Customers are saying
Customers have good things to say about the controller's build quality, adjustable triggers, helpful paddles, and comfortable grip. Many appreciate its lightweight design and ease of use, along with the extensive customization options. However, some customers reported issues with stick drift and battery life, while others found the back buttons to be less than ideal and the warranty period too short. The price point was also a factor in some negative feedback.

Stick drift already
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dont waste your money. Im a casual gamer at best. Maybe a few hours here and there and Ive only had the controller for 4 or 5 months now, and have strong right stick drift.

Buy an elite 2
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have tried 2 scuff controllers and both had issues. Out of the box instant triggers were crap. Died more times than when first started gaming. Save yourself time and pick up elite 2. I was really disappointed because I have large hands and instinct is little bigger than elite but I’m back to elite and instinct pro is headed back to best buy

Good Customizable Xbox Controller
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The SCUF Instinct Pro controller by Corsair is a pretty good controller. It has a good weight and feels great in the hands with the non slip grip material. There are a couple of features I liked about this controller. The instant trigger switch is something new for me. This feature when activated reduces the full motion of the trigger buttons to activate. Kind of like a mouse click and its instant. The controller comes with 4 paddle buttons built in on the bottom of it. Of course you don't have to use them they make some of the XYBA button pushing quicker. They are completely programable but the controller has 3 configurations modes built in for quick mode swapping for different types of games. The SCUF controller comes with an extra of pair of thumbs sticks with different lengths. You can swap them out for your preference. The face place is also swappable but you have to purchase a different one separately. It comes with a braided USB-C cord and a pair of AA batteries. After playing with this controller for a week, the only difference can actually tell between the SCUF and regular xbox controllers is hardly noticeable in performance. The quick triggers and paddles are really nice but the price just doesn't justify it for me. This "PRO" controller retails for $230 usd which is more than 3x the price of a normal controller. If you want to experience and different playing style, I would recommend this controller if you don't mind the price.

Not worth the money. Buy elite 2 instead.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not worth the money. I have been looking at scuf for quite some time and never pulled the trigger. I have 2 elite controller which even on the high price is still 40-50$ cheaper than the scuf and feels way more solid than the scuf. The mappable buttons are not setup functionally for me and felt hard to use. Needless to say I’m just going to return and get another elite 2. Truly disappointed.

Wanted to like this….
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted to like this but the controller stopped responding on the third day of using it. It could be the one I received was defective. But it worked well before it died on me. The paddles were very easy to use

Don't buy.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Save your money and go with Microsoft elite controller. The underside buttons are terrible and often don't work or respond. I've only had the controller 3 days. Super disappointed for what it cost to underperform.

Xbox controller
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very comfortable and hand easy to use beautiful graphics I must have I would highly recommend this to anyone
I would recommend this to a friendScuffff
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Over all good controller I do like the the buttons on the back instead of the paddles like the series 2 elite controller. $230 is a hefty price for a controller but the response time and trigger action are far superior to just a basic controller
