SteelSeries’ pro-grade, wireless Xbox controller sure is expensive

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.
