PRESS RELEASE: JUNE 30, 2014 – Scuf Gaming announces pre-sale of the SCUF 4PS for PlayStation 4 on Monday, June 30th

 

A new era has arrived for PlayStation 4 fans now that Scuf Gaming has introduced its clever functions to the improved PS4 controller. Scuf Gaming has officially launched the SCUF 4PS enabling elite gamers to utilize more of their hand in a comfortable, safe and ergonomic way. The SCUF 4PS is feature rich with several patented features, including two “SCUF HOOK” back paddles, a fully redesigned back and built-in high-grade SCUF Pro-Grip handles, which are normally an upgrade on SCUF controllers. The two back paddles come standard with A&B configuration but can be mapped according to your preference as an upgrade using the EMR (Electro Magnetic Remapping) Mag Key – (the EMR feature will be released at a later date.) For gamers unfamiliar with SCUF, these paddles mimic the allocated face buttons so you can keep your thumbs on the thumbsticks, while using the back-paddles with your middle fingers to perform more advanced moves. Customers also have the option to choose their favorite SCUF Precision Thumbsticks in domed or concave, which come in three different lengths (regular, medium, long) and various color options.  Sports and fighting game fanatics will be thrilled to try the new SCUF CONTROL DISC, which is fully removable and offers extra control and accuracy for the d-pad! Gamers are winning with the tactical edge that SCUF provides where over 85% of Professional Gamers in Console use SCUF for shooters.

 



 

“We have invested millions of dollars into research and development and educating the Gaming World on safe ergonomic use of the controller at the top level so when we embarked on “Project 4PS” a year ago we wanted to offer the PlayStation 4 community something unique and special, something that added that edge over its predecessor, the SCUF PS (for PS3). We believe the results are impressive and further display the innovation our customers have come to expect from Scuf Gaming, said Duncan Ironmonger, CEO and Co-Founder of Scuf Gaming. “SCUF controllers are all about functionality and comfort so our focus is on offering unique features which empower every gamer to personalize their controller to suit their gameplay. From paddles to grip to the size of thumbsticks, every part of a SCUF controller is about improving core performance so you can become the best gamer you can be!”

 

Prices for the SCUF 4PS start at $119.95 (please NOTE this includes the PRO GRIP) and controllers begin shipping in 4-6 weeks. SCUF is currently offering fourteen (14) unique front shell designs for the launch and will be adding new styles over the next few months.  To pre-order, please visit www.scufgaming.com.

 

Scuf Gaming controllers are endorsed by Major League Gaming and trusted by over 85% of Pro-Gamers. SCUF is leading the field in the professional gaming market.

Das farbenfrohe kostenlose „Battle Royale“-Spiel Fortnite bietet spezielle Bau-Mechanismen, kreative Herausforderungen und intensive kompetitive Spiele. Um zu gewinnen, muss man seine Gegner bei Schussduellen schlagen, aber auch schnell zwischen unterschiedlichen Waffen und Bauoptionen wechseln können.

In diesem Guide zeigen wir dir, wie du das maximale Potenzial aus deinem SCUF-Controller bei Fortnite rausholst, wobei wir mit den Grundlagen beginnen und dann mit fortgeschrittenen Konfigurationen und Techniken weitermachen.

Startschuss

Beginnen wir zunächst damit zu lernen, wie man das wichtigste Feature eines SCUF-Controllers verwendet: das Paddle-Steuerungssystem. Zunächst die zwei Paddles. Standardmäßig ist dem äußeren linken Paddle (P4) Springen und dem äußeren rechten Paddle (P1) der Baumodus zugewiesen. Übe, ausschließlich diese Paddles für diese Funktionen zu verwenden und ignoriere ihre Fronttasten beim Spielen. Es wird etwas dauern, bis du dich daran gewöhnst, aber übe weiter, dann wird sich ein Muskelgedächtnis entwickeln. Diese zwei Paddles zu meistern, wird dir dabei helfen, deinen Gegnern auszuweichen und die Oberhand zu gewinnen, indem du schnell auf den Baumodus zugreifen kannst und gleichzeitig für alles andere bereit bist, was auf dich zukommt.

Als Nächstes kommen wir zu den beiden inneren Paddles. Standardmäßig ist dem inneren linken Paddle (P3) „Nachladen/Interagieren“ und dem inneren rechten Paddle (P2) „Nächste Waffe/Erntewerkzeug“ zugewiesen. Wiederhole das gleiche Vorgehen wie zuvor, aber jetzt mit einem der beiden inneren Paddles. Ignoriere ihre Fronttasten, bis du dich an das Verwenden aller Paddles statt der Fronttasten gewöhnt hast. Mit regelmäßiger Übung kann es bis zu zwei Wochen dauern, um sich komplett an sie zu gewöhnen.

