SCUF’s new Valor Pro controller has anti-drift TMR thumbsticks and 1000Hz polling rate

SCUF Gaming has unveiled its latest high-performance gamepad for the Xbox and PC ecosystems – the Valor Pro Wireless. This new controller builds on SCUF's legacy of customisation but adds two modern features that competitive gamers have been asking for: anti-drift thumbsticks and a 1000Hz polling rate for PC.

Designed for competitive play, the Valor Pro features a wired 1000Hz polling rate when used in PC mode, providing ultra-low latency input. The controller features four remappable back paddles, which can be configured across three onboard profiles, and adjustable instant triggers that allow you to shorten the trigger pull for faster actuation in shooters. The shape is based on the familiar Xbox layout but has been refined with a more compact design and improved ergonomics.

Featuring the new Endurance TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) thumbsticks, SCUF claims that these new sticks offer significantly greater durability and provide consistently smooth and accurate control throughout the controller's lifespan. The controller also features a pair of dedicated audio scroll wheels, enabling on-the-fly adjustments to headset volume and the game-versus-chat mix without requiring menu navigation. A new companion app for deeper customisation is said to be coming soon.

The SCUF Valor Pro Wireless looks to be a feature-packed new contender in the pro controller space, finally addressing the pervasive issue of stick drift. It is available to purchase starting today in a range of colours, with a starting price of £179.99/$189.99/€209.00.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
