Being able to customize a controller to your heart’s content is wonderful.

In the case of the Scuf Instinct Pro, you head to the Scuf website and start ticking boxes.

Nothing is cheap (we’ll get to that), but the options are extensive.

Starting out, you pick a shell with a choice of standard colors or designer layouts.

There are a lot of options.

It’s a truly personalized experience.

I’m not doing the math, but I’m guessing the choices are huge.

These options have advantages and disadvantages that mostly relate to how you hold the controller.

Best of all, its triggers don’t feel like they need time to adjust to.

While the Xbox Elite Controller’s triggers are great, there’s an adjustment period to them.

The Scuf Instinct Pro fits into your grasp so much better.

Practical Customizability

Where the Scuf Instinct Pro does feel appropriately customizable is with its little extras.

My New Favorite Precious

I’m really attached to my Xbox Elite Controller.

It just feels so nice in your hands.

Crucially, it feels like yours.

Not someone else’s.

Because you really won’t.
