Scuf has the biggest problems with stick drift, beacuse of their socalled "Fricton Rings" that actually shreds the outer sides of the stick and that dust falls on the sensors... Talking from my own experience!
Aleš Zupanc damn, that makes sense. Happy I haven’t dropped the hammer on one.
This comment needs to pinned to the top! 💯
I got 3 scuffs in 1 year, now battlebeaver way WAY BETTeR
F scuff
mine cost 378$CA and i cant run on shooting games, basicaly the L3 dont work
I had a friend who sucked at cod, bought a scuf..and still sucks
MrZablon
They just have a problem with game sense then
"Had" why ?😂
@@Aleskoo100 lol we're still cool, just don't play cod anymore
Maybe he should have gotten a scuf controller instead of a scuff controller and he would be better.
Aleš Zupanc hahahaha
Just subscribed. I’ve been watching for awhile but I just realized that you keep it real and give true honest opinions. I’ve had my c40 controller and I’ve never had one issue with going on 2 years. I did however purchase another one because I gave my old one to my nephew
I've had my scuff impact for coming on two years now and I feel blessed to be the only person to not experience any major issues with my controller. I've ordered a new one with the digital tap triggers and i hope I haven't made a mistake in doing so.
How is it? Did you make a mistake or are you still enjoying it?
Damn mind blown 🤯 hopfully the build quality will be better
Yeah, I have one Impact for about year now. What a terrible quality. Don't get me wrong, it is responsive, which is useless since it is already falling apart. Bad bad bad materials. ...and it cost me more than the PS4 console.
x3mSK do you think the ps5 will also prompt them to improve?
@@Tstinzy Sony will be introducing their very own and redesigned Dualshock for PS5 (which looks promising as of this moment), no need for them to get involved with third parties. It will be entirely up to CORSAIR to pick up the pace and push the boundaries (and hopefully introducing USB-C and better quality materials for their Scuf controllers). I switched to Nacon Ultimate recently. Still getting used to it but as far as the quality of the materials goes I am happy. ...and it was half the price.
I was wondering why I saw a scuf controller in a Corsair ad
The EatenDisc
I got a scuff ad
You earned yourself a sub! I have been looking to buy one but your honest review made me more excited for the 'updated' controllers. great video!
Initially, when my scuf controller arrived it took a month at least it wouldn't even turn o , I sent it back and a month later it came back finally working, 2 years later the scuf 4ps infinity pro honestly feels brand new whenever I use it however I recently changed the analogue sticks for better performance , analogue drift can easily be fixed as you can take out the joystick and clean it, the quality control isn't the best but I have had reall good experiences with my scuf
Ya i did the whole compressed air and clean and my infinity ps4 pro still drifted like mad man sending back as its still in warranty but the cleanin and changing sticks didnt help anything.
Bought a scuff because all my favorite commentators had one or were sponsored it didn’t last me 3 months . Bought a battle beaver after seeing your reviews and haven’t looked back since had it for 6 months now still works perfect .
Robe Pineda how long did it take for them to ship it to you?
Scuffs customer service is the biggest reason why I'll never buy one again.
Robe Pineda had my scuf for three years, still works perfectly
I had bought Beaver custom only lasted about 3 months before the right stick got a drift and left trigger started to not work properly.
@@Platanopower200 dont buy it bcz ps5 is coming out and they'll have a controller with the paddles
Please start reviewing more Keyboards ... Like a lot. You’re still one of the best reviewers in general.
Thanks fam I try 😄
AIR BEAR Happy I can rely on you for all my tech.
AIR BEAR Think you could do Headset reviews too? I’d love to have honest reviews and mostly every youtuber are just making unboxing videos which doesnt help me at all..
Man u deserve so many more subs,
Keep up the good work.
I heard of Battle Beaver on reddit and found your channel because of it. Needless to say I am a sub now and plan buying a Battle Beaver control and maybe a Scuf if Corsair can turn their build quality around. Keep up the great work
OK but how has your channel not even reached 100k?! You’re youtube is amazing your reviews are informative and more importantly HONEST. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for providing no bs reviews and to everyone in the comment section. I was legit about to buy a Scuf controller and then I stumbled upon everyone's complaints and your videos. I will be getting a Battle Beavers controller (and Nacon V2 in the future) instead of Scuf. Thank you everyone!
I’ve had my scuf impact for about a year and a half now and it still works fine to this day. I did buy extra thumb sticks because they do wear quickly but I have no other issues which makes me proud to buy a scuf controller
I’ve had 3 scufs and they’ve all broken in a year. The left analogs always fail. Just ordered a cinch gaming. Excited for them.
You know the old saying, Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me and you went for a 3rd.
You bought 3 of them so you must be an idiot!
+1
LeBeautiful maybe a little bit I got the money to spare.
@@Alred9925 lol good comeback 😎
Here's my experience with Scuf controllers: Timeline is important.
December 2019: First off, I was encouraged to buy one because my friend got one back in 2015 and it still works just fine. Aside from slight stick drift. I borrowed said controller for couple of days to try it out before committing to the $200+ investment. It was great.
