$240 | Preorder, releases December 20
The Scuf Insinct Pro Squid Game Pink Guard Edition features a unique translucent pink shell with gray accents and iconic imagery inspired by the popular TV show. The controller showcases the original Korean Squid Game logo on the back as well.
Aside from the striking visual design, the Squid Game Pink Guard Edition boasts the same features as the standard Scuf Instinct Pro model. It includes four rear remappable paddles, the option to save and switch between three mappings instantly, interchangeable thumbstick styles, and Scuf’s signature Instant Triggers (trigger locks). This controller is compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC, supporting both wireless and wired connections.
Priced at $240, the Squid Game Pink Guard Edition is just $10 more than the standard Instinct Pro. For fans of Squid Game or those who appreciate the color pink, this controller offers a unique option. However, if you prefer a different color, the standard Scuf Instinct Pro is available for $190 (originally $230) at Amazon and Best Buy. Color options vary between retailers, with Amazon offering Gray, Black, Blue, and Red models and Best Buy discounting Steel Gray, White, and Red Fracture versions.

For a more budget-friendly option, the Scuf Envision Pro wireless PC controller is now priced at $150 (originally $180). This PC-exclusive model features a slightly different design but offers similar functionalities, such as swappable thumbsticks, adjustable trigger sensitivity, four remappable buttons, button mapping profiles, side-mounted buttons, and programmable buttons on the front face. It comes in Steel Grey, White/Gray, and White/Black color schemes.
The Scuf Instinct Pro is just one of several pro-style controllers in competition with Microsoft’s Elite Series 2 Pro, which we consider the best premium Xbox controller available.
It’s worth mentioning that the Elite Series 2 controller is currently on sale at its lowest price of the year across various retailers. You can purchase the Elite Series 2 for only $124 at Walmart or Amazon, or for $125 at Target. Keep in mind that Amazon estimates deliveries may be delayed until January.
