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.

    Great controller. Strong back paddles! First controller to hold up with back paddles. Had some stick drift after 6 months. Other than that it would have had a 5 star!

    I LOVE this controller..it is pricey but it is amazing. I have never had an elite so having the back paddle buttons is really game changing at times. I mainly have been using this controller for COD on my PC and wired but it is ultra responsive and has definitely given my game a big boost being able to stay on sticks at times and use the back buttons for mobility functions! Can not say enough great things about the controller if you have the ability to spend some extra dollars on a Scuff it does not disappoint but not sure how it compares to an elite which is definitely cheaper!

    It's one of the best controllers on the market today when it works, lol. These can be a bit finicky, depending on whether you get one from a good batch or a bad batch. I've experienced this and so have other people online from what I've read. If you get a controller from a good batch, it's REALLY good and works flawlessly. I got one from a bad batch once and the buttons were stuck. If you have one that works, it's amazing. Hands down, it is the best controller I have used and I will continue to get these if they wear out.

    I really like the controller. The buttons on the back take a little getting accustomed to because of where they are positioned but it works great. I wish it had a rechargeable battery but there are a ton of them for sale out there.

    I've been using the Scuff controller for my Xbox Series X, and it's hands down one of the best gaming controllers I've ever owned. The smooth triggers and lightning-fast response times elevate my gaming experience to a whole new level. The lightweight design makes for comfortable, extended gaming sessions without any strain. If you're a serious gamer looking for a controller that can keep up with your skills, the Scuff is a must-have.

    Expensive, major design flaws and poor quality.

    I’ve been a SCUF customer since 2013, when I bought my first 4 paddle SCUF One. I’m a 45 years old father, husband and business owner; spending free time in the cold Minnesota winters gaming with my kids and friends. Through the years; I’ve had good experiences with SCUF, recommending them to almost everyone, but now the brand is tarnished. It’s disappointing to refer someone to your products, hear their issue and then experience them myself after years of loyalty. On December 8th, 2021 I purchased the SCUF Instinct Pro, following my purchase of a high powered gaming PC. I customized this controller to match my PC set up, spending exactly $270.84. My initial experience was positive. The paddles were placed in comfortable locations, the sticks were tight and accurate and the quality “seemed” on-par with my past experiences with SCUF. On April 10th, 2022 my SCUF Instinct “Pro” stopped me mid-match, the P1 paddle wasn’t clicking just 5 months after purchase. Initially I thought the internal button was defective; but upon closer inspection and comparing it to the P4 paddle I noticed the casing was seamlessly incorporated into the paddle. The casing had cracked where any reasonable would expect, at the hinge point. Luckily, I was able to continue playing in the early, cold, wet and thawing spring of 22, because my 12yo son plays most games on keyboard and mouse. When we first bought him a gaming PC we included an Elite Series II controller, as that’s what he wanted , even when I suggested a SCUF. Without this other controller I wouldn’t have been able to keep playing. I’ve spent 10 years playing on SCUF and I cannot even play anymore with forward facing buttons. SCUF honored the warranty, but required a spectrum of procedures to create an RMA. Our correspondence continued for a couple weeks before creating a repair ticket, sending a UPS label and eventually repairing. I got the controller back on 6/7/22. With summer in full swing I do not game. I coach baseball for my 2 sons, competitively fish, prospect for new clients, maintain two cabins up north, maintain hunting land, bird hunt and archery hunt. After the firearm hunting season I start gaming again in early December. When I started gaming in the fall of 2022 I was excited to start using my SCUF, considering it hadn’t been used since its return. To my amazement, the controller was pushing my view in Rocket League vertically high. This happened right after I updated NVIDIA drivers, so I though that did something to the control inputs. Unfortunately; the issue ultimately stemmed from the right analog stick. This baffled me considering the right analog stick is barely ever used in Rocket League and that’s the game I play 90% of the time. When I responded to SCUF updating them on the transgression of the controller I hadn’t used in 5 months they said “Based on the information provided to us, we determined that your SCUF is out of warranty.” Disappointed to say the least!!! The last party to extensively touch my controller was SCUF. At this point; I was looking around to find other options; Hex, Razer, Power A and Evil were all suggested by some of my friends, but the Elite controller seemed to be the best option if I decided to abandon SCUF. Absorbing another $250 expense to make myself whole seemed stubborn. Eventually I decided to roll-the-dice on the repair ticket. This was ridiculous because SCUF wouldn’t quote a repair cost for their defective products outside warranty. This process started with me initiating USPS shipping for $15, waiting weeks (17days) for an update regarding what repairs needed to be made. To this day I do not know what they fixed? A PayPal invoice was emailed to me without an itemized repair schedule (service-repair-tier-3-xbox?) and a cost of $69.99 on January, 28th. With my son nagging me to return his controller for Rocket League I bit the bullet and paid to expedite the process. After payment was made; not a single update to the RMA was available online. After 18 days an email appeared “Thank you for your patience during the repair for your SCUF. We’re happy to share that your SCUF is being shipped back to you.”. The controller finally made it’s way back on February 17th via UPS. On February, 26th (last night) the same P1 button cracked again in the exact same location as it did on April, 10th 2022. This controller is no longer functioning after 10 days, 10 hours of play time, months away from me and without use all last summer. SCUF created a design flaw and has not addressed it to date, mistreated my property during warranty repair causing it to malfunction upon it’s first use back, charged me for it and now it broke again in the same location. SCUF left me sitting with a useless device I spent $355.83 on. I do not recommend.

      Hello Cory,

      Very unfortunate with all the issues you've had, feel free to reach out to our team again to see if there's anything further that can be done but unfortunately a product out of warranty would be hard to help with if the issue is physical.

    Scuf feels like a cheap plastic controller but controls and buttons are buttery smooth. The elite series 2 is great but the bumpers are terrible. One slight drop and thats GG. Highly recommend buying the warranty i learned my lesson after the first Elite 2 controller.I ended up replacing 2 more Elite Controllers over 4 years due to bumpers and stick drift. Best buy does great by honoring the warranty and have replaced with an entirely new controller. Then its like $90 to renew for another 2 years once they give you the replacement . Better than having to pay for an entirely new controller! Overall…I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CONTROLLER.

    So I love the controller don’t get me wrong, but I originally found it hard to assign the paddles to different games. But overall really good and lightweight too.

    Compared to the Elite Series 2 it’s not the best. Unadjustable Stick tension and the placement of the back buttons make the controller ergonomics not as comfortable as its competitors. ALSO IT TAKES BATTERIES!

      Hello,

      Sorry to hear this wasn't what you'd want to use. Please do pay attention at the power requirements in the future, as well as differences from other controllers, to avoid purchasing something you won't be happy with.

    This controller has been a game changer for me. The over all feel is really nice in the hand and it's not overly heavy. I like that I can customize the front plates and with it being wireless there's not worry about wires. I love the feels of all of the trigger options and the thumbsticks are very smooth whyle playing.

    Not worth the price. Buttons are already getting stuck (four right letter keys), and it runs on batteries so that’s a con in its self.
