Well, if you're a shooter fan looking for an edge, you'll find arguably the best triggers in the business right here. If you've had any sort of 'pro' controller before and often end up forgetting to use the underside buttons, then you might be wondering what else the Scuf Instinct Pro can offer you. Of course, I do still accidentally press them every time I plop myself down on the couch with the controller though - standard. Overall, the layout of these extra buttons really works and feel easy enough to reach, but not so much that I'm constantly accidentally hitting them because there are limited ways in which you can hold the controller - an issue I sometimes have with the Elite series. But for reloading, activating items, and the like, it's a neat way of keeping your thumbs on the analogs. It takes a little getting used to, and I'd avoid assigning jump/crouch actions to it just in case you don't quite hit it in time as it does feel like you have to 'travel' a bit more to hit it than the other underside button. The P2 and P3 buttons can be accessed with the same middle finger in a sideways motion, essentially using the side of the finger's joint to activate it rather than the tip. The P1 and P4 keys are the easiest to access and work well with more urgent inputs like jumping. Speaking of which, these discrete buttons are a little different from those seen on the Elite Series 2, or Razer's fancier controllers. ![]() The new rubber grip on the rear of the handles is excellent and should help avoid accidental clicks of the new underside buttons. There are lots of choices for faceplates, but a surprisingly small selection for the other parts. You can choose to pay another $3.99 to have the vibration motors removed too. You're looking at $9.99 for a pair of colored bumpers and the same again for triggers. You can ditch the standard D-pad for something a bit rounder (calling all fighter fans), which is free unless you want to chuck in an extra $4.99 for color. Picking a different color for the plastic ring around the analog hole is cheap at $1.99 per ring. ![]() You can choose short or long, concave or domed, analogs at no extra charge, but it's an extra $4.99 to choose a color. Different colors of text on the face buttons is another $9.99. The cheapest version of the Scuf Instinct Pro starts at, $199.99/£189.99, but as you go through the multiple customization options on Scuf's site, the prices start to shoot up even higher.Ĭolored faceplates (black or white are free) start at $9.99 and go up to $19.99 for the fancier designs. As things stand, you can only buy these controllers from the official Scuf website, as you are able to customize your own specific model with multiple cosmetic practical parts. Way smaller than the series 1.Let's talk about that price, though. oh and the paddles are made for baby hands on the series 2. My sticks still drift and the rear top paddles sometimes don't work more than my 5 year old elite 1 controller. But you kinda can't see if it works right without buying one first( in my case it took 3 returns and 4 purchases to get one that works MOST OF THE TIME. If your elite works out of the box then I'd say elite depending on your stick preference. For only 20$ more you get a way better overall experience. Which is a carry case, charging wire, 4 sticks, and some grips. Scuf let's you choose which sticks you want and also sends you 2 extras with the remote and 6 extras (in total) if you get the beginner pack. The elite removed my personal favorite sticks so I can't even use it if I wanted to unless I order extra sticks which shouldn't be a thing. ![]() Some people get lucky and get perfect ones and if that's the case I'd say depending on what joysticks you like I'd go for either or. But I've had the scuf for about a week or two now and I haven't had any problems. even sent my 3rd one to Microsoft to be repaired and they said it worked perfectly after some repairs and when I got it back it had the exact same problems. And the joysticks have drifted on all 4 I have owned right out of the box. The vibration feels very junky sometimes. The triggers sometimes unresponsive which gets you killed. Paddles rarely work, face buttons work like 70% of the time. My elite 2 along with 3 others that I've owned all have the same problems. I have the elite series 2 and the scuf instinct pro and I highly recommend the pro over the elite 2.
