Responsiveness seems on par with the Elite 2 but the quality of parts and manufacturing feel like a step above. I'm not sure it is really worth the asking price of over $200 but if it lasts without suffering the problems the Elite 2 has, then I suppose that helps justify the cost to an extent.

I was a longtime Xbox Elite controller enthusiast - the first generation was fantastic. However, I went through TWO newer Elite controllers that both developed terrible stick drift issues, which was incredibly frustrating.
After switching to this SCUF controller, I'm pleased to report:
✅ Zero stick drift- the main reason I made the switch
✅ Better ergonomics- the rear button placement is much more comfortable for smaller hands like mine
✅Solid build quality- feels durable and well-made
Pros:
- No stick drift problems (unlike my Elite controllers)
- Improved button placement for smaller hands
- Reliable performance
- Great alternative to Xbox Elite series
Cons:
- None identified so far
Bottom Line: If you're experiencing stick drift with Xbox Elite controllers or have smaller hands, this SCUF controller is an excellent upgrade. Highly recommended!
Would I buy this again? Absolutely yes.

Ive now boughten the xbox elite series controller (series 1 and 2), the razer ultimate gaming controller, and now this one and i can honestly say this is the best one you can buy. To switching the triggers for a quicker push feels like a mouse click and the integrated back paddles really increases user interface. The only draw back is it doesnt have an internal battery but the included cord gives you plenty of length.

From the moment you pick up the SCUF Instinct Pro, it feels like a premium piece of hardware. The rubberized grip and solid build quality immediately give a sense of durability and comfort, setting the stage for an enhanced gaming experience. The four paddles on the back are intriguing, offering a promise of improved gameplay with customizable input options. The Instant Trigger functionality, which mimics the sensation of a mouse click, significantly enhances performance in shooting games. The difference is especially noticeable when engaging in rapid fire or burst fire modes

Is a really solid controller. I found it really solid in build quality, but I have a few things to say about it. I’ve owned this controller for about 1.5 months and I can say is a great competitive controller for some games. I play COD as a casual player and found that the back paddles are decent at best, how they are positioned is not of my personal likings but they actuate fast and they’re tactile (which is what I like). Buttons are the traditional Xbox Buttons and they feel great. The triggers I have a mixed feeling, the short distance mode in the triggers feels heavy, you really have to go a little hard when pressing the triggers (personally not what I like compared to other controllers I’ve tried from this brand and other brands as well). I haven’t experienced any stick drift or ghost input which is great because this brand is known for having that issue but so far so good. I do recommend the controller for someone that wants to get into competitive controllers that are starting to play competitively in the e-sports scene, but if you want something better go with another brand.

Excellent controller. Seamlessly integrates with PC. Textured grips became discolored after a 6 months. Stick drift developed after 8 and I had to return after a year due to stick drift being unbearable.
Rear buttons are great, but two of them on the inner handle were hard for me to reliably access without interfering with the analogue sticks.
Overall, was an incredible feeling controller with reliable rear buttons, but stick drift developing after only a year at this price point was not acceptable.

Good build quality. Overall i like it. The thumbsticks are sturdy and not loose like the elite, which is the reason i needed to seek out a different controller. The elite i had to set the deadzone to 12-15(i returned it). These ones i needed to put the deadzone to 5 and 6. Hence the 4 stars. My $30 controller can have the deadzone at 0, but it has no buttons.

I love this thing. I went from using an Elite control for 10 years to using this Scuf controller. It’s love how easy it is to reach the paddles & the customization even though it’s not as customizable as the Elite but still love it nonetheless. Especially the grips & mouse triggers.

This product works well but after 6 months of having it i needed to replace it because it did get stick drift. The only downfall is how long you have to go without a controller 3-4 weeks

First off, it’s great. From the matte finish/grip to the paddles. You can change the face of it too!! Dpad and analogs or swappable. It’s a great controller. Pretty easy using the paddles, mapping them and switching the modes. Great controller!!
