So, for those who do not know, SCUF Gaming is known for their controllers for the competitive gaming audience. They're not the cheapest, but the paddles should be a standard for every controller.

They released a 4PS controller, which is pretty cool because the PlayStation 4 players could now have paddles, which really give you an advantage, if you're into shooters. I like them just because they are so much easier to use, without having to take your thumb off of the right stick. Now, the 4PS was nowhere near the level of the Xbox Elite controller, but now they just released a new one, the Infinity 4PS controller that I kind of want. Now it has the locking triggers and swappable sticks, which is all I really wanted.

They sent my wife one and I have to say, I'm pretty jealous. I really want one, but after customizing one to my perfection, it is going to run me $200. Do you guys think it's worth it, or should I steal hers?

She absolutely loves it, but I'm trying to justify my purchase. Keep in mind, I just burned about $400 for a 4PS for my kids for Christmas. Now they're freaking out over the new one, too. Oh, the dilemma.

I threw up in my mouth.

Never heard about this company, I'll look into it... thanks for Sharing!

You've spent $400+ on custom PS4 controllers?

Jesus fucking christ.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

I'm sure it controls great but it is ugly as sin.

 

[Armadilo]

Kinda... Uhhh No. We still have to wait

lol it was X-Mas and my boys wanted them. I'm not going to lie, they set me back since that wasn't all they got, but man do they love them.

For kids no less ...

To each their own. If you got the money and they are what you want, giver.

If you're willing to drop that kind of cash on your kids you should buy a solid HTPC for the living room or something. Better gaming experience than any amount of custom controlers will do.

the Elite is as much a premium controller for its modularity and precision as it is build quality (lol, just read any horror story about these things breaking within weeks) and aesthetics (theres no denying its a fiiiine looking controller though).

SCUF controllers always look really bad imo

They're the main company that headed the specialty controllers/extra paddles market before MS adapted it.

 

[jetsetnickradio]

This rivals the Xbox Elite Controller like Modern Combat rivals Call of Duty...

 

[Hatty]

is it wet or does it just look like that?

 

[Gusto]

MS crushed them when they released their elite controller, but it doesn't seem like Sony is going to give us an Elite of their own.

I nearly choked on my drink.

 

[Jinfash]

Oh, this is a paid advertisement, isn't it.

 

[TechJunk]

Oh, this is a paid advertisement, isn't it.

It sure reads like one, that was my impression too.

 

[Gusto]

I nearly choked on my drink.

They want DXRacers this year. They're trying to kill me.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Ugly as sin, hopefully Sony announces an official DS4 elite controller

 

[Guess Who]

I wish I could be so utterly wasteful with $400.

 

[Kaako]

Who put that controller in the oven though?

 

[The Flash]

Bleh

 

[RS4-]

SCUF quality control is pure shit.

 

[Vilam]

Oh, this is a paid advertisement, isn't it.

That was my first thought, but he has a decent number of posts at least.

 

[SRTtoZ]

No way. I looked into Scuf a while back and after you start adding decent options the controller price shoots up even more than it is. Stupid, i'll take the Elite every day over one of those at a similar price.

Sage advice........


Anyway, so these controllers come custom made? Do you not get all the pieces to customize yourself like the XB1 Elite? Sorry, can't watch the video atm.

 

[WadeitOut]

Former Scuf owner current Elite controller owner. Scuf is trash in comparison. Build quality is weak and their cheap paint coats always chip.

And I have no idea if OP is advertising for Scuf or what but this isn't some Elite controller rival it's just their new Scuf Infinity line. And it exists for both controllers. And it has for a while now this isn't even new. It's basically just a Scuf with the new piece that lets you swap out sticks.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Did the Xbox Elite controllers actually sell?

What the fuck.

Yes

 

[The Argus]

Did the Xbox Elite controllers actually sell?

Way beyond expectations. I couldn't find one for sale till this February.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

I bought a 4PS for Advanced Warfare and it completely broke. They wanted an exorbitant amount of money to send it back for repair.

Since then I just switch my jump button to L1... The paddles are nice but they aren't needed.

 

[justgames7604]

Did the Xbox Elite controllers actually sell?

Sold out for 3-4 months. I think it sold decently.

 

[alr1ght]

And I thought the ads on neogaf mobile were huge.

 

[jetsetnickradio]

This thread honestly just feels like a very thinly veiled attempt to get people to check out your YouTube channel (and also get more free products)

 

[WadeitOut]

I'm still trying to figure out why OP is;

A) Advertising the Scuf Infinity now when it was shown a long time ago.
B) Making it seem like this is a PS4 thing in order to rival the Elite when there is also the Xbox One infinity controller.

So I bought a 4PS for Advanced Warfare and it completely broke. They wanted an exorbitant amount of money to send it back for repair.

Since then I just switch my jump button to L1... The paddles are nice but they aren't needed.

The trigger stops are cheap pieces of plastic that use a rubber pad to cushion the trigger. Problem there being that the stupid rubber cushion piece is just lightly stuck on and falls off or gets torn up easily. I contacted Scuf and convinced them to send me replacement trigger stops except they never actually sent them.

I currently own an Elite and thought of getting one of those USB adapters that will allow you to play Xbox controller on PS4 but, the Xbox controllers don't have the touch pad and my gamer OCD acts up mixing MS and Sony.

 

[oSoLucky]

Not sure when $400 became a ridiculous amount of money. They're obviously adults with jobs and doing decently for their family.

Also, I thought you couldn't link to your own pages/videos here? Maybe I'm wrong, since there are those m0dus and orioto threads.

 

[Sirim]

It looks like it has some kind of skin disease.

Also, clearly a paid advertisement. Go tell them it looks like it has some kind of skin disease.

 

[Fisty]

Eh that link kinda throws it though

 

[univariate]

What's it like working for SCUF?

Probably a bunch of college kids eating Ramen noodle soup in their boxers using their neighbors Wifi ¯_(&#12484_/¯

It's certainly a ridiculous amount of money for two mediocre at best PS4 controllers no matter your income.

>Questionable "news" of a product that has been out for months.

>Link to wife's (also his) monetized youtube channel.

everyone enjoys it but the kid in the back painting hot tar on top of pop rocks

 

[Gusto]

I just don't know why Sony doesn't give us a version of their own, as it is their sticks suck.

I appreciate that your ignoring everyone calling you shill.

 

[kewlbot]

how come the grips look like gravel
doesnt seem very comfortable

Feels like damage control where he is saying 'i hope for a new product from another company maybe that will throw them off'

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

they blew their rubber budget on hiring op

 

[SRTtoZ]

The blistery looking grips sort of creep my out.
