Scuf Reflex Pro Review-Overpriced, Waitlisted, and Completely Amazing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- 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.
Cant** which is dumb for that expensive of a controller!!!! The paddles actually suck after a while
This intro is hilarious
Hi, I have a question. Is this a modded dualsense or this is a third party controller? I mean how the pc will recognize it as? I once bought a third party PS4 controller called Astro C30, and the pc will only recognize it as a Xbox controller. Some games can detect if you are using a ps controller and automatically show ps button layout, but if it's not a ps controller, it will only show Xbox layout. This happens to my Astro C40 and it is pretty annoying.
So I want to ask what kind of controller is it before I buy.
@@immytea6478 it's a original dualsense so the ps5 will recognize it and I use it on pc just fine as well 😉
dude came here for a scuf remote left in love with your computer case wtf is that??????
No lie this channel is majorly underrated af
Thank you
for sure
No seriously
No cap
I just discovered it. Was thinking the exact same thing
**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.
This video made my day so much better. I was having a crappy day until that intro 🤣 Ty
That actually means a lot to me, I’m glad to hear that!
My mom had to use her other kind of belt to belt me after I took out here batteries for the... haptic feedback stick
Excellent review, covered all of my questions and concerns and it’s now on order.
so how is the controller ? i was thinking about buying one because I'm tired of buying ps5 controllers call of duty ruins the L3
I'm amazed how you made a controller review so funny. Keep up your videos man, people love 'em!
That intro just made my day this video is fantastic
For that wonderfully,professional review, you’ve earned my sub!
I found this channel while looking for scuff pro Xbox controllers and here I am. Watching everything you post on controllers because of the quality and intrigue.
Your now my number 1 channel to come for reviews, informative, to the point and damn funny 🤣
Thanks mark , I’ll keep the videos coming 🙂
Top tier quality video. I only meant to watch 2-3 minutes but I kept going.
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.
I'm surprised I just found out about this channel now ! Congrats from Italy!
Listen man, you're dead tone voice is hilarious. Your intro and midpoint dead man explanation voice earned you a sub bro. Never stop doing that LOL! Also, great descriptive content!
First vid of yours I’ve seen and I gotta say I’m happy I found it! Good info with a lil comedy mixed in makes for a great energy. You definitely earned my sub 🤙
just ordered one of these today had to watch a review, glad i watched yours. funny man :)
Dude ur hair was dope in the beginning face cam, great review good time to release it, now I just gotta wait on restock email, since I found ur Channel I’ve bought an instinct and now the ps5 reflex when it’s back in stock. Keep up the great work legend ❤️
bruh I LOVE your channel, keep up the amazing work! I was waiting for this video
Thanks Greg
Love the comedy bro great channel. Expected 500k subs, keep at it you’ll easy hit that. Awesome reviews!
Thank you, I appreciate the support , I’ll keep the videos flowing
By far the most funny reviews i have seen. Keep up the great content then You Will definatly grow big ☺️
Thank you Kent , i appreciate that man
For real, I love the old school start of this video. Doing a Joe Friday intro like that old Dragnet tv series.
This is the most retentive video I’ve ever seen in my life nevertheless a controller video lol. Bravo you’ve gained a sub
Hi gamer sorry if I missed it but did you ever do your tier list for controllers? I haven’t been able to find it. Curious to see how this reflex has stacked up over a year. I prefer the paddles over the buttons on battlebeaver etc
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
This is so helpful, now I know which one to to get. Reflex Pro covers all my gaming needs.
They’re out of them right now
The stick sound you were talking about at 12:41 happens on regular dualsense controllers too. Mine does it.
Love the commentary with the unboxing
Thanks man, i just hit record and it all just flopped out of my mouth
I paid $173 for my Aimcontrollers... completely custom with remappable paddles. Only option I didn't do was the changing the shoulder buttons to quick triggers because I wanted the adaptive functionality. My build was $229, but they pretty much always have a $50-70 off sale.
