I also replaced the d-pad with a directional disk, which I'm sure is designed for fighting game players because it makes sweeps easier to execute, but i'm in love with it even as just a place to rest my thumb and I hope it gets adopted into all controllers in the future. The sturdier grip, trigger modulation, and two outer paddles did make me feel like I was able to land a few hits that I might’ve missed otherwise, but it’s not a dramatic difference as a more casual player. Super handy and again, should be on every control made going forward. It’s a well-made, comfortable controller that delivers some handy customization options you don’t get from the standard DualShock 4.

Swap-able face plates and different length control sticks doesn't sell a controller that's more than twice as much as a standard controller on paper. Putting new faceplates on is much simpler and nicer, though, thanks to its magnetized mechanism, which is also the case for the D-pad. It removes the limitations or design flaws that we've dealt with for so long that we've never really wondered if there might be a better way. The extra buttons are certainly ergonomically pleasing, and the interchangeable sticks, triggers, buttons, and face plates are certainly a luxury.

They give the smoothest glide I've ever felt on a control stick. For PS4 players, especially competitive ones, there’s a lot to like about the SCUF Vantage wireless controller. I found myself more often than not awkwardly straightening my finger to only press S2 to avoid a shoulder button. The SCUF’s four paddles are located on the bottom of the controller and can be assigned to mirror any other single button press.
What I can be grateful for is the vastly improved battery life over a traditional DualShock 4. The SCUF’s four paddles are located on the bottom of the controller and can be assigned to mirror any other single button press. But playing offset on a PS4 feels good in my hands, especially when combined with analog stick height and contour customization options that let you tune it to your liking for fast-paced genres like first-person shooters.

It's the kind of why-didn't-I-think-of-that feature that, in the future, will make us seem so foolish for trying to alternate between looking around and jumping or reloading for all these years.
Before I get all mushy about how "special" this thing is, let's go through the features that make it different from your standard DualShock 4 wireless controller. A not quite Elite controller, SCUF's Vantage makes both smart and silly design decisions.
I used the Scuf Prestige with a wide range of games including The Surge 2, Children of Morta, Mortal Kombat 11, Borderlands 3, and Ghost Recon Breakpoint. Meet the PS4 Controller Called the SCUF Vantage. It's designed to be super easy to change quickly. Piece of cake. The inside triggers can then be used for crouching and switching weapons, requiring just a very small adjustment of your middle finger to press, but infinitely less travel than from right stick to triangle or circle.
A more competitive player than myself may find these much more worth the asking price than myself. Though I was at first resistant the reasoning makes perfect sense: the left stick move up and down primarily and the right stick moves left and right. It has made me at least feel like I’m performing a little better. Before I get into the extra inputs, there's a USB-Bluetooth toggle on the bottom to switch between wired and wireless play and a toggle for configuring your buttons. In …
There's a variety of control stick lengths and shapes you can switch out if you like more throw or different texture and it comes with a tool to adjust the tension on each stick. I love it now and can't go back to the standard DualShock 4 layout. But as a more casual, single-player focused player, paying the equivalent of three DualShock 4s for one moderately improved controller just doesn’t feel justified unless you really need improved battery life.

The Vantage makes a few good inroads into offering an Elite competitor for the PS4, but hasn’t made me want to toss my DualShocks in the trash just yet.
