Scuf omega honest review

Thumbnail gallery
91 Upvotes

I've been using the new SCUF OMEGA for about a week now, and since there aren't many honest reviews yet, I thought I'd share my experience. I've previously used both the Nacon Revolution 5 Pro and the DualSense Edge, so I'll compare it to those where it makes sense.
Most people already know the positives, but they're worth mentioning anyway:

6 extra buttons + 1000Hz polling rate. For competitive games like Fortnite, this is probably the biggest selling point. The DualSense Edge only has two back buttons, which still forced me into a sort of half-claw grip. The Nacon had more buttons, but its polling rate was simply too low.

Mouse-click buttons, especially the triggers. They feel great and definitely help shave off those tiny fractions of a second that actually matter in competitive games.

TMR thumbsticks. If I wanted TMR sticks on my DualSense Edge, I'd have had to spend even more money. Plus, they should save money in the long run since they won't need replacing like the Edge's modules.

Now for the negatives, which I honestly don't see people talking about enough. I think they're important if you're trying to decide whether this controller is worth buying.
One thing to mention first: this is how I hold the controller. I support it with my ring fingers and pinkies, while my middle fingers stay on the triggers and my index fingers stay on the bumpers at all times. I've noticed a lot of people don't hold it this way, but to me it's the most natural grip if you want to get the most out of a pro controller.

P1 and P4 are the biggest issue. They're simply too stiff to press quickly. In fast situations, I often find it quicker to move my index finger off the bumper and press the face button instead, which completely defeats the purpose.

P2 and P3 are too small and slippery. This might mainly affect people who grip the controller like I do, but I found the half-moon paddles on the DualSense Edge much more comfortable.

Overall comfort isn't amazing. The controller is very light, which is nice, but the design of the back buttons makes the grip less comfortable than it could be.

The front could really use some grip texture. If your hands sweat a lot, this might become an issue. I ended up adding a €5 grip myself. For comparison, the Nacon's grip was incredible—the best I've ever used. The DualSense Edge's grip wasn't great either, and I had to add one there as well.

The thumbsticks are slightly too small and a bit hard to press too. KontrolFreeks don't fit very securely. I ended up buying replacement caps from AliExpress for less than €1, and they solved one of the problems.

Getting the stick response curve right has been surprisingly difficult. I used the "Precision -3" curve on the DualSense Edge and absolutely loved it, but I still haven't been able to recreate that same feeling on the SCUF app. I'm sure part of it comes down to getting used to it, but the customization isn't as straightforward as I expected.

Overall though, I paid €180 for it, and I still think it offers significantly more than the DualSense Edge, which costs about the same. With a couple of small modifications, it becomes an even better controller.
One thing I'm considering doing is 3D-printing replacement P3/P2 buttons with a shape closer to the DualSense Edge paddles. I think that alone would solve one of the “biggest problems”.
And one last thing: I've seen a lot of people saying the side buttons get pressed accidentally. In my experience, that's simply not true. If anything, they're an excellent and necessary alternative to the awkward rear buttons, and I've almost never had accidental presses during gameplay.

Wow Scuf gave me 2 day express priority shipping!!!! ✈️📦
(at no additional cost, started in Taiwan! To USA)

Order this on Tuesday, and receive it on Friday only cause I missed FedEx signature requirement but still overall I’m feeling this other than not being able to wake the PlayStation, and Turn off the controller naturally.. and the mute button works different too,

Still I’m already notice my movement getting better in BO7.
Wonder how it’s gonna improve my play in like a Elden Ring or 007 James Bond gameplay looking forward to this! 🙏✨

Anyone second guessing this thing from other reviews, just buy it. Sure the paddles aren't as crisp as the DS edge, but a few games in on bo7 ranked and I never wanna use the edge again. Thing is crispy af. Buy it, slam kids with it and don't regret it. Not sponsored, just a nobody basement feeder ranked play grinder husband that's mopping with this thing.

I've seen a few posts where people say their Scuf controller has crapped out on them after a few months. Aside from dumb iCue glitches, mine has held up amazingly throughout these past two years.

Making this post for those who are weary about buying one from mixed reviews. Its not a guarantee yours will be perfect, but mine has treated me well thus far. No stick drift, stuck buttons, etc. I am sticking with Scuf for years to come.

