This Scuf controller looks even cooler than Microsoft’s Elite and is $84 off


I’m rarely a sucker for camouflage print anything, but put it on a game controller and turn it black-and-white, and suddenly, it warms my heart — especially if it’s a solid deal. That’s just the case with this custom Scuf Instinct Pro controller in a black tiger camo finish, which is on a clearance sale at Best Buy for $155.99 ($84 off).

The Instinct Pro is an excellent step-up controller over the standard Xbox gamepad, as it’s nearly the same great controller with some nice upgrades. It supports the wireless connectivity built into Xbox Series X / S consoles and of course can be used on PC — just like the stock controller — but it also features four rear paddle buttons built into the chassis of the gamepad and lockouts for the shoulder buttons that give them a mouse-click hair trigger feel.

What you’re not getting with the Scuf is Hall effect sticks, so it’s possible the right or left analog stick may drift over time after many hours of use, but it’s frankly the same risk you run with Microsoft’s similarly priced Elite Series 2 controller. There have been more drift-proof controllers slowly cropping up over time from third parties, but outside of a few exceptions, most are wired only.