December 12, 2019: I placed my order for a Scuf Infinity 4PS Pro.
January 2nd, 2020: - I received it 3 weeks later. It worked phenomenally for exactly ONE week. I opened the box on a Thursday afternoon, and the following Thursday the following happened:
January 9th, 2020: First, the left paddle stopped responding and with it was the front button as well. I was mid-game and lost the (X) function completely. Managed to quit the game and turn off the controller. When I turned it back on the only functioning buttons were the OPTIONS/SHARE. I contacted Scuf, they took back the controller, fixed it and sent it back. This process took 3 weeks.
February 5th, 2020: I received back the controller
March 2020: This time the right paddle starts malfunctioning, it would click but no input registers most of the time. This didn’t bother me much to send it back again. I was frustrated, but at least it was working if I press hard enough.
The left paddle been working fine but it wasn’t clicking, just a touch would suffice.
April 22, 2020: ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE:
The right paddle is completely out of order, and with it the face button.
The left paddle was registering input while I’m only holding the controller. Any pressure on it and it registers (X).
Even when I completely removed both paddles, pressing the thumbsticks (L3/R3) would activate the actuators on the back.
Eventually, it happened again, the only functioning buttons I have now are Home, OPTIONS and SHARE.
April 24, 2020: I contacted Scuf, they’re currently not accepting repair requests due to the COVID-19 situation.
Moral of the story: If you’re ever thinking about getting a Scuf controller, just DON’T.
*NOTE: I think the older models were better; My friend’s controller had different paddles, with screws.
Great channel/content btw, keep it goin.
Stay safe yall.
the problem with the infinity is a square little plate that can shift inside the controller, ive opened it and it doesnt sit flush on a cutout so tbh even if shaking the controller eventually itll fall outta place but the impact is way way more durable from my experience and i got 2 impacts, my infinitys left paddle went to junk in 1 month
Your March update is where my controller is personally I've had mine for a while since August 3rd of last year and had problems with in 2 months a personally like the scuff but it really ticks me off when it doesn't work i could make a very long list of issues but I have to ask is it common for the paddles to just fuck up out of nowhere
Edit: I have the scuff impact dont know if that changes anything
Trust me, the older Scuf controllers aren’t any better! I bought the original Scuf 4PS in Stealth Black back in 2016. The one that you could option with the OEM PS4 thumbsticks, without the rings to remove the thumbsticks, and the paddles with the screws you’re talking about. To begin with, the paddles snapped in half about 4 or 5 times throughout these past 3 years since I didn’t start using the controller until November 2017 when Call of Duty WWII released. After all those times of replacing the paddles the holes where the screws go in started widening which led to the screws not even being able to screw in and hold the paddles anymore. I just gave up and started playing without them. The buttons at the bottom still work, but I have to press them with my actual finger. Just recently my right thumbstick started drifting. On top of that Scuf has the audacity to put a security screw so you won’t be able to open the controller. Which by the way I managed to do! I propped up open the controller a few weeks back to see if I could put components of the DualShock 4 V2 CUH-ZCT2 since that controller has the option to be wired when connected to USB for better response time and has the blue LED bar on the touchpad. But, I couldn’t manage to do it since both controllers are built different internally. I was on the verge of buying a Vantage 2 last week. But, didn’t pull the trigger since the PS4’s is at the end of its life cycle, there is no point of buying a DualShock 4 anymore. Point is that they have terrible build quality! I like how the controllers have a softshell touch to them and how you can configure them with colored buttons. But, with the build quality they provide, it isn’t worth it. Hopefully Corsair can get on their asses and make them build better controllers!
Bought mine two years ago and have thrown it hundreds of time and it still works fin
If you play on xbox just get the Elite 2. Take it from my personal experience after receiving my scuf prestige it only took one month until I realized the HORRIBLE build quality and my friend that ordered a scuf impact for ps4 that was sent back right away and came back completely worse and not functioning at all. So after wasting 250$ just one month it took for me to just get what my gut told me to get. Dont let the “scuf hype” fool ya lol and save your money
My personal experience: I bought my scuf infinity pro controller back in july 2017, I use it 2 hours daily on average. My controller is still working fine with no issues, I just had to replace the sticks which lasted for about two years. I guess im lucky
Not sure if its cause hes sponsored by battle beaver or not but I hear problems with every controller ofc you will hear probs about scuf more cus it's the most sold elite controller. But I agree the standard should be higher as always.
I have had about 6 scuffs and none of them have had any problems the one I use now I have had for 4 or 5 years no problem. The others I broke from throwing lol
I think the quality control is just bad, so some are up to standards and some aren't. I've had 2 that broke within a month. Never dropped them or broke any other controller
@@Mercuryalreadytaken I've got a scuf infinity that still good after 6 years so I believe you , but my impact is brand new and in the first 3 months it started drifting on the right analog. I took off the rings and it's good now
You speak for the elite controller community so well! Thanks for what you do boss!
