r/PS5

A new gamepad from Scuf company. I want to talk about the differences between the DualSense Edge and the Scuf Omega, what i like, what i don't like, and probably some personal issues with it (i'll get to those at the end).

Before buying the Omega, i had been using the DualSense Edge for a long time and honestly loved pretty much everything about it. My only real complaint was that i wanted more than just 2 additional back buttons.

i bought the Scuf Omega from their official website for €220, which is almost the same price as the Edge.

Now, there are some differences between the Edge and the Omega.

The Omega has no adaptive triggers and no vibration at all. Honestly, i can't say i miss either of them. Scuf removed those features to make the controller lighter, and yeah, the Omega is really light. Maybe even lighter than the regular DualSense.

Just like the Edge, the Omega lets you adjust trigger stops, dead zones, and other settings. The Edge has 3 trigger stop levels, while the Omega only has 2. The first level is the same as a normal DualSense when basically you are pushing trigger to the limit, and the second level turns the triggers into almost a mouse click.

The Omega also uses TMR sticks, which should prevent stick drift.

The rubber grip on the back feels much more comfortable than the one on the Edge. The entire front faceplate is held on by magnets, so you can easily remove it and swap sticks without taking apart the whole controller.

It comes with 4 back buttons and 2 side buttons. There isn't much to say about the back buttons. For me personally, the back buttons on the Edge are more comfortable. The Omega's buttons require a little more force to press, that's all. The side buttons are actually pretty comfortable and very easy to press. All the buttons (including the D-pad and those on right side) have a mouse click feel, except for the triggers when they're set to full press.

Edge has 4 profiles: 1 standard profile (FN + Triangle) and 3 custom profiles (FN + Square/Circle/Cross). You can create a whole list of profiles for example 10 profiles for 10 games and assign any 3 buttons to the custom 3 profile slots. Omega? (profile button is right under the PS button), and you only get 3 profiles total. If you want to leave 1 profile as a standart, then basicallt you have only 2 custom profiles. Seriously ? They gave us 6 extra buttons but only 3 custom profile slots? C'mon...

On top of that, the PS5 shows a nice UI popup when you switch profiles on the Edge, including the profile name. With the Omega, all you get is an LED color on the controller. No screen notification, so you have to remember which color belongs to which profile. Really? 🫩

Now, i have seen some review videos and noone said next thing.

You CAN'T turn on your PS5 using the PS button on the Omega. Unlike the Edge or a standard DualSense, pressing the PS button on Omega does absolutely nothing when the console is off.

To boot your console you have 2 options:

1. Press the power button on the console.
2. Turn on the PS5 using another DualSense controller, then switch to the Omega (the DualSense disconnects because only one controller can be active at a time).

Scuf support confirmed that u can't turn on your console with gamepad bruh. By the way its a licensed controller that costs €220.

Now for my personal issues with the Omega.

Below the PS button there are 5 additional buttons. Two of them can be mapped to whatever you want, but honestly, i find those buttons pretty useless because of their placement.

The other 3 buttons are:

Mic mute, volume up, volume down And here's where my personal setup might be causing problems.

i don't use Sony's headset. i use: Headset - SteelSeries Arctis 7+ (because sound is WAY better than in Sony's headset). Microphone - Fifine A6V (because mic is WAY better than on the SteelSeries headset lol).

The problem is that the mic button on Omega doesn't mute my microphone and doesn't mute all audio either. The DualSense Edge handles this perfectly tho.

The volume up and volume down buttons don't work for me either. Nothing happens when i press them.

So yeah, maybe it's because i'm not using a Pulse 3D or another Sony headset. Why does the DualSense Edge handle all of this perfectly while Omega doesn't????

That's pretty much all i have to say.

Conclusion: Omega is an okay controller.

i like the extra buttons, the grips, and the swappable sticks. But i genuinely don't understand why it lacks features that even the standard DualSense has. At least it gives you 6 extra buttons to remap... (8 in fact, but as i said 2 of them are useless so basically 6 buttons)🫩🫩🫩

Of course i'm going to keep using it, but im disappointed.

Oh, and the battery life.

i used the Omega for around 5-6 hours and never got a low battery warning from the PS5. So at least from my experience, it seems to last noticeably longer than the DualSense Edge on a single charge.

Any game series you wish would come back in either a sequel or remaster?

Like the title says, I miss the old Rainbow 6. Was ecstatic when I saw Rainbow 6 Siege before realizing what it was.

Suggestions for similar games? Can I play R6 Vegas on the PS5?

I'm frustrated with the hoops and hurdles I need to jump through to find out if a game has local multiplayer, online multiplayer, and whether or not said multiplayer applies to the campaign, a side mini campaign, or just a versus mode.

Let's tackle a scenario where I just want to look through the games I own to play something with my buddy in-person.

For whatever reason, I am unable to filter my Library by the same filters available within the PS Store including "Supported Features", so if I'm looking through my own collection for local co-op, I need to either create my own folders ahead of time or I need to search through the PS Store for the games I do own which is a terrible user experience. And this still doesn't make it clear enough whether or not the games I'm looking at offer a full cooperative campaign or a bonus arcade mode (whether cooperative or competitive).

Co-Optimus is a great resource, but we should not have to use a third party tool for something so simple. Especially since you still run into the problem of filters for consoles not representing what is currently available in a situation where a PS3 game is or is not available for streaming on PS5. It just becomes a game of going back and forth to figure out which games are actually an option.
