DualSense Edge vs. SCUF Reflex: Pro PS 5 Controller Comparison

[@AshA-pp3ts]

While the lack of 4 back buttons is a bummer, I've had 2 Scuf controllers, both of which died shortly after a year due to bad stick drift. Scuf use official Sony controllers that they modify, which means you get the same crappy stick modules. With the Edge allowing the modules to be swapped out, and Hall Effect modules currently in development, I'd take the Edge.

[@Janikbraun]

That is why I bought the edge I went through 3 scuf controller in 2 years plus I think the edge will have 4 paddles one day

[@brendanfogel4573]

@@Janikbraunmaybe they will start customizing theses

[@Jihadbearzwithgunz]

Wait you got a year out of a scuf I've had 3 all die within 4 months then got screwed around by customer service and this resulted in me taking the scufs to the range and shooting them with my 12 gauge i paid 300 dollars for each of those scuf controllers I only need 2 rear buttons so roughly 100 dollars cheaper for the edge and you can easily fix stick drift and gulikit is working on a hall effect module

[@toiletpaper3765]

I'm at about a year and a half with my first scuff controller. Any tips on making sure stick drift doesn't take over? I used to play 2% dead zone but now I need to play on 3% so it's slowly taking over and wanting to know if you know tips for keeping it healthy

[@Jihadbearzwithgunz]

@@toiletpaper3765 unfortunately there isn't much you can do as it's the design of the sticks it uses carbon pads with a piece of metal as the finger that rides the carbon pad to very resistance and read location they have a limited life span as such and will over time require replacement of the analog sticks to fix why for me the new dualsense edge is the better option as the stick module makes replacement simply plug and play affair and also the possibility for hall effects replacements down the road from a third party

[@SldOnEmWithDa45]

If you’re a sweaty e-sports player (which 99% of you aren’t) then the SCUF is the better buy. However if you’re a casual player that plays a variety of games, but mostly shooters and you just want more of an edge then the Edge is the better buy. In my opinion 4 paddles is overkill and isn’t necessary for average play and while 4 hours of battery life SUCKS just get a longer USB cable so that you can play comfortably while plugged in. Also the ability to change the analog sticks adds longevity to the controller which offsets the battery life issue.

[@Cahress]

Can I still be sweaty w a edge tho

[@luigihatesyou4217]

Who ever designed the glossy part on the front of the edge, needs to be fired, then re-hired and immediately fired again.

[@yoosnoww]

I have both controllers and tbh the edge just feels better … the scuf feels so cheap compared to the edge but I really love the mouse click on the scuf both are really good controllers but the facts you can change the stick module on the edge I feel like I have nothing to worry about

[@iiishaneomaciii]

The Software for the edge is a huge selling point as well. Between the replacement sticks and the software, the edge is the best choice.

[@mrpink3998]

I'm in my 40s and grew up video games. I own a scuf. Unfortunately, my muscle memory makes it so difficult for me to use the back buttons. I don't always remember to use the backs and find myself using the regular buttons more often.

[@Timmward]

Just turn off the inputs on the buttons you use on your back buttons so that the back buttons are the only ones that work

[@a7xzombiekiller-130]

The edge is really good. And probably best for most people. However the reflex in my opinion is the winner when you are trying to get the most out of it and want those mouse click triggers. The edge still has some play

[@bengoodey]

Had a Scuf on my PS4, it failed pretty faced only giving me about a year of use. Now on the PS5 I’m looking at different controllers for Warzone. This video was very helpful. Edge it is.

[@smitty7329]

where did you get the faceplate for the scuf? They don’t have it on their website

[@LarryStranger]

I used a 4 paddle scuf during PS4 and can safely say 4 back buttons is overkill. If anything, they became such a nuisance that I mapped the left and right sides' buttons identically

[@khanghuy1203]

SCUF wins with more paddles for competitive and the Grip for comfortability hands down

[@thepublicpotato3887]

The module change is a massive consideration tho

[@badsamaritan8223]

SCUF suing Valve for having back buttons on the Steam Controller, has ensured that I will never give SCUF any money, which is a shame, because the DualSense with it's touchpad is perfect for the Steam Deck, and I'd like to have the extra paddles. So I'll just have to stick with my Xbox Elite controller, which costs way less anyways.

[@coreyw7393]

Kind of weird you didn’t mention the grips on the SCUF controller compared to the dual sense. Comfort is pretty important.

