‘Thanks to that superior sensing tech, its responsiveness really wowed me’ — Scuf’s new wired controller draws close to some of the best Xbox controllers on the market, even if it can’t fully eclipse them
The new Scuf Valor Wired controller I tested rocks great features such as TMR thumbsticks and dual-mode triggers for a truly fantastic price.
The Scuf Valor Wired is a mid-range wired PC and Xbox controller that has recently been reviewed. It has been described as having a premium feel in the hand, thanks to its lightly textured grips and thumbsticks. The controller features TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) thumbsticks, which are more usually found in premium pads, and are said to prevent stick drift and offer better sensitivity than Hall-effect alternatives.
The dual-mode shoulder triggers allow users to switch between full-range analog movement and clicky micro-switches, providing discrete vibrations for more immersive gameplay. The controller also boasts remappable back buttons and customizable input options in Scuf's flexible companion app. Reviews suggest that the Valor Wired is a strong controller, offering good performance and customizability at a competitive price of $89.99 / £69.99 / AU$179.99.
