Customer Ratings & Reviews

While I can see the appeal, the controller has massive stick sensitivity baked into the firmware that cannot be adjusted. This makes certain games feel super floaty and you have to massively tweak in game settings.

Best feeling controller I've ever used! Scuf ingenuity with Corsair quality!

Awesome controller can’t complain at all. The new joystick are smooth

I've Loved scuf controllers for a long time, but this one. I don't know if I got a lemon but it's trash. Let's start by saying that there's an electrical problem in one of the TMR sticks and it has terrible stick. Drift which was not supposed to happen with this controller. I have contacted scuff and they tell me please bear with us in these holiday times. Your continued business is appreciated. Other than that it would be a fine controller

Scuf is king! I started gaming again because of them.

There are better controllers like the Gamesir G7 Prothat out performs and cost less. Still a great quality controller if you are willing to spend the money.

The controller constanly disconnects from the console and is extremly tedious to reconnect. This is really frustrating when playing online.

This is a high priced low quality controller. I always wanted a scuf because of their reputation for top tier custom gaming controllers but the only thing about this controller that i like is that it started to get sticky triggers and i can no longer play using it. I’ll be going with the razer wolverine again,its a superior piece of hardware in every way. Cost, quality, value for your $$$

The scuf valor pro I wasn’t a big fan of because it feels like it has a built in deadzone which is not ideal for fps gaming

The Scuf Valor Pro Wireless Controller is a must have for your pc/xbox/mobile setup. It is very well built and has a very solid feeling. It is an officially licensed product by Microsoft, and they certainly picked a great controller to be part of their fleet. This controller is very closely related to another high end xbox controller. To me though, the Scuf Valor Pro has a much better feel overall to the grip and playability aspect. It does feel a bit less fatiguing in the hands and is very good overall design. While the controller does feel very solid and well built, it also uses many components to make it much lighter. One of the main aspects of the controller I love is the rear paddle setup. It has a much more streamlined design and the paddles sit much closer to the body of the controller. This keeps down the random accidental paddle presses during a game because they feel more natural in the controller. The other controller I just decided to remove the rear paddles because they stuck out so far and would accidentally hit them all the time. The paddles on the Scuf Valor Pro controller are also much firmer to push to help avoid that. Much of the controller plays just like other xbox controllers. A big part of this controller is the anti-drift technology built into the thumbsticks. All the time on other controllers if you bump the thumbstick wrong or it drops on the floor accidentally, it would cause the thumbstick to have a permanent "Drift". With this controller, I have not had fear of that, but only time will tell if that lack of fear holds up or not. On the Xbox and PC, You can go download the Scuf App and go into the controller settings and customize the paddles, and make other adjustments. It allows for quite the customization to give you the competitive edge. There are scroll wheels at the bottom of the controller on both sides of the headset jack. They control overall volume and game chat mix. The scroll wheels feel very solid and have a nice turn click. It does have a nice controller tray that comes out of the box easily and I use it to set the controller in when it is not in use. They do make different colored trim pieces and thumbsticks that can be changed out to suit your customization preference, including different shaped thumbsticks. It does have a dongle and a 6ft usb-c cable for a wired connection if you want faster response, and also to recharge the battery. I have gamed a whole week with the controller before it was needed to be plugged back in to charge. Overall, I highly recommend this controller. It definitely feels lighter and more enjoyable to game with. I look forward to continue using it for my gaming. Overall this controller is well worth the investment and

