Scuf Announces Custom PlayStation 4 Controllers
Scuf, a company specializing in custom controller modifications, has announced that it will begin shipping its PlayStation 4 controllers soon. The company has already made modified Xbox One controllers available.
In addition to aesthetic customization, Scuf adds paddles to the underside of the controller (that duplicate the function of any face button) and offers different length and shape thumbsticks. The company has also started shipping a removable control disc that fits over the D-pad in an effort to make standard controllers better compatible with sports and fighting games.
The PlayStation 4 controllers with two paddles start at $119.95. The Xbox One controllers start at $109.95. You can find out more on the company's website.
Our Take
Scuf has a presence in the competitive gaming scene, and the controllers have been comfortable when I’ve held and used them. As for whether you’re willing to spend at least twice what an off-the-shelf controller costs? I suppose it depends on how serious you are about your K/D ratio.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
