Another controller?
Scuf Omega is the latest licenced controller for the PS5 console. It has added programmable buttons to match your playstyle. With the Scuf controller being marketed as the Official controller of Call of Duty League, one can wonder it the Omega version is not made for a specific game type. The controller is available for purchase a of May 12th.
Another one
With all the themed Dual Sense controller, from Ghost of Yotei to First Light, the rainbow of colored ones, do I really need a new one? Honestly, paying the price of 2 Dual Sense controller for a Scuf Omega controller, is not for me, I am not a competitive player, therefore I do not need the extra mapped buttons, but that is for me and it could be very well different for you.
Technical information
The controller offers the players 28 possible inputs, which is an additional 11 from the standard Dual Sense. These are 4 back paddles, 2 side buttons and 5 G-Keys. The triggers can be programmed to shoot as quickly as a hair trigger or to offer resistance to match pulling a bow string or pressing on the gas pedal. The Scuf Omega’s Endurance TMR Thumbsticks uses a non-contact magnetic technology to prevent stick drifting and keep precision over time. While the controller is licenced for PS5, it will also be compatible with Windows, Mac, iOS and Android devices for mobile play.
Mobile App
The Scuf Mobile App will be available on iOS and Android devices and it will allow you to take full control of the Omega controller. This includes:
- Create and manage multiple profiles for different games or playstyles
- Dial in sensitivity
- Fine-tune trigger and thumbstick response curves
- Audio and microphone controls
- Recalibrate thumbsticks to maintain peak accuracy
- Monitor battery level and charging status
- Set up mobile gaming connectivity
- Stay current with the latest firmware updates
- Personalize your RGB lighting strip (PC only)
A long time coming
Scuf Omega Controller has been in the works for 15 years, and it is built on feedback from hardcore gamers, should you wish to improve your online performance and survival, this could be the controller that you need. When I get to try one I will let you know, but I think my hands are too big for that sort of controller. and a the cost of $219.99USD, I will pass for now.
