Scuf Vantage 2 Review(2020) - The Best PS4 Pro Controller...With A Catch!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ย. 2024
- I like this controller a lot but i dislike it at the same time because the Scuf Vantage 2 offers a ton of really neat features and ergonomically is a great feeling controller. BUT Quality wise, I can not say the same. It is objectively the best PS4 Pro controller but holding it in hand, I don't think this controller will last longer than a year with heavy use before you need to replace it.

Honesty i prefer the scuf impact. I think it fits big hands well and you can use the ps4 controller sticks with it.
I had an impact on release!
Sell your scuf ang get battle beaver before it breaks and its too late
Never owned one I bet
It will break in a couple of weaks
@@supply2899 nah my one broke like 1 year
Had my 1st Scuf in PS3, right paddle gave out after 1-2 years. Then got one for my PS4, don't play as much so it's still working after 3 years or so. I took it apart and swapped the sticks from an Xbox Elite controller.
I got the Modern Warfare version and it feels good in the hand but the controller as a whole is so finicky. The hair triggers can make the face buttons unusable which defeats the purpose of having them, not worth $180-$220 at all.
I’m always impressed with the quality of your videos, love your content🙏🏾
I felt the same way about the remapping button However that all change when I played Tekken 7 Just like a Hit Box is easy to sidestep with or dash back because of SOCD cleaning
You can do same here with the scuf vantage 2 However keep in mind that you will be using left Analog stick as your main directional key In combination with the d-pad v ^ < > By remapping The remapable keys On the right side This makes it a lot easier to hit simultaneously directions This is because both the playstation 3 and playstation 4 Both allow you to play the d-pad and the directional analog stick At the same time
Now there are pros and cons to this Pros side steps become a lot easier to execute and far more accurate Cons it does seem like a slightly slower than my Hit Box And you can only map 3 keys not 4 on the right side of scuf vantage 2
I just want to point this out Because I didn't see a lot of people using it for a lot of fighting games and Tekken 7 seems to be made for the scuf vantage 2 This seems faster than playing normally and slower than hit box it also has a smaller learning curve then the Hit Box
Unlike everyone else here, I loved this controller. I've probably had it for a year now and i still love it. I wish they didn't discontinue it, i'd buy another one
I have 3 of the Vantage controllers since release in 2018.. no issues what so ever still using them currently. I may buy a few used ones for parts just in case since they discontinued the Vantage
I bought my Scuff Vantage 2 controller May 29th, 2020 and just yesterday August 4th the controller has fully malfunctioned. I paid over $250.00 for this controller and right out the gate the USB mode wouldn't work properly. Here is a laundry list of issues that I have:
- It would take 30 minutes to get into the USB mode if you I wanted to use it wired. I get a flashing white light which I presume indicates that the controller is charging however you cannot use the controller. After about 10 minutes the flashing white light turns off and then you can use the controller in USB mode.
- The original concave thumb stick rubber has fully flattened after exactly 2 months of use
- Bluetooth mode ( wireless) automatically stopped working even though the controller shows that it is connected to my PS4.
-Stick drift kicks in massively randomly after 5 seconds in bluetooth mode then fully stops working.
Listen the controller when working is amazing. The feel and various functionalities makes playing a game easier. It can definitely give you an advantage so I bought it with the attitude of "if I like it keep it and if not ill give it back. For anyone that is seriously looking into purchasing this product just know that these are common issues atfter researching online on redditt and different forums.
What has made this tougher with Covid the is the company is taking no calls. I have been forced the email them about my issues and I hope they get back to me on time. From reading online it seems like they take there time and getting a fresh controller in your hand can take up to 2 months now. All in all I think $250.00 is to much for the lack of quality and durability you get out of the controller.
I hope this helps whomever reads this!
Peace
I couldn’t agree more
I’ve had the vantage 2 for over a year and a half and the USB port on the controller is garbage if you aren’t careful when plugging it in
I really don’t like the fact I have to have it wired to use a jacked in headset.
Wdym?
Hyper Wavez I can’t have my scuf on Bluetooth and have a wire headset jack in at the same time.
@@ScoodyxBoo I also just learned this yesterday. Think need mixer/amp
I had the vantage 2 for 10months now. And the wired usb connection is horrible. You are right... the controller did not last a long time. Very disappointed
I have a scuff vantage 2 since release I take excellent care and play little more then your average gamer one paddle broke and right now I have mix match thumb sticks because one broke paddles feel way more smooth on strike pack when GameStop opens got a warrantee will be getting a brand new one and probably trying the impact soon
can you swap out the sticks for drifting issues like the whole module
No it isn't. Bought one in January, thumbsticks were worn after 2 month. Left thumbstick issue prevented me from sprinting. Back paddles are super uncomfortable and not practical unless you have really long fingers. I came from a Razer Raiju which I loved but had left thumbstick issues with. Tried Nacon Revolution, Astro C40, Razer Raiju, and now Vantage 2. I'd recommend the Astro C40 or a Dualshock 4 with a back button attachment. Also interested in seeing reviews from the Thrustmaster eSwap, coming to the US soon.
