Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the Instinct Pro Wireless Performance Controller's overall performance, adjustable triggers, textured grip, helpful paddles, comfortable feel, and customization options. However, some customers have reported issues with stick drift and consider the controller to be overpriced. Battery life is also a concern for some users. Despite these drawbacks, many customers appreciate the controller's lightweight design.

    4 stars because it can be improved. Still the best pro xbox controller I've used. The mouse click triggers and 4 paddles are all you could need. the joysticks feel good too. It took some time to get used to the paddles, but every press feels intentional. The only other pro controller with more relevant features are the Razer controllers with the clicky facebuttons and 2 extra buttons on the top. This would be perfect if it had at least 2 extra buttons on the top.

    Honestly this improved 2 things during my game play: my movement in game and my accuracy. Very responsive triggers, very comfortable and light feel in hands, kind of like the girlfriend I wish I had.

    A very good controller only thing is that you are going to have issues after eight months to a year so definitely get the warranty. We’re staying made parts more durable. I’ve never dropped this controller. I took care of it. I guess it’s just electronics in general.

    Scuf Instinct Pro came with stick drift right out of the box. I tried recalibrating it without any luck. Also the faceplate did not sit properly on the frame and moved around while playing. I had to return it for a new one. Crossing my fingers that I dont have the same problems with that one. For the price i was hoping for a better first impression.

    Better than the Xbox controllers

    This controller seems to be a significant improvement over both the standard Xbox controller and the Xbox elite series 2. I owned an elite controller a couple of years ago and returned it within 30 days because it broke. The controls have a nice feel and the unit works well. The added controls on the bottom do make it hard to pick up without hitting a button somewhere.

    Awesome controller, better than the microsoft elite 2. Battery is removable, and can be played wired. Back buttons are simply superior to the xbox one, no question. It just feels really nice in your hands, you dont have to worry about accidently hitting a back button. Ofcourse i cant say much about reliability as its only been a short time, but so far so good.

    Very customizable and I love the hair triggers. The back buttons decrease response time by allowing me to keep my thumbs on the sticks with faster movement. Combine this with the total tech membership and you got a winning combo! It did take me some time to get good with it, but still worth the investment!!

    Great controller, I wonder if scuff will ever make magnetic analog sticks and triggers like the elite controller has because that would make this undisputed in my opinion. Just easier to swap pieces rather than taking the face of the controller off every time. 8.5/10

    Nice controller. Had to get used to it but we’ll made. Paddles are necessary in FPS games, Especially COD Warzone. Easy to map paddles. Overall satisfied.

    So I have a scuff FPS for PS5 and this. I'm using both controllers on PC. The PS5 version has much much lower latency, at least on PC. I wish they would sell that version at BestBuy. As far as quality goes, my R2 button on my PS5 version broke after 8 months of use. I hope the Xbox version lasts longer

    Use this controller for every gaming session. Mappable Paddles are a game changer. Trigger Locks also change reaction times for FPS and then revert for racing games.

    Scuff has always been a leading brand name in game controller design in my heart. This controller holds up to the SCUFF standard and does what it needs to in comfortable fashion. Recommended for every gamer put there.

    I've only had it for about 3 gaming sessions so far and the front faceplate holes are not quite large enough to account for the removable faceplate (held on by magnets) the B button intermittently gets stuck under this cover should the cover shift at all while holding the controller in your hand. Looks and feels nice, a gen 2 w larger holes around abxy would make it 5*
