Scuf is finally adding Hall effect sticks to some of its wireless controllers
Scuf is adding drift-resistant Hall effect sticks to updated versions of its wireless Envision and Reflex controllers. The revised models include the $149.99 Envision and $199.99 Envision Pro for PC as well as the $249.99 Reflex Pro and $279.99 Reflex FPS for PlayStation 5 and PC. Those are all starting prices, of course, as the Corsair-owned brand offers a wide variety of customization options that can take each model to even higher prices. The Hall effect upgrade brings Scuf's wireless offerings in line with its wired-only Valor Pro and Nomad mobile controllers, replacing the original Reflex and Envision pads that first debuted in 2021 and 2023, respectively. Scuf is getting with the program on Hall effect sticks at a time when the magnetic, drift-resistant sensing option has become commonplace in other brands like 8BitDo, Razer, and GameSir, but hasn't appeared in controllers from Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft yet. But some controller makers are already moving on to a more power-efficient drift-resistant technology: TMR sticks. Scuf controllers may be even pricier than premium controller options from Microsoft and Sony like the Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 and DualSense Edge, but in my experience they're nice for those willing to spend the money. They're some of the few native wireless options for Xbox Series X / S and PS5, and Scuf's rear paddles and clicky hair-trigger options are some of the best feeling 'pro' upgrades around. The lack of drift resistant sticks has made it a little more challenging to recommend them, though. Take, for example, our Xbox controller buying guide where the Razer Wolverine Pro V3 knocked off the Scuf Instinct Pro I used to personally love.

Nokia, Reflex Expand Broadband Reach in South Africa
Home » Africa » Nokia, Reflex Expand Broadband Reach in South Africa Nokia has announced a new collaboration with Reflex to improve broadband access and quality across South Africa. The deployment aims to deliver faster and more reliable connectivity through a wider network of Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Reflex is expanding its network to accommodate more subscribers while lowering operational costs. The company is also reducing energy usage and space requirements. This development is part of a broader strategy to modernize and scale Reflex's infrastructure. Nokia revealed that Reflex will deploy its advanced Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) solution. This upgrade uses the Nokia 7750 Service Router (SR-1) platform, enabling faster ISP onboarding and a better broadband experience for users across the country. According to the announcement, Reflex's network will now benefit from: More efficient use of space and power Future-ready infrastructure for continued expansion South Africa is experiencing rising demand for high-speed broadband, especially due to increasing digital adoption in both urban and rural areas. However, many regions remain underserved. Nokia reported that replacing Reflex's legacy BNGs with its scalable solution will help bridge the digital divide. The upgrade will empower ISPs to extend services to more communities nationwide. The company emphasized the role of scalable and sustainable networks in supporting South Africa's evolving connectivity needs. Toni Pellegrino, Managing Director for South Africa and Head of Network Infrastructure for Southern and Eastern Africa at Nokia, stated that neutral host models are key to solving connectivity challenges. He said that Reflex can now onboard multiple ISPs and subscribers with less equipment, reduced energy use, and lower upfront investment. This shift supports a more inclusive and sustainable digital future. Charles Castle, Commercial & Sales Executive at Reflex Carrier Solutions, highlighted the company's commitment to a carrier-grade Tier 1 network. He added that Reflex, as a value-added Nokia reseller, trusts Nokia's technology enough to deploy it in its own core network. Castle explained that by integrating Nokia's 7750 SR-1 and Carrier-Grade NAT, Reflex adds capacity and intelligence while cutting complexity, space, and power needs. He stated the result is a secure, scalable platform with high-speed performance and consistent uptime. ISPs using Reflex's VISP offering can now launch new services within days instead of months. Reflex's deployment of Nokia's technology is set to optimize operations and expand broadband reach across South Africa. The move supports a more inclusive digital economy and strengthens connectivity nationwide.
