Scuf Reflex Long Term Review - DOES IT BREAK? 

Great video,first time watching, I watch alot of You tube videos and that was one of the best balanced reviews I have seen . Fully in-depth and just a great pace. Tys. I just cancelled my pre order for the dual sense edge, watched many reviews and nobody is really raving about it.

Does it take more force to click the L3 and R3 buttons than the stock Ps5 controller? My thumbs and wrists get sore after long gaming sessions.

Thanks for the review, I just ordered my first Scuf controller. There are so many different to choose from it was hard to decide. Your video helped me feel like I made the right choice.

The back-buttons and profile-switch-button at the back stopped working on mine. Any tips to get it working again? My 180 day-warranty just ended...

Bro I love these reviews Keep it up

I’ve used my Xbox instinct almost a year now and sticks still feel sooo good

I've had multiple. For ps4 and now Mt first for ps5. About 8 months on it now and it's still operating perfectly

Great video thanks a lot man

Update? Still working for you? No stick drift?

My fps had a constant problem of the r2 button not working had it to get it repaired twice already scuf payed for everything but it's getting really annoying and I play in tournament's so i need my controller to be fully working as intended

I have a reflex on the way, ive had bad experiences with scuf in the past when it comes to stick drift, no matter what i always got stick drift in less than a month

ive been searching. can you use a scuf xbox instinct on ps5?

Great review as always!

Bought my custom reflex pro back on 1/20/23 and the left joystick lost its ability to snap back to the center and now, just shy of 6 months later, the R2 trigger broke making the controller useless

ive bought two in 3 months. 1st the trigger stopped working after two months. 2nd after 1 month the paddles stopped working. the old controller for p4 were great the new controllers are cheap.

i had an old scuff ps4 controller and my paddles broke and I weared down the sticks in 6 months and haven't wanted to get a scuf since but I might try this one from all the reviews it seems the sticks and paddles are more durable

I've been really against SCUF in the past, as their controllers just absolutely fell apart, but my SCUF Reflex has been standing up to heavy use for me and performing phenomenally. Hats off to them. Great build. (Still getting the new DualSense Edge controller, though! :P)

i’m hoping i can find a slim keyboard that will fit on here. my ps5 controller keyboard doesn’t fit on the reflex pro :(

Had phantom input stick drift on the left stick (uncontrolled left movement). Sent it in for a repair and received nothing but automated responses from the company. Controller returned with the same issues. The features of the controller are awesome and it felt really good to use, when it worked properly for the first three months. YMMV, buyer beware.

i only play fps like siege and apex so i don’t normally use adaptive trigger. so the instant trigger problem shouldn’t be and issue for me. Amazing review btw def subbing.

What about ergonomics? I feel the dualsense too big for my hands,not confortable

After 8 months, my R2 trigger stopped working. Apparently the plastic piece weakens & cracks. Definitely a design flaw imo. Going to replace it with the Sony Edge

I’m in a weird situation just now, my L2 isn’t working probably and if I start up a game if I push x it does nothing

This was a great review! Have you tried any Aim or Battle beaver controllers? What are your thoughts on their paddle/button placement?

I have bought 3 scuf controllers last 2.5 years. First 2 was PS4 , one broke after 3 months, or the l2 broke. But that i got fixed on warranty. Other one broke after 7 months, bad stick drift. Last one was the reflex for ps5 , l2 button broke after 4,5 months, but that still goes on warranty. But o really hope they improve their warranty time or how long they hold. Ps5 edge is coming out and they have 2 y of warranty so..

Can you take out the paddles as I only use 2? Thanks great vid!

