The most hyped controller of late 21/early 22. The first PS5 controller from the premium controller giant Scuf, backed by Corsair. All new paddle design, rubber grips that get stickier with your hands temperature, swappable thumbsticks and anti friction rings. Does the overall performance and comfort of this controller warrant a $260 price tag out the door, and a wait list and drop system to lock one in? We will find out today, then compare to the most comparable competitors, and I will give you my verdict on this piece of plastic.

  • A couple notes: I shot some b roll showing me removing the trim piece to install the different thumbsticks but I guess it didn't make it in the video, it is very simple, it just pops up and then you pull of the old sticks, slide on the new ones and replace the trim. I also called the Instinct Pro controller, the Impact several times but had a correction pop up on screen, I just reviewed the Scuf Impact so I guess the name was hot on my brain. This video took alot of time to shoot and edit so if you do enjoy it, I ask that you please like the video as that helps it to be promoted and seen by more people, so I can continue to grow this channel and make a poop wagon load more controller videos. Thank you all for your support, I genuinely appreciate it! If you have any questions about the controller put them here.

    *read this before buying, reasonable advice* Bought this to play COD Warzone. I owned the SCUFF FPS reflex controller for 3 months before the R1 button stopped working. Clicky trigger no longer clicked and was sent to Scuff under warranty to repair. Issue was fixed and got the controller back in a little over a month. About 4 months later I started experiencing an issue with drift. Not your typical stick drift (i.e. cursor slowly moves in certain games and can be fixed using deadzone corrections) but a stick drift that literally moves what you see selected on the screen as it if you were pressing the analog stick all the way down. I am not talking just in game, even on the PS5 menu screen it randomly moved at full speed making the controller a paper weight. Add the RMA repair at this point I have had the controller for a little over 180 days and guess what the warranty period is? 180 days! Messaged Scuff to see what they could do and was told that since it was past 180 days I would have to pay for repair which would range from $20-100! I paid $300 CAD for this product, add the potential cost of repair and it would be $400 for this controller! Let me ask you, would you do it? The product is poor quality. In addition to what I have mentioned there are plastic mold quality concerns as well as design flaws: PS5 controller have 2 plastic parts (top and bottom) that come together like a clam. The top plastic does not sit flush with the bottom. You can feel it when you run your index finger up and down along the sides. This is not the case with OEM controller. There are 4 paddles. Unfortunately the inner paddles are easily pressed by accident so if you're trying to do a jump shot and accidently hit the inner paddles as well as the outer nothing registers at all. The easy fix is to remove the inner paddles so if you're looking for 4 paddles it'll likely be unplayable. You'll have to be very careful. Here's my suggestion. I've owned OEM controller for over 30 years and NONE of them have broken like this poor quality product. WAIT and buy the PS5 Edge Controller which is the EXACT same price as the SCUFF and very likely better quality. Don't cheap out (actually not cheap, don't get ripped off) by buying a Scuff controller than has a reputation for breaking down and stick drift. You can actually replace the analog sticks modules on the Edge without having to buy an entire new controller if you experience stick drift!!! It's pretty much a guarantee that the EDGE will be better quality than SCUFF and they are the same price so there is really no point in buying this controller. Don't get ripped of like I did. I hope this helps someone.

  • @GHawkRecon83
    Excellent review, covered all of my questions and concerns and it’s now on order.
  • @iiMzry
    Best review out there 👌👌 8 months into my instinct pro, a paddle already broke. I think this reflex is the way to go because you can swap out the paddles.

  • @bigOnion4
    Got my hands on a blue reflex pro a few days ago after 3 or 4 attempts. Won’t arrive until may so I thought I’d check out a few reviews. Glad I could your channel. I’m not hard on controllers so hopefully the 6 month warranty won’t matter. Anyways thanks for the review
