there are some occasions while gaming on the PC where using a quick shortcut on my keyboard was the quickest way to access certain things as there was not a dedicated controller button for that selection on a standard controller. I know, I know, there are other options out there with Elite or Pro style controllers with back paddle options; I have been intrigued for years at the SCUF brand however, for years, they didn’t offer much more bang for your buck compared to cheaper controller options. That has all changed with their newest Envision Pro model made specifically for PCs, hallelujah! From the moment you unbox the SCUF Envision Pro, its premium hardware and stand-out aesthetics are unmistakable. The controller rocks a sleek, modern silhouette that aligns with SCUF’s signature design, but with subtle refinements for PC users. It has a removable and customizable faceplate, removable anti-drift hall effect thumbsticks, highly customizable, adjustable instant triggers and five customizable G-Keys located on the bottom and highlighted with customizable RGB lighting. All that combines to offer 11 more buttons than a standard controller… yes, 11 more! You can really feel the quality of the build when you hold it in your hands from the back grips, the textured controllers, smooth trigger feel and pleasant click of the OMRON mechanical button switches. It is very ergonomically sound fitting naturally in my hands with what feels to be a perfectly balanced weight and feels comfortable with the non-slip performance grips. SCUF’s controllers have always been renowned for their customizable features, and the Envision Pro amplifies this legacy with both its hardware and software. The most striking aspect is the array of programmable paddles and side buttons, which can be mapped to any input of choice. This allows for complex macros, rapid weapon swaps, or streamlined movement without ever lifting your thumbs off the analog sticks. It has four perfectly placed rear paddles as you would find on “pro” or “elite” controllers that you can customize, like every other aspect of the controller. The two side action buttons are definitely new to me and took a little getting used to as I would sometimes accidentally squeeze the controller in intense gaming sessions and activate some feature I didn’t mean to. The adjustable trigger stops located on the backside of the triggers are great for FPS titles, and you can customize the triggers even more within the software. Onboard Profile Switching allows users to quickly switch between setups without tinkering with software in between games, sessions or users. The Envision Pro has ultra-fast wireless connectivity using advanced Bluetooth protocols promising low-latency, stable wireless performance which is crucial for competitive PC gaming. It uses SlipStream wireless connectivity and you can hardwire it with the USB-C port on the back which doubles as the charging port. This makes input lag virtually nonexistent, thanks to robust Bluetooth technology and optimized firmware. The analog sticks offer precise movement, with adjustable tension options available for those seeking ultra-responsive aiming. The triggers and bumpers are satisfyingly tactile, and the face buttons register quick presses with minimal travel. Even with all the tech packed into the Envision Pro controller, the battery life is impressive, averaging around 20 hours of continuous play. Recharge times are fast as well and the controller supports play-and-charge functionality via USB-C, ensuring you’re never out of the game for long. SCUF’s customization software deserves special mention offering a user-friendly interface however can be very overwhelming considering the amount of customization options and PC performance it monitors including the heat of all the processor cores, GPU, overall PC heat, processor speed, etc.. Users can calibrate stick sensitivity, remap all buttons, adjust vibration levels, and fine-tune profiles with ease. The software’s cloud-save function syncs settings across devices, making it ideal for gamers who play on multiple PCs or require frequent adjustments for tournament play. While the Envision Pro is a premium controller, the price point clearly reflects that. However, it is in line with other competitors in the market and is definitely worth consideration for serious gamers seeking an edge. Casual players may find less need for the advanced features, but the Envision Pro offers enough versatility to appeal to a broad spectrum. Despite the price, the Envision Pro sets itself above the rest of the competition, as expected from a company whos heart and soul is poured into this work of art and will, I’m sure, remain a top choice for PC gamers who value control and personalization.

I really enjoy the gameplay overall, it has some nice navigation you can customize your button settings.

