SCUF Gaming, a leader in high-performance gaming controllers, has released the Xbox SCUF Instinct and Instinct Pro, their first wireless controller designed particularly for the Xbox Series X|S.

SCUF Instinct

SCUF Instinct includes all of the features games have come to expect from SCUF, with an all-new controller design to improve performance for Xbox fans. Both Instinct and Instinct Pro include four embedded back control paddles, which can be programmed to replicate the ABXY buttons. Their refined ergonomic shape enables better control for a wide variety of hand sizes, with millions of customization options to suit all gamers including interchangeable faceplates, thumbsticks, and D-pads.

SCUF Instinct Pro

The SCUF Instinct Pro includes everything from the Instinct model, with the addition of new adjustable Instant Triggers, providing pro gamers the ability to choose between regular or instant-action at just the flick of a switch. Instant Triggers allow users to cut out the trigger pull completely by activating with a one-tap motion, akin to a mouse click.

“With SCUF Instinct, gamers have a new advantage when playing on Xbox Series X|S. We’ve refined the way we deliver SCUF performance controllers, with a new form-factor that will appeal to an even wider range of gamers and hand sizes. Four Embedded Back Paddles, Instant Triggers, and a new thumbstick design combine to make our most reactive controller to date. Xbox fans are at the core of SCUF’s history, and we’re proud to have created a controller that both pays homage to that legacy and equips gamers for exciting new games on the newest console generation.”