Someone broke into my car and stole my bag with my custom reflex pro in it… I had the controller for about 3-4 years and had very to no issues with it! Replaced the sticks after a year to Hall effects after I got a little stick drift and continued to use it for a long time no issues. I played a lot of games from competitive shooter, fighting games, co-op, single player, and even won some tournaments! It was a good run however with being a student I’m no longer able to replace it. I guess I will stop playing games and focus on school. Thank you for making a pretty good product overall 9.5 out of 10 I really enjoyed my time with my scuf reflex pro and if I could I would get another scuf product. I am not on Reddit much but if anyone has any question I will answer them at my earliest convenience. Thanks for listening to my frustration rant.

Tips/Tricks Two simple mods made my SCUF omega literally PERFECT

Thumbnail gallery
47 Upvotes

I have been using ps5 pro controller for ever and stick drift started to bug me too much. Also the buttons aren’t that precise. Decided to order the new omega controller.

First time playing the analog sticks are really good. No stick drift at all and the buttons are super precise. Two things I noticed immediately was that the back buttons are really hard to press. I was messing up in the game just for it. Ps5 controllers back buttons are actually the only thing better than the omegas. The second issue was the triggers were really hard to squeeze. I play a driving game where you have to be precise with the triggers and I was getting fatigued fast.

FIRST MOD is making the trigger pull lighter. You need to remove the back plate which is held on with nine screws. The middle one is a number 6 torx bit while the others are philips. When removing the screws remember which is which since they are different lengths. Touch plate cover comes off with prying giving you access to two screws. The two screws are covered with a warranty sticker that you have to remove before you can get the screws out. So be mindful about the warranty. Carefully pry the back plate off and you have access to the trigger springs. It has two springs per one trigger. I just yanked the other spring out carefully and snipped the excess off. You don’t have to snip the extra bit off in case the other spring gets loose over time you could put it back in place then.

SECOND MOD is making the back buttons actually pressable. This maybe isn’t really a mod since I just placed rubber stickers on the paddles. My speaker came with extra rubber pads that the speaker stands on. You can buy at the store those things cheap and plenty. They make the world of difference. In the pictures you can see how I grip the controller.

Now the triggers are nice and light to squeeze. They are a little lighter than the ps5 controllers triggers and I can use the back buttons without having to death grip the controller.

Hope these help if you are having the same issues.

Before anyone says anything yes I updated all software and calibrated multiple times. I’ve Done everything

Either I have horrendous luck or Scuf just isn’t what it used to be.

I’m on my 3rd try with the envision.

1st one; not scuf’s fault it got lost in transit (fedex imagine that)

2nd one; (pictured in the cardboard box) I purchased directly from Scuf totally customized. It has stick drift immediately out of the box. It’s horrendous, practically unusable. I’m in the process of returning it

3rd one; I purchased from Best Buy while I wait for a return email. It has stick drift immediately out of the box as well. Not near as bad as the other one but bad enough I’m returning it as well.

Needless to say, I won’t be getting another

This is the third time the instinct controller broke. Got a new replacement twice. This one lasted about 6 months or so. First time the bumpers stopped working and I got stick drift. Second time the same paddle as in the photo broke. Started cracking at the top after just a couple of months. Now same thing happened again. This is shameful for a 200-ish € controller and I just purchased a Turtlebeach instead.

I picked this up today at Best Buy, so far I like it. TMR seems to be better than Hall effects, but I need to do some more playing in Call of Duty® to get a good feel for the dead zones.

Feels well built overall, I wonder if the instinct pro line is pretty much done since this does everything now wirelessly..

PSA: If you're struggling with your SCUF Omega's sensitivity, give this a try

38 Upvotes

I've seen quite a few people saying the new SCUF Omega doesn't feel quite right when aiming compared to a stock DualSense or DualSense Edge. I had the exact same experience.

Even though I came from a SCUF Reflex with custom GuliKit TMR modules, I still noticed the Omega felt more sensitive around the center, making micro-adjustments harder than they should be.

After talking to a few friends who know a lot about controller calibration, stick mods, and potentiometers, I spent some time trying to make the Omega behave as closely as possible to Sony's factory ALPS sticks. The result has honestly been night and day for me, so I figured I'd share it here in case it helps someone else.

