An example of perfectly paging horizontal UICollectionViewController with overflowing cells. Works great with Storyboard — no need to set any specific attributes, just add this Class to the Controller and set your desired size for the cells like you would normally.

PagingCollectionViewController.swift

import UIKit

private let reuseIdentifier = "Cell"

class CollectionViewController: UICollectionViewController {

    /* Custom scrollView for paging */
    let pagingScrollView = UIScrollView()
    
    /* Return item size */
    var itemSize: CGSize {
        let layout = self.collectionViewLayout as! UICollectionViewFlowLayout
        return layout.itemSize
    }
    
    /* Return spacing: Interitem */
    var interItemSpacing: CGFloat {
        let layout = self.collectionViewLayout as! UICollectionViewFlowLayout
        return layout.minimumInteritemSpacing
    }
    
    /* Get section inset */
    var sectionInset: UIEdgeInsets {
        let layout = self.collectionViewLayout as! UICollectionViewFlowLayout
        return layout.sectionInset
    }
    
    override func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
        
        // Override native UICollectionView scrollView events
        if scrollView == self.pagingScrollView {
            var contentOffset = scrollView.contentOffset
            
            // Include offset from left
            if let contentOffsetX = self.collectionView?.contentInset.left {
                contentOffset.x = contentOffset.x - contentOffsetX
                self.collectionView?.contentOffset = contentOffset
            }
        }

            // Number of items in UICollectionView
            if let numberOfItemsInCollectionView = self.collectionView?.numberOfItems(inSection: 0) {
                
                // Calculcate full width (with spacing) for contentSize
                let collectionViewWidth = CGFloat(numberOfItemsInCollectionView) * (self.itemSize.width + self.interItemSpacing)
                
                // Set contentSize
                self.pagingScrollView.contentSize = CGSize(width: collectionViewWidth, height: view.frame.size.height)
            }
        }
    }
    
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        self.initScrollView()
        
        // Add custom paging scrollView
        self.view.addSubview(self.pagingScrollView)
        
        // Disable standard gesture recognizer for UICollectionView scrollView and add custom
        self.collectionView?.addGestureRecognizer(self.pagingScrollView.panGestureRecognizer)
        self.collectionView?.panGestureRecognizer.isEnabled = false
    }
