Scuf Envision Pro: PC Gaming Controller Deep Dive

Summary

This scuff envision pro controller redefines PC gaming with its innovative features, even introducing a new product line for scuff. Unboxing reveals a premium package, including two extra thumbsticks and a USB C to C cable with an adapter. Unlike traditional PlayStation controllers, the envision pro features an Xbox-style button layout, deemed more intuitive for PC gaming due to Microsoft's ownership of both Windows and Xbox. A key innovation is the profile button, allowing gamers to save custom button configurations for different games. The controller also boasts five additional G-buttons at the bottom, programmable for various functions like volume control or launching applications, essentially acting as a mini Stream Deck. The rear of the controller houses four paddle buttons, praised for their ergonomic placement and tactile click, similar to a mouse click. It offers both wired and wireless connectivity via a dongle, and includes integrated trigger stops with a switch for adjustable travel distance, a significant advantage for first-person shooter fans. The controller allows for customization of thumbstick height and the removal of side buttons, which the reviewer found unnecessary for their playstyle. Priced at two hundred dollars for the pro version, it's more affordable than the scuff reflex at two hundred fifty dollars, and the instinct pro at two hundred twenty dollars, making the envision pro the clear winner in terms of value for PC gamers.
