#VANTAGE XBOX ONE FOR MAC MAC#
One is by running Windows on your Mac using Parallels and the other is via an app called OneCast. If you're really willing to change up how you play games and rebuild your routine, this might just be the controller for you, but if not, the price might be too steep.If you want to play Microsoft Xbox games on your Mac there are two easy ways to do so on your desktop. That said, its a judgment call on if I will get enough use out of the paddles to really justify the purchase, and that's something you really need to evaluate before going all in. I kept my controller plugged in, for the most part, so it would be the $169.95 model for me.
The core model costs $169.95 and the wireless model costs $199.95, and that's a rather high price. The value here is having an Xbox style controller layout on a PlayStation 4 and being able to cater the controller to my comfort and style, with the added bonus of the button mapping and profile managing app. To me, the value is there, but it's not because of the extra buttons. Some of that is muscle memory, obviously, but even after a while using the new setup, it still didn't feel like second nature, and I found myself accidentally hitting the face buttons in dire situations.ĭon't get me wrong here: depending on the game, you'll definitely see some improvement by remapping, but it never feels like you couldn't live without it, and some will see the price point as too high for something that isn't essential. The paddles are very responsive, but, at times, having one assigned to a priority button like X doesn't quite feel as responsive as just hitting the X button. Having four extra paddles and two side buttons presents a variety of possibilities, but you might need to dig a bit to find the one that makes your gaming experience better than the standard setup. Once you get everything the way you like, it's time to actually play, and this is where your mileage will vary.
As someone who prefers the Xbox thumbstick layout, this was a dream, and getting to switch out the thumbsticks (I prefer concave for movement and domed for camera) and triggers (I prefer the longer triggers) was a big part of the controller's appeal. The customization doesn't stop there though, as, like other Scuf controllers, the Vantage 2 allows you to switch out the D-pad, the twin sticks, and even the triggers, truly catering itself to your feel and playstyle. It makes the process of trying to find the perfect layout for you a breeze, and the app only ups the ante. Flip the switch back and it's done, and you can do so on the fly with quickness and ease. You flip the switch, hit the button you wish to assign, and then the button or paddle you wish to assign it to. The Vantage 2 accomplishes reconfiguring through a switch towards the bottom of the controller, and the process is straightforward and immediate. Perhaps even more impressive is how easy it is to swap button layouts and profiles.
Scuf incorporates the typical four face buttons with options and share buttons angled at the top, as well as the two triggers and bumpers, but there are also four paddles on the back and one additional mini bumper on either side of the controller, and both the paddles and the side bumpers are completely reprogrammable. The core model is stylish, even without additional colors or accessories, and it's astounding at times at just how many buttons and options Scuf managed to fit into one controller. First and foremost you'll notice how sleek and modern the Vantage 2 looks.