I’ve had the scuff impact for about a year and zero issues, I love it! But wish they would add stick tension as an option. Thank you for your reviews as I stayed away from the vantage and got the impact.
I just love the PC in the back round behind you, awesome and the colors
Love this vid. Most channels rarely focus on lifespan with is the most important thing!!!
Informative and well spoken youtuber you’ve got a sub my man :)
Great video :) i had a scuf vantage, it lasted for about 1 month before the left stick died. Then i had a razer raju v1, that one lastet for about half a year. Right now i‘m on a stock ps4 controller with the fps strike pack attached, since thats the most reasonable prized thing for me. I‘m excited to see your first corsair-scuf review to see if things are changing in the controller world. Wish everyone a good day and a long lasting controller :D
Noti Gang! Stay safe out there fam! Much more to come 😏
Noti GAAAAANGGGGG😤💯🔥
My mic jack broke on the scuff so now I can’t talk and have to switch between a DualShock and my scuf
Yooo whats sup air bear i remember when u use to play fortnite and the channel was air bear gaming. Its insane how far u came over the years ❤😁
I bought my scuf way back in 2014 with the scuf pro. I’ve been using it ever since. The first problem occurred a year and a half after I got the controller. The micro USB port not longer worked. No problem for me I just bought a charger that charges it by the rear of the controller. The next problem that occurred was stuck drift about a year ago. The reason I like my scuf is because of the feel of the paddles. The reason I don’t like my scuf, unreliable.
I NEED HELP!
So I bought a scuf controller 2 years ago and it still works, however the amount of drift I have is insanely bad and my triggers have become way to sensitive due to it being broken. I play games like call of duty and Shooter games. And with ps5 soon coming up I was thinking of also buying a new pro controller, my first thought was scuf since I've already bought one and I'm moderately happy with it. But also because I don't trust other brands that aren't as well knowed. So my question is what controller should I buy to play shooter games on playstation
I’ve had my scuf impact for 6 months now and it works great. That’s my experience.
infamous RED sameeeeep
I have a scuf impact for 1.5 years and it still works great
My impact worked great for a few months then my L2 button broke kinda. The button itself is still there but if i use my back paddles, it makes my L2 button spam uncontrollably. So my L2 is basically broken, but other than that it's by far my favorite controller.
My left paddle on my 4ps pro stopped responding after a few months, bought myself an Xbox elite and it’s been fine for a year
Yeah I’ve had mine for over 2 years now and I only needed new joysticks
I've watched your review and bought my battle beaver controller had it for a year and it still works great highly recommend their company great quality products
Great video as always! 🪐
I’ve had 3 with in 2 years. I’ve tried others but never can quite get use to the feel of them. Scuf definitely need to up their build quality!!
This could change EVERYTHING!
On a serious note, I hope they improve their shipping and accessibility in Mexico
bro just buy a battle beaver or evil controller. Wayyyy better and cheaper too
Diego Castañeda whats better on that controller from the scuf
@@marvinta6443 just watch the air bear his yt videos and you'll see whats better on a battlebeaver
@@diegocastaneda8225 evil sint cheaper but has great quality
got a scuf infinity 4ps pro for christmas in 2018 used it for a year never had a problem. Got a scuf impact for christmas 2019 and so far have not had any problems with either controller. amazing experience.
just bought a battle beaver! can't wait for it to come. keep it up stay true 👍
So corsair bought scuff, this means one thing...
The next controller will have RGB
Yesssss
lol
With a $60 rgb controller lol
Oh shit yeah
Oooh and maybe official PS controller support on pc (or at least iCue support haha)
I reckon by end of this year and next year scufs manufacturing and way the controllers are made will be improved. Since Corsair is known to make great products and they have awesome customer service. So the stick drift and other things will likely be addressed. Obviously their new products post Corsairs purchase won't be perfect but I reckon they'll be improved.
That’s basically the point of the video and what what air bear was saying🤦
I’m pretty sure Corsair is gonna make Scuf stop production on the DualShock 4 which the INFINITY 4PS PRO, IMPACT, and VANTAGE 2 are based on to create a plan on what they expect the build quality to be when the DualSense 5 releases.
And you’ll pay for it. Corsair will likely address the issues and raise the price. As most things they sell are grossly overpriced.
Air I totally agree with you on Battle Beaver Customs. I’ve used them since BO3. After burning through 2 Xbox Elite controllers I tried a battle and was so impressed that I bought 2 of my friends each one of there own. They are by far the best custom controller I feel on the market. I mean seriously if you go with a basic model simple hair trigger,adjustable thumb sticks,2 buttons on bottom,thumb stick tension, no remapping and you will spend about 200.00 buck 50 more than a Elite and it will last you way longer than any other controller, so great job on all your content you put out Air and keep up the good work.
I've had my scuf for about 4-5 months now and it still works absolutely perfect.