Very great product always deserved a five stars, best recommendation for any one

I wanted to pick up a new wireless controller with Hall-Effect sticks, as my last pro controller started to get stick drift. I’ve heard good things about SCUF and saw they were launching the SCUF Envision Pro Wireless Gaming Controller with Hall-Effect joysticks, so I decided to pick one up. Pros: - Mechanical buttons and Hall-Effect Joysticks. - Remappable buttons for customization. - Multiple onboard profile storage. Cons: - Swapping Joysticks requires disassembling controller. - ICue remapping can be confusing. Unboxing: Unboxing the SCUF Envision Pro shows a great deal of thought and care went into the packaging design. On opening the box, you’ll find a “STOP!” message instructing you to download the ICue software first before trying to use the Envision Pro. I expected there to be software needed, so this was not a surprise, but the good news is you only need it for initial setup and configuration, then you can turn off ICue if you don’t already use it. Included in the box was the Controller with plenty of protective packaging to prevent damage in shipping, the USB-A receiver, a box of accessories, and spare buttons. The box of accessories has a USB-A to USB-C cable, with an USB-A to USB-C adapter, pry tool for removing the cover of the controller to switch joysticks, and 2 alternative joysticks of different height. At this point, I expect premium controllers to come with some level of customization for the buttons and joysticks. My only complaint with SCUF is that the joysticks are not easier to swap, I wish they were screw on rather than requiring removing the controller top plate to swap. Software: SCUF uses the Corsair ICue software to manage the updates and configuration. This makes it easy for anyone who uses Corsair Fans or components, as you’ll most likely already have the software installed. As mentioned, you need to update the firmware and drivers to make the controller work initially, but after that all configurations are saved to the onboard profiles, so you don’t need to keep ICue open in the background to use it. The onboard profiles allow you to save 3 different configurations to the controller allowing for adhoc switching while gaming. ICue allows you to customize the remappable buttons, joystick curves, trigger behavior, and vibrations then save it to a profile. The presets are good and align by game type, such as Default/Sports, Shooters/Battle Royale, and Racing/Fighting. If the presets don’t fit your style, you can make your own custom curve which is straightforward with drag and drop dots, like creating a fan curve. Same applies for the Trigger curves. The only part I found a bit cumbersome, was the remapping as it required creating individual mappings which can cause confusion if you’re not familiar. To remap, first you navigate to the Mappings tab then select the yellow “+” to create a custom mapping. Then select the mapping type, the physical remappable button on the controller, and what button you are binding. This will mostly make sense, except because of the way ICue works, you can inadvertently add multiple mappings to the same physical button which will cause a conflict on a single profile. This is because you can create all the mappings you would potentially use, then save them to the Library to then apply to any profile without having to create the mapping on each profile. It makes more sense when you have multiple profiles that you switch between. Alternatively, you can select the button on the visual to click through the options to create the mapping, but that still ends up in the Custom Mappings section. Use: The joystick layout resembles a PlayStation style controller while the buttons are the Xbox Y/B/X/A. The controller shape is more like an Xbox/generic controller but with softer edges, which I prefer as most controllers I own are Xbox and PC compatible. The top controller plate has a smooth matte feel to it, which is a nice touch compared to the standard plastic material. The bottom of the controller is split into the underside which is the standard plastic feel and the grips which are a texturized rubber that provides amazing grip but also good airflow. I found that even in intense shooters or battle royals, I never had an issue keeping a grip on the controller or my palms getting too sweaty. The remappable buttons are located on the bottom near the edges (4 of them, 2 on each side) and side of the controller (1 on each side), for a total of 6 remappable buttons plus the 5 G keys below the joysticks. I’m not as familiar with the button’s placement, so it will take a month or 2 for me to get used to the different placement. Especially the side buttons as I’ve pressed those more than once on accident already, resulting in a tossed grenade or ability used when unnecessary. My biggest concern with the remappable buttons is the sleekness or low-profile design. The side buttons make sense to be low profile, but underneath, it makes pressing the buttons awkward for my controller grip type, which I prefer using larger paddles or switches in the middle of the controller. It’ll take a little getting used to, but I think I’ll get the hang of it or just keep throwing grenades at my feet. Buttons & Joysticks: The quality put into the joystick and buttons is the main draw here. The Anti-Drift joysticks use Hall-Effect to prevent stick drift while providing a smooth and customizable joystick. As mentioned, you can adjust pretty much the whole joystick experience from deadzones to acceleration based on distance moved. Not to mention the Hall-Effect sticks just feel more responsive and connected, there isn’t any give or slowness to the movement. The mechanical buttons make a solid feel that is a huge improvement over membrane buttons, it’s like the tactile difference between a standard keyboard and a mechanical keyboard. The click just makes it feel more responsive. Similarly, the Triggers have both a trigger lock and the ability to adjust the activation distance, which is critical in shooters or battle royals where whoever pulls the trigger first usually wins the fight. Spare Parts: Included in the accessory box are customizable joystick lengths and keycaps for the side and bottom buttons. For the Joysticks, I do wish they were easier to swap out. Having to remove the controller top faceplate does make it a bit more involved than just swapping the joystick and thump pad. Additionally, I would have loved to see different button types for the side and bottom buttons instead of just keycaps without the lettering. Overall, I’m glad to have spare parts as it’s one less thing I’ll need to order if the current one breaks but it could be improved. Battery Life & Wireless: The battery life has been great, with over 5 days of use on a single charge with about 3-6 hours per day of use. Charging doesn’t take long, depending on the charger you have, but even if you need to charge while gaming you can just keep playing using the wireless mode without interruption. The wireless performance was amazing, I’ve had issues with some wireless controllers for PC being not as responsive as the wired alternative. That was not the case with the Envision Pro, the wireless stayed connected regardless of where I played in the room, though I usually play on the PC from a desk chair so I’m not far away. Conclusion: The SCUF Envision Pro is one of the top tier Pro Gaming controllers, providing 6 remappable buttons, Hall-Effect Joysticks, and Mechanical buttons that make you feel more connected with the game. The in-hand feel is amazingly comfortable, and wireless ability gives you all the comfort and freedom to play how you want to play. Overall, I’m more than happy with the SCUF Envision Pro controller, and happy to add it to my list of favorite gaming controllers.

As a ‘Pro’ controller the Scuf Envision Pro hits pretty much all the major points. It’s got a high-end look and feel, tons of extra buttons, lots of customizability, and now it has hall effect joysticks. If you’re a PC gamer who, like me, still prefers a controller for most games, this is a good option. The box includes the controller, a wireless USB dongle, 2 alternative joysticks, blanking plates for the extra buttons, and a braided USB cable that also includes a USB-A to USB-C adapter. Overall it’s a good set of parts, though I would have like to see a case in the package (that can be bought separately though). The wireless dongle is a bit large and sticks out quite prominently on my laptop, but if you have a PC where you can hide it in the back it’s not too much of an issue. The controller feels like sort of a merging between an Xbox-style form factor, with a Playstation-style thumbstick layout. I personally prefer the asymmetric Xbox thumbstick layout, but it was easy to get used to this. The face buttons have a mouse click style actuation with a very quiet press and shallow travel. I didn’t think I’d like them very much from my initial impression, but since I’ve gotten more time with the controller I’ve grown to appreciate them a lot more. The D-pad has a similar clicky style and it is one area I wish there was a little bit more feedback in the movement, but overall I was happy with it for my uses. I don’t play a lot of precision platformers or fighting games, so the D-pad is less important to me. The default thumbsticks have concave domes and textured edges. The triggers can be adjusted between full travel analog or they can be locked to a digital input - there is no inbetween travel adjustment like there is on something like Xbox Elite Series 2. For extra buttons, there are 4 on the bottom of the controller, 2 on the sides near the bumpers, and 5 on the front near the headphone jack. The side buttons and 2 of the bottom buttons can be blanked out if you do not want to use them, which I did. For the bottom buttons especially, I found that it was very easy for me to hit them accidentally the way I grip my controller. The top cover plate on the controller is magnetically attached and can be swapped out for one of the many options Scuf offers for some customizability. The rubberized grips around the back feel great. I’d call the overall build quality excellent. For customizing the controller, this is primarily done via the Corsair iCUE software. I’ve used iCUE in the past and for me, it’s not my favorite. If I was more in the Corsair ecosystem I might like it a little more, but for just 1 or 2 devices, there’s a lot of extra areas of the software dedicated to hardware monitoring, light control, etc. that are just not that useful to me and I don’t think it’s that intuitive to use. The part of it that lets customize the controller is functional at least though and there’s a ton you can do in there. You can change the thumbstick and trigger behaviors, remap inputs, update firmware, pretty much anything I could think of. You can do on device programming, though most of the advanced stuff does depend on the iCUE software. For long gaming sessions, the controller feels great to use. It does feel like a controller that is geared more towards larger hands. The buttons all feel great and I really like how silent everything is. The thumbsticks are on the looser side to me, but have just enough tension to keep them compliant. It was easy to forget I was using it after a while. Latency felt good in both wired and wireless modes - I do wish Bluetooth was here for a little extra flexibility, but wireless is only via the large USB dongle. Overall I’m generally very happy with the Scuf Envision Pro. It’s a great high-end controller that for me is only slightly let down by the clunky software. There’s no compatibility with Playstation, Switch, or Xbox here, so this is strictly a PC affair. If that’s your platform though it’s a good option.

