Play Like The Pros: COD Scuf Controller Configurations

Scuf Gaming has revolutionized customizable controllers for console esports, especially for the professional Call of Duty scene, as you will be hard pressed to find a pro player who does not utilize one in competition. Giving players players the ability to customize the layout of their controls, Scuf controllers have become one of the go to pieces of equipment for professional players with each individual having their own unique take on how their controller operates. We were able to sit down with a group of professional Call of Duty players and learn how each of them have their controllers configured. 

Matthew "FormaL" Piper

"I have used a Scuf ever since coming to Call of Duty. I use the Scuf sticks with the left paddle set for A, and the right paddle set for B. I take the right paddle off because I only like to use the left paddle, and I do not use the right one enough to have my finger resting on it, since I accidentally click it alot by gripping my controller very tightly. "

Anthony "Methodz" Zinni

"I use a Scuf Gaming Impact with the Scuf Pro Sticks. I use the left paddle to jump and the right paddle to melee. I also use trigger stops, but not to the point where as soon as you press the button it is automatically going, it is a little looser. I play with the rumbles out to make the controller a little lighter."

Daniel "Loony" Loza

"I use a Rise Impact controller. My left paddle is to jump and the right paddle is set to circle. I use the tactical scheme, so it ends up being my melee button. I also use regular PS4 sticks."

John "Xotic" Bruno

"My controller is about as defualt as you can get. It is just two normal concave sticks at medium length with the back paddles set to X and square. It's just the normal default setup, that's really it. Nothing special."

Lamar "Accuracy" Abedi

"I play with a default controller with the left paddle set to X, and the right paddle set to O. I shoot with my bumpers, and I also use Kontrol Freaks."

With a wide variety of options of controller layots at their disposals, professional Call of Duty players all have their very own unique set up that they feel allows them to perform to their fullest potential. Whether it be for mechanical issues, comfort or accessibility, Scuf controllers have become the favorite among the professional scene of the legendary first person shooter franchise, and with them showing up in full force for the Call of Duty: WWII season, it is doubtful that they will be going away anytime soon.
