What's your favorite PS4 controller?

[gilroypro]

If you want a controller that will eventually break, then get a scuf. If you want the most expensive controller after full customization, get a scuf. If you want the most overhyped controller, then yeah Go Scuf.

playstation should release a pro controller and in future playstation and xbox should have back buttons as standard.

[combojohn]

I agree, raiju is the beast.I loving it. For fps games it is the best controller, and the build quality is amazing.

[AlphaKilo]

Cinch is the best controller company if you want a custom controller.

[samtuttle]

I love this you guys should do more tech comparisons. only recommendation is maybe at the end of the video maybe go in to a lot more detail for those who want to know more or link to full review?

How long do the analog sticks hold up on a Scuf? The left analog for sprinting on my Dual shock 4s always ends up not working after a few months

I was gonna buy the Razer, but after reading massive build quality problems on it(148e was kinda deep for Razer), i decided to buy Nacon(79e) and tbh, havent regret it.. for my really big hands it is perfect, and no ergonomic problems like on the review, but again that comes to the hand size and play style(do you push back buttons with finger tip or the other style), much like when you play with Mouse, different mouse sizes for different handsize/style you play.

i think the Dualshock is great in of itself, only things i would want changed is color (the frost/glacier one looks awesome) and the obnoxious light in the back. Kinda wished they're was a way you could pick the color

I own the Revolution, and if you're thinking of going this route know that there are some issues with the feel of the right stick (I have got it somewhat close to feeling right but not quite - from what I've read this is a firmware issue and Nacon haven't been the most upfront about it) and will generally take a lot of tinkering to find settings you like. I pretty much like everything else about the controller (even like the triggers) but I'd hold off as they release updates for it, maybe get it next year.

The only way this controller will give you an "edge" is if you put a lot of effort into configuring it and are already a very, very skilled player. Otherwise save money and stick to the regular PS4 controller. The latest models (silver and gold) are actually a bit more weighted than previous dualshock 4s, seem to have slightly better battery life and do feel much better than the first couple iterations.

I love my SCUF, but they only last a few months and cost a small fortune. Then you have to send it in for repairs because they have a security screw on the back and don't sell parts. I'm talking $200 plus dollars for a high end SCUF with all the bells and whistles and it might last you 6-8 months at which point the paddles just suddenly stop responding.

So which controller is best to play FIFA competitively?

[MrMike]

Would be nice if you could do a review for the cheaper controller market

[jacksyyuen]

It is a clear reason people want these pro controller. In some games, you actually really can't afford to leave your right thumb stick. The best solution is either using your middle finger or ring finger to press the 4 triggers in the back side of controller. I don't have comment on Scuf but I like them that you can do customization to change thumb stick. Raiju design seemed not making sense by having extra 2 buttons right next to R2/L2 while the distance between the 4 face button seemed to big as showed in the video. I owned Revolution and it is a controller took long time to learn by trying so many different setting.

Got the nacon revolution 2, none of the reviews talk about the right stick tracking difficulty with these controllers and the in game auto aim mechanic seems to get messed up when using this controller

[davidthomas]

Got tired of replacing controllers and got a razor raiju with and paid for a 4 year warranty on it.. I'm tired of replacing controllers and he loves it!

[amhndi]

It would be better if the Scuf Vantage ships to the UK.

[Lowtan]

thanks for these videos. really informed me on the topics i care about.

[starkiller]

Gonna buy a ps4 this summer so this video is perfect timing for me!!

[dmurph]

I wish they made PS4 controller shapes for xbox