Alle vier Paddles zu beherrschen, wird dir den größten Vorteil bringen, um schnell zu springen, nachzuladen, Waffen zu wechseln und den Baumodus aufzurufen, während du zum Zielen deinen Daumen auf dem Thumbstick lässt.

Paddle-Konfiguration

Da du die Paddles jetzt gemeistert hast, fangen wir an, sie zu konfigurieren. Je nach Controller-Modell brauchst du entweder einen EMR-Schlüssel oder musst den Konfigurationsschalter umlegen, falls du einen SCUF Vantage hast. Drücke die Taste, die du deinem Paddle oder deiner SAX-Taste zuweisen willst, und halte sie gedrückt. Wenn du fertig bist, entfernst du den EMR-Schlüssel (oder legst den Konfigurationsschalter beim SCUF Vantage wieder auf Spielen um) und kannst loslegen. Du kannst deinen SCUF an deinen Spielstil anpassen, egal ob du ein aggressiver Spieler bist, der bei Kämpfen schnell die Waffen wechselt, oder eher strategisch vorgehst, um den besten Weg aus dem Ring heraus zu finden. Und sieh dir auch ein Video mit weiteren Fortnite-Konfigurationen an, das bald erscheinen wird!

Thumbsticks

Wenn man seine Spielleistung verbessern will, machen Paddles zwar einen großen Unterschied, aber nichts verbessert dein Aiming mehr als die richtigen Thumbsticks. Jeder hat andere Handgrößen, Daumenlängen und Vorlieben. Darum sind SCUF Thumbsticks austauschbar, um deinen speziellen Anforderungen an Komfort und Spielstil gerecht zu werden.

Ein Thumbstick zeichnet sich durch zwei Dinge aus: seine Form und seine Länge.

1. Konkave Thumbsticks sind für mehr Bewegungskontrolle gedacht.


2. Gewölbte Thumbsticks sind für mehr Präzision konzipiert.


3. Kurze Thumbsticks ermöglichen eine schnellere Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit.


4. Lange Thumbsticks sorgen für mehr Bewegungsspielraum.

Für aggressive Spieler, z. B. Spieler mit Schrotflinten, empfehlen wir einen kurzen konkaven Thumbstick links und einen kurzen gewölbten Thumbstick rechts. Man kann sich schnell bewegen und ist immer noch bereit, um schnell zu zielen.

Für defensive Spieler, z. B. Spieler mit Scharfschützengewehren, empfehlen wir einen kurzen konkaven Thumbstick links und einen langen gewölbten Thumbstick rechts. Man kann sich immer noch schnell bewegen, hat aber auch die höchste Präzision beim Aimen.




Trigger-Systeme

Während Paddles deine Gesamtleistung und Thumbsticks dein Aiming verbessern, bringt unser Trigger-System deine Geschwindigkeit beim Aimen und Schießen auf eine neue Stufe. SCUFs Trigger-Control-System ist bei jedem Controller-Modell verfügbar und bietet vollständige Trigger-Anpassung dank anpassbarer Trigger-Stops und Hair-Trigger.

Für „Fortnite“ sind Trigger-Stops zu empfehlen, falls man nicht gerade Fahrzeuge verwenden möchte (für die man die vollständige Trigger-Bewegung benötigt). Sie verringern den Weg, den dein Trigger über den Aktivierungspunkt hinaus absolvieren muss, und ermöglichen es dir, schneller zu schießen und zu aimen.

Um deine Trigger-Bewegung weiter zu optimieren, kannst du mit den Hair-Triggern die Distanz zum Aktivierungspunkt modifizieren. Du solltest deine Hair-Trigger ausschließlich im Spiel anpassen. Drehe zunächst den Schlüssel, bis du den Aktivierungspunkt erreichst, an dem deine Waffe automatisch von selbst zu schießen beginnt. Drehe ihn dann 1 Umdrehung oder nach eigener Vorliebe zurück.

Leidenschaftliche Shooter-Spieler können auch unsere Digital Tap-Bumpers und digitalen Trigger wählen (für SCUF IMPACT & Infinity4PS PRO). Diese Features eliminieren die Bewegungsreichweite von Bumpern und Triggern komplett und sorgen für ein ähnliches Gefühl wie bei einem Mausklick. Das wird nur für Spieler empfohlen, die ausschließlich Shooter-Spiele spielen.

Vibration

Vibration kann sich auf dein Aiming auswirken und durch das zusätzliche Gewicht deines Controllers auch ermüdend sein. Wir empfehlen, einen SCUF ohne Vibrationsmodule/Rumbles zu bestellen (oder sie herauszunehmen, wenn man einen SCUF Vantage verwendet).



