- The Scuf Valor Pro is now available at $ 99.99 / £ 99.99
- This seems to be a high value Xbox Pro controller with a lot of higher features …
- … but he has no wireless connectivity
The high -end peripheral brand Scuf has unveiled the Scuf Valor Pro, a relatively affordable Xbox Pro controller that looks like a surprisingly complete package for its price.
For $ 99.99 / £ 99.99 (which represents $ 80 / £ 60 less than the Xbox Elite 2 wireless controller series), you get a premium game controller compatible with Xbox consoles and PC. It is the first SCUF Xbox controller to present highly desirable room effects, which are more durable and help prevent the drift of sticks.
It has a brand new audio control system that allows you to change your headphones via two small dials directly on the GamePad. You also get what the company calls “profiled bumper”-a larger form of bumper that wraps around the top of the controller for faster entries.
This is above a dam of the expected pro controller characteristics, such as four remapable rear paddles, the possibility of saving up to three unique control profiles, instant trigger locks and rubberized handles. Although no transport box is included in the box, you get two additional sticks to further customize your controller.
On paper, the Scuf Valor Pro looks like a large upgrade compared to the standard Xbox wireless controller and even has much more features than the 2 Elite 2 series at a much lower price. Although it seems likely that it will rank among the best Xbox controllers on the market, there is a big grip to keep in mind.
The Scuf Valor Pro can only be used and delivered with a 10-foot USB-C cable for this purpose. It may not be a huge deal for some, but it could make it difficult to adapt the controller to your configuration – especially if you play on the sofa remote the TV.
Despite this, the Scuf Valor Pro seems to be a very convincing offer and it’s great to see a traditionally expensive brand like SCUF turns into products at a lower cost. The Scuf Valor Pro is now available on order via the SCUF website.