Yeah the thrustmaster looks kinda weird to me to be honest, but I’m with you for the C40 and the back button attachments being the best
where can i buy one I've been looking for it for a while and everywhere it tells me that it's not available :(
Probably local gamestop
I believe they discontinued the vantage line
I have a vantage and impact and I love the impact more but unfortunately my R2 trigger is broken and cant be fixed due to covid 😢😢 I only been having it about 2 Months
Much appreciated advice. Can I ask what controller you would reccomend out of every single kind you have had? It almost seems like any controller you purchase has a short lifespan. So which do i get!
Just bought one new today . Tried updating the firmware as instructed but the installation kept saying they couldn't detect my remote .
How? They’re sold out constantly
James Sweeny check your local GameStop’s I got lucky and found one near me
Are SCUF controllers just modified Sony controllers, or do they use proprietary parts? Is the reactivity time between button press (or stick movement) to on-screen action any lower or higher? Or is it just the design and extra functionality that make these any different?
DO NOT BUY THE VANTAGE 1 OR 2. I bought the first vantage for PS4 because I like the xbox variant (I'm used to it from 360). I had it for 2 weeks and was experiencing all kinds of problems. First the thumb-stick drag, second you can only use a headset in a wired variant, third it will shut off randomly when using wired connection if you tilt the controller down. SCUF replaced my $200 controller once, but the same issue happened even after firmware update. The controller is made super cheap and SCUF will not offer any help on fixing the issue after a couple months. It makes zero sense that a standard PS4 controller can handle a headset while wireless, but a $200 controller can not. These controllers do not last more than a 2-3 months. I tested out different controllers in between matches and the vantage has a delay. I do get the feeling that my movements are altered(lagged). All in all they released these controllers unfinished, and other SCUF controllers work well in a professional setting.
My joysticks are slowly going out small drift in right one and left one stops sprinting constantly
I think something is going on with ps4 controllers. Even the sony dual shocks are having drift and sprint issues.
I have the vantage one and Its a great controller after the update. I just went to order a new one to have a backup but apparently scuf no longer sells or supports the vantage cant even get accessories for them now. I tried getting a hold of scuf to get details but no luck so I guess the next controller will the c40
they’re sold out everywhere that’s why they’re unavailable. scufs are in high demand right now
man thats sad... i hope they make an impact pro with sax buttons, i prefer the ps4 stick layout
@@user-ft3qs9yv3d nope. discontinued. they dont even show them on the website. corsair mustve saw the issues. i thought it was fixed with the vantage 2?
@@extranosense9553 i just sold my scuff bought a standard ps4 controller and bought a dawn remap and the clicky trigger kit from extreme rate on Amazon its cheaper and feels so much better than scuf
I had some problems with the xbox elite controller both the D pad and right buttons end up breaking on me
But what really got me was when it came to the triggers Yes they felt solid but when you have your left hand so high up on analog stick you just don't have that full like squeeze of the trigger it is feels off
Yes the Scuf Vantage 2 isn't very much different besides a better d pad that has better grip longer triggers that have a nicer feeling but they do feel like you Accidentally break them
But the main reason why I got with scuf vantage 2 was There were better fighting games on the playstation 4 and scuf vantage 2 has what I needed
I just got a scuf vantage 2 how much is a scuf vantage 2 worth cause i won mine
I'm using the Scuf Vantage 2 for Call of Duty Modern Warfare, wired, no vibration motor and I'm loving it. I also own the Astro C40, it feels amazing but I give the edge to the Scuf Vantage 2 cause of the extra buttons.
understandable! it definately does has a lot of functionality that no other ps4 controller matches
Hey Omar any advice for the sensitivity and deadzone for the control?
@@nicolasalvarez5884 for the Sensitivity and dead zone for the Scuf Vantage 2, I didn't adjust neither at all. I just updated the firmware and that was it. Now for the Astro C40 I did adjust the sensitivity a little bit high for both R1 and R2 (zoom and shoot).
I want to buy one of the two, but I don't know which one for play fortnite and warzone which recommends broh.
I can’t find scuf vantage 2 anywhere do they stop making it?
i think
Your the best review 👌
Is it worth buying this year did they fix all the bugs and updated it or nah
I wouldn’t buy a scuf personally. They don’t last.
Hey man, great review on the Vantage 2. I have been wanting to get one for a while now but you've got me worried about the durability! Is this one starting to show signs of wear already? Thanks!