So my story with SCUF turned out to be far more positive than I ever expected:
I got into elite/custom controllers a few years ago through a company called TheControllerShop because I heard horrible things about SCUF over the years from media and personal friends so I steered clear, Battlebeaver was going to be my second option, Evil Controllerz I just didn't care for the price or the customization options, Aim was really small back then I believe so I didn't feel there was enough feedback to justify a purchase so I settled happily on TCS because I preferred (and still prefer) buttons over paddles and their customization was exactly what I was looking for from a plethora of paints, designs, they had actual hair triggers not some figity trigger "stops," solid magnetic interchangeable thumbsticks,decals, writings, accessories, customer service, etc. I ordered my controller which ended up being just below the 400$ mark before the discount/sale.
Got the controller from TCS and absolutely loved it. Used it months of 5-8 hour sessions on PS4 playing competitive Siege (Platinum/Diamond player) and everything was amazing. Had a couple issues with the charging cables and they sent me 3 replacements for free with no hassle within a week. The bad part started kicking in of the back buttons caving in. E-mailed TCS with proof, my data, and situation and they asked for it back to repair it no problem. Sent it in on their dime, got it repaired, it came back after a month longer than expected, and everything was fine until they caved in again. I had to repreat the process with no argument on their end, this time though, it was 8-10 months of back and forth e-mails of trying to get my controller back and it not being repaired because their parts weren't in, or their staff were being moved around or fired, or their patent/process changed, etc. etc. The woman I e-mailed the entire time finally said that the owner of the company was going to be repairing my controller and that it should be back within a couple weeks...Months passed with no replies of my constant increasingly worrying e-mails. I look around to find out others were in the same or worse boat (paying for the product, getting charged, and never receiving it). I finally find out that the company sadly went under and the owner just took people's money and bailed and left the website up and social media up and functioning enough to receive payments. Don't believe me, look up TheControllerShop on Facebook, their page and trails were still then when I checked up last August.
I was heartbroken and out 300+ on a controller I loved the design and functionality; shit I really miss my hair triggers. I was still playing Siege and itching for that extra precision and control I had so I looked around for a replacement after sucking up the loss and decided to give SCUF a chance after seeing their Vantage commercial and digging the design, changeable faceplate, side axle buttons, and seemingly stronger paddles. I ordered one and received it far earlier than expected the late August/early September of their launch year...yes that meant I dealt with the stick drift that honestly only cropped up after 3 months of grinding Dark Matter/Nuclears on Black Ops IV. E-mailed SCUF with my situation, proof, data, etc. and they took the controller in no problem, had it fixed (and by fixed I mean they literally sent me a brand new controller with a different serial number) and returned about a week later. Had the same issued this same after a month so we went through the routine and I waited patiently as I did the entire custom controller experience. Got the controller back about a couple weeks later within the same week they released their firmware update to eliminate stick drift and luckily my controller got it flashed onto it and still to this day and year I've had zero drift from my nearly 365 days of 5-8 hours sessions.
I had minor issues here and there of the thumbsticks wearing away two times, the original charging cable fraying on the inside, and the next one breaking and they've sent me *free* replacements every time and the women that helped me out were as pleasant, actually understanding, complient, and as human as can be surprisingly every time.
Do I believe the Vantage 1 is the best controller? Hell no.
Is it a damn solid one? Hell yes, and for a relatively fair pricepoint especially around predictable sales times.
Is SCUF a good company? In my experience yes on customer service and even honestly pricing as my Vantage I ended up paying only $210 I want to say after opting for a metallic red finish on the faceplate.
Do I miss or prefer my TCS controller? Yes and no, I still prefer back buttons, analog sticks next to each other instead of the XBOX layout, the true custom color, grip, username decal, and magnetic thumbsticks, and actual hair triggers that have next to no travel (sucks for racing games or vehicles), but I really enjoy the side axle buttons on the Vantage especially for BR's like Apex (Ranked Series 1 Diamond, Series 2 Pred', Series 3 Split 1 Masters) where I constantly press square for looting and reloading or using my abilities on the left side button (even though it's right next to L1 that travel time makes a difference and allows me to focus my finger soley on the ADS bumper), the paddles on the exterior (that I've had zero problems with, thought I'd break'em but they are solid) are easy to press for constant actions and the inside works better for less heavily used actions such as switching a weapon, the ergnomic shape is quite comfortable and sweat resistant, I really enjoy the design and feel of their SCUF thumbsticks (concave on left, convex on right at both normal heights) until they start to erode away from 3-4 months of heavy used, etc.
Things I would improve on the Vantage would be to ditch the trigger stops and go for adjustable trigger tension so allow for both actual hair triggers and the ability to still have travel for racing/vehicle games, put some slight rubber gripping on the removable R2/L2 buttons, use a sturdier material for the thumbsticks as it is relatively short timing to run through the rubber on the outer ring, and allow for color customization of all face buttons (share, start, d-pad, etc.) as that was the only driving thing that tempted me to want a Vantage 2 was the gray face buttons looked clean compared to the slate gray/silver they used standard on Vantage 1.