Hows the controller, quality and the service/delivery? ^^
@@LyserOwn I've had no problems with it... I received it just inside of their advertised delivery window... said 6 weeks at that time, took a little over 5 to get it
@@LyserOwn I'd recommend ordering a couple of extra thumb pads... I wore the rubber down on my left stick. It just pops right off and back on to change it.
@@0351marinemike whats the stick tension like after you've us3d it for a while? I got a ps5 about 4 month ago and i cant stand the duel sense the one you get with the console. It hurts my hands after playing it for a while
Also , i play qpex and it just feels weird compared to the ps4. Stick tension feels stiff as hell still
What a solid review! Subbed 👌
I’m new to the channel and I’m loving it already 💯
Just picked one up at best buy only because I bought a new gaming laptop that didn't work so I returned it and it happened to be on sale so I had enough to pick one up so fingers crossed but it looks like a great control, great video like always bro!
I found your channel because I was looking for reviews for the Scuf Reflex fps after ordering it. After watching this video and majority of your other controller videos I also decided to get a Hex Rival controller. They're both expected to arrive sometime in the next few weeks can't wait to try them out.
@Black Debiase Ent I use both controllers for different games. For any FPS gameplay I use the SCUF, anything else I use the Hex controller.
@@YOZORA-nj3xt bro for the scuf how long did it take from you placed an order? Was it customized? Thanks
I am subscribing just because of that intro. Fantastic!
How do the paddles feel and how easy are they to push when you have your pointer on the bumpers, middle finger on the triggers, and ring fingers on the paddles?
I feel like most controllers are designed to have your pointer finger on the triggers but that's not me. I play Rocket League with a Scuf Impact and the long paddles are the best placement I've found so far, even though they wear out every few months.
Love your stuff bro! Crack me up every time with your dialogue😂 Great reviews brother🤙🏻
Thank you Jacob I really appreciate that!
Btw I think your choice will be the reflex
@@jakeshepherd5699 Which one is better Hexgaming or Scuf pro for the PS5
so in depth thank you!!!!
I’ve just started watching recently and you’re hilarious. I watched ur reviews on the instinct pro and reflex pro but I am stuck on which one to buy for my PC. Any help? Thanks.
Managed to get one today after missing out twice on the drops before. This review was really good.
Same here, I wanted to get the FPS one but it was out of stock. Then I managed to get the Pro.
Bull i never got an email saying they restocked today
@@ISRL380 they restocked on the 23rd only a short amount and mines arriving tomorrow
This was entertaining and informative. Take my sub!
Best tech channel on youtube with a sense of humor unbeatable 🤪
I was wating for your review! We bought ours in the same drop, Ive had my black reflect pro for a week and I love it over Extreme Rates back buttons, I play with the Kontrol Freaks Galaxy edition on them for even better comfort. Im sure you already like it more than that Hex too.
I might slap some control freaks on there too for the hell of it, yes I like it more than the hex controller, I will say I do like cosmetically how the hex controller looks but the one that I have is literally specked out with every option under the sun and is pretty expensive
Your controller costs after all upgrades probobly more than Xbox series x
@@firstbreath1371 Lol, that would be wild. maybe the Series S
Hey great video really like it gave me a lot of info. But what software program did you use to test your deadzone? Can I use reWASD to overclock?
best explanation for me. ordered
Bro I love the content but which is the daily for ps5 or what u like the best…much appreciated
Love the sense of humor 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️ great video
subscribed to you because of this video good stuff brother !
best start to a video i have ever seen thats one way to keep a high audience retention
Thank you
@@GamerHeavenOfficial omggg i got a reply from you thank yiu sm ☺️💕
Great review 👌👌👌
Dude the intro to this is gold! 😂😂😂
Great review!
Is there going to be a 3 month update? I wanna see how well the grips held up
I’m a new subscriber. What is the mm of the smart triggers on scuff fps controllers?
