yet another night of casuals filled with loser sweats. that is all.

To be completely honest with you, no..... I would be happy to tell you my experiences though. SCUF Instinct Pro: Worked great first couple of months, then stick drift started and I can't remember if it was the left bumper or the A Button started jamming, very quickly went downhill and more buttons s

What controller’s thumb sticks drift more? It determines which console I’ll buy.

As a scuf instinct (pro?) owner, it was the best and worst controller I’ve ever owned. Worked great, but had poor finish. The rubber degraded over a year (I’m very gentle on controllers), the creaking because the controller just has bad build and structural quality somehow, sticking buttons because

What's Everyone's Experience with durability On a Xbox Scuf Instinct/Instinct Pro?

I’ve been using the scuf instinct pro for around 6 months and the quality has went way down, it is good while it’s new however the drift sets in quicker than I’d like, the triggers are worn, the instant bumpers are worn out too, it still works you can just tell it’s been used a fair bit, I will say

Is a scuf controller worth it?

100% yes, great for fps as it gives you an advantage after you've mastered the controller. I have bought a controller since the very beginning, going back to xbox infinity1 controller, i still have it to this day and works 100%. Never had a problem with it. Currently using a scuf instinct pro and wh

Scuf Sucks Ass

I bought a SCUF Instinct Pro earlier this year and after 10 months of normal use it has developed comical levels of stick drift. The white face has turned an ugly brown, too. This thing was over $200 it should last years. I should have read about the high failure rate of these things. It seems like

My collection of all Xbox Elite 2 Design Lab Controllers

It's too bad the Elite V2s are junk. They look and feel really nice. Had at least 4 things wrong with mine after a year. Bought a Scuf Instinct Pro for the same price and it's much better. I've got a Dualsense Edge coming in the mail which is basically the Elite equivalent for Playstation and I'm wo

Thumbcap replacement

SCUF Instinct Pro has identical shell as the Series S/X stock controller but they still have a series QC issues and are very expensive compared to the competition. I have 2 myself both broken down after 6 months with stick drift, stuck fase buttons, triggers and bumpers not registrering.

It finally happened

In my controller collection, I have two Scuf Instinct Pro controllers and one Scuf Envision Pro. There's no denying they're well-made, even though they have some design flaws, like the rear paddles. One of mine broke on an Instinct Pro, and I had to send it in for repair. But the technology used and
