Another entry into the affordable yet "premium" controller landscape was just announced. SCUF Gaming unveiled their SCUF Valor Pro Wired Performance Controller for Xbox and PC. Featuring premium features such as Hall effect sticks, remappable back paddles, and dedicated audio controls this controller has a retail price of just $99.99.
The SCUF Valor Pro Wired controller will be available in a variety of colors. You have your basic colors like white, gray, and black. It also comes in some more unique color schemes like a translucent "Smoke" color, a gold and black "Omen" color, and many more. Some of the more unique color schemes do come with a slight price bump up to $110 though.
Key features include:
- Remappable Back Paddles: Four integrated paddles ergonomically placed so gamers don’t need to modify their grip. Full hardware remapping across three profiles. Inner paddles are removable/blankable and all paddles can be turned off by mapping them to share.
- Anti-Drift Hall Effect Thumbsticks: Hall effect thumbsticks use magnets to detect movement, significantly reducing the risk of thumbstick drift. These cutting-edge thumbsticks have been exhaustively calibrated to feel as close to normal, analog thumbsticks as possible.
- SCUF Ergonomic Legacy: More than thirteen years of ergonomic SCUF learnings and expertise applied to upgrade the Xbox shape with a more compact design. Shape adjusted to place paddles naturally where fingers slot. Contoured bumpers that make transitioning between triggers and bumpers quicker and more efficient.
- Wired Connection: Ensures fast and stable connectivity. Upcoming PC update with 1K Hz polling rate for even faster play.
- Dedicated Audio Controls: Never set the controller down as individual audio scroll wheels control headset volume and Game vs. Chat mix plus headset and mic mute.
