The SCUF Prestige is a game controller released by Scuf Gaming on May 23, 2019.
A made to order, custom version of Microsoft's Xbox Wireless Controller (Specifically, Model 1708), the Prestige keep most of the internals of the standard Xbox Wireless Controller intact, but replaced the outer shell and joystick cap with the custom-made ones. It also has four remappable back buttons, which can be remapped using the included EMR tool and were sit on top of the user-removeable paddle plates. The travel distance and tension on the triggers can be adjusted using the 2-step trigger stops and the included Allen key respectively. Unlike the standard Model 1708, it has a integrated rechargeable battery.
Due to being a customized version of the standard Xbox Wireless Controller, the Prestige is a native XInput controller, meaning that it is supported in games that use the XInput API. Select games can support the controllers' Impulse Triggers feature. It can be connected wired via Micro-USB or wireless via either Bluetooth or an optional dongle. Third party attachments can provide gyroscope support. Playing games that only use DirectInput API require the use of wrappers that transcode the XInput inputs into DirectInput inputs.

Avalability
- Due to Microsoft phased out the Model 1708 in favor of Model 1914, the Prestige is discontinued shortly afterward.
Use with PC platforms
- Being a custom version of the Xbox Wireless Controller, many third-party wrappers that support Xbox Wireless Controller also support the SCUF Prestige as it was treated as a Xbox Wireless Controller by all OS. See Xbox Wireless Controller for more details.
Steam
- Being a custom version of the Xbox Wireless Controller, Steam can natively support the SCUF Prestige.
- Steam Input can support the impulse trigger using the Windows.Gaming.Input when the Xbox Extended Feature Support driver is installed through Steam.
Steam Link compatibility
- Works without any drivers on any operating system that supports Steam.
- Can be used just to send input from a controller to a PC. Go into Streaming options, hit 𝗬 and disable video and audio streaming.
- Controller connected via USB works as expected.
- Can be paired natively using Bluetooth.
- The controller supports Rumble over Bluetooth after update.
- May not work great unless the streaming device is connected to LAN or a low latency Wi-Fi.
Controller profile and remapping
- Remapping is done with just the controller without the need of additional software.
- The optional EMR tool is required.
- Because the remappable buttons were added in the way that they intercept from and emulate inputs to the controller's internals, third-party wrappers cannot remap the remappable buttons.
