20 Best Scuf Controller For Pc (2023 Updated)

I do not write reviews on the things I buy, even when they are nightmare purchases. This controller has compelled me to finally review something I have purchased. I have owned many custimizable/paddle controllers (Elite series 1 & 2, PS4 & Xbox Scufs, Fusion Pros v1 & 2, Steam controller, Astro C40, and the steelseries stratus) and let me tell you.

The Wolverine Ultimate is the only controller I will purchase for the foreseeable future! The analog sticks are incredibly nice, smooth and accurate to the point where I would turn off aim assist playing on PC and do absolutely fine because micro adjusting your aim is so easy.

The tactile switch ABXY buttons feel like butter when I press them and do not activate over easily like with the elite series. The paddles are placed in such a way that if you didn’t use paddles or were playing something you don’t use them you would never touch the paddles and forget that they were there.

They are in a spot that paddle usually aren’t placed but once you get used to the position they are easily and comfortably pressed and easy to press so you don’t have to strain to hard. Big fan of the position of the extra bumper buttons as well.

I play ALOT of Rocket League and anyone who has played it knows how difficult it can be to dribble the ball in the air for long periods. Before this controller the longest I was able to keep the ball on my car was 30 secs and I could never touch it again no matter which controller or sensitivity I use.

With this controller I blew my record out of the water with 45+ secs the next 4 times since getting used to the controller. Overall this controller is a godsend for controller players and WILL improve your accuarcy/gameplay.

Only complaint I have is the configuration app for PC but its still not bad enough to warrant any less stars for this controller.

Not quite as good as the Elite Series 2, but it’s a solid controller. It’s a little big. The back buttons might be a little too far for some. But overall it’s a great controller. A definite upgrade from the previous Razer controller, the Wildcat.

I’ve used a number of pro style controllers (elite 2, razer wildcat, razer wolverine v2, powerA fusion 1 and 2, Nacon revolution X) and this is my 2nd favorite. The wolverine v2 has better ergonomics, but lacks the programmable buttons to make it worth using.

I originally tried the Wolverine Ultimate when it first came out but returned it. At release it was not compatible with the Xbox Accessories App, meaning it couldn’t be configured at the system level for games that failed to offer adequate control schemes (like pubg).

But now that I’m on Series S a few years later the Ultimate works exactly as I would expect on both my console and laptop.

I’ve owned 2 elite series 2 controllers and they both had build quality issues. The first a vibration/ haptic feedback problem. The second had the right shoulder button problem. I’ve never dropped or thrown my controllers so you can imagine my frustration with equipment I’m gentle with malfunctioning.

Frustrated, I researched carefully, looking for a decent alternative that would fit my fps and racing needs. Apart from the scuf instinct pro nothing seemed like a good fit. I decided to return to bestbuy and try something new – The Razer Ultimate.

At first I was a little displeased with the lack of wireless connectivity but that faded as soon as I felt the snappiness in the game- as soon as tap the jump, shoot, duck buttons it’s already happened.

On top of that is the tactility of those buttons… my God what an improvement over standard controller buttons. I actually want something to happen in the game so I can press buttons to respond. People complain about the placement of the paddles but I honestly don’t mind them.

I never accidentally hit them and I simply place my middle finger on them when needed – I really don’t see why people hate on them. Enough gushing, what are my gripes. Well I wish it was usb c and not microusb.

Second, the build materials could be more deluxe but it’s not horrible at all. Owning the elite series 2 made my bar kinda high but honestly I have zero regrets owning this controller so far. Give it a go, if you don’t love it bring it back for something else.

Simple.

*disclaimer* I can only compare to my previous controller the Razer Wolverine Ultimate. I have not used an Elite Series 2, any Scuf, Turtle Beach etc. This may be considerably better than those I don’t know.

My wolverine ultimate A button stopped working and apparently Razer doesn’t make that controller anymore so I settled for the V2 Chroma which hasn’t impressed me near as much as the wolverine ultimate did.

My first and biggest grip. the start and select buttons are in a HORRENDOUS location. I mean look at where they are and think about trying to use those buttons in tense moments when you need to get in and out of a menu as quick as possible.

