SCUF Omega Adds 11 Buttons to the PS5 Controller and One Fewer Excuse - Yanko Design

"The rear paddles are the most critical of these for shooters. The whole point is to keep your thumbs planted on the thumbsticks while still executing jumps, crouches, or reloads through the paddles. In a close-range firefight, lifting a thumb to reach a face button even briefly can mean losing the engagement. The SAX buttons expand on this idea further, accessible without shifting your grip even slightly."

"The most immediately striking feature is the sheer number of additional inputs. Beyond the standard button layout, the Omega adds four remappable rear paddles at the back, two SAX (Side Action) buttons on the sides of the grip, and five G-Keys near the bottom of the controller, all fully programmable. That's 11 extra inputs, each of which can be mapped to any action through the SCUF Mobile App."

"Adjustable Instant Triggers give the Omega another competitive edge. Each trigger toggles between a hair-trigger click mode designed for rapid FPS inputs and a full analog range for games that use throttle or feathered inputs. Swapping between those modes takes seconds and doesn't require a tool. This alone makes the controller feel me"

The DualSense controller provides strong immersion through haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and comfortable ergonomics, but competitive play prioritizes fractions of a second over vibration effects. SCUF has focused on performance controllers for 15 years and now offers the Omega as an officially licensed PS5 controller. The Omega is redesigned for competitive players using feedback from professional esports teams. It adds four remappable rear paddles, two side grip SAX buttons, and five programmable G-Keys, totaling 11 extra inputs configurable through the SCUF Mobile App. Rear paddles and SAX buttons support actions like jump, crouch, and reload without moving thumbs off the sticks. Adjustable Instant Triggers switch between hair-trigger click mode for rapid FPS inputs and full analog range for throttle-style control.
