Adds a competitive edge with non-slip performance grip and instant triggers that switch from regular to a mouse-like click at the flip of a switch.
Remappable Paddles
Engineered from the ground up for the fastest response times ever, the redesigned paddles are positioned ergonomically for a natural feel and optimum performance. Assign actions by remapping them to any of the four rear paddles to keep your thumbs on the sticks for faster reactions and gameplay.
Instant Triggers
Flip the switches and your triggers will go from a smooth full-pull to a short mouse-click action. This hyper fast, limited motion is perfect for your favorite shooter games and getting those quick reaction shots off faster. Available only on Instinct Pro.
Performance Grip
Contoured for comfort and grip right where you need it. Tailored to Instinct’s ergonomic design, the grip changes heights to provide you with the ultimate non-slip feel for extended game play. Available only on Instinct Pro.
Interchangeable Thumbsticks
Made for better performance and increased comfort, our improved textured thumbsticks improve grip, precision, and accuracy. Short and concave to dig in and make quick moves. Tall and domed for a longer throw and more precision. Choose the perfect combo built for you and the games you love.
Removeable Faceplate
Quickly swap out your thumbsticks, or change your controller’s look in just seconds. The magnetized faceplate provides effortless controller configuration and customization.
The Instinct is SCUF's greatest controller yet
There have been no better-than-basic wireless game controllers designed specifically for the Xbox Series X or Series S — until now.
They each come packaged in a patterned black box that feels more appropriate to jewelry than gamer gear.
The Instinct is one of the best third-party controllers I've ever used
In game's where even the finest margin can decide whether you win or lose, the Scuf Instinct and Scuf Instinct Pro will certainly appeal to those who want every edge they can get
Moving forward, I see [The Scuf Instinct] as the Pro controller that I now default to
The best alt-controller we've ever tested
