Hello everyone it's SpawnPoiint and welcome back to another video and today we're taking a look at
this new controller so this is the SCUF Instinct Pro controller it's got remappable paddles instant
triggers removable faceplates and three different profiles but do you really need a pro controller
like this and what are the advantages so i'll do a quick unboxing we'll set it up and i'll show
you what new features this controller comes with and whether it's worth picking one up
and this is it this is the Instinct Pro controller for the xbox series x and s but it will also work
on the xbox one pc mac android and ios but let's get this opened up and see what it comes with
so in the box there's the new controller which looks really nice i've gone for this still grey
and black theme no surprises here then there's the accessories box which comes with a spare set of
thumb sticks and a usb type-c cable and there's also the manual too but that's it that's all it
comes with so even though there are 45 different colors to choose from i've opted for you could
argue the most boring combination so i've gone for still grey with a black detail first impressions
though this looks and feels really nice i love the matte finish to it and i think the color combo
that i've gone for works really well so there's the SCUF branding on the front and then you've
got the Instinct branding on the side of the controller it's really subtle which i quite like
the only other difference looking at the front of the controller is you've got the mute button at
the bottom which only works on wired headsets and there's a very small little led at the bottom too
now this little led actually indicates which of the three profiles you're currently using
the triggers on the top are very similar looking with some very small texture changes but overall
it looks the same and feels really firm so these actually weigh 280 grams versus 287
grams on the standard xbox controller but there are a load of options available when
it comes to customizing the look of these controllers and what's great is there are
no tools required at all when making it up so as mentioned the face plates have more than 45
different colors and designs to choose from so if you're not interested in the plain coloring
that i've gone for well you can choose any of these instead then there's the option to change
the center and the sync buttons the bumpers on the top the thumb sticks rings d-pad and the a b
x and y buttons so pretty much any combination you can think of so we know the front of the
controller looks very similar but around the back is where you'll really notice the big changes
and as this is the pro version it comes with a high performance grip and as you can see it's got
a rubber and textured design it definitely feels like it would do a better job of preventing slips
there are also some new buttons here that will completely transform the way you play games
so first we've got these four rear paddles now these paddles can actually be remapped
to any other button on the controller up to 16 different functions this will allow you to save
time from moving your finger from the thumb stick and pressing a different button instead
then there's the instant trigger switch and this for me is a game changer so when you normally
press the triggers on top for example shooting in warzone the trigger has a lot of travel
well now if you flick this switch on the side it will turn those triggers into an instant trigger
now you're getting the same result in terms of shooting but a much faster response
it's almost as good as a mouse this alone will make a huge difference in any online matches
the little button below the battery cover is a profile button now this will actually let you
set up to three different profiles which means you can have a different profile for different games
remapping the rear panels is really really easy you just start by tapping the profile button on
the rear to cycle through the different profiles available so i'll start with the blue one here
next you just need to press and hold the profile button until it starts to flash now you can
actually remap any paddle by pressing the paddle that you want to use along with the other button
at the same time so if i wanted a to be the left paddle i would just press and hold that paddle
with the a button and it will automatically assign it to that paddle now once all of the paddles are
mapped and you're happy with that layout just tap that profile button again and it will save
and stop flashing if you want to remove a mapped button from a paddle all you need to do is map
that button to the share button and it will then actually inactivate that paddle the only buttons
the paddle can not be mapped against are the xbox button the share button and the lt and rt triggers
and as you can set different profiles up we can have a different color for each game that you play
if you want to change the thumbsticks faceplate d-pad or anti-friction rings you can do this
really easily simply remove that face plate just by pulling the top part here and as it's magnetic
there's only a little resistance once off you can actually see the controller underneath you
can change the thumb sticks just by pulling them firmly and they will pop off then once
you're ready to or if you've got a different pair of thumb sticks you can just push those back on
swapping the d-pad is actually even easier as it's magnetic you just lift it away and you can
just replace it there are also some anti-friction rings on the front of the faceplate and if you
want to swap those out to a different color for example you can just push those out from behind
and swap those to a different color and what's great about this is once you've actually bought
the controller where you can change the look and feel of that controller just by changing
the accessories so you could have a whole new look and feel just by changing that face plate or
changing the thumbsticks you don't need an entire new controller i've mentioned this one is the pro
version but there is also a non-pro model too the only difference between the two is the high
performance grip on the back and the trigger stops everything else is exactly the same so if you're
wanting those two features you would definitely want to go for the pro model to get the controller
set up for the first time simply connect that usbc cable into the console and into the controller
once it's connected it will automatically pair for both wired and wireless gaming and that's it
there's nothing else to install and you're good to go you might be wondering what the warranty
is like on one of these controllers we'll SCUF themselves off a six months warranty now for
me that's not actually enough i mean i've never broken a controller in all those years of gaming
i've never broken one but it's still peace of mind knowing that most things i own come with a one or
two year warranty so six months seems pretty short for such an expensive item i've only been using
this controller for the last three or four days but so far it's awesome now this is my first ever
SCUF controller so i've got nothing to compare it to other than normal controllers but these paddles
and the instant triggers really are a game changer for me if you like the idea of custom paddles or
these rear triggers for fps gaming i would highly recommend picking one up so as this
new SCUF Instinct Pro controller is primarily for the xbox series x and s i'm really hoping
we see a playstation 5 version soon i really want these instant triggers on my dual sense how about
you will you be picking up this instant controller or are you hoping to see a playstation 5 version
in the future well that was a quick look at the new Instinct Pro controller i hope you liked it
