Scuf Instinct Pro Review-The Most Anticipated Controller of 2021

[@ftsaur]

Appreciate the humor and effort you put into the video man. Keep doing your thing!

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Thanks Frank

[@ademturan7137]

The Mouse Click Triggers and the overall design are the main reasons for me why I got the Scuf Instinct Pro. Beautiful device.

[@carbon_no6]

Scuf doesn’t make a product that justifies the OUTRAGEOUS price they set forth.

[@JackLeftTown427]

That depends on your experience with the controller. I’ve been using mine over a month since around the time the MWII beta weekend 2 and it is the best pro/custom controllers I’ve had the chance to use.

[@branleesan]

I love my prestige my only complaint has been the weak paddles. I only use one paddle so when it breaks I have to buy a whole new set just to replace the one. Other than that it has been great the last few years I don’t remember when I purchase it exactly.

[@henry06x]

Just purchased an instinct pro, previously had a scuf infinity and before that I built my own. Personally I liked the paddles from the prestige. The instinct I am having to retrain my grip because in my opinion the buttons are too low. I do like the tall domed stick came in the box and I didn’t have to buy them. I’ve used evil sticks tall stick forever for the right stick. Personally still prefer the evil stick and think it feels better but I got use to the scuf tall domed.

[@nufangld]

Small detail on the Elite Series 2 trigger stop, the controller remaps the analog output of the trigger so you still get a full range with its shortest trigger stop. That is better than a simple piece of plastic blocking its movement.

[@Yittups]

With the plastic stops you can't charge a plasma pistol in halo or drive a vehicle in warzone from my experience thats why I have an elite series 2 now.

[@Esspppiia]

Time for the update on your experience with this controller. I just bought one today. Thank you!

[@lordnipplus2505]

Sorry if you mentioned this and I didn’t catch it, but if you’re using the Instinct Pro with the triggers set to mouse-click mode, is the trigger click equivalent to fully pulling the trigger on a stock controller? My problem with the PowerA Fusion Pro is when I’m playing Warzone with the trigger stops in and I go to drive a vehicle, it’s only like a 50% trigger pull so the car is only moving at half speed.

[@UnlimitedProduction1]

Shouldn't you be able to change the trigger pull on the fusion pro as well?

[@javier14966]

Idk if you got the answer to this yet but there might be a setting for trigger dead zone. I don’t play COD but it’s in halo. You’ll want to lower that setting to the lowest you can.

[@Randall7]

I look forward to that review 6 months later! Mine just came in today & I’ve never had a controller with back buttons/paddles so it’s a crazy new experience

[@FamNFitness]

Such a great point ! i just bought mine to. Coming from a elite series 2 owner the learning curve for me is the triggers i feel like i’m pressing them but don’t know if i am because how stiff they are lol. Overall a really great controller

[@kristof46]

Everyone on YT is so hyped exited about this controller. What’s more important everyone recommends it. I admit that these paddles look better than elite 2 where I can use only two of them. Anyway six months warranty only 4 analogs and no tension option for analogs mean that this controller is waaay to expensive.

[@jakob7225]

This past September I received my Scuf Instinct controller. It took 5 weeks to get to me and I live near Toronto, Canada. My right thumbstick just broke (December) and refuses to work, I play cod religiously and have never mistreated my controller. It took 3 months to break now I am going to have to deal with at least two months of sending it back then waiting on the return fixed product. If I knew about the Xbox Elite V2 at my local Walmart I would of never spent $300 Canadian on the scuf controller. In my opinion based on my experience it is over priced and you're better off finding the Xbox Elite V2 or just learning Mouse and Keyboard and saving yourselves money and time. Best of luck!

I’ve been using this controller for a month and I can honestly say that Scuf is on the right path they are improving their designs and the overall durability of their products.

Yes! There is and I just actually got one myself and it is sweet. It pairs just like a controller to an xbox and you can turn the controller on and off as you please, and have up to 8 paired at a time (not for multiplayer but like different controllers you use so you dont have to pair them each time). I linked it below, I was a little wary because its 25 bucks but in my opinion it is worth it.

How do the bumper buttons hold up? I got elite series 2 and the rb stopped working

[@rynjnwy]

I got a Scuf Instinct Pro and Elite Series 2 xbox controller. I got to say, by far, the Elite Series 2 outperforms the Scuf controller. The big negative for me was that when you put the Scuf triggers to the mouse click short pull, it doesn't move at all. That would be great, if I got some kind of physical que for a "hey you pulled the trigger," but no I couldn't feel the trigger pull at all. You might be thinking oh what about the audible click. Yeah not really audible when you get in a game and start hearing explosions and stuff. The click gets drowned out. Or if you wear a over the ear headset like I do half the time, you will never hear it. So, in conclusion, Scuf controller +paddles +working xbox controller +interchangeable batteries and big minus on the trigger short pull. The Elite Series 2 controller just feels quality in your hands unlike the Scuf controller. The Scuf controller feels like just any old xbox controller tbh. So, if you want a better looking slightly, (and I mean slightly) better performance controller, go with Scuf for that big 'ol $200 minimum. But if you want something that actually feels like an upgrade for real, (even just the thumbstick movements feel better) get the Elite Series 2 for $180 full price or $137 on sale (I estimated the Elite Series 2 prices, but they are definitely under $200 for sure and ship WAYYY faster).

[@tsoffroad5834]

I have a elite series 2 and loved it but they don't last and only Have like a 3 month warranty. Face buttons don't register so you basically gotta use the paddles to pick up stuff on cod. I died alot in CQC engagements because I couldn't pick up a gun fast enough. So I just went back to the standard xbox one controller and got the strike pack eliminator for the back buttons and it works well that way.

[@-predict7443]

Ye the face button problem make the elite 2 unplayable for me, and also the drift, its just a worse version of the original Xbox controller but with Features

@@gummybear41283 Hey man I have tried practically every controller on the market from Battle Beaver, Scuf, Elite 2, Evil controller, Aim and Hex gaming I have returned them all except for the Battle Beaver and this Scuf Instinct. I believe that Battle Beaver has the best smart triggers but the downside is that you are stuck with that trigger throughout the lifetime of the controllers. With that being said the Scuf instinct’s paddle design is pretty good not the best but I think the selling point for this controller are those triggers they are amazing and imo one of the best implemented trigger stops to ever be made. You can turn them on off whenever and or mix match if that what you desire overall it gives you options and you get the best of both world’s.