All in all from this long-a** ramble of my surprisingly positive story of SCUF, I really enjoy my Vantage and had no troubles that weren't rapidly and hassle-freely fixed within a week. I can't attest for any products pre-Vantage as personally they look too frankenstien-esqe for me and are pricey, but as for the Vantage it's a damn fine controller that has allowed me to get a constantly noticeable and smoother edge in Apex and Siege.
I only see better things to come once next gen' launches this year and Corsair/SCUF make a Vantage 3 for the Dualsense era of controllers.
Side-note: if anyone wants to discuss more or play Apex, etc. hit me up on Reddit at u/-BINK2014- or on PSN/Playstation at BINK2014 and I should be down.
Have a good day everyone! 🤙
I liked cause it took u a year lol
I was reading an entire essay
I’m submitting this for a humidities assignment
Thinking about getting a scuf and just wanted to ask, is the customer service still as good?
@@maximusattard6101 From my experience I would say so; as of lately I can't fully attest because I haven't had a need to contact them.
Honestly I’ve had my scuf for 5 months and hve had only 1 issue wth it, stick drift, but after watching some vids on how to fix it and why it happens my scuf works perfect, I own the vantage 2 and I love the thing to death. When I started seeing bad reviews after I bought my scuf I got scared but after using it almost everyday for 5-6 hour sessions I rlly hve nothing bad to say about it and don’t see the problems other people say they hve wth it, not saying that they’re wrong just I don’t experience those same problems. Thx for reading my comment😇✌🏾🎮
I was scared at first to
I've had my scuf infinity For about a year and a half. Not one issue. I love it. Do wish that I went with the impact, for more paddles. But at the time I had never had a elite controller and didn't want to over do it.
I’ve had my scuf for just over a year and it’s been fine, although I’m very particular about how much I use it because I’m afraid it’ll break. Really hope they make the product and warranty better.. nothing worse than getting a $200 controller to constantly be worried about if and when it’ll break.
I have a Astro c40 and it actually is awesome. I did however order battle beaver modules just in case
Ive had two and both have been very reliable only needing to send one out for fixing after a year. So far ive been happy with the products
BRUV! I ❤️ your channel, I’m sad it took me this long to find it 😩 these reviews would have saved me about $400 in bad purchases.
I've had my scuf going on 3 years now but it is starting to die on me
Itz a Wookiee that’s pretty good
My one is also 2 Years Old now and has No issues
You're a lucky guy
that’s good
Have had 5 Scuffs of my own. 3 Ps3's and 2 for PS4. Worst issue was my second Ps3 Scuff, simply had a tiny rattle inside it and after 2 years of non stop 10pm-7am gamimg sessions for almost a year straight the Triangle button got stuck. Out of 5 controllers and that being the most used I'm gonna back Scuf 100%. Must have just been lucky or something...
Battle Beaver! Enough said.
That being said, I'm looking forward to the future of Scuf. I really liked my Scuf....... While it was working
Do you use it for COD? On PC? What model and options do you have? Considering battle beaver
@@evanlitvak2234 cod and apex. 4 remappable rear buttons, extra tension in the right stick, I fitted my scuf thumb sticks in it. And just my colours or choice
I’ve had my Xbox One, Astro A40s, and whatever the scuff controller was called at the time since the beginning of Advanced Warfare. Years... and they’re all still rockin👍🏼
My scuf lasted three years and the B paddle just started to stick, but a year ago the grip came off of the left stick. But I just bought the Xbox elite controller 2 and I’m loving it way more then the scuf. The build quality is amazing, highly recommend.
I honestly can't wait for Corsair to upgrade the quality of Scuf. I love using the Impact, but in less than a month I had drift, sent it back, received it after 3 weeks, 3 weeks after that, the jump paddle stopped working properly, and now because of the Corona virus I have to wait until May to see if they're able to receive it for yet more repairs or return.
SilEn Monharck1 I sent my controller in about 3 weeks ago because my left paddle wasn’t working and I’m still waiting on it, hopefully it’s here soon
@@2dgalaxy they told me they had a limited amount of workers in the facility because of the Corona, and that they should be back to normal in May unless the governor's mandate changes, so we'll see, I hope so too, I need mine fixed and want to buy another one.
You’re gonna keep waiting! If you check their Twitter they’re getting spammed with people complaining how their orders won’t ship until June or July.
Mine lasted less then 90 days. Never dropped it once. It slowly started falling apart and then it stopped turning on. That was that for me and won’t ever buy a scuf again. Depends on what Corsair does with scuf because I use Corsair for pc gaming.
F
same had mine since christmas and it broke the other week and i never dropped it once
SniperMims did you insure it?
Friend of mine and I bought our scuffs at the same time his gave up after 2 months and I still have mine now for +5 years , guess I just got lucky
@@OgLuki HOLY . WTF
I have had a scuff xbox one controller for 5 years now. I have thrown it, bashed it against the table, dropped it many of times, and still works like a dream. Only maintenance I have had to do was replace the back paddles and hand grips from wear. Im not sure about the newer controllers, but my 2015 controller still works great
had my scuff controller for about 6 months until i lost the input in my right paddle, then i made the switch to battle beaver and i have had it for almost a year and it is by far the best, and the best bang for your buck elite controller i have had by far, highly recommend if you want a elite controller go for battle beaver over anything else.
