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

In Your Opinion, What Is The Best Controller Available For Xbox Series X?

Mine started crumbling within a couple years. I went with SCUF Instinct Pro and it just randomly died at its 2nd birthday, so I'm on a search for something better.

Stick drift on G7 Pro Wuchang

Neither of mine do. The last expensive controller I had drift issues with was Scuf Instinct Pro, because it uses regular sticks and even then the controller worked fine besides that for over 2 years.

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

Best Controller?

One of the rear paddles on my Scuf Instinct Pro just broke again last night for the 8th or 9th time if that tells you anything. Steer clear of Scuf unless you want your controller to be sent in more for repair than playtime you have with it.

The new Gamesir G7 Pro is amazing, but I’m going to return it

Get a scuf instinct pro. It's exactly the same but with nice rubber grips. Just be ready to buy another one after a 6m to 1y. It's very expensive controller and while it's nice it breaks every fucking time. My last one got stick drift after 8 months