The Scuf Envision Wireless Pro is a Windows-based gaming controller. It has numerous customizable buttons and supports iCue software by Corsair for RGB lighting. For those that want quick information, here’s a list of the Pros and Cons. You can read more following the list. Pros • Solid Build – like the grip • Lots of input buttons • Numerous customizable buttons • Wired or Wireless Cons • Have to install 2 pieces of software to use it • RGB lighting seems limited • Not sure that I like the “clicky” arrow pad • No storage case for the controller and extra pieces • No paper instructions in the box (make sure that you read the QR code instructions) Setting It Up Works with Windows. This controller can be used with Slipstream Wireless or the USB-A to USB-C cable that comes with it (also has an adapter to change the USB-A to USB-C). I have been connecting directly to my computer via USB cable, so I have not used the Slipstream dongle (USB-A). You need to install two pieces of software; iCue by Corsair and Envision. Install iCue first on the PC. Then, plug in the controller and let the PC directly download the Envision software from the controller. My controller required a firmware update from the Envision software, so I let that run before using the controller. There were no paper instructions in the box, which is a pet peeve of mine. There was at least a QR code to scan which took me to the instructions. That’s the only place that told me what two pieces of software I needed and how to install them. Charging Uses an internal lithium-ion battery. Charges through a USB-C plug. Charging cord provided is a USB-A to USB-C braided-style cord that’s approximately 6 feet long. Cord has a premium build and is fairly flexible. The cable is a little shorter than what some other manufacturers offer. Controller Build Quality Everything feels like a solid build. The controller has some heft to it, and feels nicer than a standard PS5 controller. The first thing that I noticed when I picked it up is that it felt like it had a good grip texture. The buttons and arrow pad have mechanical buttons that are “clicky” when you press them. I wasn’t expecting the arrow pad to be “clicky”. Using the Controller Size – I have larger hands and feel that the controller is a pretty good size for me. It’s similar in size and shape to a PS5 controller. Buttons / Triggers – I’m not really sure where to begin. There’s so many of them that I haven’t used them all yet. If you are looking for lots of programmable buttons, this is where the Scuff Envision Pro shines. It does seem difficult to program them, but once you do it a few times I’m guessing that you’ll get the hang of it. Audio Port – If you need a physical audio port, there’s one 3.5mm jack built into the controller. Accurate – Hall Effect thumbsticks prevent drift and seem to work really well. I did not notice any drift while playing. RGB – In my opinion the RGB lighting is rather limited. With this being an iCue connected device I was hoping for more out of the RGB lighting. It’s mostly a gray controller. The iCue capability is what grabbed my attention when I was selecting the device. Conclusion I would like to give the Scuf Envision Pro wireless controller 3.5 stars. Since Best Buy doesn’t use half star ratings, I’ll bump it up to 4. It works well and has a ton of customizable buttons and input buttons. The build quality is pretty nice all around. I was disappointed in the RGB lighting as this could have been better. Other controllers in this price range offer a storage case, which I think it should have been included.