SAX-Tasten

Falls du einen SCUF Vantage besitzt, hast du zwei zusätzliche Eingabetasten, nämlich die SAX-Tasten. Sie wurden dazu entworfen, die Finger noch weniger bewegen zu müssen und um deine Leistung somit zu verbessern. Sie befinden sich seitlich am Controller und können mit der Fingerinnenseite betätigt werden. Wir empfehlen, zunächst „Vorherige Waffe“ auf S1 und „Nächste Waffe“ auf S2 zu legen. Mit den SAX-Tasten kannst du bequem Waffen wechseln, während du mit den Paddles springst und baust.

Spieleinstellungen

Da du jetzt alles über die mechanischen Änderungen weißt, die dich zu einem besseren Spieler machen, können wir mit den digitalen Einstellungen weitermachen, damit du deine Spielleistung durch deinen SCUF weiter optimieren kannst. Wir empfehlen in den Einstellungen von Fortnite ein paar Änderungen vorzunehmen.

Nimm Objekte schneller auf, indem du das Paddle nur antippst, statt es gedrückt halten zu müssen.

Gehe in die Einstellungen > Spiel

Tippen zum Suchen/Interagieren > Einschalten

Erhöht die Geschwindigkeit beim Bauen, indem man durch Halten und Drehen schnell eine Basis bauen kann.

Gehe in die Einstellungen > Spiel

Turbobau > Einschalten



Zeit zu spielen

Nachdem du jetzt die verschiedenen Aspekte deines Controllers angepasst und deine Spieleinstellungen optimiert hast, ist es an der Zeit, dein neues Setup zu testen! Wie bei allen Änderungen kann es auch bei diesen neuen Einstellungen etwas dauern, bis du dich daran gewöhnt hast – aber mit Übung und Hingabe wird dir jedes SCUF-Feature dabei helfen, dein volles Potenzial auszuschöpfen und zum bestmöglichen Spieler bei „Fortnite“ zu werden!

PRESS RELEASE: 2^nd MAY 2014

SCUF RELEASE NEW 3-DIMENSIONAL SIDEWINDER BACK PADDLES FOR SCUF ONE CONTROLLERS ENABLING PLAYERS TO ACHIEVE BETTER PLAY FOR VARYING HAND SIZES

Scuf Gaming continues to innovate and announce their 3-dimensional patent pending “SCUF Sidewinder” paddles for SCUF ONE controllers.



Duncan Ironmonger, CEO & Co-Founder of Scuf Gaming says “To compensate for the increased depth of the controller handles on the Xbox One controller, SCUF wanted to release a new 3-dimensional paddle that would enable gamers with all hand sizes to access the paddles even easier. The new SCUF Sidewinder paddles are angled at approximately 30 degrees and operate by a push-in/ pull-across motion which offer the ideal solution for even more ergonomic paddle game-play”

 

The paddle concept SCUF invented over 4 years ago is the ONLY real solution for utilizing more of your hand in a safe and ergonomic way. SCUF’s award winning ‘flat’ back paddles offer the perfect solution for all SCUF Xbox 360, PS3 controllers and are a very viable option for many gamers on Xbox One. However the new Sidewinder paddles compensate for the deeper handles and fully cater for all hand shapes and sizes for use on the Xbox ONE SCUF!

 

Duncan Ironmonger continues “Our ability to listen to the community and our desire to innovate and produce the best possible ergonomic solutions is what drives us and is why such a large percentage of the Pro Gaming community trust and use our products. We truly value our customers and as such will be sending ALL existing SCUF ONE customers a FREE pair of SCUF Sidewinder paddles! We believe in rewarding our loyal customers and as such will be sending these out for them to try over the coming 2-3 weeks – there is no need to contact us to request these!”

 

Two outside position SCUF Sidewinder paddles now come standard on the SCUF ONE controller.  If a customer chooses a four-paddle option, two SCUF ‘flat’ back paddles will be placed on the internal positions of the controller.

 

Prior to SCUF controller, the middle fingers of the hand were left redundant so SCUF created a way to use them for better performance.  SCUF Paddles can increase the use of your hand by up to 100%. By using up to 4 paddles on the underside of your controller, gamers are able to improve their hand movement and perform more advanced moves.

With over 4 patents issued and another 20 pending, Scuf Gaming/ Ironburg specialize in creating gaming accessories to help improve your gaming experience. Duncan Ironmonger continues “Our controller ethos is centered around designing accessories that increase hand use in a SAFE natural way while improving comfort and reducing latency in an intuitive and ergonomic way – we call it SCUFOLOGY!”