Can you remap the sticks I have big thumbs and I like my run button to be on a paddle

Great video by the way

Ok can someone help me with this problem I have with my controller my scuf face buttons and running stick stops responding sometimes is there something I’m doing wrong

I have a reflex pro on the way. Hoping the interior paddles don’t get in my way. On my Instinct controller, I hit the interior paddles a lot when releasing the exterior paddles

What about stick drift? I had 5 scuf before, impact(3), the stock ps4 one and the drdisrespect vantage 2, and they allll got stick drift after like 4 months, but now that i am on ps5 im thinking about a New one but not sure if it worth it

I think with the PS5 controller having that adaptive trigger, it's a different mechanic inside so don't think it would be possible to have it either 'on or off'

One of the best reviews I’ve seen so far! Can’t wait to get mine

Can you buy these? Don’t see them for sale anywhere except from eBay for like $300 or more 😑

I've been curious.. If scuf controllers are built to last, why do they only offer 3 months of warranty? Especially for the average asking price per controller

I just ran into an issue when my x button stopped working and then it wouldn’t let me remap the back paddles. The scuf support said reset it but that didn’t help anything. Any ideas?

You recomend the scuff or better wait for dualsense edge?

They need to raise the paddles about a 1/2 to make room for ring finger and pinky finger to grip the controler

I’ve had my Scuf Reflex Pro since April 14th and I’ve been using pretty much everyday when I game and it’s still in perfect condition. Treat it properly, pick up the scuf reflex pack which comes with a nice case to keep it in and you’re good. Treat everything you get properly and they’ll always last. Heck my first Gen ps4 from the Destiny 1 bundle still works perfectly with the white controller it came with lmao

Would it be pointless to get instant triggers if I use L1,R1 to shoot?

My biggest issue with PS controllers is the D-pad. It’s less clicky and responsive compared to the Xbox controller in my opinion so 2D platform games are not as comfortable to play. Does this controller improve on the D-pad?

Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen

Best review I've seen for scuf controllers.

Got my scuf reflex and was so excited first time getting a pro controller, it came broken right out of the box. I had issues with paddles sticking/ buttons getting stuck and the L2 was broke. I’ve sent it in three times now for repair and i still have the same issues. They told me they were going to “rebuild ( replace)” my controller when I send it in this time. Kinda sucks to have to go through this after spending so much money on a controller but I will say their Nick in their customer service has been very understanding and helpful. Is anyone familiar with scuf rebuilding the controller instead of repairing it? Will they just send a entire new controller the same way I bought it or is it basically Just another repair?

I don’t mind dropping $300+ on something I know is going to be dependable and will hold up but I’m on the fence big time because I feel like it could just break down fast and I’m screwed

I have bought 2 the 1st one last me 3 months..the 2nd one only 1 month i was really dissapointed with scuff but i love how the controller feels..im still debating if i should get a 3rd one..or does anybody know where i can fix them?

What you suggest for cod the pro or fps

Overall good controller the only thing i dont like aside from the price are the face buttons feel cheap.

Sir, great video. I am not a gamer but my son is and I am looking for a controller for him for Christmas and he just sold me. Thank you so much for your review.

how good are the digital triggers

looks like an amazing pro controller., I'm a little skeptical why only a warranty that's 6 month (180 days).

Just brought the Atlanta Faze Reflex Pro! Can’t wait although the delivery is looking long.

is there a way to remove the back paddles to clean it?

Just to give some context, I look after my controllers very well. Today my L2 button stopped working... I bought this controller on the launch of the product. I'm probably just unlucky with whatever gizmo has come loose inside the trigger. Other than that, the controller is very good quality.

Can it do macros?

Do you know if the Instant Triggers work with everything in Destiny 2? Some trigger stops won't make your sparrow or vehicle boost or fire.

The controller was great for me. Mine just broke from R joy stick drifting hard. For 18months this controller was great but now I’m going for the edge from sony

I think I enjoyed more your destiny gameplay. Nice controller btw

GREAT REVIEW!!! Have you tried using lotion on your hands?

I couldn’t help but notice even with those 4 paddles you were still pressing the face buttons 😂

3 month warranty on stick drift..ddd d amm.. Guess I'll wait for mark two where you can easily swap out the stick module.. Or continue buying more ps5 controllers each black Friday

Can’t believe the baby hedgehog from over the edge now reviews scuf controllers

Battle Beaver is what most pros actually use in composition even when they’re sponsored by Scuff.

check out the controller people. they are a good alternative and i have had a ps4 version of their controller for over two years with no issues. stick drift is non existent

i wish there was an option to keep the factory thumbsticks

Destiny 2 ftw! Nice video!