I am actually in the minority when i say that ive had my Scuf Infinity for almost 3 years and i have had minimal problems with it. The button under the paddle sometimes gets dirty and unresponsive so i clean it with some alcohol every now and then and one of my paddles broke while i was taking the paddle off but thats all
I love how people dog on scuf because there controllers breaking, from my experience and have been a fan of their products for a while. I have had my scuf for 4 years and still going good, I also use Kontrol Freaks to keep my joysticks in tac and not rubbed off. I bought another scuf not to recently and its still going great. I will continue to buy their products especially for me its great for the competitive scene of COD. It works for me all the time never failed!
Krusteze- good to hear man! I just bought a scuf recently, hoping it holds out well and doesnt break, as yours seems to have. Thanks for the honest review!
RAPTOR _ how is it working for you now ?
Cam Dior yeah mate its going well, I love my scuf Impact! Had it for a bit under a month so cant really comment on the durability just yet, but is an awesome controller so far nevertheless!
RAPTOR _ hows it now? Might buy one but these breakdown reviews lose my hope for it
angxlz its going great man, I thought the same thing however I have had no problems whatsoever with my scuf and absolutely love it.
I’ve had my scuf for 2 and a half years and it still works pretty good
had my scuf for little over a year so far so good
I’ve got a scuff impact for 2 months now , nothing really broke but the paddles are hard to press , and the middle paddles are for me useless I can’t barely use them
i bought one and i had to return it cuz i could barely press the paddles it was ridiculous and very frustrating 😔
Have had my controller for just over a year and it’s broke 7 times most recently broke yesterday again :)
I’ve had a scuff impact for 3 years with zero problems and use it a ton. I swapped out the sticks when I wore one down a little.
My scuf infinity 4PS has lasted 3 or 5 years and it still works fine just a bit wear and tear and sometimes my buttons doesn't work like my L3 to crouch or to slide on cod.
I just ordered a scuf impact and im pretty excited how this one goes i got all the new accessories on it
Though build quality is important, having a product that last for several years will reduce sales and sales are high for Scuf due to the recognizable brand/name, that's why Corsair bought them. I don't claim to understand how the market and sales work but since controllers are one of the most beat to death electronics today they'll break down faster and that fact alone helps disguise the low quality of the product to the average consumer and so they keep coming back to that one brand that they're used to 😄
Probably you nailed with this! I agree totaly
"built to last" that's doesn't exist anymore. Your not a good customer unless your a repeat customer.
mighty mouse Designed obsolescence is in EVERY piece of electronic equipment you buy. How purposeful it is depends on the brand but it’s there nonetheless.
You’re*
@@noremac9742 correcting spelling in UA-cam comments, you must be bored. And "your" half wrong both are correct.
Hell, scuf doesnt even care about that anymore? Unless you're a well known pro player or high ranking youtuber, they will put you at the bottom of their priority list.....
@mighty mouse r/wooosh. Take a joke and move on.
Great video man love the honesty! Do you have a rough idea of when this change will effect the scuf controllers? I’m actually in the process of ordering one but this has made me consider waiting!
Have my scuf impact custom for around 8 months I play around 5-9 hours a day more on the weekends and it’s still going strong. I’m pretty happy with my decision.
My experience with scuf has been positive. Have had mine for 6 years played a ton and still no problems with it what so ever. I just make sure I take care of my purchase by not throwing it across the room when I don't win a game of COD 😂.
DBcooper 87 i did the exact same and I got stick drift within 2 months
Morgan J stick drift isnt hard to fix
@@goldtx5052 the point is that a $200+ controller shouldnt be having stick drift issues to begin with....especially ially after only a month or two. (Keep in mind they only give a 90 day warranty now on scufs?!)
I bought Battle Beaver replacement analog sticks for my Astro C40. They have held up much longer than a few sets of Astro OEM ones!
Domed sticks or the default
Alex Ouimet You utilize the OEM snap on buttons. The analog sticks are the replacements. I purchased the extra tension ones.
Alex Ouimet C40 tension modules. You can easily find them on their site.
You said you haven't reviewed the scuf prestige and I think you should! I just bought a new scuf as my last scuf was getting old. I had the scuf Xbox infinity it lasted 4 years. Now I have the prestige and I love it. The paddles and hair triggers are so much better than the previous xbox version
I had my scuf controller for about 4 years now and it still going strong
I didn’t see any reviews on the ps4 Razer raiju controllers on his chanel, anyone knows why ?
He wanted to do a review, but saw all the negative feedback from other reviewers and didn't want to waste 200 bucks on trying it out this late in the PS4 lifecycle when PS5 is right around the corner. Unless someone wants to send him a review copy, he's not gonna bother. He also plays exclusively on PC now, so mouse and keyboard just beat everything else hands down.
