SCUF Gaming Unveils SCUF Envision, the Game-Changing PC Controller

[GFreeman]

SCUF Gaming, creator of the high-performance gaming controller category, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking new line of PC controllers, SCUF Envision. Designed specifically for PC gamers, SCUF Envision redefines the PC gaming experience with its unprecedented customization and cutting-edge technology. Offering an unparalleled level of control, SCUF Envision grants PC gamers a decisive competitive advantage, with the additional control options that have made SCUF controller synonymous with competitive gaming. Within a familiar shape, 11 additional remappable inputs compared to standard controllers, empower gamers to create a controller layout that suits their unique playstyle and puts every control within easy reach, for when it matters most.

"Our vision is to provide PC gamers who choose to play with a controller the best possible experience in their favorite games," said Bertrand Chevalier, GM of SCUF Gaming. "Before Envision, players settled for performance on controllers that weren't optimized for PC gaming. Now, with Envision, they have more control, and faster responses, all on a platform tailor-made for PC."



Showcasing its versatility, SCUF Envision boasts five fully programmable G-Keys for convenient access to any PC shortcut. Additionally, the controller features two Side Action (SAX) buttons that unlock new possibilities in game configurations, along with four integrated back paddles for faster reactions and more control in your favorite games. Switch weapons, jump, or slide, all without taking your thumbs off the thumbsticks. Launch an app, mute your microphone, or even launch your stream without your hands leaving the controller.

SCUF Envision innovates further with mechanical ABXY and D-Pad buttons, which offer crisp and responsive inputs. With SCUF Envision Pro, gamers can also take advantage of Adjustable Instant Triggers, allowing them to switch between mouse-like clicks for quick FPS shots and the full trigger range for RPG and racing-style games. The controller's hyper-fast connectivity ensures seamless and lag-free inputs, with Envision Pro unleashing ultra-low-latency CORSAIR SLIPSTREAM Wireless Technology for advanced PC gaming completely free from wires.

"SCUF has always been at the forefront of performance controllers. We introduced back-control functions back in 2011 and have continued to bring innovation to the category. Being part of the Corsair family provided the perfect opportunity to bring the best of both brands together to create the ultimate controller experience for PC gamers," said Chevalier. "SCUF Envision represents the next evolution of gaming controllers, providing greater precision, and performance than ever."

SCUF Envision also integrates seamlessly with the power of Corsair iCUE software, enabling gamers to customize thumbstick and trigger response curves from the same interface they use for their entire PC setup. Players can also synchronize the controller's RGB light strip with the rest of their battlestation, elevating their gaming atmosphere to dazzling new highs.

Putting extraordinary versatility and personalization in your grasp, SCUF Envision delivers more control, more finesse, and more performance to change your game once again.

Pricing and Availability
Compatible with Windows 10 PCs, SCUF Envision starts at $129.99 and Envision Pro starts at $179.99. Both will be available from October 12th at select retailers, and from SCUF Gaming's website.

Color and design customizable variants of SCUF ENVISION will be coming soon.

For that price, it should have hall joysticks. Hall effect sticks are, when good ones are used, better than traditional analogue sticks, and they can definitely fit a good implementation into a product costing $120 USD. That said, props for using mechanical switches. Better switches will make a much bigger difference to most gamers than will hall effect joysticks, so I can sort of understand their decision-making there. Overall, it does look interesting, although I do also wish that they used mechanical switches for all of the buttons.

Whilst I will probably grab one of these at some point, can I just say that I want to see a return to pressure sensitive or analog face buttons ala PS1/PS2/PS3.

We have the Wooting now, a modern switch type exists for these.

And agree with the comment above, for the price these should be hall effect sticks.

 

[Sp33d Junki3]

there is lots to like. macro keys, nice to add key binds to it.
Side shoulder trigger buttons which I prefer to use.
But price is steep for me,

 

[bonehead123]

Gee, imagine that....

All that techno-babble just to intro a few new over-hyped & overpriced buttons/control options/colors....

WOW, just friggin w.O.w....

 

[chstamos]

That price is outrageous. I'd love a gamepad with interchangeable front buttons so as to use with emulators. I believe a company making android holder gamepads (gamesir perhaps?) has made one, so it's doable. Just the ability to switch the magnetic front face buttons with ps style ones or with a nintendo-style layout, and then back to xbox/pc. Still would not pay 120 dollars for it.

The charge port is recessed but not form fitting. I looked at the xbox controller they have and its not even recessed. USB C is so basic in shape, recessed and form fitting connections should be in all controllers.

 

[TechLurker]

For the cost, Hall-Effect Joysticks should be standard on both version, and a little extra for full analog/pressure-sensitive buttons too.

Aside from those two things, I do like the PS style of controller, and would be tempted in something like this given the additional buttons to utilize for something like tabbing between programs. But considering a PS4/PS5 controller can provide nearly the same performance at a cheaper cost, I'll stick to those. Heck, there are some semi-custom PS4/PS5 controller customizers who sell versions with hall-effect sensors for slightly less to very much less.

Does anyone else also find the PC gamepad market completely broken?

All this nice hardware, yet 99% games only support and show layout of a goddamn Xbox controller... Even AAA games don't give af.

I've always wanted to be able to swap on screen xbox button prompts for Playstation buttons but still use a xbox controller.

I have to think for a half second with xbox prompts but with PS prompts there's no hesitation.

I bought the GameSir G7 SE recently and I love the hall effect sticks. You can lower the deadzones and they feel amazing.

If they made a wireless one with properly positioned view/menu buttons, I'd get one right away.

 

[OGgamerGUY]

Agreed with the Hall Effect joysticks should be standard with these... Unfortunately they are a big company and at the end of the day only care about the shareholders.... worn joysticks=new purchase... I am happy to see the macro buttons, and the side buttons... for these alone is the reason I ordered one.

PS layout ... even if the price was in my alley, it would be a hard pass ... symetrical thumbstick is, imho, anti ergonomic (aka: it's painfull ), i do prefer tho have the left Thumbstick above my D-pad

for those who like both ... i'd rather recommend that kind of pad, cheaper and customisation is also top notch ... (i find Scuf to be like Razer ... overpriced/hyped)

(i know i know, Micro-USB, but iirc they have a USB-C model recently ... or i am mistaken ... either way ... it's not an issue, as they supply the cable)


isn't the extra buttons on the Scuf (paddles or Envision style extra) a bit redundant, since you can only program them only to existing buttons on a normal pad?
iirc all XBOX/PS gamepad that have extra buttons/paddle are like that.

... symetrical thumbstick is, imho, anti ergonomic (aka: it's painfull )...

Personally I have another reason - on the Xbox controllers, I can operate the d-pad with my right thumb, which means I can do something while moving my character.

That's a big deal and it's not really possible on the PlayStation controllers, at least while maintaining grip with the right hand.

exactly..., also for arcade title i find the Xbox layout less of a hassle than the PS/Dualshock, original PS non dualshock was fine for that ... hence why on my PS Classic i did not change the bundled controller, for titles on PPSSPP or ePSXe or AetherSX2 (PSP PS and PS2 emulator) on phone ... the Kishi V1 i got recently is just perfect.
