It's been a while since we've seen a new Xbox or PS5 controller from Scuf, the Corsair-owned brand that prides itself on making high-performance, customizable gamepads. Beyond the Nomad, a mobile controller that rivals the Backbone One, and the Envision Pro, an Esports-coded pad for PC players, Scuf has been pretty quiet since 2020.
Today, however, the brand is launching the Scuf Valor Pro, a new, officially licensed Xbox Series X controller. Except, it's missing some of the things I personally expected from a new Scuf pad in 2025. For starters, it's a wired-only controller, which makes no sense in the current climate of Xbox-licensed peripherals from Turtle Beach, PowerA, PDP, and Razer that are finally going wireless.
