This SCUF Envision Pro controller might set a new high bar for adding pro-level controller features that are actually USEFUL without making them inaccessible and ruining the experience. From the get go, everything just feels and acts the way you'd want it - while not plug and play, it's very easy to get up and going, which I can't say for other high end controllers I've tried.
But, let's start at the beginning. Before you plug in the controller (or the dongle), the materials in the box prompt you to download and install the Corsair iCue software (if you don't already have it installed). That install is quick and easy - then you can plug in the controller (you can charge it separately if you want) or dongle and get started. The controller is pre-configured in a useful setup where the face buttons are mirrored to the back paddles, but you can change that setup if you want (why don't ALL pro controllers pre-configure the paddles, I don't know...but I love that Corsair did) along with the 5 macro buttons on the bottom (again, I love that they're preset, including the volume / mute buttons) and the 2 side buttons that mirror the L1/R1 buttons. You can also change the lighting effects in the software and a few other things (including calibrating the sticks) and update the firmware (you'll want to plug the controller directly in for that).
After you're finished configuring, you're ready to play - and the controller SHINES in gaming. I love the smoothness and accuracy of the sticks and triggers - I'm mostly a racing game player and they work really well for both driving and flying games. The buttons feel like they're microswitches and have a nice clickiness to them, similarly with the D-Pad. This really is a modern controller - the ciruclar D-Pad is great for modern games, but may not be your favorite for older / retro games and platformers. You can switch between 2.4Ghz (using the included dongle) and wired USB - I didn't notice any latency issues on wireless but playing wired means you can charge and play at the same time. The controller feels REALLY good in the hand with texture grips providing a solid hold on the controller even in intense gaming sessions and the size and weight are just right for comfort during those longer runs.
I guess the only word of caution might be that this is, of course, the Playstation-type layout with the d-pad above the stick on the left side (vs the Xbox type layout that reverses this). I've found it's a very personal choice as to what layout you prefer - so if you're good with the Playstation layout, then you're good to go here!
So if you're in the market for a high-end controller that actually makes all the features accessible, this is a great option to check out. Give it a try today!

Initially I thought the feel of the controls may have been a little too lose, until I started playing. The controller is so smooth. Thumb sticks glide like they are greased. The buttons are very responsive to the touch. The "other" buttons took some getting use to in strenuous moments. When I say "other" I refer to buttons on the sides, inside and outside, of the grips. If you are like me and squeeze the controller as the action picks up, you will be hitting the other buttons with a great frequency. But that is what profiles are great for.
Now I do love the other buttons, especially for games like pinball. I know, it feel like a waste using a controller for pinball, until you try it. There is something gratifying about hitting a button on the side of a controller that makes it feel like you are actually playing pinball.
Racing games, using the trigger buttons are absolutely wonderful. You can feather the gas to control your car in a turn. Something using just an A button can't simulate. My first few runs of Track Mania I bested my best runs easily. The controller just felt perfect, until I would inevitably hit an "other" button. Profile created.
Creating profiles are simple with the iCue software. You can call them from the controller storage with ease.
The controller comes with alternate thumb sticks, USB cable with adapter for USB C. A tool to remove or replace(?) something and other button cover/replacements. Also there is a USB dongle that you need to pair with. Everything feels and looks premium.
There is a basic lighting bar on the bottom of the controller. I would have like to see the buttons lit as well, but sadly they were not. To replace the thumb sticks, covers, etc and modify anything, the cover simply lifts off from the top with no tool required. It is attached with a series of magnets and makes mods very easy.
Overall, this is an excellent controller and by far my favorite I have used. My son has already "borrowed" it and I have not seen it in two days. :( Ahh, the games outside the games.

The SCUF Envision Pro is probably one of my favorite controllers ever. It has more buttons that I’ve figured out needing yet, although I expect to soon. It has 5 programmable buttons on the bottom that by default are for volume control and microphone control which is actually pretty ideal. The switches in this controller are solid and in the hours I’ve used it for first person shooters, adventure, simulation, and rpg, the buttons give such a great feedback that I’m in awe. The Pro version has a grip surface that feels really good, but I wonder if it will get sticky or wear off as time goes on. I have mainly used it wired so far, but it has a wireless dongle that provides a super fast connection for simply no perceptible lag. For racing games this has been clutch. There is no drift so far, and the site does tout that as being fixed here. I’m going to keep a close eye on it. There are back buttons and side buttons that I feel are going to be really convenient when I configure for specific games, and you can do that in the downloadable application that allows you to configure everything from lightings, to buttons to button combinations. This thing is a true utility controller. I love it! Highly recommended.

