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.

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.

A great controller with a pro feel
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Corsair Instict Pro wireless xbox controller is a great competitor and substitute to the Xbox Elite2 controller! It has a sleek design, with paddles built into the backside of the controler along with sensitivity switches for them. They are not removable on this controller. It does come with 2 extra thumbsticks that you can swap out by popping up the thumbsticks on the controller and pressing the new ones back in place. It seems to be a smooth process but does not feel the most comfortable when doing so, like it kind of feels like its going to break. The contoller comes with non rechargable batteries, but also comes with a 6 ft usb cable for connecting. Everthing on the contoller feels very similar to a standard xbox controller. One thing they have also added is a mic mute button right on the front of the controller by the headset port, so if you are running a headset that does not have a mic mute right at the controller, this makes it extremely easy to mute. The overall feel of the controller is solid and well built. The way the joysticks swap out is the only thing that really concerns me but I have not had any problems yet. This controller is also able to connect to the Xbox AND a Windows PC like the Elite2 does, which greatly opens up the gaming experience. I love using an xbox controller on both platforms. Overall, the rear paddles take a little getting used to and can be accidentally pushed when you don't want them to. The feel and grip of the controller is very close to an Elite2 controller, the button presses are solid and fast responsive, and has easy connectivity across platforms. Would have loved to see it come with a rechargable battery pack, and love the addition of the mute button on the front. Overall I would recommend

Scuffff
||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

Low Quality Thumbsticks, Not worth the price tag.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased in september for the upcoming release of Modern Warfare III. Probably used the controller for about 3 weeks to a month before the right thumbstick started having issues. Tried all the troubleshooting I could find online. Not the quality that should come with a $200 controller. Extremely frustraited with this purchase. Controller was nice when working but is now unusable.

Bad Quality control and Customer Service. BEWARE
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.DO NOT BUY. They have horrible quality control and customer service. When I first purchased this controller it had a rough and noisy vibration, but I figured it just needed a break in period. 3 months later the vibration rotor started to go out. I requested a warranty repair/exchange @ 845 PM PST on a Sunday and I instantly got a reply back saying the product isn't under warranty.