This issue is exacerbated by the fact that this controller is stretched out horizontally more than the previous controller (more resemblant of a PS controller) so now you have to reach to push the buttons and on the left side you have to go OVER the stick.

terrible. Finish of the controller doesn’t feel nearly as good as the wolverine ultimate – it feels like lighter, cheaper plastic. The grips on the backside of the wolverine ultimate were a nice soft rubber, but on this one it’s no more than a knurled plastic that just rubs on your hand and makes it feel raw after gaming for extended amounts of time.

The sticks are good, the D pad is circular now but the button stroke is much longer to use it. Similar to the D pad is the A, B, X, and Y buttons. You still get the mechanical click but that’s pointless if the stroke feels just as long as the standard xbox controller.

It’s just a longer (time) commitment to push these buttons now. The strokes were very short and quick on the wolverine ultimate. Apparently input lag is really good (low) on this but unless your controller is a potato I really don’t think you’ll notice it that much.

or if your controller just has bad wireless software/hardware. I’m not sure what they were thinking on this, I’ll probably return it soon because I expect better for the price to be honest.

The controller is a brilliant 4/5 with only some minor collective details costing it a point. I use this controller connected to a PC and use it for games such as Call of duty, rocket league and a few other games.

I bought it as I play both cod and rocket league in highly competitive matches. Let’s start with the pro’s – the weight of this thing is just right, not to light it moves when you pull triggers but no so heavy you want to put it down after a couple of hours.

– it looks very nice, great sleek look with slim RGB’s – the main buttons (lettered) are a real pleasure to press, clicky and snappy makes it really reactive, hair triggered too so you won’t need to slam your thumb down, just a quick tap and you got it, but strong enough so you don’t accidentally jump in the middle of sneaking.

– the thumb sticks are brilliant, they’re really nice and smooth on rotation but strong on the centre so when you let go they snap back into place, no concern of drifting here, you also get the choice of short sticks or long sticks (preference on aiming in FPS) and they can be changed in an instant due to magnets.

– the triggers are what I fell in love with, on rocket league I can use the full 100% trigger pull and control my speed, then by switching to a 25% pull I can change it to a mouse click for games like call of duty.

This is a HUGE bonus for me as it makes firing a gun that much quicker. – wired, I personally love a wired controller, no worries about lag, drop out, batteries and the cable is a hard standing braided USB C high speed cable.

-the paddles. Now, another main reason why I bought this was because of the paddles. Having a jump button, a rotate or whatever I want on the back means so much. This means my thumbs stay on the thumb sticks.

I never have to stop aiming to reload or bounce around a corner or use boost. This is huge!!! I personally don’t mind that they’re upright paddles (this means they don’t go off to the side but they more face directly down) and they stand off the controller meaning I can rest my fingers on them easily, however.

My hands are the size of a meteors so others may be put off by this. Now let’s talk about where it dropped the points. – Software, the PC software is… ok. Nothing amazing but not something that’s impossible to use.

It’s easy to adjust and create profiles but what would be amazing would be if it had some sort of sharing profiles so that I can upload a profile to the world, or simply download one. – this one is small but it matters to me, the start and select button are in really weird places, offset at a diagonal angle meaning your thumbs have to learn a new location for something they’ve become Used to over years, causing you to occasionally look down meaning you’re not in the game.

– no carry case, this might not seem huge especially if you’re like me and don’t take your controllers out much. But it means I have no where proper to store the additional thumb sticks. Sure I can buy a case but that’s another £25.

I haven’t used the headphone slot due to my headphones being plugged into a rig, but from what I can see it’s a solid 10/10, you can control chat volume compared to game volume and overall volume but pressing a couple of buttons.

That’s huge and I would 100% use it if I had too. Overall I would 100% recommend this product giving it an easy 9/10. I’ve used the Xbox elite controller and these two controllers are very close but I much prefer this one purely due to the build quality and overall feel.

This controller works with current Xbox Consoles and Windows PCs. The App is the same for both platforms available through the Microsoft Store. It allows a lot of control over the Chroma lighting on the controller.

The app allows customization of the extra triggers and buttons, allowing customization of the controls outside of a game’s own button customization options. The dedicated Audio config button, below the SHARE button, allows on the fly mixing of the levels of both in game volume and chat volumes, individually.

I like the feel of the controller, the thing that took the most to get use to was the position of the menu buttons to the left and right of the home button. I love the hair trigger slider for both main trigger buttons, helps with some control schemes in games.