I flip from a keyboard/mouse setup to controller based on the game and coming from a Console / PS5 Pro controller I felt the absolute need to give Scuf Envision Pro 2 model a chance - especially since I was moving my other one between PC & PS5 and it was getting old. Here are some pros / cons for my fellow gamers: Good: Cool look / color Button and Trigger Responsiveness No Stick Drift Button Feel / rear grip LEDs & Haptic Meh: Inner buttons Weight iCue App interaction (Corsair) Game Interop Issues at times Bad: USB-A Dongle I had only seen Scuf controllers before but never actually picked one up - but then again I was on PS5 and opted for the Pro controller (with sweet case). There's a nice braided nylon cable, extra joysticks, D-pad and some blanks, to get rid of the buttons if you don't want them. A magnetic faceplate allows ease of customization Right away, I liked the look. Also, I felt a bit more heft than my traditional DualSense & not as much as my DualSense Edge and with the grip on this Scuf EP2 controller, it stood out as a contender. Enter my 'seriously' moment for the USB-A dongle - as I don't have much for ports for USB-A these days. I followed the directions and installed the software first, which after connecting it to the PC, and both units got their software/firmware updated without issue. The iCue App leaves a bit to be desired in some aspects. For example, I wanted to keep the Shooter key map profile and tune some parts; you can't and need to create a new profile. The problem to me, is that you can't start with the key map you wanted, copy / paste to a new profile & just change the two buttons that I wanted to - I needed to start from scratch and that is TIME CONSUMING. If you're a heavy gamer, I'm sure the hour to set up keymaps is fine, but for me, I'd prefer to just tune/tweak where necessary. A quick profile switch button is pretty sweet though - saving me from having to open the software to change. LED customization is pretty simple and allowed for a relatively quick adjustment to sync with my other lights - keyboard/mouse/laptop keys & E-Sports are where I use controller most, so accuracy is key. Stick drift during a race or when trying to sink that last putt can cause a crash or final putt to win the tournament. With the Scuf EP2, I never experienced any drift and after calibration, seemed even more touchy - which to me is a good thing. Button presses are tactile and have to travel less that what I see in the DualSense and the triggers can go from full action, to a invoking the trigger stop to create a smaller travel distance when quick trigger reactions are needed. I did find that during some racing games like Forza, when L2 had the rear trigger stop slid - that reverse wouldn't work and required the full travel distance of the trigger to get it to do that - so test before you go into a ranked game to be sure your buttons all work as expected. Some extra function buttons - G Keys - are at the bottom and offer some quick system-type access by default and are totally customizable with the iCue App as well. The inner buttons and side action buttons can sometimes get in my way, so swapping them out with the blanks took away a lot of the mis-clicks I had when gripping to tight - what a great idea to have those blanks! All in all, I believe I can now retire my PS5 Pro controller and send it back to my PS5 while keeping the Scuf Envision Pro 2 controller at my gaming computer permanently. Recommended!

Having a controller has opened up a new world of PC gaming for me. I've always been keyboard and mouse but with this SCUF controller, I’ve really been able to expand the genre of games that I play and it's awesome! Not only does this controller open up new gaming opportunities, but it is one of the best controllers I’ve ever held in my hands, and I’ve played on many different console controllers. The build of this controller is very high quality. The mechanical switches used throughout this controller provide a fantastic tactile feel and are very responsive. One of my favorite and stand out features of this controller are the adjustable triggers which allow you to switch between mouse-like rapid fire clicky triggers for FPS games or full trigger pull for racing games at the flip of a switch on the trigger itself. The controller has a great ergonomic feel to it and the materials used provide a comfortable grip as well as a high performance grip on the underside of the controller which prevents slips when gaming. I also like the symmetrical thumbstick design vice being offset. It just feels better in the hand. The customization of this controller is virtually limitless. 11 customizable buttons and triggers throughout the controller provide such a vast array of options for different games. The controller also comes with deletion inserts if you choose not to use the additional side buttons or the two buttons on the back of the controller. This gives you the ability to customize the controller even further to prevent accidental activation of the extra buttons if you chose not to use them. The software is ok. Its Corsairs iCue software so if you are already familiar with it, it will not pose any challenges. I have many Corsair devices so I am familiar with the software but I feel like for new users, the iCue software isn't very intuitive. This doesn't really take away from the controller but it can be a learning curve for some users. Battery life seems decent. I wouldn't say it's spectacular. If you don't care about RGB, turn it off to get a little more juice out of it. You also have the option to use it wired which is great if you run into issues with battery life. For me, I don't play long enough in a single session to have to worry about battery life. I will say, the low latency wireless connection is great. I can't tell much difference at all from a latency perspective between wired and wireless. This is one of the best controllers on the market for PC gamers and the quality and performance of the controller speaks for itself. If you are in the market for a controller for PC gaming, I would highly recommend the SCUF Envision Pro controller.

PROS Multiple Buttons and Triggers with Near Perfect Placement Fully Configurable Anti-Drift Hall Effect Thumbsticks Replaceable parts and switches included Restrained RGB integration Long Battery Life with USB-C charging Dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack CONS Multiple Buttons mean accidental triggers Still needs a software & firmware update or two Random missed inputs makes gameplay frustrating CONFIGURATION The Scuf Envision is configured and controlled by Corsair's iCue software. While not my favorite software, it is easy enough to use and configure the Envision. Button assignments and configurations are easy to find and require next to no learning curve. iCue has come a long way since it was first introduced back in the day and every iteration becomes more and more streamlined. Corsair includes several different modules upon installation that I wish you could opt out of prior to install. While I appreciate their efforts, I also would like to see a lighter version of the installation, without all the pre-installed monitoring components. USE Both myself and my kid are PC gamers. We have tried other controllers in the past and have found limited appeal. Unintuitive software, awkward button and switch placements left us wanting and unimpressed. We both found ourselves going back to the tried and true Xbox controllers, whether they be the Elites or just the standard models, they are familiar and work without fault. The Scuf Envision Pro is the first controller that we can both agree gives our go-to a run for its money. Like I said earlier, other "Pro" controllers just left us disappointed. So much so, that we often didn't use them more than an hour or so and gave up. I have spent many, many hours now with the Scuf and that says a lot. The extra buttons and switches are great! There are so many more options the user now has compared to my base model controller that it actually has a learning curve. Things that I typically didn't have enough buttons or switches to make dedicated actions for, now I can. All with the easy to understand iCue software. Not to mention that unlike others' "Pro" models, the Envision seems like it has been made specifically for me. The buttons, switches, and triggers all fall exactly where I would normally hold the controller. From the side buttons, to the underside switches, they fall perfectly where you would hold the controller while gaming. Activations are intuitive and exactly where you need them to be without readjusting your grip to make the inputs. CONS With all those buttons a switches falling exactly where you would hold the controller, I find that I often inadvertently actuate a command. Not all the time, but especially during intense action sequences, your reflexes (or at least mine) often push those buttons or switches when I didn't intend to. Secondly, the Scuf Envision still needs a firmware update. Unlike my current base model controller that absolutely never misses an input, the Scuf misses a few inputs from time to time. It isn't all the time, it is random. But, it is often enough to be frustrating. I've been playing a bunch of Doom Dark Ages lately and I find that controller fails to recognize inputs, especially off the left trigger, thereby failing to raise the Slayer's shield. Additionally, while playing just last night, I noticed that controller inputs seemed to freeze for several seconds. I could not get the character to do anything on screen. I was hitting buttons, attempting to fight back and nothing was being received. This is an issue I've NEVER experienced with my previous controller. I would expect a more reliable connection from the Scuf using its dedicated 2.4GHz Slipstream connection. CONCLUSIONS Even with the random hiccups from the Scuf, it isn't enough for me to put it back in the box. I really appreciate how thoughtfully and well-designed the product is. Button placements, switch locations, everything feels, and is located, nearly perfectly. At least for me anyway. I have confidence that Corsair will continue their refinement of the Envision Pro and can squash the bugs that still plague the controller. If I were a competitive gamer, I would most likely feel differently, but as a casual gamer, that enjoys a good campaign, the Scuf Envision makes games easier and more enjoyable to play. Games like Doom Dark Ages that have combinations that require multiple and specific button combinations to perform are much easier on the Envision. That is what gaming is all about. I have found that Doom is markedly easier to play with the Scuf versus my previous base model controller. If only my skills were this easily improved. RECOMMENDED