Too all curious. Relfex base ps5 controller just came out yesterday. You can add instant triggers and the controller grips. Therefore nomatter what, there sorta all the same. I bought the base relfex and fully customized it and I bought the back up pack that Includes extra charger and multiple joysticks. It was 300$in total
Simply the best video on TH-cam right now 🤣
Haha best intro ever 👍😁
I'm so glad you mentioned the click/notch in the stick when breaking away from, and returning to center. That is something that has really bugged me with the Dualsense. I own a fair amount of controllers (15+) and so far the Dualsense and the Elite S2 are the only controllers affected by this kind of issue. Out of the five Dualsenses I've had, three of them have had the click/notch in at least one stick. I returned the two that had it the worst and 2/3 of the ones I have now are replacements.
The worst part is on the Dualsense I can actually feel a sort of slight tactile bump as the click happens, so it's not just a sound. I really hope Sony acknowledges this and fixes it soon, even the base Dualsense is pretty expensive for a standard controller.
I also have this problem with my controller and it was more of a tactile bump like you said but after using it for a while it seems to have gone away for now. But still I hope newer ones don't have this issue
@@zora_tech Yeah I hope so too. I think whether it does get fixed or not will come down to if ALPS revises the module or if Sony changes to a different part #. A while back there were a few DS5 controllers popping up with the old DS4 analog modules (orange) in them, I don't know what was up with that but all of mine have had the green ones so far.
just get the dual sense edge. remember it’s still sony ctrler they just modified it and they will get bad with in 3. months
I’d like to know what are your thought on the paint used, does it seems durable? Is it the same used from the xbox’s scuf or ps4? For example my friend scuf infinity 4ps white paint turned yellow after about 6 month, have you ever experienced that? If it’s the same used I might go with a safer full black to avoid visible faded paint.
Still heavelly using to this day my basic scuf ps4 form 2016 😅
Also can you use multiple inputs at once with the back buttons? Slide jumping in apex for example if I have crouch and jump on both paddles.
dude the intro was 10/10
Will you do an update on the controller? Curious about the longevity
Hello great vid
Do scuf have ps5 turbo button options?
Which controller if they do please?
Did you ever make a video on which controller you liked more? Out of the HexGaming and Scuff?
Hey brother love all the videos you make and are informative and very entertaining with that being said I was wondering since you have so many controllers and review so many products is there a good stand for the Scuf reflex??
Thanks buddy . Yea here you go: amzn.to/3l11Qkh
Is there’s a difference in thumb stick size for ps5 and Xbox? Or can you interchange them to see if it fits
I'd really like to know after alot of use on the pro if the rubber grip on the thumb stick and controller back starts pealing like my Scuff vantage 2 did and pissed me off so unbelievably much
I bought the aim controller that ships in 24hrs Listed at 350+ and I gotta say it’s worth it. I wasn’t really big into paddles and more of a button guy due to battle beaver. And I gotta say they are worth it, only if you can afford it. It’s close to a year on the life span on the controller and no flaws what so ever. But I also do take care of my controller, with putting it in a case and covering it with micro fiber cloths when not in use. Will be checking out this scuf controller, but atm I’m more into the AIM controllers than battle beaver and scuf
Thank you for sharing your experience with the aim controller, did you use my discount code? I hope you did because 10% of 350 is a good chunk of change
I bought the aim when ps5 first came out ....just know the reflex pro is the best controller ive wvwr touched...i am in awe of the rubber grip
Love my AIM Controllers. I don’t understand the need to have to reach the back paddle. I play Warzone and the fact that I don’t have to move my finger or hand placement is a game changer. Had my PS5 Aim Controller for a year now and now issues. Scored a second one during Xmas sale $100 off. Well worth it imo
@@bloodymuggles362 do you like having no rumbles ?
@gamer heaven
How is the grip on the ps5 reflex fps now?
I got the impact pro, wasn't expecting the grip review to go that way but hoping it keeps up, good so fAR
have you done a review on ‘HYPR’ controllers? been seeing them recently
What would you choose king sir a reflex pro or dual sense edge. I got a edge and am thinking I might get a reflex note that coral is running things qc will most likely get way better especially with corsairs track record in the pc community
Amazing intro 11/10
Good review
I just subscribed, my question is what scuf controller will be compatible for my Alienware 3070 with windows 11 playing cod warzone br, or do you recommend something else, also I think I would like a wired controller. Thanks
Bro that intro !