DAN JAMS Thanks for the info brother, I was really curious about that tbh.
@@francozanotti7204 Yeah dude, I wouldn't bother with the Raiju. The battle beaver is the best hands down. That's what Air bear recommends. It takes more time because you custom build it to your liking on their website, But it's well worth it. 9 out of 10 top console tournament players use battle beavers.
DAN JAMS Yea i might build one for myself this weekend, my old scuf is demolished at this point.
I've had two scufs, a 4ps (still going strong, have personally replaced the thumbs sticks twice as well as the left joystick module once, but it's 5 years old) and an impact (lasted 18 months) now completely unfixable as I've tried several replacement parts. Then I moved to nacon revolution unlimited. The nacon is still perfect a year later. I even modded it myself with custom trigger stops. But I have to say that I'm transitioning to PC this year instead of going next gen console, and I have recently got a xim apex based on your vids on it. I'm now training on keyboard and mouse while I save up for my pc build. And there is no question in my mind that as more people move to K&m on console we will see the demise of controllers all together for Fps gamers. K&m is just superior. As a controller lover its sad for me to admit, but it is just better.
i bought a scuf impact on christmas 2018 and it still working well today
I have had my scuf for about 5 months now and it has been working perfectly the entire time.
I had to have my scuf impact repaired twice in the first month, it still had the same issues so I’ve dealt with them for the past year (their lack of responsibility for design flaws is unacceptable) and I don’t want to pay £8 to send it in wait 2 weeks get it back and there’s no fix so 🤷🏻♂️
KLC Supplanter same
I have a Scuf Impact I have owned it for around 7 months with no issues.
Had mine for 9months one trigger is broken face button doesn't work sometimes paddles are a lil wonky and I got stick drift consider yourself lucky
I’ve had a scuf prestige for about 7 months and it works perfectly
I have 2 old infinity4ps scuf controllers and I have had no issues at all. One was purchased when they were released for PS4. I am still using both of them without issues.
Vantage 2 sucks!! came in defective and had to return. Had to go with a Astro c40. So far so good.
Love my astro c40 tr best controller ever love the feel of everything on it
You guys are lucky! My cousin just bought it and after 3 days he got the stick drift...
Aleš Zupanc just rest it’s and it’ll work. Once in a while I get small issues but a reset got it fixed for me
I've had several elite controllers and the astro c40 is by far the best feeling controller to me. But I've been through 2 of them and both had stick drift within a week of using both and switched to new sticks...same issue. I switched to the vantage 2 and have had zero issues with them. I had a vantage 1 that was cheap feeling and absolute garbage. And for the love of god all elite controller manufacturers....please please please make sure the connector is surrounded by some sort of "holder" or "reinforcement" (i.e scuf vantage 1& 2). I've had so many elite controllers fail just because the cord gets the point where you can't use it anymore (and I know there are ways to "fix" this issue) because it won't stay in.
@@wolf99hd i bought my own analog sticks from evil mod with pro tension and havent had stick drift. but once in a while i have to reset it with the mapping software on my pc because im unable to sprint while playing COD; or just press and hold the reset button on the back and it goes back to normal. this doesnt happen consistently enough to be that big of issue, at least not yet.
i got a scuf ps4 infinity controller and my left back paddle stopped working after about 4 months which was quite disappointing.
Play claw😈
If you're going with only 2 paddles on a control i would recommend fos srike pack or ps4 back attachment tbh
Same but after like a year or something
@@sanpevo9951 that back button attachment is out of stock everywhere lol
I got my brother the scuf vantage 2 because all of our controllers were dying. We got it and honestly nothing has gone wrong. It’s been around 6 months and he plays constantly 24/7 and it’s good because when the sticks were down like they are always going to do especially how hard he plays we just replace them. He has also gotten way better from his time playing and the extra inputs dominating his friend group. There was a issue where when he had it on wired it did disconnect but we fixed because it was a cord issue. Hope that the controller continues to work well.
Watched so many videos before purchasing my scuf. Especially yours. When first bought it I had stick drift. Sent it in and had it returned to Canada within a month. Came back perfect. Think this was February 2018 and I’m still using it. I wanna get another one but now I guess wait till scuf/Corsair release one
But absolutely agree with this about scuf. They’re just aesthetically pleasing
I've got a SCUF Impact for about 1.5 years now.
I'll say this. Once you master the additional triggers on the back, and if you reroute the buttons well, you can really dominate. The controller is also larger and feels more steady in your hand which is a plus.
Nevertheless, something that infuriates me is the build quality of the controller and how easily it breaks. It has broken on many occasions for me now, even after just the slightest drop to the ground from not even knee height. The thumbsticks also wear away veeery easily and the triggers dislocate on many occasions.
I really hope the company will fix these issues since I am sure they are losing out a lot of customers due to this!