📦 UNBOXING: Inside the box, you’ll find the SCUF Envision Pro V2 controller, the wireless USB-A dongle, a USB-C to USB-A cable with a USB-A to USB-C adapter pre-attached, two more thumbsticks variants, and blank-out pieces for the SAX buttons and two inner rear paddles. 💪 BUILD: The Envision Pro V2 takes more cues from the DualSense controller than it does from the Xbox controller. While it does use the same ABXY action button layout that the Xbox uses, the analog thumbsticks are inline like the PlayStation controller. However, the Envision Pro V2 does use Omron switches in the ABXY buttons, D-Pad, and triggers. This makes for a more tactile and clicky experience. There is no share button on the controller like the newest Xbox controllers, either. It does have the View button and Menu button like the Xbox controller, as well as the power button and a profile button that lets you switch between 3 profiles. Also on the face of the controller, you have the G1 thru G5 buttons, and an LED array below them which can indicate which profile you have enabled. On the left and right side axis (SAX) of each controller is a remappable button, and on the rear you have 4 remappable paddles. It also has an audio combo jack for a headset. The triggers have adjustable locks to create “instant triggers”. This allows for a quick experience like digital triggers for precision platformers and first person shooters, while racing games that rely on analog triggers can use more variable sensitivity with the locks disengaged. The Envision Pro v2 also uses anti-drift hall-effect thumbsticks, which is becoming more ubiquitous among good third-party controllers, although TMR seems to be the new gold standard due to its lower power consumption. In any case, it’s nice to see SCUF using thumbsticks that should avoid drift issues of typical potentiometer thumbsticks. Lastly, the Envision Pro V2 has a removable face plate held in by magnets. So if you want to customize your look, you can purchase alternative face plates made by SCUF. 🛠️ SETUP: There was a firmware update out of the box for me, and you’ll need to use the Corsair iCUE software to do it. The software thankfully doesn’t require an account to use it, and you don’t need to use iCUE long-term if you don’t want to, as you can enable the device memory mode in the iCUE software so that mappings are saved on the hardware. However, this device memory mode is not as full-featured as using it with iCUE running. But it does mean it can work across PCs and devices without needing iCUE installed or running. For me, this is particularly desirable since I use multiple PC’s. But the fact that iCUE doesn’t have any sort of account system with cloud-syncing means that folks with more advanced customizations within iCUE will have to export their profiles and transfer them between PC’s using other methods. ☁️ COMFORT: The Envision Pro V2 is a comfortable controller, in my experience. While I normally prefer the offset thumbstick layout, I didn’t mind this layout. I also found it pretty easy to access all 4 rear paddles without much issue, but I do think the inner paddles are a bit more difficult to press than some other controllers I’ve used. The grip on the back is also quite good, so you shouldn’t have to worry about the controller slipping out of your hand during a session. Frankly, my biggest complaint (and not even that big of a complaint) is the general accessibility of the side axis buttons. These SAX buttons have been controversial, and I think it’s likely that more than half of the folks who use this controller may find that they won’t use these buttons simply because they’ll accidentally trigger them, or find it hard to trigger them. It will depend on the games you play, how you hold the controller, and the shape of your hand, but I just didn’t find myself preferring the SAX buttons as a way of interacting with the controller. Thankfully, you can replace the buttons with blank-out pieces if you don’t want to accidentally trigger these buttons. 💿 SOFTWARE: Right off the bat, I don’t understand why device memory mode can only be enabled while the controller is plugged in via USB mode, while it can be disabled wirelessly. And I don’t understand why the RGB LED on the controller doesn’t correctly correspond to one of my 3 onboard hardware profiles whenever I start the controller in device memory mode with iCUE running in the background. I hope Corsair/SCUF can fix this in the future, as it took me a while to understand which profile I was running because of this bug. In my experience, if you plan to run in Device Memory Mode, you should make sure your PC doesn’t auto-start iCUE at login, as this will prevent the controller from showing the correct color via its LED. Additionally, you cannot configure the onboard mappings when hooked up wirelessly. Even when connected via USB, you need to remove the wireless receiver, as it won’t let you configure the onboard mappings as long as the wireless receiver is connected. This is a pretty poor and confusing software experience, in my opinion. And for whatever reason, Eco Mode seems to automatically enable whenever you switch to Device Memory Mode. If you do plan to use it with all the iCUE features as opposed to onboard mappings, the iCUE software will need to be running in the background. You can configure the lighting effects, mappings, thumbstick and trigger sensitivity, vibration intensity, and run a controller calibration wizard. While Device Memory Mode only allows you to re-map the back paddles and side axis buttons to trigger other game pad actions, the iCUE mode allows you to remap every input on the controller other than the View, Menu, Power and Profile buttons—so yes, the G1 thru G5 buttons can be remapped, as well. The downside is that outside of Device Memory Mode, all buttons have to be remapped through the iCUE interface, so you cannot re-map inputs on-the-fly from the controller, but you can toggle between profiles from the controller. The user experience of remapping controls is a bit unintuitive, however. I want to be able to click on the button, thumbstick or trigger on the diagram then quickly select what I want to remap it to, but this experience only applies to the G buttons, the SAX buttons, and the rear paddles. If you want to re-map the D-Pad, thumbsticks, bumpers & triggers, or ABXY action buttons, then you have to go through a different “Custom Mappings” menu. There’s no clear rhyme or reason for this to the end-user, and setting up a custom mapping this way is also more clunky in my experience. Corsair/SCUF should really look at how competitors are achieving this capability with fewer clicks. 🎮 HARDWARE REMAPPING If you opt to use Device Memory Mode, remapping requires you to hold the profile button until the LED array begins blinking. Then, you simply press and hold the paddle or side axis button you want to remap, then additionally press the button you want to remap it to. Unfortunately, you cannot re-map the G buttons in this mode. Once you are done remapping, you can simply press the profile button and it will exit mapping mode and the LED array will stop blinking. While I do like the idea that I can re-map multiple buttons without having to press the profile button for each button I want to remap, I do feel like the fact that I have to hold the Profile button for 3 seconds to enter remapping mode is a bit inconvenient. A similar controller I own allows me to remap by holding the Profile button, immediately pressing the paddle/button I want to remap, then subsequently pressing the action that I want it remapped to. It can take less than half a second to do this, and it can be very powerful to quickly test out your bindings in a game without having to enter and leave a mapping mode. I’d like to see similar functionality on the SCUF Envision Pro V2 through a firmware update. 🔋 BATTERY: While the v2 figures are not posted anywhere, SCUF claims that the v1 controller should last about 19 hours on a charge. I wouldn’t expect a significant deviation from this on this v2, but with the upgrade of hall effect thumbsticks, it’s also possible that the controller could see some degradation in battery performance unless SCUF increased the battery capacity or found other ways to reduce power consumption. So unfortunately, it has pretty standard battery performance, and might even be a bit worse than a normal Xbox controller with high quality AA batteries. 🧐 CONCLUSION: In the end, I think the SCUF Envision Pro V2 has good overall hardware, but it’s let down a bit by its iCUE software experience. Thankfully, you can get around some of that with the device memory mode as long as you’re okay with the compromises. With that said, this is still a good controller experience—just not “great”. While I do think Corsair/SCUF could iron out some of the weird bugs and user experience issues, it’s really a question of whether they will. The ergonomics are solid, the Omron mechanical switches feel very responsive for gaming, and the Device Memory Mode is helpful for re-mapping from the controller without iCUE.