I’ve been using the SCUF Envision Pro Wireless Gaming Controller for PC and it has quickly become my go-to controller. The build quality is excellent and the steel gray design looks sharp and premium. The anti-drift thumbsticks are a huge plus, giving me peace of mind knowing I won’t run into issues after heavy use. The controller feels sturdy but still very comfortable, and the grips make long sessions easy without slipping. The wireless connection is smooth with no lag, and I like that it also has the option to plug in if I need to. The extra paddles and buttons are well placed and responsive, making gameplay more customizable and giving me an edge in competitive matches. I also appreciate the software support that lets you remap buttons and fine-tune settings to fit your playstyle. Everything about this controller feels designed for serious gaming, and it’s clear SCUF put a lot of thought into it. Overall, it’s one of the best controllers I’ve used for PC and I’d highly recommend it to anyone wanting performance, durability, and style in one package.

My review is going to be mostly based off use with a PC. Packaging was frustration free and everything was packed neatly and organized making it easy to tear open and get started with.
Inside you'll get a charging cable, wireless dongle, controller, replacement thumb grips and some button swaps/covers.
I had a previous generation of this controller and did not enjoy it because I'm not a FPS gamer more of a chill RPG guy. I found the buttons on the side to be rather annoying and I was always hitting them by mistake. Corsair solved this problem and included an option to actually remove the buttons and instead place modular covers over the button holes. I did this fairly easy and it was a game changer.
I like how clicky all the buttons feel think mechanical keyboard type of feedback. The software was pretty frustration free got it installed in no time, controller updated. You can use the software to customize the controller with any range of RGB, make controller or keyboard and mouse macros and map them to any button. Super customizable and it all felt pretty simple not like I need a programming degree to get started.
Battery life seems solid and not like I need to charge it everyday of course this will vary on use.
Overall I'm very happy with the new design choices by Corsair and would recommend this controller.

Overall... great wireless gaming controller.
Super simple to connect, and Windows 11 immediately recognizes it for usage in my games.
First started of with just a basic shooter style game (COD), it was nice... familiar usage to other common controllers, didn't have to do any crazy setups. Quick response, and allowed for an easy game play.
Did notice after the first few rounds, the control may be a little small in my larger hands, but that is going to be a lot of player preference.
Next tried in Forza. While it isn't a steering wheel, it does allow for some good driving to happen.
The lighter weight was nice, so I was able to leave my wrists in my lap, and just drive.
Charging the controller was simple, was able to use the built in USB ports on the computer.
Never ran out of power, after several hours of use. Simply let it charge over night.
The texture of the controller was nice as well, allowed for it to be held on to.
It looks a LOT like a popular controller, so you can mistake it for one.
Overall a good controller to have to dedicate to your PC

The controller wasn't the most straightforward to setup - iCue, the software that you must setup before you try to initially connect the controller wasn't the easiest to work with, but I was able to get the controller working relatively quickly even if the UX wasn't obvious and the overall experience wasn't pleasing. The controller itself is great - you really get the xbox/playstation experience of a high quality controller with satisfying mechnical switches on most of the buttons. I didn't particularly care for the feeling of the Left and Right joysticks, they were less smooth and didn't give me the satisfying L3/R3 button pressing that I prefer from tier 1 console experiences. The number and placement of mappable buttons is where I found that this controller really shined. If you have key combos or additional controls useful for your game, its easy to map it to additional buttons here, much like high quality gaming keyboards - so you get both the feed of a tier 1 controller with smooth movement and the mappable customization of high performing keyboards. I played 5 or 6 different games and didn't find the controls lacking on anything I worked with: the controller was super responsive even when using the usb dongle to run wireless. If the joysticks and software were a little more satisfying this would be a 5 star experience, but still highly recommend this controller.

I have been using this SCUF Envision Pro wireless gaming controller for about 5 days now and have pretty pleased with it so far.
The setup/connection was easy, after I realized I had to use the wireless dongle to connect to my laptop instead of Bluetooth. Also, before connecting the wireless controller, download the software and update the firmware using a USB connection.
This controller has so many programable and many completely removable buttons, it can be customized to fit just about any gaming need. The most awesome feature is the locking trigger mechanisms, which can be activated to change a throttle trigger to a simple click style. I did notice the trigger had to travel more than my other controllers before registering (while using the throttle lock feature), but it didn’t seem to affect my gaming after I got used to it. I can see how this can be an issue in a shooting style game where a quick response is necessary. I was very pleased with the responsiveness of throttle trigger when used for racing games.
Overall, I would recommend this controller. I believe this controller would suit the needs of most gamers, but would not be best suited for a gun battle during a professional match. If it wasn’t for this, I would have given it a 5-star review.
