- Scuf revealed the Omega, a new premium DualSense alternative for PS5 and PC
- It features a host of extra buttons and premium components
- It’s available now and prices start at $219.99 / £209.99
Premium gaming accessory maker Scuf has revealed a new PlayStation 5 controller, the Omega.
This is an officially licensed DualSense Edge alternative that offers 11 additional customizable inputs aimed at competitive gaming. This includes four rear paddles, two side buttons, and five G keys near the bottom of the pad. Everything can be changed and remapped via the compatible Scuf mobile app, which also offers the ability to save custom profiles to the controller.
All this comes with the usual DualSense inputs, ensuring native PS5 compatibility.
In addition to this deluge of buttons, the Scuf Omega has 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 light strip.
The Omega is a wireless controller, although players who choose to use it wired can take advantage of a cable lock to prevent accidental disconnections (a handy feature for tournament settings). While the PS5 is clearly the center of attention, those using PC can also benefit from a super-fast 1000Hz polling rate whether they’re gaming wired or wireless.
Premium components like the mechanical D-pad and durable TMR controllers should make this a pretty significant step up from the standard DualSense. Battery life is even better, with around 17 hours of active use per charge, compared to the usual (and rather optimistic) 12 hours.
With features like these, it’s 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.
Whether it will be among the best PS5 controllers remains to be seen, so keep an eye out for our review in the coming weeks.