NICE VIDEO !!!

Yep my R2 trigger broke in under 3 months.

do you have to play with the cable connected to the console? or can I also play without cable?

This is the best controller I've ever used, sadly the my L3 started acting as R3 after waiting a month for repair it was ok for a few weeks then the problem persisted. Love everything else about it just can't trust it.

It's only been 3 months and my controller has stick drift smh 🤦

dude i’ve been watching controller reviews from you a lot yesterday now the scuff ps5 controller w

Just bought my self a scuf reflex pro ps5 i received it 5 days ago and i loved it bought last night it started with a right thumbstick drift permanently stays up, i mean i can’t even move it down not even for a second 😢 really disappointed, i guess im the 1 out of 100 faulty controller

In 9 months my scuf reflex pro fps has broken twice. First the L1 stopped functioning (luckily it was still under warranty) and now the R2 button has broken. I would not trust the durability of these controllers at all.

I Just got the Reflex

Bought 2 scuff controller's for my PS4 and both got drift within 3 months dont think I could bring myself to do it again. Over 700 hundred spent and just didn't last sent one back amd came back still broken and it was a nightmare process to do

A fellow destiny 2 enjoyer I see!

personally I dont care for the adaptive triggers so I might just get the fps version

No it’s not that’s cap I bought that shit break in a few weeks stick drift way worst in this controller then a actuall 60 dollar controller it looks like a premium controller from the outside witch is solid but it’s whatever that’s inside that matters. If you a kid or teenager I personally don’t recommend this controller because the only one good thing out of all the controller out there is the warranty you going to get in a point where you have to keep sending back for a brand new trust me if u don’t got the time or u can’t then don’t this controller is not for you it’s for adults mostly.

With the Edge just coming out I can’t stop thinking about and being upset that there are only two paddle buttons! I preordered the elite 1 for Xbox and have been using it for 7+ years. It’s still great, although the grip started to peel which I fixed. I recently upgraded to the series 2 and I love it. Bought a 2 year warranty to be safe since I’ve seen reports of various failure rates and know a few people that have had issues. Point is, while the Edge has some other great innovations, the lack of 4 paddles is really sticking in my craw. So, I started looking at other options, and while it overall doesn’t offer a comparable spectrum to the Edge, I just can’t forgive only two paddle buttons. For just a bit more $$, I think you just sold me on a Reflex Pro for PS5 over the Edge official pro controllers. Cheers, mate!

Got my ankle broken on NBA2k and the joystick sunk and got stuck aside and been loose and drifting ever since like its limpin bro broke my ankles in the game and my sticks in real life ... no insurances

miss the PlayStation button layout.

My reflex started with right stick drift/jumping after 7 months of moderate use. These are not made to last and they want to charge $100 +shipping for repairs. They are scam artists

Remember the days when controllers lasted at least a year?

Every one who reviews never shows hands on the back pov to show where your finger would be sitting it literally kills me makes no sense

Battle Beaver on top. Good vid though!

Own three SCUF controllers and they are 90-day wonders! When you've been gaming with them for approximately 90 days, you begin to wonder which part(s) will fail?! SCUF controllers are not worth the money.

