Scuf is including drift-resistant Hall impact sticks to up to date variations of its wi-fi Envision and Reflex controllers. The revised fashions embrace the $149.99 Envision and $199.99 Envision Pro for PC in addition to the $249.99 Reflex Pro and $279.99 Reflex FPS for PlayStation 5 and PC. Those are all beginning costs, in fact, because the Corsair-owned model affords all kinds of customization choices that may take every mannequin to even increased costs.
The Hall impact improve brings Scuf’s wi-fi choices in keeping with its wired-only Valor Pro and Nomad cell controllers, changing the unique Reflex and Envision pads that first debuted in 2021 and 2023, respectively.
Scuf is getting with this system on Hall impact sticks at a time when the magnetic, drift-resistant sensing possibility has grow to be commonplace in different manufacturers like 8BitDo, Razer, and GameSir, however hasn’t appeared in controllers from Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft but. But some controller makers are already shifting on to a extra power-efficient drift-resistant expertise: TMR sticks.
Scuf controllers could also be even pricier than premium controller choices from Microsoft and Sony just like the Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 and DualSense Edge, however in my expertise they’re good for these prepared to spend the cash. They’re a few of the few native wi-fi choices for Xbox Series X / S and PS5, and Scuf’s rear paddles and clicky hair-trigger choices are a few of the greatest feeling “professional” upgrades round. The lack of drift resistant sticks has made it just a little more difficult to suggest them, although. Take, for instance, our Xbox controller shopping for information the place the Razer Wolverine Pro V3 knocked off the Scuf Instinct Pro I used to personally love.
Better late than by no means, Scuf.