Which one do you prefer more aim controller, scuf or hexgaming controllers? I’ve been trying to decide which one to get.
Does gaming via the scuf’s bluetooth connection have a lot more latency on pc than plugged in? Is it published anywhere? Cheers !
Battle beaver does offer quick pick options btw. I got a pro pick pre built all black controller from them. They offer basic pick with just 2 rear buttons, and pro pick with back buttons and digital smart trigger/bumpers. Scuff is to overpriced imo but they do look good and comfortable with the grip.
Sick video good edits. Maybe slightly slow down tho please homie. Hard to keep up.
W INTRO THO
Greaattt controlller!! Nice vid;)
U might of mentioned this I'm sorry if you did but can assign a shift button like the Xbox elite series 2? I love my elite and I want a controller that I can set up similar for my ps5. I like having a shift button it's a pretty nice function.
Can you toggle between standard and instant triggers?
BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS BUT MAN WITH THIS INTRO I HAD TO SUBSCRIBE LMAO
can you please go more in depth to what tyhe MS resonse time of each controller is out the box, and can they be overclocked? if so then how? i have the xbox version of the scuff instinct pro but im being told that only ps4-ps5 controlers can be overclocked? is this true?
That into is definitely sub worthy heck even the bell 🛎 needs to be turned on now
Which controller do you see better this edge, or some other of the brand aimcontroller, scuff reflex, competicontroler or some other brand of controller with levers, it would be for shooting games

love this channel
how long does the rubber grips on the controller last does it get sticky already after a few years
?
Are any of those 3 compatible on Xbox? In days time my Xbox will be connected to a monitor and I've been looking long and hard for a 4 paddle controller with a decent lifespan but haven't had any luck
is the D-Pad in one piece like on Dualsense or 4 sepparate direction buttons?
You like the hex gaming cosmetic design more but when comes too the competitive gaming you prefer the reflex adjustable hair triggers and better back paddles and haptic feedback
Perhaps… Or maybe I like the scuf reflex more altogether
So what controller fits best for you hexgaming or reflex fps?
For retail in Norway, companies are legally obligated to provide repairs/ replacements to consumer electronics for 2/5 years depending on how long it's expected to last (probably 2 years for controllers, and 5 years for washing machines/ fridges). Consumer protection laws are amazing.
Yes. The US has recently adopted a similar law for cell phone batteries. I believe this will carry into other electronics.
Best intro
question, do you have to plug this reflex controller into the pc tower to play call of duty or could this be played in bluetooth mode? im currently in that situation now of having to plug it in the tower.
Do the scuf reflex and instinct use the same analog sticks. Say I was to get a reflex, but I wanted a long conclaves analog stick so I bought the instinct thumb stick pack. Would I be able to install the analog sticks on the reflex. I don’t really know if that whole marketing of “specially made for the reflex/instinct” is true bc they look very similar.
The reflex pro on scufs website says that it has adaptive triggers just like the original controller but in your review you said it doesn’t. Did they come out with a new one since this review or is their website lying?
What paddles are easier to press the Xbox scuff pro of the ps5 really curious ? And for me with bigger and longer hands would a ps5 controller be better for me than a Xbox one ? Please answer been trying to figure it out
Can we get an update on this beauty?
I just bought a Reflex pro but I also have two custom PS5 Aim Controllers. Both were around $250 or less, so paying over $300 for an Aim Controller is crazy. They are great controllers by the way.
Howd you buy one it says they’re out of them on scuff
@@ISRL380 sign up for their email notifications and they'll email you right before they have another drop. Click on the link, and when the sale starts it'll put you in a queue that shows how much time you have left in line, then you'll be able to buy one if they're not sold out yet.
@@ISRL380 also, use a laptop bcs I clinked the link on my phone then a couple of min later I also used my laptop, and my laptop had a way lesser wait time than my phone did for whatever reason.
lmfaoooo amazing bro ..informative and comedic 🔥