How is this a long term review if you’ve only had it for 4 months ?

i’m sorry but the whole point of it being an FPS controller is for the mouse clicks not for the adaptive, realistically who buys a FPS pro controller to use adaptive triggers? no one. 5:47 🙄

**read this before buying, reasonable advice** Bought this to play COD Warzone. I owned the SCUFF FPS reflex controller for 3 months before the R1 button stopped working. Clicky trigger no longer clicked and was sent to Scuff under warranty to repair. Issue was fixed and got the controller back in a little over a month. About 4 months later I started experiencing an issue with drift. Not your typical stick drift (i.e. cursor slowly moves in certain games and can be fixed using deadzone corrections) but a stick drift that literally moves what you see selected on the screen as it if you were pressing the analog stick all the way down. I am not talking just in game, even on the PS5 menu screen it randomly moved at full speed making the controller a paper weight. Add the RMA repair at this point I have had the controller for a little over 180 days and guess what the warranty period is? 180 days! Messaged Scuff to see what they could do and was told that since it was past 180 days I would have to pay for repair which would range from $20-100! I paid $300 CAD for this product, add the potential cost of repair and it would be $400 for this controller! Let me ask you, would you do it? The product is poor quality. In addition to what I have mentioned there are plastic mold quality concerns as well as design flaws: PS5 controller have 2 plastic parts (top and bottom) that come together like a clam. The top plastic does not sit flush with the bottom. You can feel it when you run your index finger up and down along the sides. This is not the case with OEM controller. There are 4 paddles. Unfortunately the inner paddles are easily pressed by accident so if you're trying to do a jump shot and accidently hit the inner paddles as well as the outer nothing registers at all. The easy fix is to remove the inner paddles so if you're looking for 4 paddles it'll likely be unplayable. You'll have to be very careful. Here's my suggestion. I've owned OEM controller for over 30 years and NONE of them have broken like this poor quality product. WAIT and buy the PS5 Edge Controller which is the EXACT same price as the SCUFF and very likely better quality. Don't cheap out (actually not cheap, don't get ripped off) by buying a Scuff controller than has a reputation for breaking down and stick drift. You can actually replace the analog sticks modules on the Edge without having to buy an entire new controller if you experience stick drift!!! It's pretty much a guarantee that the EDGE will be better quality than SCUFF (SCUFF is essentially a knockoff) and they are the same price so there is really no point in buying this controller. Don't get ripped of like I did. I hope this helps someone.

Scuf is terrible. I've owned three of their controllers and they all wore out between six months to a year. Their customer service is the worst of any tech gaming company I've bought from. I bought an Xbox Elite controller that has lasted me three years so far with zero problems and will never look back. I want to get a controller with back paddles for the PS5 but I'm just gonna get the extremerate setup becasuse Scufs are absurdly overpriced.

Ps4 scuff by far the most comfortable. But quality wise was dog shit . Controller last 3 moths before it start acting up

Bought a scuf instinct pro it got stick drift within 8 months now I know why they say 6 month warranty lol scammers imo never buying a scuf product again

it isnt worth it my l2 is already messed up and i have the fps version

Not SCUF related, but PS4/5 related. Don't waste a penny on Battle Beaver, especially their PS4. What a piece of garbage the PS4 Battle Beaver is, sent it back and they charged me 25% for a return, lost $40 due to their junk controllers. Battle beaver is selling a basic Playstation controller with really nothing done to them. Most do this. Kind of a sham the entire custom controller business. At least SCUF does a nice job and puts it in a premium box etc...feel like you didn't get hosed. Bought an Aim PS5 controller latest version, really nice build and worth the wait and international shipping their stuff.

Oh boy. Scuff is bad. Been bad. And I never learn. My impact ps4 went in 3 times got tons of repairs and never was right. Now I have the reflex pro ps5 and it’s junk. It was super great initially. But now it’s all out of wack. The drift that scuff never ever will get right. But now my buttons like l3/r3 both trigger simultaneously when using one or the other. Yea I know weird. And also the buttons have major input lag suddenly. I’ve reset Ive remapped. Nothing fixes it. Scuff says out of warranty sorry 80$ to fix look at. They work great until they don’t…. Which is gonna be often if you get a scuff

my scuff reflex is a piece of crap, the D pad is so bad . i press up and it signals the left every time. garbage wont ever buy another scuff. sadly there are very few options for performance controllers for the PS5...

It a nice controller.....but 220 usd and more.....ouch

My paddles stick!

Expensive for a cheap tacky controller rattles like hell and don't last long, cheap rubbish
