PlayStation 5 Controller Upgraded: The Scoop Reflex

Summary

This is a review of the new Scoop Reflex controller for the PlayStation five, which has been in development for months and is now finally available. The controller is described as brutal and well worth the wait, offering significant upgrades over previous models. Key features include four remappable, static paddles on the back, which can be easily customized to any button using a simple button press and hold sequence. Crucially, the controller supports multiple profiles, allowing users to quickly switch between different button configurations for various games. For example, one profile can be set for Call of Duty and another for Apex Legends. Beyond the paddles, the joysticks are also customizable; users can swap them out for different shapes and heights to suit their playstyle. The controller also features a magnetic, interchangeable outer shell, allowing for personalization with different colored casings. Additionally, future versions of the Scoop Reflex for PlayStation five will include digital triggers, similar to those found on other enhanced controllers. Currently, the controller is primarily available in black, with more color options expected in the coming months. Component availability is currently limited, so it's recommended to check the website regularly for updates and limited edition drops. A discount code, 'sinapsis', is offered for five percent off purchases.