I was initially skeptical that the magnetic thumbstick hats would be secure enough, but they have never accidentally came off. The ability to switch to a taller hat on one thumbstick is nice, that and being able to switch one thumbstick between concave and convex on a controller is nice.

I keep the nice box the controller came in, partially to keep the not in use Hats in a safe place. The main X, Y, B, A button press feeling is different from standard xbox controllers, has a bit more resistance and a click, with a more solid feeling.

The D-pad is more precise and clicky than a standard controller, also with a tiny bit more resistance, not as much as the difference in the X, Y, B, A buttons, but noticeable. The controller is of course corded only with no batteries or wireless ability.

The cord is of a good length and is USB C on the controller and USB A on the other end. All in All, this is a very nice configureable controller with very nice lighting option to match up with the rest of your LED light setup on Xbox and PC.

I would recommend whole heartedly.

The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 feels a lot better than the included controller in the Series X/S and seems more like a true “next gen” controller. I primarily use the Xbox Elite 2 for PC gaming.

On Steam when connecting via Bluetooth the controller has worked flawlessly except with Batman: Arkham Knight which required telling the game it was a 360 controller with custom mappings. Surprisingly with Xbox PC game pass I ran into many more issues when connecting via Bluetooth, I found connecting via the included USB-C cable works better for game pass games, otherwise on BT I run into issues where some of the buttons aren’t mapped properly and even when manually mapping them they don’t respond correctly or at all.

Being Xbox’s flagship controller, I would think it would run seamlessly on Xbox game pass. The experience may be better on consoles but this controller is billed as an Xbox/PC controller and should work well on both.

Other than those issues, which largely are corrected by connecting via USB-C, I like the controller quite a bit. The rumble feature feels much more natural than the included Xbox Series X controllers, which felt to me like technology from 10+ years ago with very basic and clunky vibration feedback, lightweight and a need for AA batteries, especially when compared with the all mighty PS DualSense.

The Elite 2 controller has a nice weight to it, the thumb sticks feel solid, snappy and respond nicely. I haven’t used the paddles much but I like that they are included and could see them being useful for many games.

The grips feel good as well and make the controller sit securely in your hands during gaming sessions. The controller also feels more balanced than the X/S. This controller comes with a quality, corded 9′ USB to USB-C cable as well as a rugged case that doubles as a charging station.

Within the case it also includes a tool to adjust the thumb sticks as well as an alternate D-pad. Overall this is a large improvement over the included X/S controllers, and some of its PC compatibility issues which are a bit frustrating can largely be overcome by tethering with USB-C.

I have played XBOX since the very first iteration of the console. And throughout those years I have gone through quite a few controllers. I have mostly stuck to Microsoft controllers in doing so. I finally caved and forked over the money for the most seemingly premium controller available in the Elite Series 2.

This controller has all he features possible to make your gaming experience as quality and fun as possible. Adjustable triggers, remappable buttons, a seamless integration and connection to your XBOX by way of the accessories application on your desk top, a rechargeable battery pack built in that gives you hours of gameplay before needing another charge (think I have played something like 10 hours before charging it), it comes with a carrying case that houses the controller and a bunch of extra addons like alternative thumbsticks and paddles to add to the controller for any player’s comfort or preference, and it even utilizes USB-C.

Now, with all that being said, this controller, with it’s vast price point and immense amount of features STILL suffers from Microsoft’s inability to consistently show that it can produce good build quality in its controllers.

In a few moths the right trigger began to creak a bit, and had a problem where it would stick. This is apparently a common issue with the glue that they use to supply a padding to the trigger so that when you push it in it doesn’t have plastic hitting plastic.

The only fix is spraying a bunch of alcohol into it and jabbing it with a Q-tip until the glue becomes less sticky and it stops sticking. Recently, the left bumper started becoming unresponsive. I could hit the side of the controller on a hard surface a bit and it would briefly fix the problem, which would return after a few minutes.

Other issues such as pushing the trigger down to fire in an FPS game, but then if you are pushing the trigger feverishly in an intense moment the melee button (most commonly the right thumbstick click which I had remapped to a paddle) would initiate and I would throw a melee for no reason, and of course probably lose the fire fight with my opponent.

The controller began to become more of a liability than an enhancement to my gaming experience. And for the amount of money it costs, that is ridiculous. Microsoft truly needs to figure out why their controllers are always such poor quality, especially one that costs half of what a whole console would be to purchase.

