if you've been keeping up with the channel you'll know I've done a review of two officially licensed pro controllers for the ps4 that are right now only out in Europe the Nikon revolution and the razor rise you now the question is is it worth grabbing one of these right away importing one or waiting to have to come out stateside or is it better to instead just right now gel free fully kitted out scuf controller so to start let's just talk about form factor and the overall comfort of each controllers design now it's pretty clear that both the rising revolution are much more closely based on Xbox one controller rather than I ps4 personally I do think this is a more comfortable option the rise you is pretty much the same while the revolution is closed but a little block your little thicker in the grips while the scuf controller is basically just a modified ps4 built on so that's actually one benefit if you're used to a ps4 controller and you don't want to use something that's like an Xbox controller this is going to feel a lot more familiar to you it also has the benefit of being an actual wireless controller whereas both the revolution and ride you are going to use a wire now of course comfort is only so important what's more important for your performance is button and stick quality so let's start by looking at the Ryu now the one thing about this controller I don't like that I want to get out of the way is a stick design it's not exactly concave and it does have this rubber grip design but it still feels really slippery to me now you might be thinking oh I'll just buy a control freak to add on top of that will be fine that won't work either because these stick heads are a little larger in diameter than a ps4 so that's not going to fit aside from that though I like pretty much everything else on this controller the d-pad is okay but the triggers are amazing I like all the different customized buttons that are easy to access and all the front-facing buttons are mechanical which is really cool actually once you start using it now moving on to the revolution well I didn't like the sticks on the right hue I really like the sticks on this one it has my favorite layout of a concave stick on the left hand and a convex stick on the right this is going to keep your thumb placed here and give you a nice precise controlled movements for FPS games on this one everything else is a little more hidden miss I don't really care for the shoulder buttons they remind me a lot of the ps3 words it's very kind of soft not satisfying trickable feels weird to me the buttons are a little larger which makes them easier to hit especially if you're very frantic one thing that's hidden is definitely are the customizable buttons I love you here I hate these ones here this is comfortable this is not then we have the scuf controller now it is worth mentioning that with scuff everything you do is made to order so you pick what options you want for the purpose of this video I fully kitted it out and did everything other than a paint job but if there's something you don't like you don't have to do that you can just order everything else so looking at all these add-ons I mean you can see we have these trigger extenders you have the circle pad design the d-pad which does make it easier for rolling but if you want to use traditional designs you can just lift it off you can also pick whatever sticks you want there are four options so I'm with my favorite concave on the Left convex and taller on the right and you can remove them and put other sticks in if you want to change for different games you also have these panels on the back which act as two additional buttons that you can customize speaking of customization this is something that each of the controllers handles very very differently let's start by looking at the revolution because it's the only one of these controllers that uses software for its customization that means you actually have to hook it up to your PC and launch an app for doing any of the little tweaks and customization options you want for things like trigger sensitivity or unique to this controller stick acceleration and even creating full-blown macros to use on the customizable buttons now the ratio on the other hand is actually very light on customization options compared to the other two it's mostly pure quality without options what you can do though is activate trigger stops with these little switches on the back you can remove these customizable buttons back here if you don't like them by just using a screwdriver that comes with it and you can customize the buttons using an onboard control deck right here along with having audio controls and then this brings us back to the scuf controller which like I said earlier you can order these however you like and so it's designed to be very modular and all the different physical bits can be changed in and out you can change the different d-pad designs change out sticks do different button mappings on the back paddles change out the triggers and one of the more interesting things to or how you do trigger controls by activating subs by using a little screw attachment to move this down here you also can remap these buttons using an electric tool used to attach it to the back hit the panel you want to change hit a button and then release so in the end which of these controllers is best to go with well honestly this is actually a really tough decision because they each have such different individual strengths and you approaches that really comes down to what you personally prefer now in my case I'm leaning a bit more towards the razer ryu while i don't care for the sticks that much i like everything else about it as the most comfortable grip and I never knew how badly I wanted mechanical buttons on a controller until I started using it after that the make on revolution and coming in last place for me the Frankenstein that is a fully kitted out scuf controller
