Yo how the hell does this video only have 3.3k views man. One of the most high effort reviews I've seen in a while from a small content creator. Well done.

[@TomasVillegas]

It's the nature of KZbin. Thank you for stopping by and commenting 🤝

[@ace-sz9bw]

This is one of the best reviews thank you for helping me decide on getting one of these controllers

[@TomasVillegas]

Thanks for watching 🤝

[@gkammy]

honestly when you search online for reviews on a product a lot of them are going to be bad since they have actually bothered to go online and complain anyway, If something works perfectly most people just stick with it and not bother leaving reviews.

[@edcollins1928]

Thank you for this really genuine and helpful review. I bought my first scuf controller with a discount code just yesterday but like you I'm feeling some buyers remorse and came here looking for something that might reduce that - and you have. Hopefully I'll have a good experience too 🤞🏻

[@TomasVillegas]

It'll be good. I've had a couple of Scuf controllers and they're all still working just fine. 👍

[@nikolasseoane5379]

Awesome and very genuine review, and I like that he described at first he was feeling buyer's remorse but a year later he loves it, that helps me out as I got an impact 2 days ago and feel crappy bc im only using 2 paddles rn

[@TomasVillegas]

It takes time to get used it. You'll get there 👍

[@alfman0016]

Hey man, all i can say is, you have conviced my wallet to change its mind! Regarding the controversy around scuf it really is preference at the end of the day and these controllers kick ass just like so many others. Thanks again man, great video!

[@TomasVillegas]

Appreciate the comment. Thanks Alfie 🤝

[@exno8767]

thanks for the video I've been nervous that my controller will break after seeing the bad experiences online

[@sumthinvishus9300]

Just clean it if anything goes wrong. 99% of the problems people complain about can be solved with a Q-tip. And don’t rage throw it. That’s another reason why their controllers break 😂

[@jamesadkinsiii7925]

I have had multiple scufs and they have always broke but I continue to buy more because I LOVE their controllers, if that makes any sense😂 I’ve always had either a trigger just stopped working or the paddles on the back stopped working after a few months up to a year. So worse caste scenario if you take care of your controller, you’ll spend the money for a new controller every year if you base it off of my experience. There was 1 controller I was a bit rough with so I won’t count that one as messing up, but other than that I have had 3 that eventually developed issues around the later half of a year. I would still recommend them. Who knows, I could’ve got just really bad luck, some people can have really good luck and theirs never break. But i just moved into a new house and ordered a really nice standing desk from UpLift and once I get it, I’m either going to buy cable guys, or buy little display platforms for all my Scuf controllers that I have ordered over the years. They still look brand new so it’s going to look so cool to display them all over my desk. I’m getting ready to order one here in the next few days and this will make my 5th Scuf in the past 4 years haha

[@sumthinvishus9300]

@@jamesadkinsiii7925 nice dude! I just ordered a Scuf Impact a week ago with digital triggers and I got about another week before it comes. I had one before and it lasted me about a year with little issues accept for one of the paddles acting up.. but I feel the same way as you.. I love their product

[@jamesadkinsiii7925]

@@sumthinvishus9300 yeah! It works super well, if they can improve the durability or QA just a tad it would be a no brained for everyone to have one of their controllers. Like I said I still recommend them though! Yeah my last Scuf I got digital triggers for both and I loved them SO much!! Sadly the paddles on the bake, all but one are very sticky, like they still work but the paddles have no feedback to them anymore. Only 1 of 4 makes a click noise and the rest are like stuck to the controller buttons on the back and I just have to shove against the back of the controller for them to work and it’s very annoying. Now that I am typing it out it sounds like not a big problem but I can’t put up with that anymore haha is there a way to fix the controller problem that I’m describing? It’s almost as if the little tiny buttons on the back of the controller are like pushed inward and stuck inside the controller just enough not to active the button press. So when I press the paddles it barely hits it and it registers but does not give any feedback once hitting the button at all because it’s basically already pushed in if that make sense haha

[@CRAZY-M6641]

It will. But will only work with PS4 games.

[@djjuaky8710]

Una pregunta amigo, si tú has comprado uno me puedes ayudar? Yo he comprado uno por la web, me enviaron un correo diciendo que me debería de llegar tal día a mi domicilio, pero aquí la cuestión: por otra parte una empresa de reparto seur manda un correo 2 días antes de la fecha que me tiene que llegar diciendo que para que el paquete salga de la aduana tengo que pagar un reembolso, y creo que es un timo , yo pague el envío premiun en la web. A usted como le llegó? Gracias, haber si me puedes ayudar un saludo.

[@felipemunoz1099]

Pudiste recuperar tu control? El pago de impuestos aduaneros es siempre un monto diferente del producto + envío. El envío premium solo significa que se envía más rápido. (Por el tiempo de la pregunta, imagino que ya te enteraste de eso)

[@jona4627]

Have you heard of any issues with emr not working with r3? It’s so frustrating. Other than that, I love my impact

[@TomasVillegas]

I haven't had any issues. Contact Scuf support maybe? 🤷‍♂️

[@Smooth__Opr8tor]

What triggers would you recommend if I wanted a controller for battlefield 2042 and would drive vehicles??

[@TomasVillegas]

Adjustable hair triggers.

[@YoSocial]

ok for the sticks just get control freeks

[@airdreams1]

I just wish that Sony would go back to the old PS1 and PS2 style stick. That round Dome is far more superior. Not only in grip but in comfort. The concave dished out Xbox 360 style thumbstick just suck. When you get playing a game where you are doing long periods of moving forward constantly it starts to damn near cut into your hand creating bruising on your thumbs. This may not be such an issue for guys that are playing Call of Duty and stuff where you're running back and forth back and forth back and forth in and out in and out of hiding areas and what not. But on longer open world games it is absolutely a big problem. In the aftermarket slip on button BS they make doesn't really help either all it does is make the damn thumb stick taller and more awkward especially for those of us that have smaller hands.

[@kirkshammett94]

The question now for me is should I get this or the new scuf ps5 controllers?

[@TomasVillegas]

Wait 👍

[@ikbalratupesa]

Wait wha. You said struggling driving around in warzone with digital tap? Is like half speed or what? I need explanation. Cuz i wanna buy the same setup as yours as well. Thanks in advance mate

[@jcramirez77]

the new impacts have a black and yellow stock module instead of the grey and green stick module shown here? what the heck did they do?