Paddles on the back of the controller are useless compared to elite controller

It’s alright , but u can’t access the app and makes it so complicated

The SCUF VALOR PRO controller from Corsair is surprisingly good. I'd say that it is "just right". I got it to play on the Xbox Series X. I didn't have very high expectations of it because I have some higher end controller and considered this mid grade. This turned out to be exactly what I wanted. There's a little bit of customization with the thumb sticks and the button mapping but nothing too crazy. I liked the feel in my hands, very ergonomic. The top satin finish is slightly rubbery which I liked to maintain grip. It shows oily finger prints really easy though. And the back is a more textured rubber that I really liked for grip. I don't often use paddle buttons but I like the feel of these on the back. They are different than most other paddle buttons. The best way to characterize it and why I like it is to compare it to my other more expensive controllers. The rumble is strong but quiet, my other controllers are really noisy when they rumble. All the buttons work great. There are only two trigger settings, full distance and rapid fire. My other controllers allow you to customize that distance to really tune it in but it just seemed like too much work and unnecessary so I liked how it is on VALOR PRO. Also the triggers are just the right sensitivity. My other controllers are so sensitive that they are constantly erroneously getting activated so I really like this about the VALOR PRO. And the resistance was perfect, my other controllers pull back too easily and make it hard to add finesse. I used this controller to play shooter games and racing games. As I said above the rapid fire distance and sensitivity on the triggers were perfect for me. The thumb sticks were also good navigating my character and going for the kill. I thought the triggers also had good resistance and distance when I was racing to give me better control of my acceleration. There wasn't any latency using them with wireless and the dongle. I didn't have any issues or concerns with game play and they worked exactly how I wanted them to. There are different profiles and settings you can load with the app to get that custom pro feel but I was happy with out of the box functions. The battery life is really good, I haven't even needed to charge it yet. I would recommend this for most everyday gamers. Just note that you'll have to wipe off the controller so it doesn't look overly dingy even when it's not. I do wish that for the price point it came with some lighting accents to give it some extra pop and individuality but other than that I liked it.

terribe controller, within the first month the triggers stiffined up and so did the bumper.

Gaming controller is perfect for controlling Xbox games Love having a rechargeable controller versus changing batteries every other day. Super customizable for games and remapping buttons as well as changing the underside buttons and the joysticks for different feels. Battery life is great usually can get a salad two to three days gaming before needing a recharge. My only complaints are I wish it didn't need the USB dongle to connect to the Xbox and if it had some RGB built in that would be a really cool added feature. I found it very easy to set up and pair with my Xbox no issues whatsoever getting it to work fresh out of the box. Not too big or bulky when compared to the original controllers if it's nicely in the hand and comfortable. For the price of the controller I'm surprised it doesn't include a carrying or protective case. Hopefully this lasts the life of the console for the price of the controller as it seems well made. I would definitely recommend this to anybody looking to upgrade their current Xbox controllers that come with the gaming console.

Scuf pioneered back paddle controllers by modding OEM controllers many years ago. Now part of Corsair, they have moved beyond modding controllers produced by others to making their own original designs. The Valor Pro is the latest iteration of their controllers, and is packed with features high end gamers demand. Designed for Xbox and compatible with PC and Bluetooth, this wireless controller looks promising, but does it deliver? Lets run it through its paces and find out. Popping open the box we’ll find the controller, the wireless adapter dongle, a high quality USB-A to C cable, two back paddle blanks, and two extra thumbsticks (one longer dome one and one standard dome). For shipping two thick foam rings secure the sticks in place – I kept these for when traveling with the controller in a case later – although no case is included here. To customize the controller, just pop off the magnetically attached face plate to replace thumbsticks, or change out the (additional purchase) friction rings, d-pad, or even swap out the faceplate entirely. Picking up the controller, I was immediately impressed by both the feel and how light the controller is. The faceplate has a nice soft touch texture, and the grips have a thick texture that really sits well in your hands. The controller is also very light, at just 260 grams, it’s lighter than an OEM Xbox or Elite controllers. The face buttons have a nice press feel. A real highlight are the triggers and shoulder buttons. A weak point on MS’s OEM controllers, the shoulder buttons here click like mouse buttons with a short clean snap. The triggers have an analog full travel mode, but also have two levers on the bottom that will switch them to an instant button mode. The instant button mode surprised me – instead of just acting like a back stop that registers a short travel as a button press, the trigger actually clicks like the shoulder buttons. This is an incredible feel for the triggers and is really a standout feature. Another innovation is the back paddle layout. Instead of paddles you have to align your fingers on to press, this new layout allows you to just rock your ring fingers to press either button on each side – it’s incredibly intuitive and comfortable, allowing you naturally hold the controller. Between the excellent ergonomics, plush grips, and light weight, this is the most comfortable controller I have used. High end controllers (other than, notably, the Elite controller) have largely moved to Hall effect sticks. Hall effect sticks use magnets and relatively strong electromagnetic fields to detect where the stick is positioned. Since there are no moving parts in the sensors, Hall effect sticks resist drift. They do have two drawbacks though – the sensors take more power and some sensitivity and accuracy can be lost. The next iteration are TMR thumbsticks, which the Valor Pro is using. These use weak electromagnetic fields so they both take less power AND increase accuracy. In gaming, I found the sticks to be incredibly responsive and accurate. Many of the buttons can be remapped on the controller itself without the need for an app, but Scuf has released an app that works on Xbox or PC to allow for button remapping, setting deadzones, etc. One quirk is that the controller needs to be in Xbox mode on PC for the app to work – and interestingly, in Xbox mode, the controller worked fine outside of the app for games and controlling the Xbox app etc. The three onboard profiles can be quickly switched by pressing a back button. The controller also supports Bluetooth and connected easily to a Firestick for Xbox cloud gaming, and can connect to mobile devices such as phones and tablets. Another interesting feature are two audio control dials – these allow for adjusting the game and chat volume in games and can be clicked to mute either the audio or the mic on a headset plugged into the audio jack. This level of audio control on the device is nice to have – although I wish the dials controlled audio natively in Windows so you could use them with a wireless headset. Maybe a future firmware or software update will allow that. Overall, this is probably the best Xbox and PC controller on the market today. It’s light, feature packed, customizable, and features the latest in thumbstick technology. For Xbox, PC, and Bluetooth gaming, it’s hard to beat.

