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.

The Scuf Envision is a top-tier PC controller. It feels premium, comfortable, and built for long sessions. The customizable paddles and instant triggers give a real edge in fast games, while the software makes personalization easy. Sleek design, great performance — worth every dollar.

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

The Scuf Envision Pro V2 is one of the most advanced premium controllers for PC and Xbox. It’s designed for competitive players who want maximum customization, fast response times, and superior control in shooters and precision-based games.
5 additional side buttons
• 4 rear paddles
• 2 extra top buttons
In total, you get 11 extra inputs, something no standard controller comes close to offering.
The triggers feature a “mouse-click” mode, allowing much faster firing.
In shooters like Call of Duty or Battlefield, the difference is very noticeable. The controller feels solid, high-end, and extremely comfortable.
The textured grip helps maintain control even during long gaming sessions.

Really awesome controller. I love having the remapable buttons on the rear and sides. The buttons have a mouse-like clicking action and the battery lasts a long time. One thing to note however, I’ve had this controller for exactly one month and one of the buttons already has lost the click action and gets stuck, will have to exchange the controller. Also it is controlled through Corsair’s icue software.

While watching countless tech reviews, reading so many tech blogs and already having owned a variety of controllers, I stumbled across the Vantage Pro more than once. This controller leaves nothing to be desired, The software is awesome, the buttons feel great and the ability to just block off paddles and side buttons is amazing. I’ve owned this item for about a month and a half at this point and have had to charge it twice while playign for 4-6 hours DAILY. This thing is awesome and I can’t recommend it enough.

I purchased the SCUF Envision Pro v2 to replace my Xbox Elite 2 controller, and so far it has performed exceptionally well. The build quality feels solid, and I’ve experienced no stick drift or connectivity issues. I appreciate the PlayStation-style layout, which feels comfortable and intuitive during gameplay. The only feature I wish it included is a charging dock similar to the Elite series. Overall, a high-quality controller that I would definitely recommend.

Here is a polished controller review you can use or post:
This controller has easily been the best option I have used for FPS games and overall gaming. The responsiveness and precision make a noticeable difference in fast-paced shooters, especially with aiming and movement. I use it for every game I play, not just FPS titles, and it consistently performs at a high level. Even when playing on PC, it still gives me the comfort and familiarity of a controller without sacrificing accuracy or control. Long sessions feel natural and comfortable, with no hand fatigue. Overall, it delivers the perfect balance between competitive performance and comfort, making it my go-to controller for all games.

I went through several options before this one, Razer (great controller with horrible software), xbox elite (nice controller but had to use 3rd party software to set buttons to keyboard keys i needed), ps5 elite (solid controller but hated extra software needed and wasnt compatible in all games on steam for some reason), 8bitdo ultimate2 (very nice controller but mappable buttons could only be mapped to other controller buttons in software which is useless for a pc controller), and a few other lesser known brands.
My specific setup is i use the F20 and F22 keys for discord hotkeys and i want the extra buttons on the back of a controller to be them. I used REwasd with xbox elite but if your firmware on the controller lapsed it would black screen your desktop randomly and then you had to go check for an update because it wouldnt tell you there was one needed. The rest either couldnt be mapped to those function keys at all or need REwasd which some games pick up as cheating software (looking at you APEX...)
So i see SCUF is owned by Corsair now and i already used ICue sofrware meaning no new apps needed and i figured id give it a try. I went with this one because it is pc specific and has a ps style thumbsticks which makes the dpad more comfortable when playing older retro games.
Controller is great so far, has several mappable buttons, can be mapped to almost anything including macros or even entire applications, changeable faceplates for customization, thumbsticks and dpads are replaceable, buttons are mechanical so a satisfying click when using, can do custom lighting effects on the light bar and mapped buttons along the bottom, and it feels like a quality controller in the hand.
If you dont need it to connect to a console and only a pc this is a great option and is priced nicely compared to other competitors with similar features.

So glad I got this controller. It feels very premium and the mouse click buttons feel cool. No issues connecting to my PC to play online with my friends. I can see myself owning this controller for years especially with the anti drift hall effect sticks.

I dont see the problem with software or controller or anything. Works perfect for me. I have used Scuf Competitively for 12 years and this one performs flawless and the ability to adjust anything and everything on pc works perfect.

Honestly best controller I’ve used for PC & feels really comfortable in the hand like the old PS4 controllers or PS3. I never liked the PS5 controllers because they felt bulky this contours to your hand almost. Very customizable mappings and software never had any issue, nice to use when hands get tired of keyboard & mouse. In game movement is smooth, no input lag almost as smooth as mouse.

Comparing to an elite series 2 for PC use, this is a very good controller. I have I-cue for other peripherals on my pc so getting set up was easy as well as mapping buttons. Wireless connection to PC is great, no connection losses.

It's an amazing controller. However the battery life is a lite and you can freely map the buttons to other inputs other than basic controls. Besides all that it's a good controller.

Very happy with this purchase, I’ve been looking for a controller like this after so many years. The way the buttons click feel really nice and the way the joysticks feel are amazing. 10/10 would recommend this product for those looking for “that” controller!
