Scuf Gaming Introduces the “SCUFONE” Xbox One Controller

MP1st - "Scuf Gaming is back with the next-generation of competitive Xbox One gaming controllers."

user14394143725d ago

This is very nice :) I hope to see a PS4 Scuf soon.

Utalkin2me3725d ago

Sorry i have to disagree, i feel it is for "noobs" that need that extra advantage. It seems it would make you lazy instead of trying to apply and extend your skill. Just my thought, who knows im a idiot.

Mister_V3725d ago (Edited 3725d ago )

Honestly, the only way to really "apply and extend your skill" on the current controller would be to just use the claw grip. Unfortunately, it's not very natural and can seriously cramp your hand. (Sorry, I sound like a commercial.)

Other than that, there is no physical way to jump and aim at the same time in games like Call of Duty or Battlefield, for example, so the additional paddles help in that regard.

Is it unfair? Maybe. But for the sake of comfort, even as a non-pro, casual gamer, I find it appealing.

Utalkin2me3725d ago (Edited 3725d ago )

Again as my first statement you want the upperhand. I would own you and your Scuf controller in Bf. Usually it is Cod noobs that like the Scuf controllers. Its about having more intelligence then then opponent, i can jump and then immediately aim afterwards. Usually slow reacting people need scuf controllers.

Again last statement you find it appealing cause you think it gives you the edge against noobs, which whatever floats your boat.

USA0073725d ago

In competitive CoD you either use a scuf or play claw, both give the same advantage and a scuf won't ruin your hand. They are pretty necessary in top tier games against other ams and pros, not just giving an advantage against noobs.
Scuf was originally created to stop pro players from ruining their right hand with claw.

Of course the controller doesn't make the player, strategy and reaction is a major part, but in tournament play, you can be easily outclassed in a lot of situations without a scuf or claw

Invite me to a BF4 game and we will see. Again as i said, COD noobs use scuf, cause that's what everyone does. Funny your claw players still outplay scuf players.

My PSn is Str8trashin

Dmagic3725d ago

its personal preference a controller is not going to make anyone beat anyone its all about comfort nothing to do with being a noob you sound like the kids that play fighters and say you only one because of the arcade stick well who is the dummy that decided to make their life hard?

USA0073725d ago

I never said claw outperforms scuf, they give the same advantage. I play claw and will get a scuf once the next competitive console is decided. I can see a scuf may not be as useful in BF, but in CoD, being able to aim and press any button can be crucial. You just seem to consider anyone who plays COD a noob.

@USA007

I know you didnt say claw outperforms scuf. But it does by most of your top COD killers in competitive.

USA0073725d ago

What do you mean? Pretty much all the top teams use scuf controllers. Complexity won Columbus and philly with scuf. I believe the number is about 80% of cod pros use a scuf. Claw and scuf give the same advantages, scuf is just a lot easier on your hands.

I wish they weren't so insanely expensive. I'd gladly pay double the price of the dual sense but 4 times is nuts. Thats 4 games!

Edit. I guess 3 times as much

Profchaos874d ago

Hope the quality is high the duelsense is far from I'm in my third controller one with stick drift and one with a broken R2 spring.

The new one has a clicking in the left analogue stick like it's rolling over a plastic nub.

So I'd consider paying that price if this one dies A
on me

arkard873d ago

They have year warranties.

Darkborn873d ago

I've had 2 duelsenses for a year and didn't have any issues. Maybe warranty it out?

Profchaos873d ago

Yeah have done fortunately eb Games have a no questions asked swap out for the duelsense I believe it's 2 years in Australia so I've gotten two replacements now for my original out of the box controller

oldenjon874d ago

Adaptive triggers are there but does it have the dual sense haptic feedback?

SCUF Vantage Wireless Controller Review - PS4 - PlayStation Universe

From PSU: "What makes the SCUF Vantage controller really unique is that its joysticks, D-Pad, and Triggers have different types included. If you prefer a shorter joystick, the SCUF comes with one. If you like longer Triggers, the SCUF Vantage comes with those. They even provide concave and convex joystick tips. Hell, there’s even a flat-top D-Pad, turning it into an actual round pad. It still functions as expected, but hitting diagonals is so much easier with this customization. Fighters are wonderful with the SCUF controller because of it."

Fist4achin1850d ago

Thats an awesome controller, but that price kind of grabs where it hurts...

Neonridr1850d ago

yeah, I have the Scuff Impact. Nice controller, but very pricey. Feels good in the hands though.

Fist4achin1850d ago

Does it really make a noticeable difference in your gaming? Would you recommend it?

Neonridr1850d ago

@Fist4achin - well it's very customizable. The paddles on the back can be remapped to one of the other buttons, so it's handy that you don't need to move your hands from their positions at all. In twitch shooters and things like that these can make the difference. If it's just for regular use, it's hard to say it's worth the money.

But they are fully customizable so you can pick the colors and sticks to make it your own.

Really comes down to how much you play I guess. I don't regret my purchase, and I have gotten plenty of use out of it.

PapaBop1850d ago

@Fist4achin - It definitely helps in certain games like COD, having access on default control scheme to being able to go prone without taking your hands off the analogue sticks makes a difference.

UltraNova1849d ago

This would make a huge difference in a game like Sekiro, I would definitely remap the Quick Item use button (Up on DS4 D-Pad) and the jump/evade buttons as well on the secondary Scuff triggers as well.

pretty cool xbox controller

Segata1849d ago (Edited 1849d ago )

Another exclusive Xbox lost huh?

hanko141848d ago

your jealous because sony cant design there own controller. by just sticking to the original. copying a xbox controller, yeah real smart

Segata1848d ago (Edited 1848d ago )

Riiiiiiiight. I have an XBO controller for PC. I have a PS4. I have a Switch. I have a 360. I have an Xbox. I own them all son except an XBO since it's exclusives are pretty lackluster. What I did want I play on PC. Also, you are pretty dumb. My avatar is of a Dreamcast controller. The controller MS copied when making Xbox. The controller and console they used on focus testing when making Xbox. The same controller they thought about including VMU's for Xbox but didn't for the cost. Oh, I learned this info with the book I own. Inside Xbox. Not to mention Nintendo did that analog placement before Xbox.

Razzer1850d ago

its like DS4 and Xbox One Elite had a baby....

bluebenjamin1850d ago (Edited 1850d ago )

If it has a better battery it might be worth getting offset sticks in a Playstation nice foreal those who prefer that

Thundercat771849d ago

I don't like isometric controllers. Sony should make a DS4 Pro. That's it. Same amazing DS4 but with some pro features.
