Camouflage prints on controllers are an oddly popular design choice, and if you’re a fan of this look, you can get a Scuf Instinct Pro controller sporting a unique black tiger color scheme for just $156 at Best Buy. This particular model released at Best Buy last November, so this is a massive $84 discount for a great Xbox wireless controller that regularly sells for $240. Admittedly, the list price is too high considering the Xbox Elite Series 2 costs $180, but the deal price makes it more reasonable. While it has all the usual features you’d expect from a wireless device, the Scuf Instinct Pro also has a few more tricks up its metaphorical sleeve to make it a tempting purchase for gamers looking for a more professional device.
It has four embedded remappable back buttons that can be customized, trigger locks for when you want to don’t want to waste precious milliseconds, and a comfortable, textured grip. It also has interchangeable thumbsticks so you can make it suit your gaming tastes better and a strong battery life.
The tiger-themed print looks pretty awesome, too. Just make certain that you place it on something with a contrasting color, because you don’t want to risk losing it. Of course, you can’t go wrong with Microsoft’s Elite Series 2. Right now, the most budget-friendly way to snag one is to pick up the Elite Series 2 Core for $96 (was $140) at Target. Because the Core model doesn’t come with extra accessories, you’ll want to grab Scuf’s Elite Series 2 paddles for $15. You can get a large set of sticks, paddles, D-pads, and a carrying case for only $25 at Amazon. It’s manufactured by a generic accessory brand, but the user reviews are actually pretty great.
Another alternative for Xbox and PC is the Asus ROG Raikiri Pro, which offers similar features and customization options, plus an tiny OLED display, for $110 (was $150). The standard Asus ROG Raikiri is only $75 (was $100), but it drops the OLED display and has two back buttons instead of four.
If you’re on PC, you can also check out the Scuf Envision Pro controller. This is also a wireless peripheral with a wide selection of customizable inputs, as well as side-mounted SAX buttons, mechanical switch face buttons, hair-triggers, and a cool RGB strip. The slick white version is on sale for $132, saving you $48 when you purchase it.
PC (and PlayStation) users should also check out the Victrix Pro BFG deal at Amazon, as this awesome modular controller is on sale for only $155 (was $180) if you choose the white model with blue accents.
