New pro pads prove handy
Scuf’s new paddle controllers have us gripped
You may think you’re happy with your official DualShock 4 controller – but you might change your mind when you catch sight of the paddles on the new Scuf Impact and Infinity Pro controllers.
The pads feature twitchy paddles under the pad: two for the Infinity Pro and up to four for the Impact. The ergonomic design means you can reach around to access the paddles, ideal for quick gear-shifting in Driveclub. An electromagnetic remapping switch enables you to assign paddles to face buttons as you play. And the pad comes wrapped in ‘military grade’ texture grips. Both controllers feature Scuf’s new trigger tech, which includes: quick-shift trigger stops, shortening the travel distance on a trigger pull; mechanical tuning of the trigger latency; and clip-on trigger covers and extenders.
The Scuf Impact is 6mm wider than the Infinity Pro, and has been in devlopment for 15 months, Duncan Ironmonger, founder of Scuf Gaming explains to OPM: “We have totally re-engineered the extremities and curvature of the controller to offer an alternative for multiple hand sizes, whilst creating space for four paddles.”
There’s a lot of red meat jargon flying around the reveal of Scuf’s two new pads, but lurking behind the military overtones and micro-switch techno-babble are two impressive looking controllers – if you can cover the cost: £ 99.00 for the Infinity Pro and £ 109.99 for the Impact.
