The Scuf Valor Pro has given me a taste of something I now don't want to do without: a robust, quality, versatile, performance-enhancing controller. It's a genuine pleasure to use, so much so that I find myself picking it up and pressing its myriad buttons and twizzling its thumbsticks even when it's not plugged in.
But therein lies the kicker: "when it's not plugged in". Yes, this is a wired controller, and this pesky little fact unfortunately broke the spell the Valor Pro had over me quicker than I could say "but wired connections lower latency!" It's not that there's no place for a wireless controller in the market per se, it's just I don't feel that place should be at the $100 price point—not for PC gaming, anyway, where much competitive gaming is done on keyboard and mouse.