After using one of these controllers for about the last 6 months, I still can’t understand its high praise from community. I feel obliged to share my experience. Features: The paddles sound nice on paper but not all users will find them useful.

Certain grip styles will notice they just get in the way. After playing on standard controllers for so long without paddles/buttons on the back side, I’ve found it difficult to adapt to them and play most games with the paddles removed.

The customizable joysticks are a neat idea, though being held by magnetism, they tend to shift around resulting in a springy feel. I notice this in game but also a lot while navigating menus. If I press down on the joystick and then simply let go, the action results in a down then up instead of just a down.

The springy feel can be slightly reduced by adjusting the joystick tension but I have found that tension setting resets itself over time during use. Also, the joysticks have a grindy feel when pressed down and rotating, something I don’t experience with standard controllers.

The trigger locks are fine, though depending on your grip style, they can accidently shift settings during use. Build Quality: Now build quality is something I expected the Elite would exceed in over the standard controllers but has not been the case.

The Elite controller can split open from drops as low as two feet onto a throw rug. Unlike the standard controllers that have removable grip panels and the two main halves screwed together, the Elite is simply two halves snapped together by small clips.

If you are strong enough, you can literally split one of these open in your hands. A standard controller can absorb drops 10x better than the Elite. If considering an Elite controller, I’d highly recommend purchasing the accidental damage coverage because if you drop your controller once and a tab snaps off, it won’t seal right and would require a replacement.

Also, as of last week, my Elite controller developed stick drift in the left joystick which leads me to believe that the joystick rocker modules are no better quality than the ones used in the standard controllers.

Value: Considering all my experiences mentioned above make this controller a terrible value. You are essentially spending $120 more over a standard controller for the addition of paddles, adjustable thumb sticks, trigger stops and a fancy case with charging station.

Again, the features are poorly implemented and the overall quality of the controller is worse than a standard controller. I personally would not recommend this controller to anyone who is expecting a significant upgrade from a standard controller.

There are plenty of cheap aftermarket add-ons out there, that can essentially get a standard controller the features the Elite has. Elite is all hype.

The DPad has been a staple of Nintendo’s for a while now,and this controller really embraces the legacy. It pairs easily, and is very responsive. The build quality is excellent, and you’ll be glad to learn that it has concave and convex buttons just like the original SNES controller.

Only issue I’d have is the manufacturer warranty and support, but the controller itself is stable and very high quality. I would recommend purchasing protection just in case, however. Comes with USB-C and is compatible with everything through wire and Bluetooth.

The grip may feel weird to some, but for kids who grew up with the dogbone it’s easy to use, and for someone like me who didn’t grow up with the odd shape i found adapting to it very easy as well, definitely better than adapting to a wiimote, joycon, or even a mobile phone.

All in all, it’s a very quality controller and I would recommend at it’s price point for anyone who plays 2D games that utilize the Dpad, or anyone who enjoys the PlayStation stick symmetry. Not the best for games that require more precise 3D inputs like shooters, as the analog sticks are only slightly larger than those on the joycons, but if you’re on the market and play a lot of SNES games or fighters, it’s definitely a good controller to have.

Portability is a plus too, as it’s tiny size makes it the perfect on the go controller.

This is a really good gamepad. It has a lot of features that you might not expect and different ways to connect it to your computer. I haven’t tried connecting with my phone yet. It has a LOT of buttons, and that’s definitely useful in games with more buttons The buttons feel nice and are responsive My only issue is that sometimes using the D-Pad, it thinks I pushed down when I didn’t.

This is rare and I haven’t noticed the issue in too many situations, but it’s an issue they should definitely fix I also haven’t been able to figure out how to enable the turbo button function yet I’d buy it again.

I don’t own an Xbox, but I do play PC games from Steam on a Windows 10 PC from time to time. I’m not really a dedicated gamer, so I pretty much need a console style controller. Fortunately, Microsoft makes their Xbox controllers compatible with Windows 10.

I purchased this new model primarily because the older version I had with a micro-USB connection was unreliable – coming loose at inopportune times and finicky when plugging in. That was the only flaw of the previous model, but it was worth an upgrade for me.

Other noticeable differences are the textured grips (slight if unnecessary improvement), a newly styled D-pad (I find no difference), slightly different contour on the top (cosmetic only), and a Share button.

