Black Friday is around the corner and Christmas is knocking on the door, it’s a difficult time to consider purchases and gifts. And difficult not only from an economic point of view (blessed extra), but also from the point of view of choosing what to give to get it right. Good News? That the manufacturers are aware of this and adapt the offer to the volume of demand. Not good? With so much to offer, it’s sometimes difficult to choose. But what if the offer was personalization? Well, that’s what SCUF has to offer, and why we’re considering whether it’s a good choice as a gift this Christmas (short version: yes).

If you are still not familiar with SCUF, which is part of CORSAIR, you should know that we are talking about a brand peripherals and accessories specifically focused on the gaming world. Among them we find everything from headphones to practical support and lumbar support, so that long gaming sessions do not take a physical toll on us, but focusing on its flagship product: controllers for PCs and video consoles, a field in which they excel with their design.

They are the starting point four models: REFLEX, INSTIT PRO, IMPACT and INFINITY 4PS PRO. With them, it supports current and previous generation consoles and PC users with designs that are clearly recognizable at first glance and make it much easier to adapt to for anyone who was a user before using the SCUF controller. official console models. Quite an advantage, because in many cases these types of changes are much more pronounced than it might seem at first glance, affecting the gaming experience.

Now, these four models are just the beginning because, as I’ve already indicated, the key to SCUF is customization. And that’s it we can start from standard designs of control elements but with all the options that the manufacturer offers us for this purpose, we can remake the controller in a few minutes until it adapts to our tastes and preferences (or the tastes and preferences of the person you are going to give it to, of course).

To make this process easier, SCUF’s online store offers as a starting point a number of designs, both in-house and third-party (mainly from content creators), to choose from if you don’t want to complicate things. However, for both REFLEX (PlayStation 5 and PC) and INSTINT PRO (XBOX + PC) we have our own section and if we get to it, we can start with its color or front design, adjust the color of the bottom, adjust the design and color of the buttons, the shape of the sticks, the color of the ring of each one, the style of the pad, the color of the bumpers, the trigger and if you want it to vibrate or not.

All this, of course, guided step by step an assistant that shows you what you are editing in real time always and the result of the configuration you are doing. This way you can check how the colors are combined and if you like the result. Otherwise, you’ll have to go back and edit the selection you made earlier.
