Since inventing and patenting the paddle concept in 2011, Scuf Gaming® has redefined the way Gamers use their controller, with paddle play now becoming the determining factor for elite gamers. SCUF® Controllers improve performance by increasing the use of your hand, by up to 100%. When using up to 4 paddles on the underside of your controller, you are able to improve your hand movement and perform more advanced moves, with increased dexterity. Couple this with reduced trigger movement and it becomes obvious why over 85% of the World’s top pro gamers trust SCUF® for First Person Shooters!

With every SCUF 4PS, gamers get two new SCUF HOOK paddles that have been re-engineered for the new SCUF 4PS back. The two back paddles come standard with X&O configuration but can be mapped according to your preference as an upgrade. 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. When needing to control over 20 functions in gameplay, using only 2 fingers and 2 thumbs is outdated and the inefficiency limits the ability to increase your dexterity and advance your gameplay.
