    Best controller ever made. TMR sticks with zero drift. Trigger locks perfect. Sticks allow for accuracy, precision, and micro adjustments in FPS. Extreme long battery life. Back buttons are high end and easy to use. Zero issues with this controller after 2 months. Highly recommend for anyone that plays FPS. IF it proves to have longevity, there will never be any need to buy another brand of controller.

    The scuff valor pro is a really good pro controller it has exceptional build quality ease of use and very good hand feel It is slightly bigger than a normal Xbox controller, but don’t let that deter you from buying it.

    I’ve had a fair bit of game controllers over the years and it never fails that eventually at least one of the thumb sticks starts to drift. I’ve had one controller with Hall Effect and have wished more controllers had them. Now I have this one with Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) and I think I might like them a bit better. I can’t quite explain it, but they feel a bit more snappy and precise. But, technically they should still last a lot longer than the default potentiometers of most standard controllers. Only time will tell, but since they are like the Hall Effects in the sense that they are using magnets instead of physical connections, they shouldn’t have those issues. As for the controller in general, it is about 6g heavier than my original Series X controller but feels so much better in hand. The rubberized grips and the shape of the extra buttons on the back just rest perfect in hand. If you don’t like the extra buttons, you can pop the two middle ones out and replace them with flat caps. The other two flow seamlessly into the grip. The A/B/X/Y buttons are regular membrane like the standard controllers, the RB/LB are like mouse clicks and the RT/LT you can flip a switch and take it instantly from analog to digital, like you have two more mouse buttons. In the center back of the controller you have the profile button which can switch between 3 on board profiles and be used to program the paddles on the fly. The different profiles can include the programming of the buttons, the stick response and deadzones, with lowest of 4%, trigger response and deadzones and vibration. All changed through the app on PC and/or Xbox. The app is currently in beta, so you have to get it on PC through the Microsoft Store first, then you can install it on Xbox with the same account. One odd thing that threw me off is that you have to have the controller in Xbox mode while using the app, even on a PC. But, then you can switch it back to PC which then the audio settings change to Valor Pro instead of Xbox Controller. It works on PC in either mode, it’s just how Windows recognizes it. Speaking of the audio, it has a 3.5mm jack and two scroll wheels. The left one is for audio and the right one is for chat/game mix, which only seems to work on the Xbox. But, both of them can be pushed in with the left one instantly muting audio and the right muting the microphone. Personally, I found the audio level to get reduced a fair bit when listening through the controller versus straight to my PC. But, having the simple mute option is handy regardless. On the Xbox the mix works fine. Overall, with this controller, it has certainly helped up my game. The extra paddles are easy to program and use while being able to quickly switch between different profiles. The app, though a bit of a task to get working, helps really refine everything about it. Whether you are using it for PC, Xbox or something like the Quest over Bluetooth, you are in control.

    The SCUF Valor Pro Wireless is absolutely a premium-feeling controller. It has real weight to it, feels high-end in the hands, and performs great across the board. Build quality is top-tier, and the short-pull mechanical triggers are a sweet touch. It works great with my Xbox and with my Steam Deck.

    I’ve been using the SCUF Valor Pro Wireless, and overall, it really does feel like a high-end controller built for serious gaming. The drift-resistant TMR sticks are one of the biggest highlights is that they feel precise and smooth, and I love knowing they’re built to last. I also like having multiple ways to connect, whether it’s the low-latency 2.4GHz dongle, Bluetooth, or just plugging in with USB-C. The four rear paddles and instant triggers have been great for shooters, and the grip and overall build quality feel premium. Being able to tweak everything in the SCUF Companion App, from stick sensitivity to button mapping, really helps dial it in. That said, it’s not perfect. The paddle placement feels a little awkward for my hands, and the sticks felt stiff until I adjusted the settings. Bluetooth isn’t super reliable on PC, so I mainly stick to the 2.4GHz dongle. I’ve also noticed some small quirks with audio when using a wired headset, which lines up with what other users have mentioned. Battery life is fine, but nothing amazing. Still, even with those issues, I really like using the Valor Pro Wireless; it feels like a controller built for performance, and once I tuned it to my liking, it became a strong part of my setup.