FEATURE PACKED CONTROLLER- NEEDS BETTER INSTRUCTIONS/MANUAL. The controller itself is amazing but it is not setup friendly in my opinion but I will touch on that a little later in the review. BUILD The controller has an amazing premium feel to it, satin smooth on the face, textured rubber on the back which give you a secure comfortable grip. It has a nice weight to it, it doesn't flex, the buttons/triggers/sticks have a nice spring-back action after being pressed. The extra 4 paddle buttons seemed like overkill until I got used to using the buttons right behind the grips and those are intuitive placed. The center 2 buttons on the back weren't used too much by me, their placement is odd and uncomfortable for me. The wired response is by far the best, the low latency connection with the dongle is pretty good too. I definitely noticed a lag with the bluetooth connection and therefore I don't use that method. SETUP The setup was not simple, connecting via the dongle took a bit for my controller to be found and once it was found updating the dongle took a bit selecting and un-selecting because the controls were glitchy for some reason. Once that was done the calibrating wasn't working and it said I had to update the controller, you won't know it has to be connected via a cable unless you search it on their website which doesn't provide any of the steps in order...it's kind of all over the place. Re-mapping the buttons is also not very direct, mind you it might be a different experience on the Xbox, I got them specifically to use for my PC gaming and on a PC it was not as smooth as I would have expected hence the subtraction of a star. OVERALL Once i got it going, the responsiveness was great, the gameplay did go smoothly. The halfthrow trigger settings are a game changer, the rear paddle buttons are intuitive and easy to get used to...the software to make changes and initial setup are a pain.

This controller is amazing. I’ve mostly used standard Xbox controllers over the years and have never really gotten into the “pro wireless” market before. One of the biggest issues I’ve constantly struggled with on Microsoft’s standard controllers is stick drift — I have three official Xbox controllers now, and every one of them has some level of drift. That’s why I was so excited to try the Valor Pro Wireless Controller from Scuf. Build Quality and Comfort The first thing you notice is the build quality — it feels incredible in your hands. It’s slightly heavier than a standard Xbox controller, but that extra weight doesn’t translate into any kind of hand fatigue during long gaming sessions. The hand grips feature a soft, grippy rubber coating on the back, while the front sports a smooth matte black finish that looks and feels premium. Size-wise, it’s about the same as a standard Xbox controller, maybe just a touch taller around the bumpers. The buttons feel fantastic right out of the box with instant, tactile feedback. There’s no noticeable latency at all when playing wirelessly, and the thumbsticks are smooth with just the right amount of resistance. If I had one small wish, it would be for slightly larger or more concave thumbstick pads for better thumb grip — but that’s a minor preference and something easy to get used to. Features and Customization The Valor Pro maintains the standard Xbox button layout, but adds several pro-level features. There are front-side audio controls if you want to plug your headset directly into the controller, four rear paddle buttons, and locking triggers. Where this controller really shines is with the Scuf Companion App on PC. Using the app, you can remap every single button and paddle, fine-tune trigger sensitivity, and create multiple controller profiles. Switching between games is effortless — just load your preferred setup, and the controller instantly adapts. I especially like configuring an open trigger on the left for aiming and an instant trigger on the right for firing — the feedback is absolutely instantaneous. You can even customize vibration strength and haptic feedback zones, deciding where and how much vibration you want to feel. The app itself is user-friendly, intuitive, and lets you save your profiles directly to the controller, so when you reconnect to your Xbox, you’re ready to play immediately. Pairing to the console is almost instant, and I haven’t experienced any connection drops or latency issues so far. Battery Life and Performance Scuf advertises around 17 hours of battery life on a full charge, and so far, that’s proving to be accurate. It’s too early to say for sure whether this controller will truly resist stick drift long-term, but I’m hopeful based on its design and performance so far. Final Thoughts All in all, the Valor Pro Wireless Controller is hands down the best Xbox controller I’ve ever used — even better than Microsoft’s own Xbox Elite controller. Between its excellent build quality, endless customization options, and flawless performance, I’d highly recommend it to any Xbox or PC gamer looking to take their gameplay to the next level.