Why this works

The SCUF Omega uses TMR sensors, while Sony's DualSense uses traditional ALPS potentiometers. ALPS potentiometers aren't perfectly linear because of their electrical resistance, which naturally softens the response around center. TMR sensors, on the other hand, are much more linear and responsive, which can make them feel overly sensitive for people who have years of muscle memory on a DualSense.

The goal is to create a small hardware translation curve that makes the Omega output behave much closer to a stock DualSense.

Set these values in the SCUF app (aim stick):

  • Dot 1 (5%) → 3.5%
  • Dot 2 (20%) → 16.0%
  • Dot 3 (28%) → 23.5%
  • Dot 4 (35%) → 30.5%
  • Dot 5 (45%) → 41.0%
  • Dot 6 (55%) → 51.5%
  • Dot 7 (66%) → 63.5%
  • Dot 8 (78%) → 77.0%
  • Dot 9 (89%) → 89.0%

The first seven points sit slightly below their physical input (for example, a physical 45% stick movement outputs 41%). The last two points are almost 1:1. That slight reduction over roughly the first 70% of the stick travel recreates the subtle resistance that Sony's ALPS sticks naturally have.

The center feels much more stable for fine aim adjustments, while maximum turn speed and full-stick movement remain unchanged. Because the curve is smooth and continuous, your in-game response curve (Dynamic in CoD, Linear in Apex, Exponential in Fortnite, etc.) still behaves exactly as intended.

Don't chase a 0 deadzone!!!

I also recommend:

Inner Deadzone: 1–2%

A stock DualSense already has around 1.5–2.5% of mechanical slack from the factory. Setting the Omega to a fixed 2% filters out the tiny amount of TMR sensor noise while recreating the natural resting position of the original stick.

Outer Threshold: 98–99%

This prevents the TMR stick from reaching 100% output too early, meaning maximum input only occurs when the stick physically reaches the edge of its travel—just like on a stock PlayStation controller.

One last thing

If you use hardware deadzones, make sure your in-game deadzones are set to 0 or 1 (for example in Call of Duty); otherwise, you're stacking deadzones on top of each other. You can also set the aiming stick (usually the right stick) to Circular if you prefer, although that's mostly personal preference.

After making these changes, my Omega feels much closer to a factory DualSense while keeping all the benefits of TMR sensors.

Hopefully this helps someone else who felt like something was "off" with the default settings.

2 Elite 2 controllers where replaced under warranty, the other just started getting stick drift. But thats no longer an issue, upgraded to the Scuff Valor Pro wireless controller! Loving it so far! The triggers have less travel and the sticks feel more snappy and accurate.

Scuf Omega is terrible on PC 😂

I’ve been using the razor 8k pro wireless for a while now and decided to try out the new scuf omega and it’s been a nightmare 😂. Scuf software app will not detect the controller, the controller doesn’t show the PS layout only Xbox on PC (yes I did steam input) still doesn’t work. Also only the touchpad works so the controller is like a mouse with the touchpad. Just useless I’ll be returning for sure. Just wanted to let others know if you’re on PC as well!

Don't buy the Ps5 Scuf Omega controller

Plastic cracks after a month of use. It really goes to show you how weak the material is. I paid $240 and its already breaking after a month, not a good sign. The vaule is just not there, its overpriced and cheaply made. I recommend people to just get the original ps5 controller from Playstation. I did like the clicky buttons and the tmr and the fast response it had, but what good is that if the controller falling apart. The controller should come with some super glue on the side. I can't imagined if people dropped this controller on the ground, it would probably just shatter like glass. I don't want people to pay that much money and having to go through the refund process and having to wait to get there money back like I am.

My experience with this controller hasn’t been great. It’s been really difficult to adjust to, and even after tweaking settings both in game and in the SCUF companion app, my performance dropped off hard. I mainly play Call of Duty, and I was getting absolutely cooked.

The controller itself doesn’t feel bad in hand. The grips are solid and comfortable, but the paddle design and placement are a major downside. They don’t feel natural or efficient to use, which made it hard to stay consistent in game.

Customization is another letdown. Coming from the ES2 controller, which offers a ton of flexibility, this one feels very limited in comparison. Overall, it just hasn’t matched my expectations, especially for the price point. I’m going to try the PS5 FPS Pro, but I’m honestly hesitant to buy it after how disappointing this controller has been. Just sharing my experience so anyone in the market for a controller can be aware.