It's great to see more controllers go in this direction. Lots of buttons with no limits on mapping. For years I have used REWASD with some success but still have to make sacrifices to incorporate multiple pieces of equipment to get my desired control scheme. The envision pro gives me all that map ability extra buttons in in various locations that I never thought would be comfortable. First off, let's point out what it's not. It is not a Bluetooth controller meant to use across all devices. This controller is specifically for optimizing gameplay on a particular PC. How it's set up, it's not meant to move around, or be an all your device type controller. This controller is set up for your main gaming station and I appreciate that it can take full advantage of its identity. I have plenty of peripherals and controllers that are mobile to be moved from system to system, but they lack some of the main features that make this controller amazing for what it does. So let's get into the actual controller itself. It is extremely comfortable and very precise. From fighter to open world adventure, the controls are tight and concise. Easily. One of the best controllers I've used, including the console controllers that I typically adapt to my gaming configuration. The one experience that I want to point out is specifically the use for a game like Red Dead Redemption 2. With the Envision, I can further eliminate the need for switching back and forth between keyboard and controller with the additional buttons that are completely mappable. Speaking of those buttons, I've never seen a used in the controller like this. This Gene is great! Ingenuity from Corsair. They take a little getting used to but once you do, it seamlessly integrates into the gameplay without a hitch. Shore point of connectivity, I had no issue. From using the USBC cable to using the wireless dongle, it was plug and play right away with no connectivity issues and the firmware upgrade went smoothly as well. From my experience it was as flawless as you could get it. Now, for the software. I enjoy it. It reminds me of REWASD. If you take the time to go through it, it is very deep. It gives you everything you need to map out whatever you need and plenty of tools to make sure all your connections and controls are tight and concise. Even making sure that your sticks have no dead zones. If you're into matching RGB lighting, they have lots of choices in details to get the most out of your controller aesthetics. Now, as I mentioned above, I would consider this controller a mainstay for an individual PC, but since it has the option to do either the dongle or USBC, you could technically move it from one device to another, which I do plan on doing. It'll be a bit tedious because I have to set it up on each system how I like it, but when you're putting in time and gaming and you want the best controls possible, it takes a little more customization and I'm okay with that. And that's about it. I own an Xbox elite controller, the Turtle Beach stealth ultra and I'm glad to integrate the Envision Pro to the setup, and it easily holds his own against either of those premium priced controllers. With its advanced mapping and capability I may even be able to move away from the new model of REWASD. If you're looking for great controls with ultimate customization, this would be my pick. Happy gaming!