✌
Broooooo how have you not reviewed the razer raiju controllers yet
Filthy Ronin and the wolverine for Xbox. So underrated
I was thinking the same thing I purchased the original raiju two years ago from someone that had owned it for about a year or two as well and have absolutely zero issues with the controller
Razer has bad quality on controllers too
Avoid the razer raiju tournament like the plague, lasted 2 weeks before serious stick drift - returned it and got a nacon revolution unlimited pro, 1 year later and still good as new. The back buttons and the trigger stops were nice on the razer but quality control was clearly non existent.
@@makesy-5327 have the same issue i returned my 2019 raiju tournament on warranty bc my m4 button came coose after a month. got a new one and after 3 months same button broke
I ordered mine 2 weeks ago. I had read about some issues with durability but I didn’t want to wait as all I’m doing during lockdown is playing CoD. Hope mine is a good one. And hope it gets here soon.
Astro c40 for me, great but I've had to get hold of astro for some new modules. I've changed the use on the stick by putting it to one of the back buttons so should be all good now. Also the astro team are really good at getting back to you, respond to emails everytime so far within a week even with everything going on 👍
The astro is a waste first day i got it the left analog didnt work when trying to change my layout i was disappointed
They start drifting in two weeks, and break in about three months
Scuf Vantage 2 here, had issues with the Vantage one purchased at GameStop. Controller did not stay connected to PS4 in either wired or wireless mode. I had bought the warranty, so I brought it back to redeem warranty and exchanged it for the Vantage 2. 6 months later and it still works great! I have put in hundreds and hundreds of hours (I believe at least 400 hours) on it, and my only issue has been I wore out a left analog stick (the stick itself, not the sensor. Call of duty tactical sprint created a flat spot at probably about 350 hours), and I broke one paddle off. I know they have a warranty on the paddles breaking, but for $13 I wasn’t about to deal with going through the warranty and having to wait more time for my paddles. Aside from this, it has been a great controller for me and I have no complaints!
I’ve had 2 SCUF controllers. And I hear a lot of people say they have problems with them but I’ve never had a problem. I’ve had both for over 2 years without a problem. I love my SCUF Impact.
Just cancelled my Scuf infinity 4ps order lol guess I’ll get a battlebeaver one.
Good decision
Honestly I’m not a fan of Scuf because the 2 middle paddles are just way out of reach.
For you, tho not for me. People like me have FAT fingers that take full adv of them
Yeah my hands kinda big so my middle finger naturally rest on the inner buttons
100 percent agree. The elite 2 is way better in that department.
shut up kid
I had the Scuf Vantage one for 1 month last year and it got messed, then I had the Vantage 2 for 6 months and still no issue. It is very comfortable and very useful.
I've had 2 Scuf controllers, without issues. Minus standard wear and tear. PS3 scuf lasted for 2 years, then I got a PS4. I still use my 1st PS4 scuf. Did start to get stick drift/jerk, but that was easily fixed by replacing a small part in the analog module.
When i am watching right now at 3 18 pm est why tf is there 1 dis like, HUH
Had to drop a like you give an honest opinion about stuff, that’s the reason why I don’t use Scuf because they only last me 6-9 moths at most I have to send them in for repairs all the time, mother board broke, then got stick drift, got it back in the paddles didn’t work on the bottom and sent it in for the 3rd time in less then 1 year, I swear they program them to crap out every year so you come back to buy another one because if they built it to last you wouldn’t be back on the site buying another one
I’ve had my Battle Beaver for 3 years! No issues. Delivery timeframe not great when I 1st purchased in 2017 so hopefully it has improved. But worth the wait!
Their delivery still takes a long time. I sent in a controller to be upgraded in December and got it back in February and it had disconnect issues so I had to send it back again. This time it took 16 days.
Hey big fan and congrats on all the success the channel is having! Any idea when we can see new controller from Corsair X Scuf? I want to invest in another controller and I currently have a battle beaver that I love, wanted to try something new and wouldn't mind waiting a few months if they have something in the works.
Got a scuf infinite ps4 for almost 2 years now, only broke 1 paddle but after purchasing 4 reserve paddle no one has broke after. No problems with the thumbsticks or something else. So I’m still a fan of scuf, my first scuf and still the only one I ever needed
Thank you fo making video because i planned on buying the scuf. But now i know the problems. I will definitely wait until cosair fixes the problems
Had a scuf infinity and impact over the years and no problems so far.
Stick got stuck at the start but i just took some sandpaper and smoothed the underside of the ring and it was fixed.
I also play with for outer paddels because it’s more comfortable.
Bought my first scuf in 2010, a wired black xb360 pad with 2 paddles and trigger stops, cost me like £60 directly from them (they were a tiny company then and not widely known) I heard about them through other players in EGL.
Since then I have owned multiple controllers for all platforms and never had one break on me without the fault being of my own doing.
I agree there will always be quality xo trol issues, but I guarantee a lot of people that complain about there controller breaking have been part of the cause but they will always say they took great care of it and never abused it.
Tip for anyone looking for “elite” controller or just back buttons go with extreme rate dawn remap kit.. you’ll save $100s of dollars and worx perfectly for me
