Great controller, but doesn’t come with a battery.

It was good while it lasted. I just checked when I purchased it to see if it lasted longer than my Xbox elite series 2 and it did but at the end of the day the stick drift just got out of control. The elite series had way more problems in regards to buttons registering but I’m rating this 2 stars because after 2 years I would hope for some kind of update or enhancement but it’s the same controller selling for the same price.

So far it’s held up better than the elite 2 controller. The x butting and left bumper just stopped working on that. Love the rubber grips and thumb stick feel

Best controller with paddles on the market. Expect drift.

Only control with mouseclick trigger stops just buy it

Built for the true gamer. I would certainly recommend this controller to my friends.

Scuf makes an awesome controller, but this started to get stick drift after 3 months. They want $90 to repair something that should be under warranty. I'll be trying out their competitors going forward.

Between the Xbox elite controller , battle beaver , scuff I would say is great . The new digital triggers the new paddles system is really well put together for the most part . A few stick drift issues but being a total tech member it’s been taken care of without a hassle . Great controller after all is said and done

Easy on the fly button mapping and paddles are perfectly positioned. Fingers never leave the trigger. All you need to get the W

Literally the best controller purchased thus far! Excellent for FPS fanatics, it was a major game changer! The color i purchased reminded me of Spider-Man which was the best thing ever. Love my purchase!

Very awesome controller. Makes normal controllers feel obsolete

After owning this controller for a few years, I compared it to my Microsoft Elite Series 2 controller. I would much rather spend the money on the Microsoft Elite Series 2 controller. The button layout on the back is not beneficial for those with small or medium-sized hands. Additionally, the controller joysticks develop stick drift very quickly. I had to send this controller back within the first 6 months to have it repaired. Mind you, I said 'repaired,' but I had to pay for the controller to be fixed within less than a year. My Elite Series 2 controller was older and developed stick drift more slowly.

First off...hit your shots!! Second..Best Xbox controller I've ever had. The button remapping is fast and easy. No setting menu, you can literally do it mid fight.

SCUF Instinct Pro - $230 Nightmare Experience Ordered an Instinct Pro for my Xbox as a Happy Birthday to me present in September. Mid October, the right bumper could no longer be pressed down. I submitted a ticket, but ended up being able to resolve the problem on my own. I noticed a small magnet located under the bumper has worked its way out of its housing and was blocking the bumper. Pushed it back into place with tweezers and was good to go. Disappointing for such an expensive controller, but whatever. I replied to support and told them they can cancel the ticket. The very next day, the left stick started to drift severely. 40%+ up and down. I replied again and reopened the ticket. In that email, I explained to Sharon that I had a TERRIBLE experience with Microsoft where I had similar issues with an Elite Series 2 and ended up having to send it in 3 times for repair. The first time due to drift, the second time because the repair technician made an error and the controller would randomly power off, the third time because the drift returned. All within a month. I basically begged her to help me not go through the same mess again. She was professional and ASSURED me I would be well taken care of. Confident, I mailed the controller to them. Two weeks later I received the controller back. Excited, I unpack it, plug it in and….what the heck….the same exact problem….I don’t even have to leave the main menu to notice it. Controller scrolls up or down on its own. Open the controller tester app and sure enough, drifting up and down 40%+. here we go again… I email back and one of the things I pointed out and asked was “Your email stated "We've diagnosed, repaired, and thoroughly tested your SCUF". I want to know what the diagnosis was, what the repair was, and how exactly the controller was tested. As you can see in the video I have attached, the problem still exists, is blatant, and very easy to replicate.” I received no answer to either of those questions and was given the generic, send it back and will fix it again spiel. I was told to write ATTN: GABY on the label and box so an RMA Lead could handle the repair. I do so and ship the controller back. I waited another 10 days and received the controller back. Again excited, opened the box and immediately noticed something weird. Something golden was peaking out of the controller housing at the bottom of the controller. I then realized it was a ribbon cable. They had pinched the ribbon cable in the housing while putting it back together…..this caused light from the led to leak out the bottom of the controller, prevented the controller housing from closing all the way making it feel weird in the hand, and caused the faceplate to flop around. And this was supposedly a product of the RMA Lead… I email Sharon again and am told the same thing as before. Send it back in for repair and she’ll ask that I get a new controller instead of a repair but can’t guarantee it and to again write ATTN: GABY. Frustrated, I told her that I would not go without the controller any longer and will not be sending it back. The controller is usable, even if the experience is extremely sub par, especially for the price paid. THE VERY NEXT DAY, the right rear bumper button breaks and falls off during a Rocket League tournament……the controller is less than 3 months old and I baby it. No beating or banging, goes into a controller base after each use, etc. I have since emailed Sharon back and now have no choice but to send the controller back and go without, a third time. I’m extremely disappointed because after researching and dealing with other crappy controllers thought I had found a company that is geared towards gamers, is top of the line, and has great customer service. I was wrong.

Awesome Product. Just now buying a new one. My last one lasted 3+ years which is the longest I've had a controller for.

to start with this controller is very comfortable in the hands and the grip is great. but that's about it. i have bought three instinct pro's in the past two weeks and i kept trying because the reviews were about a 70/30 mix from good to bad so i figured eventually i would get one with no issues and ohh was i ever wrong. the instant triggers are horrible. It really disapoints me because i have large hands and this controller is bigger than xbox elite. All i can say is dont waste your money an a 250$$ controller thats going to dissapoint you especially if you play a lot of COD.. Save the 75 dollars and pick up xbox elite 2.. so much better and faster..

This controller has been a game changer, literally!!!

Way better feel than a PS5 controller for me. I am using on the rog ally.

Smooth controller with great movement and great feel for control in games that require aiming and transferring with jumping and sliding past objects. The extra buttons are easy to set to your own comfort level.

Really great controller for xbox i recommend this control for xbox gamers