As far as I can tell the Share button serves no purpose for Windows 10 (it appears to be an Xbox feature only, at least for now). I had questions upon ordering this updated controller; after a few hours of play, here are the answers: Yes, this controller is compatible with the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10 and all of its features.

Yes, the original Xbox One Play and Charge Kit works with this newer model controller, as do the cheaper 3rd party alternatives. The micro-USB cable that originally came with these kits will not be compatible, so useany USB-C cable you have.

There does not appear to be an available USB-C cable that has a charge indicating light to work with these play & charge kits. Yes, there is a way to determine the controller’s battery level when using on a PC.

With the controller connected to the PC, open the Xbox Accessories app/program (free from the Microsoft store) and find the battery level there. It must be connected wirelessly to read the battery level; it will just say “Plugged in” if using the cable.

Yes, all previous peripherals (except for micro-USB cables) seem to work perfectly with this new controller. And finally, yes, the USB-C connection is wonderful. It’s easy to connect, stable, and responsive.

I like the fact that there is no indicator LED as I often play in the dark.

To start off, this controller is beautiful, and a little hard to find. I already have the phantom white version and love it. My issue is to do with Walmart/GPD and the way this product was marketed as “New.

” This controller came to me in a brown box, wrapped in (big) bubble wrap. No original box, so my best guess is this is technically “open box” or previously bought and returned/rejected. It came with a few minor scuffs, and some of the pieces/panels don’t line up quite right, but these are minor issues with the controller that may adjust with use.

I specifically paid more to avoid the used/opened, but that’s what I got anyways. This price should be marked down. If I was gonna end up with a brown box, I probably would’ve ordered it elsewhere.

I really like the look and feel of this controller. Especially for playing the retro SNES and NES games on Nintendo switch online. My only complaint about this control is that it has an old USB plug.

I wish it had usb C. I like to plug in my controls directly to my switch to play in table top mode and I have to carry an adapter to plug this directly to my switch. It’ll connect to the dock but I don’t use it for that.

Other than that, this control feels great. The joysticks feel like PlayStation joysticks, the dpad is very nice and responsive and so are the buttons. All in all, I think this control is an excellent value.

If you want a wired control at a great price than I recommend this to you.

I wanted something simple, something i could take home and use right of the box. Something that felt comfortable in my hands, something I could use for a variety of games and I wanted something that will last.

The Stratus Duo is all of that and more. I honestly did not even need to read the instructions. I simply unboxed and powered on and it was ready to play. This controller fits snug in my hands,, not to small not too big.

I wear size L/XL gloves so if you have smaller hands this might or might not be the right fit for you. This controller is solid, I have dropped it a few times and no issues. Grabbed it with food on my hands and wiped it off with a damp clothe.

No issues. Range is great. I play up to 20 feet away from my screen and pc and no connectivity issues. I absolutely love this controller and you might just too.

I have had this controller for a while. It is a very good controller and the build qualilty is nice. I have recently started to notice a little bit of a stick drift but I have also had the controller for about a year or 2 now and from what I understand these things are common with any controller.

It does not have any vibration support so if that is something you desire I would recommend looking elsewhere. The battery life is stellar and there is zero lag when playing games (typical for SS). I personally like the layout where the 2 sticks are side-by-side it mimics the PS and switch controllers better.

It does have both USB and BT compatibility which is nice if you plan to swap between PC and phone.

I purchased this controller last night. From the get go I was a bit skeptical about it. but ended up purchasing it anyways. So I go home, open the box, plug in the adapter, pair everything. Everything is going great, smashing goals in Rocket Leage and all of sudden.

“Controller Disconnected” Okay. no problem, could be that it needed to charge. Nope. Problem continues to happen. I rock out with it for the night. Wake up and go to play some other games with it. The thing won’t even turn on at this point, so I plugged it in.

Nothing. Even plugged in my broken Xbox one Controller to see if it was the cable. That one works. Didn’t drop the Controller or anything like that. Guess it decided to go out with an early retirement.

ended up returning and bought another Xbox Controller. Problem solved. Maybe I have s*** for luck but to have this many problems with a brand new controller is not right.