    Pros: Feels premium. Feels great in hand. Great for FPS/COD Really like the outer paddles, but the middle ones are just awkward for me. The TMR sticks feels nice. Some Cons: I keep losing connection about every other week, it feels. The controller will just shut off mid-game, even with a full battery. Had a could times I had to do a hard reset because after turning off my console the controller still stayed out. Even though I really like it. I feel like I might return it because I already know It's not going to perform long term. Too many things have happened within the first month and half or so. Another nitpick thing. The way I hold the controller in the middle of gun fights, I keep hitting LB while holding down LT because of the way LB/RB wraps around, and It's pretty annoying the app def needs works.

    I was a long time Elite 1+2 user. I first switched to the Razer Wolverine V3. It was good, but too small for my hands. I replaced that with the Valor Pro. It’s slightly bigger than an Elite 2. Great weight, rumble, buttons, triggers, and TMR sticks. Only bad thing about this controller is the Xbox must be on to charge it. It will not charge in standby mode. If you can live with that, I think it’s the best controller currently on the market.

    I love the position of the back buttons on my Scuf instinct pro. Unfortunately I have had 2 controllers get stick drift and I'm currently having a warranty one sent to me for the second time in a year. I decided I would try the valor pro being the buttons are in the same spot, and this has tmr sticks. This controller feels really good in my opinion. I have bought and returned several controllers with hall effect sticks as I could never get my aim to be as good. I only play Call of Duty/ Warzone and this controller seems to be pretty good with a few tweeks. Unfortunately to get the xbox dedicated app, you need to have a windows PC to download it. After downloading it on your computer it can be found on your xbox. It is not in the store for xbox. So thats annoying and another step, but its worth it. Ive had it for about 2 weeks and have had 2 out of the blue disconnects. I dont know why. It is sure nice not having stick drift though. Just be sure to update the controller after obtaining the xbox app. I would recommend and probably buy another one.

    Love this controller so far, it definitely has a different feel to it than the wolverine v2 from razor as that is the one i had previously owned. Especially the way they have the paddles placed. They feel satisfying to press and I like how the triggers feel like mouse clicks when you have the hair triggers switched on. It’s pretty light for being a wireless controller. I kind of expected to have some heft to it. Overall seems like a solid controller especially from a company that’s been in this business for a long time. i remember when i was a teen trying to get a scuff controller. Excited to see what others they may come out with in the future

    If your use to a standard controller and afraid of spending to much to upgradefor this controller dont be. It is a amazing controller and easy to hook up and use. It is lighter then a standard controller. Has solid button response. Triggers give you the option of regular button range or short pull. Analog sticks are different and something to get use to but very smooth and responsive. Has a great battery life and is comfortable in the hands. Playing for a couple hours is easy and no strain. Have only had it for a month.

    Honest Review + Huge Tip With The Companion App

    |

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    After playing for 2 weeks with this controller I can say it is a solid tool to enhance your gameplay. The TMR sticks are great. Absolutely no stick drift, unlike my Elite Series 2 that had it straight out the box. Playing on zero dead zones (which I have never been able to do before) I noticed a significant improvement in my overall aiming. The trigger stops are great and give the triggers a mouse like click as well as the bumpers. Now let me get to the cons. This could just be personal preference but for the price point I believe the abxy buttons and d-pad should also have the mouse click like feel same as the triggers and bumpers. Seems like a missed opportunity to me for a controller that is $200 after taxes especially when compared to a controller like the g7 pro that has this feature on every button for half the price. Also, I find the back paddles extremely difficult and uncomfortable to use. The 2 on the grip have a completely different feel than the two smaller ones which have a mouse like click and I feel like they are too difficult to press at times. Now I do play claw so this may have something to do with the uncomfortable feeling but I did not have this problem on the Elite Series 2 which I thought did the back paddles perfectly. Another issue I had which again could just be preference is the fact that you cannot bind a button to work as a shift key. I had this feature on my Elite Series 2 and it was a game changer in certain games and for me is a MUST have feature especially for this price. Lastly, I don’t know why they made it so difficult to get access to the app that allows you to customize the controller and remap the buttons on Xbox but I’ll give you a tip that worked for me. On your Xbox open up Microsoft edge and search for the official Scuf website. Once there search for this exact controller and click on it. Scroll down until you find the section titled Companion App (BETA) and click the learn more link. From there click the first link that says available here. It should take you to the Microsoft Store website. From there, login with your Microsoft account and then add the app and it should now be on your console for you to use. Like I said very difficult to access the app as you can not just search it up and download on the Xbox store without doing these steps and they do not explain this anywhere on their page or in the manual. Overall I think it is a pretty great controller. The TMR sticks are game changing but for the price I think you would be better off getting a g7 pro that has all these features for half the price.

