FEATURES & BENEFITS

We've created the most versatile controller ever — optimized for comfort and ergonomics to suit your hands and game style. Reading this manual for a few minutes will help you discover the power you now own.

PADDLE CONTROL SYSTEM

(P1, P2, P3, P4)
Paddles allow you to utilize more of your hands, shortening the response time in between performing actions.

• Any of the four paddles can be mapped to buttons or controller functions, including the triggers and Touch Pad click. For more information, see the "Remapping Switch" section.
  

Adding, removing, replacing or customizing your paddles:

• To remove a paddle: slide up, twist slightly and then lift.
• To replace a paddle: twist the paddle into the paddle cavity from the top, then slide it down to secure it into place. You will hear a "click" when the paddle is secured.

SAX BUTTONS

Sax Buttons can be easily accessed by extending your index finger. Sax Buttons offer intuitive access to the sides of the controller, reducing the travel of your fingers between the buttons.

• Either of the Sax Buttons can be mapped to buttons or controller functions, including the triggers and Touch Pad click. For more information, see the "Remapping Switch" section.

Adding, removing, replacing or customizing your Sax Buttons:

• To remove a Sax Button: lift from the bottom up.
• To replace a Sax Button: press from the top down.

REMAPPING SWITCH

The Remapping Switch on the rear of the controller takes your gaming flexibility to the next level allowing you to configure the Paddle Control System (P1, P2, P3, P4) and Sax Buttons (S1, S2) to fit different games.

You can easily remap any paddle or Sax Button to one of the following fifteen functions: , , , , Left D-pad, Right D-pad, Up D-pad, Down D-pad, R1, R2, R3, L1, L2, L3, or Touch Pad click.

• Slide the Remapping Switch to the right (to Remapping mode).
  
• Press and hold the paddle or Sax Button that you intend to remap, and simultaneously press and hold the controller function or button that you want to map it to.
• Release the button or controller function, then release the paddle or Sax Button.
• Slide the Remapping Switch back to the left (to Play Mode).

Note: Paddle or Sax Button mapping can be cleared by remapping the button to the Share, Options or PS Button.

TRIGGER CONTROL SYSTEM

Reduces latency, allows you to optimize the triggers to eliminate unnecessary movement and accommodates different hand sizes. The Trigger Control System consists of three modules: the Adjustable Hair Triggers, the Quick Shift Trigger Stops, and the Interchangeable Trigger Covers.

ADJUSTABLE HAIR TRIGGERS

You may want to adjust and fine-tune your trigger tension to reduce latency in trigger pull for faster response time. We recommend adjusting the Hair Triggers in-game by tightening until the in-game action is initiated, then loosening off slightly to your playing preference.

To use your Hair Trigger feature:

• Lift the lip of the Trigger Cover straight up to separate it from the trigger body.
• Insert the SCUF Key (0.9mm) into the adjustable screw.
• Turn the SCUF Key clockwise to tighten the Hair Trigger. Then turn the SCUF Key counterclockwise to loosen the Hair Trigger.

To return to standard Hair Trigger operation:

• Insert the SCUF Key (0.9mm) into the adjustable screw and turn counterclockwise until the screw is flush with the top of the trigger body.
• Replace the Trigger Cover by pushing the trigger down and snapping the top part of the cover on first, then push the bottom of the Trigger Cover down to snap it in place. You will hear a "click" when the Trigger Cover is secured.

QUICK SHIFT TRIGGER STOPS

Trigger Stops are designed to reduce trigger latency by eliminating the travel required past the activation point of the trigger. Use your fingers to adjust the Trigger Stop position on the trigger. This feature may not be compatible with all games, and is most efficient in shooter games.

• "ON" position: the travel distance when releasing the trigger will be reduced.
• "OFF" position: the trigger will have a standard travel distance.

TRIGGER COVERS – SHORT OR LONG

Trigger Covers are fully removable and easily clip onto the trigger body. They are designed to let you access the Hair Trigger for fine-tuning and to improve your trigger accuracy and hand comfort. The Long Trigger Covers extend the natural parameters of the controller to suit larger hand sizes and have a rubberized grip for added control.

To remove the Trigger Covers:

• Lift the lip of the Trigger Cover straight up to separate it from the trigger body.

To replace Trigger Covers:

• Replace the Trigger Cover by pushing the trigger down and snapping the top part of the cover on first, then push the bottom of the Trigger Cover down to snap it in place. You will hear a "click" when the Trigger Cover is secured.

CUSTOMIZABLE THUMBSTICK AREA

SCUF Thumbsticks provide a larger surface area for thumbs to grip for improved accuracy and control. SCUF Vantage includes multiple length and shape thumbsticks which are interchangeable so you're able to select the thumbstick that best fit your hand size and gamestyle.

To swap thumbsticks:

• Remove the faceplate by lifting it from the controller chassis using the two finger notches on each side of the handles.
• To remove the current thumbstick, lift it off the thumbstick shaft.
• Align your selected thumbstick with the thumbstick shaft and press firmly to secure.
• Align faceplate with the controller and push to secure. You will hear the magnets "click" into place.

Note: The tail of the SCUF logo on the thumbstick should be positioned at the bottom left once the thumbstick is in proper position.

ANTI-FRICTION RINGS

The Anti-friction Rings can also be swapped out or replaced. These rings are made with high grade self-lubricating materials to provide a pro-grade finish, so the thumbsticks glide on contact.

To swap the rings:

• Remove the faceplate by lifting it from the controller chassis using the two finger notches on each side of the handles.
• To remove the ring, push it from the inside of the front faceplate until release.
• To place a ring into a faceplate, push it into place from the front side aligning the teeth.
• To place the faceplate, align it with the controller and push to secure. You will hear the magnets "click" into place.

INTERCHANGEABLE D-PAD & CONTROL DISC

The D-pad helps access a single direction bias more quickly, reducing the distance when alternating between the thumbstick and D-pad. With the Control Disc, you can transform the D-pad to a Control System similar to a thumbstick and improve the comfort of D-pad use, making it easier to activate diagonals.

To install Control Disc:

• Pull the D-pad away from the controller and position the Control Disc instead. The magnets in the Control Disc will hold it in position.

To remove Control Disc:

• Pull the Control Disc away from the controller.

Note: The tail of the SCUF logo should be positioned at the bottom left once the Control Disc is in proper position.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

INTERCHANGEABLE MAGNETIC FACEPLATE

This allows you to customize your controller's style. It can be removed by lifting the controller chassis using the two finger notches on each side of the handles.

REMOVABLE VIBRATION MODULES

Removing the Vibration Modules will significantly reduce the weight of the controller and turn off vibration in the handles. These modules should be removed based on player preference.

AUDIO TOUCH BAR

This feature enables you to quickly access your audio settings. Swipe left to lower volume and swipe right to raise volume. Hold the Audio Touch Bar to mute your headset microphone.

Note: Vantage's audio functionality compatible in Wired (USB) mode only.

3.5MM AUDIO JACK PORT

For your headset to function properly, your headset must be equipped with a 3.5mm jack plug.

RESET BUTTON

Positioned beneath the faceplate, on the right side, the Reset Button can be pressed using the SCUF Key (0.9mm) provided.