As someone coming from the Elite Series 2 controller I can firmly say that the Instinct Pro is definitely my controller of choice for a variety of reasons. Scuf has definitely focused on those small details here that allows the Instinct Pro to set itself at the top of the mountain for gaming controllers.

Firstly, right out of the box you can tell that it is a premium controller as the build quality is exceptional. The most noticeable aspect when it comes to feel is the textured rubber grip as it is not simply just a subtle rubber, but is noticeable to the point you can actually feel the difference.

The weight of the controller is also noticeable as it is lighter than it`s key competitor. Another element that sets Scuf apart is the customizability of the controller as you can do more than simply swap the sticks as the controller faceplate is removable and thus you can constantly be changing your faceplate designs and colors so that you are not just boxed into one design forever.

This is not just a gimmicky design with cheap faceplates as Scuf definitely is ensuring superior build quality and usability as I did not feel as though the faceplates were just a cheap afterthought.

So now that I`ve discussed the superior feel and design I will say that the usability is just as strong. I first have to say how much I like the style of mapping the buttons here as there is no digital interface or app as it is all simply done by pressing buttons on the controller in the appropriate sequence which I will say is extremely quick and simple to which the three profiles makes switching settings between game genres effortless.

Moving on to actually playing with the controller there are two facets that set this controller apart. The first are the paddles to which I absolutely love the design that Scuf has elected to go with here as it takes a couple days to get used to, but it is so easy to use as it is just one paddle on each side that you rock your finger on instead of two separate paddles on each side.

Then secondly are the instant triggers as Scuf advertises depressing the triggers similar to a mouse click when you toggle this setting on to which I couldn`t agree more and definitely gives you that slight advantage in FPS games.

All in all, I really think Scuf has checked all the boxes with this controller as they have been in this marketplace for so long that they have thought of everything with this controller from the comfort and customizability of the controller to the actual usability.

Being a Scuf product I have no hesitation with the quality of product which can`t be said for the Elite Series 2 with its multitude of build quality issues. I would not hesitate recommending this controller to anyone looking to upgrade from the base Xbox controller as this controller really has all the bells and whistles you could ask for.

This is a 5* pro controller for sure. I play a fighting game called brawlhalla on it and let me tell you what. Switching from elite 2 this is a huge upgrade. The is absolutely no delay , lightning fast response.

Allows me to jump faster, fall quicker , hit faster. Virtually no delay it’s amazing it’s like going from 30fps , to 120fps it’s that noticable. Yes it’s wired but that’s what you want in pro controller honestly.

I’m a few hours into it and it’s a learning curve Because it makes stuff so responsive that if you played with wireless controller you are a bit slow and didn’t even know. But the curve is done and now I have a huge advantage because of this.

So I personally love this controller and there’s so many little features I didn’t mention, rgb light, back paddle, and a extra trigger button beside left bumper and right it’s amazing highly recommend.

I hope it last a long time.

I’ll try and focus this review on the things I think are useful that people want to know. I’ve had the controller about 1 week, and used it for a good several hrs each day. I don’t play competitive and don’t thrash the controller around.

Been playing twin stick with reasonable amount of trigger usage, and some coverage of all other buttons including the infamous Y button. So far I have had no issues, no double clicks, or missed clicks etc.

Both sticks are perfectly tracking as shown in the xbox accessories software. And the response curve on the triggers is also as it should be. The trigger adjustments work as expected and feel solid, but by the same token I wouldn’t be too rough with them when shortened.

The stick tension provides three settings, standard, firm, and extra firm. This worked fine for me, but I’ll be sticking with standard. Accessories: I love the convenience of the charging stand and case it comes with The different stick options are a plus and easy to swap, but I will probably just use the default ones.

The faceted (default) dpad has a nice action, but for me the + dpad is the better choice and has a decisive response! The paddles work fine, easy to remove if desired, I do use them with a couple of remappings (view and left bumper in my case).

IMO, the new white elite 2 controller could have at least been a consideration if it had the + dpad and the paddles. Software/Other: I use the controller on PC coupled with the wireless adapter (got mine from Noel Leeming) The XBox accessories app works as expected and allows me to setup the profiles.

You can remap all functionality on the controller, but only to existing actions the controller supports. SO. – No keyboard mappings – Doesn’t allow a mapping for the “Share” button found on newer xbox controllers.