I don’t use it anymore, just reviewed it. I’ve bought scufs in the past and the build quality is not great, when you have one in hand you fully understand but it’s hard to explain because it looks good on camera
@@TooMuchTech That's too bad. I was hoping that it would be something that would last at such a high price point. I've watched some of your other videos and you make a ton of great content. Is there any chance you would want to do a review for us too?
What kind of camera u use for these videos?
Sony A7S 2
Mine broke within 3 months and the paddles broke and the wired stop working worst 200 dollars of my life
Mine stopped working😭
mine only works in wireless mode now and its input delay is horrible wireless
2:08 they aren’t weights they add vibration but you are right they are pretty heavy
Yes. Lol.
I have a scuf vantage 1, within 3 months I started to experience joystick thrift and it sucks
ElNikoGamu connect to your PC simple fix with Scuf software
EPI Bureau I’ve done it 3 times already, it doesn’t work
ElNikoGamu did you try the firmware upgrade. I was having trouble with the software. But the firmware program did work.
EPI Bureau i did bro, :c
Ok so I need some help. I don't know shit about gaming whatsoever. I bought a used PS4 and I have this controller. How on earth do I get it to work?!
You probably need to charge it, and then it may need to be readded to the bluetooth devices. You should probably buy a normal Dualshock 4 if it doesnt have one of those as well
Can i switch out the left stick for a Dpad to play games?
Nope
@@TooMuchTech damn smh
I was thinking about getting the one with 2 paddles
yeah the infinity i had one
Does anyone know what happen to the vantage 2? Sold out or gone?
Sold out until Co-shit19 ends
discontinued
These are sold out anyway...
I thought u said you were done with scuf controllers
For the revieewwww brother, trust me I’m not keeping it lol. More of a PSA
Too Much Tech I just bought the power a fusion Xbox elite controller cuz I watched your review of those controllers
Is the pad worth it ?
Edit:like claw players ?
The whole point of this controller is so you don't have to do claw lmao
Please review the nacon revolution unlimited pro
How’d you know that was next
Too Much Tech damn! You’re awesome brother! Can’t wait for that review! Wish you could also make videos ranking the ps4 and xbox controllers you have! Stay safe and awesome man! 👍🏼😎
I’ll give you the quick version my bro: 1.Wolverine TE > Power A Fusion pro > Xbox Elite S2 > Scuf Prestige > Scuf Vantage > Nacon Rev the newest one. In that order 😂
Too Much Tech damn that helps. I was planning to buy the nacon or the raiju for my ps4 though since it’s the only ones available here in the Philippines 🇵🇭. Which of the the two would you recommend since you already have both of them. Will buy the one you pick hahaha much thanks
@@macaronin19 I would buy the raiju over the nacon 120%
Scuf vantage 2 is garbage for 300$ mine stopped working properly after the first few days and nobody from scuf will get back to me. I'm currently playing with my stock ps4 controller again
return it and call your credit card company
@@TooMuchTech I bought it from the source and they told me I need to return it to scuff but scuf will not return my emails or phone calls
The scuf impact is much better tbh
why so bro ?
I was expecting the same quality of materials from the elite series 2 .. but it was not so the materials feel very very very cheap like the impact a total disappointment whit the scuf VANTAGE is garbage compared with the elite Series 2 of xbox.. but the life go on..at least I have the same feeling of comfort from the elite SERIES 2 on PS4 Whit trash quality but almost the same feeling..
Right lol ALL the Xbox pro controllers feel much better
Fuck This Controller My Paddle Button Gave Out After A couple Months Doesnt Let Me Run Twitches wen i run on cod

This controller looks like an xbox controller
ASMR
I like ir
Wow a 3rd party Playstation controller that's not absolute shit "That's Rare" because there'slitterly to many to count since Sony will slap there Logo on any peice of Garbage . And ha absolutely not surprised its entire design is based around the Xbox controllers design which Sony has now copied for the PS5.... ( 😲 surpised) ...... (🤣NOPE NOT SURPRISED ONE BIT ). The controllers still awkward feeling while finger cramp inducing.
Bro @5:43 it's not the (Xbox "pro" controller) it's not Playstation. Playstation uses pro , Xbox uses ELITE.
It's the "XBOX "Elite" Controller... Beyond Pro .
But I'm just messing with you .
The Xbox Elite V2 controller is by far "The Best Controller In The World" Which has a Fantastic Ring to it when paired with "The Most Powerful Console In The World" XB1X & XBSX
nice controller i have not play ps in lone time umm 98 lol wow very long lol
lmao i feel that for sure
U look cute no homo doe
Heady on sticks 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Scuff is trash lol I'm sorry but the customer service is horrible and controllers break too easily.
Eexxxxxxaacctttlyyyy