I'm really happy with this controller. After having tried many out there this is on of the few ones that feel sturdy, built like a tank and with no frills (like unnecessary screens and features). It came on a small box, they include the USB wireless dongle, a large braided charging USB type C and A cable, an extra set of taller thumbsticks, a cover for the buttons on the back. Customizing these is very easy, the whole face plate comes out (which you can change if you want a different color). Once you do pop it out you can change the thumbsticks. Also per their webpage, the batter is easily accessible this way, so if it dies or you need a new one in the future you can access it just easy like that from the front to replace it. The thumbsticks are the new hall effect type (they use magnetism) and unlike the regular ones (potentiometer), these don't fall prey of the dreaded stick drift over time. The triggers feel amazing and you can also customize them to but super responsive, almost like a mouse click (good for shooters) or the traditional way that the more you press them, the more it activates an action on a game (good for racing games i.e.). The face buttons surprised me too, they are super responsive and have little travel to activate. I was expecting the regular long travel and mushiness from regular controllers, but not here, precise and super fast actuation, had to kind to acclimate to that! Once you charge it and plug it on the PC, Corsair's iCue software is needed to further customize the control. It will also check if there is any new firmware updates. I was a little apprehensive about iCue, its been many years since I have use it and I remember it was kind of "bloaty". Well, it seems they have been at work with it and now seems modern and easy to use. With the software you can customize the triggers amount of travel, when they actuate etc. Also the back buttons (great for driving games). The controller also has 5G buttons on the front you can customize them to do whatever you want (they have some presets out of the box), think of them kind of like macro buttons. Finally you can customize the RGB lighting, which can be turned off too. They have pre made profiles in the software (like for shooters, racing, adventure games etc). However you can create your own, and the best part, you can save them to the controller itself (I think you can save up to 3 or so, so lets say you want to take it to your friends place, the preset are saved on hardware, so you don't need to install iCue there). If you want a control with great features, that feels amazing and sturdy this is the one for you!

Physically, I really like the overall design and color scheme. The matte gray finish makes it subtle and sophisticated in my opinion. The orange accents below the thumbsticks and the RGB lighting on the bottom give it a bit of a gamer vibe. For a second I thought the top area was touch-enabled but it’s just for show, since the thumbsticks are symmetrical. The controller has some weight which I prefer, and the rubbery surface provides a nice grip. The face can be popped off and replaced with another color scheme. It feels very premium. This controller features a myriad of buttons. Most of them are mechanical, which gives them that clicky feel. Surprisingly, the d-pad is also mechanical, and takes some time to get used to, especially if you play fighting games with quarter/diagonal moves. I did not notice any false diagonals. The triggers and shoulder buttons feel great and ergonomic. The trigger buttons can be adjusted from full analog to hair-trigger styles with a lever underneath. There are paddle buttons on the sides and underneath as well, which can be disabled by removing them or remapped through software. There are five customizable buttons on the bottom which handle volume by default. The hall effect thumbsticks are super precise and feel natural when playing fast games. Scuf provided dome-style analog heads for those who prefer that instead of concave. The controller can be used in wired and wireless mode. While I prefer wireless mode, which is highly responsive, I still use it in wired mode when playing competitively. The controller offers a 3.5mm jack, which is nice when using a Hi-Fi wired headset. Now, in order to properly use this controller, you must download the iCUE software. Doing so will not only update and make the controller work as it should but also provides a robust set of modifications and customization. It allows for remapping buttons (including keyboard mapping), adjust trigger/stick sensitivity, RGB lighting, vibration, and calibration. One can get truly deep into it, so I appreciate that any changes can be saved in profiles. If there are any nitpicks, is that it does not feature Bluetooth connectivity, which would have been amazing when playing on my handheld PC when connected to a monitor. Also, gyro controls would have been nice. When it’s all said and done, this is not a cheap controller. However, the Envision Pro feels and performs as expected from a Pro designation. It brings so much to those who like to tinker and customize their PC controller experience and take to the next level.

For the last week, I've been testing the SCUF - Envision Pro Wireless Gaming Controller for PC. Overall, this is a fantastic, highly customizable controller with excellent ergonomics and nice tactile buttons. Its only drawback is that it doesn't work without installing iCUE. The SCUF Envision Pro was a breeze to set up. I simply downloaded the Corsair iCUE software, updated the firmware for both the controller and the slipstream dongle, and it was ready to go. As a pro controller, it's packed with customizable buttons, all of which can be remapped within the iCUE software. However, I think the default configuration of the remappable buttons is perfect for FPS games. Additionally, it has G-keys along the bottom. These keys are also remappable, but by default, they conveniently control my computer's volume, which comes in handy for when I'm not using headphones. The ergonomics are another standout feature. The tactile ABXY buttons, D-Pad, triggers, and rubber grip pads make the controller very comfortable to use and hold, even during long gaming sessions. The anti-drift sticks work great and can be precision-tuned in the iCUE app. The paddles are perfectly placed on the back of the controller so they can be actuated with a simple squeeze of the index finger. It can be used both wired and wirelessly. Wired will get you the lowest latency, but the wireless is just as good. My only issue with the controller came when I went to switch from my gaming computer to my laptop. I did not have iCUE on my laptop, and the controller would not work until I installed it. I would have liked for it to have a driver that isn't dependent on the iCUE software. With all that said, I still think this is a fantastic gaming controller and I highly recommend it. It just loses a star due to the iCUE dependence.

