It can also be connected to the PC via an Xbox wireless dongle and last but not least you can also connect the Instinct Pro via Bluetooth. Incidentally, the controller has a Type-C connection, so you can easily use longer cables from third-party manufacturers. It can also be used on the PC (or the console) with the included two-meter USB cable. On the Xbox consoles, it works flawlessly via Xbox Wireless. That would be the ultimate luxury but would justify the hefty price a little more. On the other hand, it is surprising that, despite the high price, there is not an Xbox app for more in-depth function settings such as trigger travel, stick reaction, or even button assignments. Nice: there is even a guide for a number of games and genres on the SCUF website regarding the configuration of sticks and buttons, which is definitely worth reading. We still like the Razer Wolverine's clicky-sensitive buttons best here, but that's a bit of a matter of taste. The only thing we weren't 100% happy with was the action buttons. It is generally pleasing that all buttons, triggers, and sticks react very precisely and precisely. However, there is no multi-stage solution like the Victrix Gambit mentioned. In short mode, the trigger paths are so short that they almost achieve the haptic feedback of mouse clicks. The latter will especially delight shooter and action fans. We also discover two toggle switches for switching the trigger paths in two stages (long and short). However, the assignments can also be freely configured and stored in the profiles using keyboard combinations. By default, these are BYXA, B Left Right A, and Left Right Up Down. The four additional keys have three different assignment patterns that can be changed using the profile selector switch on the bottom. Clearly solved better than, for example, with the highly sensitive Victrix Gambit.
All four keys have a fairly crisp pressure point, which is still easy to use but prevents the keys from being pressed accidentally. There we first find four additional keys, the arrangement of which is simply a dream and corresponds exactly to the position of the middle finger. It goes past the jack connection and chats pad connection to the bottom of the controller. Easily accessible at the top, slightly lower between the D-Pad and the right stick. First, we discover a microphone mute button, which of course only works with wired 3.5 mm jack headsets. The arrangement of the standard buttons also corresponds to the Xbox original, but you quickly discover a few extras. The well-formed handles are extremely safe to hold thanks to the textured rubber coating. The battery/rechargeable battery compartment also has a magnetic attachment. The faceplate, which is secured with a magnet, has a pleasantly silky surface and can be removed with one hand, for example, to replace sticks or a D-Pad.
The design and ergonomics essentially correspond to the original controller, so there is largely no need to get used to it. However, you have to admit when unpacking that SCUF delivers a high-quality controller with the Instinct Pro. The less pretty counterpart, the Xbox Elite Controller 2, can still be had for less than 150 euros with a similar range of functions. You then have a quasi-one-off for individualists, but ultimately you can't do more with it than control video games. If you use all the options, you will quickly land well over 300 euros. Every pattern and almost every color selection drives the price up further. The configurations are not included in the already exorbitant price of 219.99 euros. However, the first disillusionment comes quickly.
Sticks of various lengths and with concave or convex surfaces are also available. Visually, in particular, there are tons of options, including quite a few faceplates with different colors and patterns, along with color choices for pretty much everything from the D-Pad to the triggers and shoulder buttons. Is it at least worth it?Ī first look at the SCUF store makes it clear: if you order a controller here, you can more or less put together a unique piece. The basic model already costs 219.99 euros and each adjustment causes a hefty surcharge. With the SCUF Instinct Pro, there is now a wireless alternative with enormously extensive configuration options in the store - at least visually. So the elite controller from Microsoft was the most common alternative if you wanted to keep some luxury in your paws. There are now plenty of custom controllers for the consoles, but many of them are wired.
