Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024Color: Steel GrayVerified PurchaseI loved this controller at first, the trigger clicks like mouse buttons. Unfortunately, I have button sticking on X and B. Never spilled anything on it, just bad sticking. I applied alcohol to a swab and cleaned it, which helped a little but I think it just has weak springs. If it weren’t for that I’d rate this controller a 5 star. I love the layout of the underside buttons far better than the Xbox Pro 2 (in which the charging port breaks easily on)
- Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2022Color: Steel GrayVerified PurchaseFirst off, I love gaming im a big halo fan. And let me just say this, its been a long 22 years of halo im just trying to continue playing and get better. And this controller that scuf instinct pro has delivered and brought to me has stepped my game up so much im now onyx at the newest halo infinite. So let's get into detail...
First off the controller durability is amazing ive had zero problems. At first I thought I had stick drift when I started playing with it at first, but it went away and I've had no stick drift the last 9 months of hard core gaming I've been playing with this controller.
Now the sicks are amazing feel amazing move so smooth on the anti friction rings they did there job there trust me.
And I must say the trigger and bumpers are amazing especially the trigger mouse click stops they are so fun and satisfying to play with and take your game to the next level of course!!
Don't even get me started on the conformt and customization. It is truly an amazing feel and look with too much to choose from I can't wait to hold this controller the next day.
Thanks scuff

- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2022Color: Steel GrayVerified PurchaseI have a bit of an xbox controller addition. I own every Scuf (everyone of them has broken at some point), I also own the Elite series 2, and a Hex Gaming controller. My thoughts on the Scuf pro instinct are largely negative, but lets start with the pros.
Pros:
- Visually pleasing: I will admit the controller looks beautiful, like something a pro esports player would wield. Unfortunately, its the only good thing about it.
Cons:
- Breakable: Ive owned 3 iterations of scuf, everyone of them has broken at some point, 2 stick drifts, and the last generation controller got so hot that it melted the faceplate and obviusly ceased to function. And this one followed suit, the rb button caved in just some weeks into having it. I opted for money back.
-Thoughtless design: The back paddle are piss. Plain and simple. the bottom ones are serviceable enough but its a chore to push the top ones in game accurate becuase you hate to push up at an angle. Hey scuf if you're reading this, whoevers idea that was should recieve a pink slip immediately. Its a step backwards compaired to previous models.
- No innovation: There just isnt much this controller adds to any other version of itself. I guess they deserve a little credit for getting rid of the ridiculous mapping system of its predecessors (using a magnet on the back of the controller.) However its still not even almost as good as the mapping system on the hex, and even further front the Elite 2.
Price: This is the most expensive non modded after market controller. And its the worst one. If you would like the advice of someone who spend way too much on controllers like an idiot, heres what I have to say. Get an Elite Series 2. The mapping system is excellent. Great build and feel, the paddles are placed pretty well. Im not going to lie, the Elite 2 will probably break on you at some point with a stick drift. But Microsofts Customer service is excellent. Ive sent back my elite twice for it, and each time I have a new controller at my door 3 days after sending it to their warehouse.
Customer Service: Scufs customer service in my singular experience trying to contact them is a joke. They ended up straigh up ghosting me.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2024Color: Steel GrayVerified PurchaseI have had my Scuf since 2022 and I have used it nearly every day of my life (not exactly but you get it). It has held up great and I have had no joystick drift or issues with buttons. The paddles are sturdy and overall this is the best controller I have ever used and will never use anything but a Scuf again!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2024Color: BlackVerified PurchaseThe controller over all is great, but the quality is severely lacking for the price. Within a month the triggers began squeaking along with the thumb sticks. I wouldn’t buy this again.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2025Color: Steel GrayVerified PurchaseI wish I would have went with my gut feeling and bought this one straight out but instead I went to the Internet to look at the top ones so I bought a razor and I bought the Xbox elite series 2 supposed to be the two top ones. Don’t get me wrong. I love both of them, but after using this one, it’s like they took the best out of each one putting it in this one. Buying this one last I’m regretting it bad. I freaking love this controller. I highly recommend it very much. It is nearly perfect. and on top of that, it looks good. don’t do like me go straight out and get the.Scuf instant.

2.0 out of 5 stars Stick drift after a week
Color: RedVerified PurchaseFor what it is, I feel this controller is overpriced. It has it's benefits in terms of gameplay options and control mapping but within a week of playing, I had heavy stick drift on the right stick. I've altered the sensitivity and the drift zones to no avail.
This is supposed to be the Gucci of controllers but the stick drift makes it feel like Primark.
I'll be returning this one for a new controller and may update depending on how a replacement works

5.0 out of 5 stars Davvero solido e performante
Color: RedVerified PurchaseIn passato ho avuto le due versioni del controller Pro xbox e questo non è neanche un lontano parente e almeno due scalini sopra i materiali con qui e costruito lo scuff sono molto al di sopra del Pro xbox che dopo 5/6mesi era già ridotto male la prima versione,la seconda dopo 4mesi era scollato la leva del movimento andava da solo e per non farsi mancare nulla, un bel giorno il lato sx dell impugnatura e in pratica spaccato a metà con quella plastica da 4 spicci e notare che costa 20 euro in meno di questo .che dire se volete un controller che valga i soldi spesi e questo.
