Customer Ratings & Reviews

This controller has worked perfectly! Great battery life and good feel for grips and sticks!

Great controller. Like the changeable faceplate. Love the back paddles.

I ended up bringing this controller back because I was used to the elite series 2 controller. I wanted less pull on L2/R2 but when I reduced the triggers it changed them to instant click instead of a little pull. I needed more feedback so I took the controller back to get a less expensive Elite Series 2 controller instead.

Best controller I’ve ever owned. I’ve owned it for about 10 months now, still no stick drift and a very comfortable controller

Great controller everything I was looking for and fast response.

I thought for years that I didnt have very good thumb control until I bought this controller. I enjoy most FPS, but have always struggled with PUBG. This controller helped me improve my game from a regular gold player to a platinum player. The interchangeable faceplates are very cool, very wide selection from the mfg site. Some of my favorite faceplates are attached.

Great Controller...highly recommend. If you're looking for a new one, this is it.

Best controller I’ve ever had, hands down. I love it so much

The best controller to use on PC will definitely recommend

Great product love the extra buttons and the grip i have on it

Got stick drift almost immediately. However besides that features are awesome. 3 stars instead of 4 because of scufs customer service/ warranty process

The Best controller for xbox and pc. Bought 2 and cant go back to regular controller

First off, i was using a turtle beach stealth ultra before this and decided to switch because the stealth ultra off two different purches failed to connect to anything randomly. Ive seen scuf for a long time, and decided to try one out. Boy was that a sour mistake. It was good for not quite a month before the embarrassing quality of it shines. Everything else with this controller is fine thats it. Do not buy at all, you shouldn't have to worry about things like immediate drift when you game

I've been using this SCUF Instinct Pro controller over the course of the last week to play first person shooters and third person action/adventure/RPG titles on PC. This has become the new gold standard for me. SCUF has been in the controller game for a long time. Longer than almost any third party controller manufacturer that I can think of and it certainly shows with this new Instinct Pro. So many thoughtful design and feature considerations. Also, because of the native Xbox integrations in Microsoft Windows (like Xbox game bar), this controller pairs perfectly with PC and has run without a hitch throughout my time using it. For starters, the construction and build quality of the controller is extremely high quality. The front faceplate is a very silky and soft matted surface that makes it incredibly comfortable to hold. The rear of the controller handles are covered in a soft rubber texturized finish making it very easy to grip. All of the buttons, triggers, paddles, and thumbticks feel very solid with crisp feedback. I also love the new re-designed paddles on this new instinct pro. They are leagues better than the somewhat obtrusive paddles on the older SCUF controllers. These feel a lot more ergonomic and natural to interact with. There isn't a single component on this controller that feels cheap. I also love the magnetized battery door on the rear of the controller. It's small details like this that make it apparent how much planning and thought went into the design of this product. There's a great deal of customizability with this SCUF instinct pro; not just from a button mapping/profile perspective, but also from a hardware perspective. The front faceplate of the controller is removeable which allows you to swap out the stock faceplate with a plethora of different colored and themed faceplate kits that you can purchase on the SCUF gaming website. You can also swap out the stock thumbsticks with thumbsticks of different shapes and sizes, as well as swap between a hybrid and standard D-pad. Corsair does throw in a pair of extra thumbsticks in the box (one short domed and one long domed) if you're not a fan of the stock concave thumbsticks (which I personally love!). The included 6 ft USB-A to USB type-C feels very high quality with its braided nylon construction and carbon fiber-like tips. If using this wired, 6ft may not be enough but because it's USB type-C (and not some proprietary cable), it's very easy to source a longer a cable. In terms of performance, this controller is flawless. I've always used an Xbox controller for PC gaming as the design and shape has always felt the most comfortable and ergonomic in my hands. In terms of design, the shape and dimensions feel the same as a standard Xbox controller. The sames goes for the weight, the buttons, the d-pad, and the thumbsticks. Connecting this to my PC over bluetooth was incredibly easy. I simply held down the pairing button found right above the Xbox logo and my PC instantly detected the controller. Windows then displayed a prompt asking me if I wanted to connect. I was then launching games and the controller was immediately functional with no hiccups. The controller has three on-board profiles that it allows you to configure. You simply hold down the profile button on the back of the controller until the LED, by the mute mic button, starts blinking. You then simply hold down a paddle and press whatever button you want to map it to. You will see a small white light appear indicating that you've successfully mapped a button. When you're done mapping your paddles, you simply press the profile button again to save your configuration to that profile. I absolutely love how you're able to program buttons on the fly with no software needed. I did this in game multiple times and I can't tell you how great it feels to not have to use an application to do this. The instant trigger feature on this controller is an interesting one but I feel that this play style will come down to preference. You basically toggle little metal levers in the back of the controller (one for each trigger button) and it makes it so that it feels like it "locks" the trigger in place. This makes it so that you can actuate the trigger without having to bottom it out allowing for a faster shot. In real world application, at least for me, I couldn't tell if it actually resulted in quicker shots for me in FPS games. My game performance was the same whether I used the instant trigger feature or not. As mentioned previously, I think this is more of a preference feature. Throughout all the games I played whether it be on steam, battlenet, GOG Galaxy, Origin, etc., the controller was immediately detected. In-game, not once was there ever a disconnection over bluetooth or any type of thumbstick drift. The range was also impressive. I tested playing from 25 feet away from my PC with no connection issues. Overall, Corsair and SCUF has produced the best controller to date in my opinion. For those looking for the most premium build quality and features in an Xbox controller, which also happens to integrate perfectly with Windows, I highly suggest you give this one a try.