[@Ppps-xi4eo]

I strongly agree but the rest he explained are a bit more important

[@dannydavideos8106]

I have 2 scuffs for ps5 and Xbox they sick stick drift and they won’t fix it

[@Zeustah]

The DSEdge also has stippled grips to make the controller not slip out when you’re playing.

[@fofo21]

The base reflex model of the scarf doesn’t come with the grip only the pro an FPS edition

[@ZxRiGxZ]

Always get a 3rd party grib, 10x better. Amazon it

[@James-wn1wi]

Dualsense edge over any other controller any day! You can swap out the analog if you have stick drift. Also, if the back paddles module goes bad you can also change with the eXtremeRate back paddle replacement module. Dont waste your money on a scuf. I've had my ps5 dualsense edge for over a year and it still works great.

[@Varietys-e4d]

Have u ever had scuf tho

[@saintsaber8491]

Can't help thinking the thunbsticks on the edge wont last as long so you have to keep buying new sticks.

[@humilitysavestheworld118]

Idk I got 3 years out of a scuf. Really trying to decide if I wanna buy a console and switch the PS5 controller base but course I want something with back buttons again. Infinity is a W just ordered my second one and beat the holy heck out of it on MW19/ WZ1 slide canceling and every game following. Kinda burnt on Cod’s bs though

[@Fluterra]

Having back buttons makes a Huge difference in FPS like COD.

[@spalion3]

What about ergonomics? I feel the dualsense too big,not confortable

[@nick.dedmor7504]

Where did you get this faceplate? Scuf does not offer this one

[@S4P13NS]

there is a catch! PS5 edge, magnetic buttons in the back side of the controller break down easily.. I had one break then I exchanged it for another because it was under warranty and that one also broke. I ended up giving up.

[@Datacorrupter234]

only a few more days till this arrives in the mail

[@LukaRri0]

What about battery life?

[@jojohill27]

I feel like the back buttons on the dualsense edge should go both ways but only work with a down press

[@richardgray7159]

Don't get price at all regular controller is $70 and pro is almost 3 times that $200 like insanity no reason be that much

[@zz-.-]

How is the grip on the Sony? My hands sweat and I don’t like to use gamer grip. Don’t like the stock Sonys smooth plastic feel. Is it better on the edge?

[@ryvxnn237]

Yes the grip is a lot better on the edge

[@treedogg]

Until they make a Dualsense Edge with 4 back buttons I'm just going to be buying a new base Dualsense and modifying it with ExtremeRate gear everytime I get stick drift. Not paying over 2x the money for a SCUF just to have to replace it in the same amount of time.

[@ARMY_LA-MIGRA]

Imo, I believe they purposely released it with 2 paddles so new buyers can get use to a scuff like controller, +they could make them and sell them at a faster rate. There's a high possibility of them making a 4 paddle controller in the future since it will make them more money.

[@treedogg]

@@ARMY_LA-MIGRA I agree. I just hope its soon! It will probably be a couple years...Then they'll be talking about PS6

[@powerhouse884]

I have the Scuf Reflex and the Xbox Elite Series II. Sony messed up by Only having 2 paddles on the back and selling it extremely more expensive with the same battery life. Maybe when they make one with 4 paddles then i’ll get the Dualsense Edge.

Agreed. Right now they have different colors for the faceplate trim and different colors for the back button paddles. But I want some more colors for the actual faceplate.

[@alyxbeauchamp7883]

I can't find ANY reviews which address the pain the ps5 controllers cause due to their shape. Its all I care about - will this controller give me RSI and carpal tunnel? Has anyone purchased this scuf controller as a replacement for the new dual sense and had luck? It looks about the same shape. I have had no issues with any previous dual sense controller, but I can't even use this gen for 15 minutes before horrid pain sets in. I'm just trying to find someone whose tried each controller to tell me their experience so I can go back to playing games (which are LOW INTENSITY! by the way) like horizon and genshin impact.

[@RD-D]

This is why I like Xbox controller more. I can use them for hours. I can only use a PS controller for about an hour....

[@alyxbeauchamp7883]

@RD-D I can't use Xbox controllers without pain either - we tested that out first thing on the spare console my boyfriend had. Something about the size of the ds5 and Xbox controllers just does not work for me. We did find a used edge, and mapping the back buttons to replace some of the right hand buttons worked wonders. My thumb doesn't need to stretch to reach the o button now and all is well. A shame that they changed the shape so dramatically from what did not cause pain to something horrid. I'm sorry you've never had luck with any Gen of ps!
