SCUF Gaming has announced its new Nemesis Pro 8K PC controller family, bringing ultra-high polling rates, TMR thumbsticks, mechanical buttons, and extensive customization options to PC players. The range launches with two models, the SCUF Nemesis Pro 8K PC Wireless and SCUF Nemesis Pro 8K PC Wired, both designed with competitive gaming in mind.
At the heart of the new controllers is support for up to 8,000Hz polling, which SCUF says targets sub-1ms response times. The Wireless model supports up to 8K polling through both 2.4GHz wireless and wired USB-C connections, while the Wired version delivers the same performance exclusively through USB-C.
Both controllers also feature TMR thumbsticks, designed to provide the familiar feel of traditional analogue sticks while helping reduce the physical wear associated with stick drift. Mechanical ABXY buttons are included as well, offering fast actuation and the crisp tactile feedback that PC players may be familiar with from mechanical keyboard switches.
SCUF has also equipped the Nemesis Pro 8K PC family with four integrated rear paddles. These can be customized for different actions, allowing players to keep their thumbs on the sticks while jumping, reloading, sliding, or performing other commands. The inner paddles can also be removed, with blanking plates included for those who prefer a simpler two-paddle setup.
The controllers feature dual-mode instant triggers, allowing players to switch between short, mouse-click-style actuation for fast-paced shooters and full-travel analogue triggers for games such as racing titles where gradual input is important.
Personalisation extends beyond the physical hardware, with the SCUF Companion App allowing players to remap buttons and paddles, create and save profiles, adjust Thumbsticks and trigger response curves, fine-tune dead zones and sensitivity, and recalibrate the controller.
“SCUF has always set out to give our players the best through relentless innovation and an uncompromising focus on performance,” said Tobias Brinkmann, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Gaming Peripherals at CORSAIR. “The Nemesis Pro 8K PC family represents our most advanced PC controllers yet, delivering the speed, precision and personalization competitive players need to perform at their very best.”
The Nemesis Pro 8K PC family also continues SCUF’s focus on hardware customization. Players can choose from preconfigured designs or create their own controller using the SCUF Builder, with the company promising millions of possible combinations, subject to availability.
Both controllers are compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11 PCs. The SCUF Nemesis Pro 8K PC Wired starts at $119.99 USD, while the SCUF Nemesis Pro 8K PC Wireless starts at $199.99 USD.
Pre-orders for both models are available globally from August 26, 2026, through SCUF Gaming and select retail partners. With 8K polling, TMR sticks, and four rear paddles packed into the same platform, SCUF is clearly aiming the Nemesis Pro 8K range directly at PC players seeking every possible advantage in competitive gaming.
