There's a new controller coming to PlayStation 4 later this Summer, the SCUF Vantage made by SCUF Gaming. Priced at $170 for the wired version and $200 for the wireless version, the SCUF Vantage features asymmetrical sticks just like the ones used in the Xbox controllers, unlike the symmetrical sticks traditionally used by Sony's DualShock controllers.
The controller also features plenty of options to maximize performance and tailor the experience to your liking. Both models include a suite of interchangeable parts and a high-speed braided micro-USB cable, and the wireless model also includes a protective travel case for the controller.
- Side-mounted right and left ‘Sax’ buttons – designed to fit the natural placement of a player’s fingers and provide additional configurability
- Removable faceplate – makes it easy to change thumbsticks & personalize the controller
- Advanced audio control for wired connection – a simple swipe of the audio touch bar adjusts the volume while players can keep their hands on the controller
- Removable vibration modules – players can reduce the weight of the controller and lessen hand fatigue
- Paddle control system with four removable back paddles
- A quick-access remapping switch
- Customizable thumbsticks with 3 different heights in either a concave or convex configuration
- Adjustable Hair triggers
- Trigger stops and extenders
- Choice of D-pads
- Interchangeable magnetic faceplate
Considering that there's no official 'Elite' controller on PlayStation 4, this might be the next best thing.
