Customer Ratings & Reviews

📦 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.

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.

Best PC controller out there. Best feature is the ability to change how the trigger buttons work. Smooth sticks and buttons. I play a lot and the battery holds for a long time. but you can also play while charging. Software was easy to use and modify the quick action buttons.

Excellent controller with great ergonomics and fast response. The buttons are comfortable, the analog sticks are precise, and the connection is stable, providing a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience even during long play sessions.

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.

I got this controller almost spur of the moment. I had been looking into this controller for a few months. My focus was that this was the only controller that has so many fully mappable buttons, and is known and is very popular. I LOVE this controller!!!!! I waited so long because I’ve seen so many bad things and reviews on it. It all turns out that people just apparently love to complain or just made negative reviews out of boredom. My only complaint is that the should buttons are a little to narrow. In intense sessions, I’ve accidentally pressed the left one while holding the trigger. Can be annoying but, the controller overall is practically perfect for me.

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.

This is my favorite controller I've ever owned. I love how the buttons feel like a mouse click. It's very responsive, comfortable to hold, and a lot of customization options. I really like being able to use the bottom row of buttons for music, volume and push to talk. I like the RGB capabilities and haven't had any issues with the ICue software. Highly recommend!

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.

Very high quality. No stick drift! Feels great in the hand. Very customizable!

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.

First Scuf I’ve ever owned, purchased for my son’s bday. Works well, feels great, very customizable. Would recommend.

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.

Amazing controller! I thought I would hate coming from Xbox controller but it fits perfectly in my hands and all of the extra buttons are excellent.

Amazing product. It works just as well as an xbox control but better. It has better grip on the handles and the buttons do not stick over time