Great control no stick drift can do 0 dead zones on the joy stick

I just picked up the new Scuf Instinct Pro Wireless Controller in white, and holy cow is it INCREDIBLE! Not only is it well built and gorgeous to look at, but the performance is also out of this world! Let’s get right into why this controller is the only one I would get from now on. At first glance the look of the controller is familiar to an ordinary Xbox controller, this applies to mostly the white and black versions, I will get into that in a moment. While this may look like an ordinary controller, once you pick it up, right away you feel the difference. The grips on the Instinct Pro are so good! It feels so right, where the grip is a softer rubber feel that actually grips, in comparison to the Elite2 controller the Instinct Pro grip is far superior, and the Elite controllers’ grips feel more along the plasticky smooth, almost slick feeling. Not the Scuf Instinct Pro, this grip is strong and boasts a hexagonal pattern with deeper grooves and channels that lock into your hands. The weight is about the same as the elite 2 controllers, but what you will notice right off the bat is the paddles on the rear of the controller. Unlike the Elite 2, these paddles cannot be removed. I like that better. No accidentally flicking off a paddle mid-game in the dark anymore, they are affixed to the controller. The paddles have a cool hexagonal camo pattern that can also be seen in little touches throughout the controller, the sticks, and even the charging cable. The paddles are mappable, so you can make them any button you would like to help assist in the action when gaming. FANTASTIC for those drop-shots, you know what I’m talking about. The paddles feel great and help a lot when gaming, but what’s new for the PRO model of the Instinct controller is the adjustable triggers. There are 2 adjustments, one being the normal smooth long pull and the second being the magical mechanical mouse-click type action that is so incredible, just like a mechanical keyboard, but on your controller. Talk about instant clicks, this reduces the amount of time of the trigger pull and feels as good as they sound when being pulled. Clickity clack. This controller is customizable. There are so many ways you can make it your own. The D-Pad, the sticks, and the faceplate can all be customized to your liking. Scuf has plenty of different-sized sticks and different shaped D-pads for anyone’s style of gameplay. The faceplates can also be changed out in seconds, so you have the ability to add your own flair to the controller, the faceplates are sold separately, but they have several really cool ones. If you are hardcore set on this controller, you can even get it fully customized from Scuf. The faceplate is magnetic, so it can be easily removed to replace the buttons or swap out the faceplate itself. The button layout is pretty standard to a normal Xbox controller, these ones just feel better. There is still the A, B, Y, X, Start, Select, Share buttons, Bumpers, Triggers, and the added paddles. This Controller has the hookup for a mic, a 3.5mm jack, and a new button for quick mute. I can’t stress the craftsmanship of this controller enough, it is beautiful. What’s in the box? What comes in the box is the controller, a 6.5ft USB-C cable, 2 stick replacements, and paperwork. Don’t worry, the paperwork isn’t homework, it’s the quick start guide and safety and warranty information. Out of all the controllers I have ever had, including the Elite controllers, this one is far superior in build quality, functionality, look and feel, and even customization. I strongly recommend this controller to anyone who loves gaming. Pros: -Adjustable trigger buttons -Mappable rear paddle buttons -Mechanical trigger mouse buttons with the clickity clicks -Rubberized grips -Fully customizable from the sticks, buttons, faceplates, etc. -Easy to customize or replace parts because of the use of magnets on the faceplate and battery tray -Comes with a power cord if you need it -Comes with replacement sticks -Cool hexagonal camo! -The look and feel Cons: -Uses batteries, but I am sure there is a way to upgrade the pack for rechargeable batteries. -Kinda pricey, but worth every penny!

Feels great to use. Wish the sticks felt a little heavier as a personal preference but so far it's been great. Had to modify the adapter to use astro a40 headset

I much prefer this controller over either of the previous elite versions that have been released. Connects to my PC with no issues.

The controller is good because it has mouse click triggers and you could replace the joysticks and adjust the height of it overall it a good controller and I would recommend it to others

The controller has many aesthetic detail problems when bought new, from scratches in the area where the controller is charged to a problem with the rear LT button that gets stuck when put in rapid fire mode. I think this controller does not have good quality control and I think it is necessary to put a warranty on it because I assure you that it will be damaged very quickly. I bought three controllers and returned all three due to problems. Be careful with this controller.
