The competitive edge

Remappable paddles allow you to keep your thumbs on the sticks and engage fingers that are usually passive. May take some time to get used to, but it will shorten your response times and provide you with game-changing milliseconds.

Your controller comes with three preset paddle profile configurations to get you started. Simply press the Profile Button on the back of the controller to select the one you want.

Ready to create your own configuration?

• First press the Profile Button until you see the color profile you want to change.
• Next, press the Profile Button again, but continue to hold it until the light starts to blink.
• Now you can remap any paddle by simultaneously pressing the paddle and the button you would like to remap it to.
• To save your remapped configuration, simply press the Profile Button. The Profile Indicator light will stop blinking.

Please note:

• Any paddle can be made inactive by mapping them to the Share Button.
• Paddles can be mapped to any controller function except Xbox Button, Share and LT/RT.

Fire faster. Or not.

Instinct is equipped with Instant Triggers, perfect for firing off a quick shot at the speed of a mouse click. Simply flip the switch towards the outside of the controller.

Prefer a longer pull for those days at the track? No problem, flip the switch the other way for the full range of motion to give you the ultimate throttle and brake control for racing games.

Please note: Instant Triggers only available in Instinct Pro.

Make it yours

Want to swap your thumbsticks? Change your D-Pad? Simply, remove your faceplate by gently pulling it from the top, near the USB-C Port and pull away. Make your changes. Reverse the motion to replace. Game on.

Keep your look fresh with a new Faceplate, Thumbsticks and Anti-Friction Rings – there are endless combinations available at scufgaming.com.

Ultimate control

First things first, what are you playing?

For first person shooters, we recommend using your tall thumbstick on the right for precision and accuracy through the scope. Short concaved on the left to dig in for quick, responsive moves. For sports games, stick with your concave sticks, they'll give you the right balance.

Want to do your own thing? We get it. Remove your faceplate and simply pull the thumbsticks away from the shaft. Slide the new one on just as easily. To remove your Anti-Friction Rings, simply push them out from behind the faceplate and reverse the motion to reinstall.

Mic check

The Mute Button is an easy way for you to toggle muting your microphone in-game when your wired headset is plugged into your controller. The button light will be off when your mic is on and turns amber when you are muted. Be aware of this or your team won't be able to hear you.

Please note:

• Headset in-line volume controls function independently of your controller.
• The Mute Button will not work with wireless headsets.
