Playing mainly on Steam Deck, Xbox and PC, Jen prefers to collect controllers over shoes and handbags.
This review was made possible thanks to a review sample provided by Corsair.
The company had no input nor saw the contents of this review prior to publication.
I was sent the Smoke edition which is transparent similar to the old Xbox Phantom controllers.(Image credit: Jennifer Young - Windows Central)
However, replacement plates are not currently available, and the existing range of Instinct faceplates is not compatible.
This particular feature is marked as ‘coming soon.
This comes in handy for shooters, too, where you want to react fast.
The Scuf Valor comes with extra sticks if you prefer different heights(Image credit: Jennifer Young - Windows Central)
I also used the remapping function to map the ‘focus mode’ to the back buttons.
If you find the inner paddles unnecessary, they can be easily removed for a more streamlined grip.
I cant help but feel disappointed that Scuf didnt go the extra mile to make this controller wireless.

Jennifer YoungWindows Central Review The PowerA FUSION Pro 4 offers a range of customizable features.
The controller also features dual rumble motors, impulse triggers, and a downloadable app for further customization.
But I cant, in good conscience, say Id spend $110 on it.
The ‘Smoke’ edition has some serious Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 vibes going on
The texture on the sticks mean no thumb-slippage in the heat of the moment
There are four remappable buttons on the rear
The front plate detaches and can be replaced(Image credit: Jennifer Young - Windows Central)
There is a huge range of colors and patterns for your initial purchase but we await seperate listings for the plates(Image credit: Corsair/Scuf)
There are two volume dials for game and chat sound control on the bottom of the controller
This is how I’ve been using the controller for the majority of the time, with an IRL “Palico."
The Razer Wolverine V3 wireless is worth the extra spend to get a wireless controller with similar features.
Overall the Scuf Valor Pro is a great controller I just question the target market for it