I think (hope) both those shortfalls will be resolved in a future firmware update, it sounds like keyboard mappings was possible on older firmware! (Steam cannot get around the keyboard mapping issue at least not on the paddles, reWASD might be able to??).

My current firmware is 5. 13. 3146. 0 Quality concerns: There is a lot of discussion about maybe QC issues with the controller, it almost put me off getting one. So far I have not encountered any issues, and for a premium product you would expect not to! What helped me buy one was to research the issues people had with other controllers and brands to get a sense of how often people have issues with controllers in general.

But ymmv. For people in NZ some peace of mind may be gained from reading the consumer guarantees act, and understanding what the rules of it are, I would expect MS/MA to be complaint with the act without too much fuss, but know your rights.

That also helped me to have some confidence that if there were issues I could elevate the concern and not simply be fobbed off with a refurb or whatever. With all of this said – I’ve only had it a week to replace my older xbox one gen 3 controller that was kaput.

If I remember I will try and update/re-review this in a year and or if I encounter issues before then. But otherwise I am glad I got one, and on sale too :).

The controller is lightweight but it doesn’t feel cheaply made either. It worked out of the box with all the games I have tested it yet. I’m not a fan of battery powered devices so this controller is ideal as it still comes with a cable (as opposed to the more recent F710), which at the length of 6 feet, is a pretty reasonable length for a PC controller.

The only complaint I have is that I would have liked the overall controller to be a little smaller as I feel like it stretches my hands when playing games that require the use of the trigger buttons and joysticks at the same time.

Although as I rarely play on Playstation and XBox, I can’t really say if the size is comparable to their controllers or if my hands are just smaller than average. If I compare it to my old Wingman Rumblepad, they are almost the exact same size.

So take this complaint with a grain of salt. As it is the case for pretty much everything I have bought from Logitech throughout the years, it seems like a quality product that will last many years. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one if this one breaks for some reason.

Works pretty decent for my PC games. The gamepad’s look is dated but it still looks brand new from its package. The buttons work well, and the joysticks are stable. The D-pad is also decent, although it kinda wiggles.

Not a big fan of the LB & RB buttons being lower than the XYAB buttons compared to the other PC controllers I bought this year. The triggers feel dated but it does get the job done when I’m racing. The Mode button is a bit too close to the D-pad and joysticks and it can be easily pressed by accident.

The package this gamepad comes with is a pain in the butt and takes longer to *carefully* open than my other PC controllers and its straightforward boxes. Overall, I recommend getting this gamepad when it’s on sale, like Cyber Monday, because it’s frankly an older controller, much older than my main PC/Xbox One controllers.

It can be a backup controller for PC gamers like me.

my initial reaction on holding this controller was: huh, seems a little light, even for a wired controller (probably due to a lack of rumble features). but after using it for a couple of weeks, i can say it is a very good deal.

solid construction, and the buttons are very responsive. the abxy markings are, unlike most controllers, not painted on or recessed into the surface of the buttons, but molded into the inside of the translucent surfaces, so they won’t be rubbing off or filling up with finger crud.

the sticks travel smoothly and easily, but center strongly. though the stick clicks seem a little too stiff, this ensures fewer accidental clicks during intense play. for retro gamers, the xinput/directinput switch on the back is a godsend.

finally, the d-pad is the most comfortable and responsive i have ever used, hands down. in fact, the only thing bad i have to say about it is the position of the mode button. it is a feature which baffles me, as it swaps the mapping of the d-pad and left stick on the fly, but i’m sure someone would have a use for it.

unfortunately, it’s position under the back button makes it far too easy to hit by accident, and i feel it would have been far better situated centered underneath the logitech button. in sum, it doesn’t look super sleek sitting on your entertainment center or coffee table, and it doesn’t have the heft of most controllers, but it’s a great product at an even better price.

I prefer the Xbox One controller to my Series X controllers, and the PUBG controller is one of the scared few with textured trigger grips,, which I wanted. This controller was sold to “as is”, and it certainly wasn’t perfect.

The “A” button felt mushy, so I had to take the whole controller apart to replace the internal membrane. From the outside, the controller looked grungier than any of my own which I could not tell from the pictures, and when I took it apart, the controller was absolutely disgusting.

The previous owner did not care for the controller very well, and appears to have had a pet of some kind based on all of the hair that I found. After a lot of q-tips, rubbing alcohol, and some care, it is probably in the best shape in years.