Scuf is no stranger to the gaming world and is almost a must have for those seeking the competitive FPS (First person shooter) gaming edge. The quick and easy take down makes maintenance on the controller quick and easy which in turn helps eliminate stick drift. The question truly becomes not so much if this is a good unit but rather or not this is the right fit for your gaming needs. This review was done while testing out the controller on a PC, for context. \Out of the box you get everything you need to get you going including additional paddle change outs along with two additional thumbstick. The added removal tool also makes thumbstick removal a breeze, which helps to eliminate fracturing during replacement. The controller uses hall effect type sensors rather than the typical potentiometer style sensors for the thumbsticks which in turn gives you a dead steady aim with no worry about unwanted movement. Why should you care about this feature? Simply put potentiometer type sensors use a full contact sensor which changes resistance value as you move it. This in turn allows the game to determine and calculate your movement direction and speed. The problem with that set up is number 1 - its prone to wear since it is in constant contact and number 2 - its also more prone to debris getting in-between the contact surface areas which speeds up wear, and causes inaccuracies leading to stick drift. You ever set your controller down and wonder why your character is every so slightly moving or twitching? That is stick drift and you most likely have that type of sensor in your controller. I use hall effect sensors in my line of work and that's due to its accuracy and the fact that it makes no contact with the surface area via a laser and optical input sensor. This means your in game shots are dead on and accuracy can always be counted on due to eliminated stick drift. Every single button on the controller can be mapped including the five quick access buttons on the bottom. There is a rgb strip that lights up and can be changed. The controller can be played both wired or wireless and so far has yielded me 20 hours of run time with a remainder charge of 50%. You can set through the app your trigger pull points allowing you to dictate rather or not you want a hair trigger a long drawn out pull before engagement. Stick sensitivity and engagement can be altered as well. Here's the bottom line. This controller is no doubt quality through and through that is sure to last for years to come. It really doesn't matter what type of gamer you are, rather your a hardcore Fortnite or COD player or the casual Stardew to Red Dead player. If you are looking for a controller that wont give up on you in the middle of the game then this set up is a must have. This is my biggest and only gripe that needs to be mentioned and is definitely worth noting. Everything is ran through Corsair's iCue software, including firmware updates and button mapping. I love Corsair to death and even have a full Corsair gaming rig build, but the iCue software is broken and has been broken since it came out. What do i mean exactly? Let me explain my experience with the Scuf controller set up. First iCue was able to detect the controller and started to download the software. Somewhere during the download something went wrong and corrupted my current iCue software version. This meant i could not update the scuf controller or any of my corsair hardware i have set up. Easy fix, just delete and re-download right? LOL, you clearly have never used iCue if you think its that easy. It corrupted a file to the point to where i could not physically delete the software or download a new one. I had to manually go in to the back logs and completely remove the corrupted file and then delete iCue to start over. And trust me when i say this is very typical for iCue every few months or so. Scuf is such a awesome controller to have but man did they mess up bad integrating everything through the iCue software. If you are going to buy this controller and have never used iCue before just be ready for constant problems for the rest of your life. Other than that this is a must have for any gamer looking to level up.

I've mainly used official xbox controllers on my PC, but was very interested in this one given the SCUF legacy. I don't know when Corsair purchased SCUF, but It seems to have propelled them into household name. As most people know, SCUF as brand became popular modifying original OEM controllers back in the late 2000s (back trigger modification). Mostly used by competitive players on both consoles. The ENVISION line is the brands PC centric controller. This is the V2 model which adds hall effect sticks. INTITIAL IMPRESSIONS: Very premium unboxing experience. Nothing to really fault. You get the controller, two extra thumb sticks (one longer), extra block out inserts for the sides, a decent length braided cable (1.5m?) and 2.4G receiver. USE AND SUBJECTIVE THOUGHTS: This is being marketed as a PC controller and I sorta figured it would feel like a hybrid between a XBOX and PS5 controller, but I think it leans towards the PS5 more so.. Deal breaker? Not exactly, I'm just not the biggest fan of the ergonomics here, but it's not like its unusable. Would I prefer more of an XBOX shape? Yes. Performance is as expected. It's kind of weird to get used to the hair pin triggers.. Seems like I was used to the extra latency of full pull down on my XBOX one.. will take time to get adjusted. PROS: -Build quality? Very solid. No real flex and the overall grip is insanely good. Top plate has sort of a hydrophobic coating. -Innate polling rate? Seems to run around 500hz (2ms) native in both wired and wireless. -Hall effect sticks (V2 feature) seem to be very stable albeit quite sensitive for micro movement. Could be both a pro and a con, but this can be adjusted as far as sensitivity and dead zones go (software). I really recommend that most people spend time on this to dial in what they prefer. -Swappable sticks allow for extra control. -Microswitches on both DPAD and XABY -G keys (1-5) are awesome. Default volume control. CONS: -REQUIRES ICUE to enable XINPUT. Controller is a brick until you download and enable settings.. -ICUE IMHO is still terrible as far as SW goes. but it works and can be uninstalled once you load up the 3 default profiles to the controller. I recommend this as ICUE will interfere with the specific LED's per profile. -The OMRON switches are a little mushy or lack pre travel. Not what I expected. Speaking of this, the bottom back buttons don't have these microswitches, which is kind of let down. Only top side back ones are clicky. -The same upper back buttons are hard for me to hit per my grip on controller... just doesn't feel natural, but this is subjective. NEUTRAL: -Long battery life, but charges slow OVERALL: Aside from ICUE still being terrible vs other SW suites (personal opinion), I think this is a good PC controller if you prefer the PS5 shape and layout. It performs as expected and I don't think many people will be let down by this one. The benefit of grabbing one of these over a PS5 controller is the ability to have native XINPUT, which the PS5 controller does not support. The V2 upgrades the original Envision PRO with hall effect sticks, which are less likely to drift over time. This may be worth the upgrade alone for some people, even coming from the original ENVISION PRO. Would be cool if SCUF/Corsair came out with an XBOX style layout and ergonomics dedicated for PC. Maybe a Valor variant? Just a thought. There's likely something I missed, but It's pretty hard to really fault all around. 4/5.

Easily the best controller I used. I came from years of playing on playstation, so using this felt very natural, but multiple times better. The mouse clicks are great, I personally like a higher right stick thats domed, and this kit came with just that! The light bar is a cool touch, looked clean (had mine on purple) I would have liked to see bluetooth since you need the USB it comes with to connect wirelessly, but I do understand the connection is faster via the dongle. The trigger stops are great. The Triggers have a point and feel aggressive which is what you want for FPS games. I didnt use the side buttons much but its cool that they were there. The back paddles are in a decent spot, I opted for just the outside rear paddles and used the included coverings for the inside ones so I didnt accidentally click them. Well built, feels premium. Nice unboxing experience If you like controller MORE than mouse & keyboard, this is a great one to check