    I swapped the instinct pro for this controller. I will say this is better feeling and more robust in hand than the IP, but I found the large “paddles” stiffer to activate than the IP. The instinct pro was a great controller (though felt cheaply made) but no built in battery is a no go IMO. After a few days of using the Valor pro, I found myself going back to my elite 2. I saw no real difference with the TMR sticks but I did not use if long enough to see if it helps eliminate stick drift. I’ll be returning this soon to BB (thank you total tech) but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad controller, it just didn’t work out well for me. I say buy it and give it a shot.

    Best Sticks in the Game, Worst back buttons

    I am an Elite Series 2 Owner so that's what I am used to. The stick on the Valor Pro are amazing. Instantly noticeable and if you have not tried TMR do yourself the favor. You can hold shot on an opponent easier and longer. You can find a player much quicker. Sticks on this out of the box are tunes beautifully and feel perfect. Face buttons and triggers are great as well. I like that RB LB come down the side little bit.. This controller also feels great in the hands. A little bigger than the Series X and elite controllers. The big caveat on these scuf controllers is the back buttons. You basically get two Because the reverse firing upper buttons is the worst design out there. We are supposed to push up with the back of our fingers? awful. IF you can live with two back buttons they are ok. But the force it takes to press these on the valor is too much. It strained my hands eventually. The Envision I found used was much more clicky but the ones on the valor are not useable for my style. I rate the series 2 back buttons as basically perfect. Paddles that are easy to press on all four fingers. Outside of that issue this is a stellar controller.

    Been pleased with this purchase. Controller feels good in the hand and feels solid. Responsive buttons and sticks and very easy to swap between PC & Xbox though ive not tried to see if it has bluetooth as well. Price point is a lottle high but the TMR sticks and overall build quality i can live with it. Only time will tell overall longevity but I prefer this Scuf to both of my Elite controllers.

    The SCUF Valor Pro Wireless feels incredible in hand, with grips that keep it secure and comfortable through long gaming sessions. The build quality is premium and perfectly balanced — it feels solid without being heavy. Battery life is impressive, lasting multiple sessions before needing a charge. The wireless connection stays strong with zero lag. Easily one of the best controllers I’ve used for Xbox.

    I recently replaced my XBOX Scuf instinct pro with this controller. The triggers are good but I have big hands this controller is a little smaller then the Scuf instinct pro I sometimes hit the extended LB/RB triggers. The Joy sticks are outstanding and feel better than the instinct pro. Im not a fan of the USB dongle but its a great all around controller.

    Pros: Ergonomics & feel: Comfortable in hand with a matte grip and thoughtful button placement that many players appreciate for long sessions. Premium components: Includes removable paddles and quality bumpers, plus non-slip grips that help control the controller during intense play. Audio controls: Onboard volume and chat/game audio wheels and mic mute options add convenience for headset users. Cons: Some players report quirky paddle placement — the inner paddles especially can feel awkward or easily pressed accidentally until you get used to them. Build and finish quality feels premium, but a few users on forums mention visible wear after relatively short use.

    I was skeptical with stuff for the longest mainly due to their limited warranty. I mainly went to this controller because as an owner of several elite series 2 controllers I needed something with more up-to-date technology in this one hits it right on money. The grip on the top of the controller is smooth with slight grip. The grip in the bag strong, especially for people who sweat the battery life is great, and the buttons on the backside are pretty well played. This might be a personal preference. Definitely recommend this controller.

    This controller is very good The sticks are rather loose though so if you like tight sticks this one does not contain tensioners and also the bumpers are quite long so they go down the side of the controller a little bit so be prepared to accidentally hit them until you get used to it overall great build quality and great feel.