The PUBG controller is excellent, even if I don’t particularly care for its color scheme.

This is a great mouse with almost perfect weight. The white version looks amazing. Mine had a small defect with one the feet being slightly off center which made the mouse feel a little scratchy when sliding it around the mouse.

I was easily able to fix this myself by repositioning it so I will not take a star off because otherwise I absolutely love this product. Having said that, such QC issues should not happen with a $150 mouse.

I originally purchased the black version, but was not happy with the left click. Mine was heavy and had a totally different feel compared to the right, with a dull sounding click. I learned that this is a common problem with the Viper Ultimate, but in late 2020 Razer upgraded their switches to “Gen 2” in the Viper lineup.

There are still plenty of older versions floating around with the “GEN 1” switches. My previous black one was one of them and it that one was baaaad. That one was immediately returned. ALL colored versions of this mouse (White, Pink, Cyberpunk) all debuted with GEN 2 switches so if you want Gen2s, then buying a colored version is the only sure way to get one.

The black version has since been upgraded as well, but a lot of sellers are still selling old stock (which happened to me) so its a gamble to get Gen 2s. Overall, this is my favorite mouse I’ve ever owned.

I’m coming from a Dethadder V2 and this is miles better for me due to its smaller size. I have medium sized hands (but on the smaller end of that) and the hump of the dethadder was just too tall for me.

My aim improved quickly with this mouse. I use palm grip and find it very comfortable. And honestly wired mice just cant compare to wireless when the latency with today’s technology is non-existent. I got mine on sale for $100 (with charging dock) and at that awesome price its totally worth the upgrade.

Personally, I would wait for a sale before purchasing one of these because $150 is too much for a mouse in my opinion, but if you want the best, GET IT.

Great mouse with a solid ambidextrous feel. The wireless dock is very convenient, and it works well. Battery is good. It lasts about a couple days with RGB on. Clicks are very good, better than GProWireless, G305, and Aerox 3.

It has also been the most stable mouse out of all of them. It has had less hiccups and micro stutters with no disconnects so far. It has programmable side buttons on both sides. Solid feel, lightweight, stock feet are also good.

Software sucks as it stores data. It also sometimes does not recognize the dock so the dock reverts back to the stock Razer green light. Only time will tell with durability. So far, it is my favorite mouse.

Avid fps gamer here and play a ton of online competitive games like Valorant. This mouse is almost perfect. I still think the logitech superlight is better mostly because it is way lighter. This mouse has a lower profile and easier to fingertip grip.

The weight is noticeable. You can get used to it but even the regular wired viper is lighter. The regular wired viper feels perfect. Only recommend this mouse if you really need wireless. Pros- Best click latency in the market, your shots will hit faster with their V2 optical switches that will never doubleclick unlike superlight.

Focus+ sensor – 2nd best sensor on market- logitech’s hero sensor still marginally beats it (CPI variation). Docking station is great. Better skates than wired version and superlight. Cons- Noticeably heavier than superlight and wired viper.

Post travel- has a little bit of post travel- nothing too major but the wired version of the viper has 0 post travel. Software doesn’t let you save onboard rgb profiles, forced to run synapse in background.

Conclusion The 2nd best wireless mouse on the market. I don’t think this mouse is worth $150. If you really want it, I’d wait for a sale or get the wired version. The wired version only has a 5g sensor and rtings.

com did say it had some overshooting issues when slow flicking, but I honestly couldn’t tell a difference. My scores in aimlabs were about the same. Anyways I returned this viper ultimate and keeping the quartz wired version.

Weight/Clicks just feels better.

I originally bought this controller as a gift for my brother. He loved it (still does) and it started helping him get better. I then had to get one for myself, and I began feeling a difference in my gameplay as well.

It feels great in your hands, bigger than the standard xbox controller, but that doesn’t mean you need big hands to use it; my hands are very average sized. I play 2-3 nights a week regularly, and a lot more over the summer, with a year passed, i still have not experienced any issues in the slightest.

The cord is long, feels durable, and literally has never once tangled for me. The buttons are very clicky (idk how else to say it) and responsive. And if I did begin to experience drift stick (which I have not after a year) then I can simply replace the analog sticks in seconds.

It’s simply amazing. I recommend it to anyone who plays regularly. I could ramble on for a while about how much I like this controller.