I got this Scuf Valor Pro wireless controller for my Xbox a few days ago, and I have to say, I'm really happy with it so far. I'm not really a full on hardcore gamer who plays all day every day, but I do enjoy jumping into different games when I have time. Stuff like FPS games where you need quick reactions, sports titles for some fun competition, sniper missions that require precision, puzzle games to relax, and fighting games for that intense back and forth. I figured it was time to upgrade from my old standard controller, which was starting to feel worn out after a couple years. The build quality feels solid and really nice. It's comfortable to hold, with a nice grip that doesn't slip even during longer sessions. I like how it connects wirelessly without any hassle too. It just pairs up with my Xbox Series X in seconds. The battery life has been good too. I have played for hours each day and only charged it once. No issues with lag or disconnection. What I really like is the feel of the buttons and sticks. They are responsive, like when I'm in a FPS game dodging bullets or aiming at enemies, everything reaponds right away. No delay that throws me off. The triggers are adjustable, which is great for sniper games where I want that hair trigger pull for quick shots. I have not messed with all the customization options yet, but there are several. In sports games, like basketball or soccer, the paddles on the back let me remap buttons so I can jump or sprint without taking my thumbs off the sticks. That has made things smoother, especially since I'm getting a little older and I'm not as quick as I once was. For fighting games, the d pad feels accurate and isn't mushy like some controllers. I can pull off combos pretty easily. Overall, it just feels premium in my hands, the weight is balanced, and it does not tire me out after playing for a bit. I have used it for about three or four days now, maybe 10 to 15 hours total, and everything is holding up well. The design looks clean too. I went with the black one, but there are other colors if you want something flashier. I don't have any real complaints. Maybe the price is a bit high compared to a basic controller, but for what you get, I think it's worth it. Especially compared to the basic Xbox controllers. If you are like me and play a mix of games, whether hardcore or casually, I think this controller makes the experience better without overcomplicating things. I would definitely recommend it. If you are thinking about getting one, go for it. You will notice the difference right away.

SCUF controllers are one of the biggest names in aftermarket pro controllers. As far as I am aware SCUF was one of the first companies to make fully customizable controllers with extra buttons to help when gaming. The SCUF Valor Pro is the latest and greatest from SCUF and it is no exception to the greatness. First, I would like to discuss its design. As a gamer one thing that we like to do is customize our gear. SCUF makes this extremely easy by using magnets to hold on the front cover. It can easily be pulled off and changed out with a different color/custom face plate. Included in the box are longer joy sticks to help you customize and fine tune the controller to your liking. The back of the controller has rubberized grip surface that feels extremely nice and allows you to keep a firm grip on the controller when playing for long periods of time. Next, I would like to talk about the extra buttons you get over a standard controller. The first are two additional paddles on both sides (four total) that can be customized and mapped to your liking. On the bottom of the controller there are two scroll wheels that can control game volume and chat volume. I love that these two scrolls were included because I like to be able to fine tune my audio quickly while in game. The triggers have an adjustment switch from normal to extremely short. This is great for playing first person shooters which can shorten your response time. The controller comes out of the box with three profiles pre-configured sport, shooting, and racing. The profile button on the back of the controller can let you easily toggle between the three profiles. If you do not like the preset maps, you can customize the controller to your own personal settings. The SCUF Valor pro controller is an easy to use and fully customizable pro controller straight out of the box. It is one of the best controllers I have ever used and takes your gaming to another level. It works with both Xbox and PC. If you are looking for to upgrade your controller and become more competitive than look no further.
