It's an officially licensed DualSense Edge alternative that features an additional 11 customizable inputs geared towards competitive play. This includes four rear paddles, two side buttons, and five G-keys near the bottom of the pad. Everything can be tweaked and remapped via the compatible Scuf Mobile App, which also offers the option to save personalized profiles to the controller. All of this comes alongside the usual DualSense inputs, ensuring native PS5 compatibility. Latest Videos From You may like Best PS5

On top of this deluge of buttons, the Scuf Omega boasts other unique features such as a removable magnetic faceplate and interchangeable action buttons. It's also compatible with a non-slip grip and has its own RGB lighting strip.

The Omega is a wireless controller, though players who choose to use it in a wired capacity can take advantage of a cable lock to prevent accidental disconnects (a handy feature for tournament settings). Although PS5 is
clearly the focus, those on PC can benefit from a lightning-fast 1,000Hz polling rate, whether playing wired or wirelessly, too.

Premium components like the mechanical D-pad and durable TMR thumbsticks should make this a pretty significant step up compared to the standard DualSense . It's even got better battery life, with an estimated 17 hours of active use per charge compared to the usual (and rather optimistic) 12.

With features like these, it should come as no surprise that the Scuf Omega
is far from cheap. You can buy it now via the Scuf website, starting at $219.99 / 209.99.
