Technology Scuf Hybrid review

Hello there! On my birthday, I got a scuf controller. You might not know about it but don't worry, I will make a full review with pictures here.

What's a scuf? A scuf controller is a high quality "remake" of the standard xbox controller, but with a few nifty additions added to it, for example paddles on the back, weight reduction, grip, and many other customizable things for your perfection.

Does it look good? The one I got (Yin yang) looks extremely good in my opinion. It's a white 360 controller with blacked out buttons. On the back I got the scuf grip and 2 white paddles.
There is many other designs to go for, you can get a full pink one, a skulls one, a FaZe one and many many more, but i can't tell if they look good because this is the only one i have seen with my own eyes. http://m.imgur.com/1J1Sw0M

What are paddles? Paddles are remapped buttons that are put onto the back in the form of paddles. It can be set to any button you want on the xbox controller, even things like left thumbstick down, or the start button. You can pick between 2 and 4 paddles (I got 2) and the colors vary on the design you are going for, but it often has multiple options. Why would this be useful? This is probably the main feature of the scuf controller, and it's mainly used in FPS games like COD making you able to jump, prone and other things whilst still having both thumbs on the analog sticks. At the beginning, it felt a little bit awkward to press them but you'll get used to it and now I can't even hold my old controller. http://m.imgur.com/stXb33x

What are trigger stops? Trigger stopes are small metallic things that are put on the outside of your trigger. It does not feel any different, but when you press it down it does not go all the way into the controller, instead it suddenly stops far enough for the action to get recognized. It's good in fps games using single shot weapons like the fal, or the five-seven. This combined with the adjustable hair triggar system doubled my shooting speed using my single shot weapons.
If you don't like them, it's very simple to remove them. http://imgur.com/PqRbz45

What is the adjustable hair trigger system? This one is fairly hard to explain, but it's small metallic screws next to the triggers. When you spin them then the actual trigger will come closer or further away from the controller. If you'd like you can make it so you only need to tap the trigger for it to do it's action, or something else you prefer. Keep in mind, you may or may not need to pull the trigger a different distance in different games. http://imgur.com/SCYJ4Vl

What is the scuf grip? Believe it or not, this is my favorite feature of the scuf. When you order it you can decide if you want a normal back, or a grippy back. I got it and it was very rough, but VERY ergonomic. It kind of feels like a basketball, but still not that extreme. It will cover the entire back, except for the paddles that has a matte finish. http://m.imgur.com/bpESJDR

Can i get other analog sticks and or LEDs?
Yes, you can choose standard sticks for your xbox, PS3 sticks, or Scuf's custom made concave / domed sticks in different heights. I went for standard on both since i use kontrol freeks instead.
And yes, you can customize your LED's, i got white ones. They look very nice! http://m.imgur.com/C7vfPod

Was the delivery good? I think it was great, from the day i bought it, it took 10 days from being made to being personally shipped to my door in good condition, all the way from the UK to Sweden. This might have just been luck, but i think it was good.

Accessories? The protection case is very nice, and the scuf key is a must. You need that for the adjustable hair trigger system. I haven't tried anything else, but it seems fairly useless. http://m.imgur.com/Sj6Rg6v

Does it work for PC? Mine works (Xbox 360 hybrid WIRED) But i'm not sure if the other ones does the same.

Is it allowed? Yes, it's allowed, you can even use it in big tournaments like MLG or G3.

Does it exist for other consoles? Yes, you can buy it for: Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4. For next gen sonsoles, you can remap the paddles!

Should i get wired or wireless? Get wired. Wireless can't really supply the scuf with enough power so it might mess up. It also has a quicker response time and you never have to change those pesky batteries.


Personal recommendations: Since i own one, i can share my personal preferences here. The wired version is very nice, but weights less (no batteries) so i would suggest keeping the rumbles in. The grip was very nice, i can't recommend it enough! The paddles color does not really matter since let's be real, when was the last time you had a look at the back of your controller except for changing batteries? But get something you like at the front. For the paddles i can't tell if four is good, but do whatever you want, but having A and B there saved me so many times! If you travel a lot then get a wired protection case, it's very good and keeps your controller safe. The scuf key is good too since that's what you use to change your hair trigger system. My personal favorite designs is mine (the yin yang), the FaZe scuf and the hornet.

What does it cost? It fully depends on what you want, if you send in your own, it becomes cheaper, i would suggest checking out the prices at scufgaming.com

Thanks for reading!
