With Black Friday just around the corner, and Christmas already knocking on the door, the difficult time has come to consider purchases and gifts. And difficult not only in economic terms (blessed extra pay), but also in terms of choosing what to give to get it right. The good news? That manufacturers are aware of this and adjust the supply to the volume of demand. The bad? That with so much offer, sometimes it is also difficult to choose. But, what if the offer consisted of personalization? Well, that is what SCUF offers, and the reason why we consider if it is a good option to give as a gift this Christmas (short version: yes).
If you still do not know SCUF, which is part of CORSAIR, you should know that we are talking about a brand of peripherals and accessories especially aimed at the world of gaming. Among them we can find everything from headphones to practical support and lumbar support, so that those long gaming sessions do not take a physical toll on us, but with the focus on its flagship product: controllers for PCs and video consoles, a field in which They stand out for their proposal.
The starting point are four models: REFLEX, INSTINT PRO, IMPACT and INFINITY 4PS PRO. With them, it supports the current and previous generation of consoles and PC users, with designs that are clearly recognizable at first glance, and that make it much easier to adapt to them for all those who, before using a SCUF controller , have been users of the official models of the consoles. Quite an advantage because, on many occasions, these types of changes are much more pronounced than one might think at first, which affects the gaming experience.
Now, these four models are just the beginning because, as I indicated before, the key with SCUF is in customization. And it is that we can start from the standard designs of the controls but, with all the options that the manufacturer offers us for this purpose, in a few minutes we can redesign the remote until it adapts it, to the millimeter, to our tastes and preferences (or to those of the person to whom you are going to give it, of course). ).
To facilitate the process, SCUF’s online store offers, as a starting point, a series of both its own designs and those of third parties (mainly from content creators) that you can choose from if you don’t want to complicate yourself. However, for both REFLEX (PlayStation 5 and PC) and INSTINT PRO (XBOX + PC) we have the Custom section and, if we access it, we can start with its color or frontal design, modify the color of the lower part, adjust the design and color of the buttons, the shape of the sticks, the color of the ring of each one of them, the style of the pad, the color of the bumpers, of the triggers and if you want it to have vibration or not.
All this, of course, guided step by step by an assistant that will show you, in real time, what you are modifying at all times, and the result of the configuration that you are carrying out. In this way, you can check how the colors combine and if you like the result. Otherwise you will only have to go back to modify the selections you have made previously.
