Customization Experience

For most hardware we get in at best you can pick from a few colors or one or two variations. But for the Scuf Gaming Reflex they have three different standard models and what we have here today is completely different than all of those. That is because you also have the option to customize your own controller and I don’t mean etching a name or logo into it like it is a new Yeti mug. Even beyond that each of the three Reflex models has a variety of color options as well. The Reflex FPS has 10 style/color options, the Reflex Pro has 12, and the base Reflex is available in 2. That’s a lot of options, but customizing gets a lot crazier from there. You have 16 different components that get to customize and really it is 18 because with each thumbstick you can pick its color as well as select its length and dome or concave top. Some of the options are simple one or two options like having the option to have rumble, the home button which is only available in black or white, or for the bumper/trigger type you can get a standard analog trigger or an instant trigger.

Diving in deeper though other options have eight or more color options for things like the touchpad, the rings around the thumbsticks, and the faceplate trim. The faceplate itself which is the grips on the front of the controller has a lot more than that. You have 14 colors to pick from or 27 different full designs. Some of those are on sale and are no charge. The color options for the faceplate are $14.99 and a custom print is $29.99. A lot of the other options are priced similarly. You can go with white or black for the touchpad for free but the other colors are $9.99. So each adjustment you make starts to add up. Altogether the number of combinations you could put together is staggering as well with all of the options in the 12.7 Trillion range.

For me, going in I was most likely thinking something bright like our orange color which happens to be my favorite color. But once I started playing around with the configurator it was very overwhelming. Interestingly enough even with all of those options, I was also left wishing I could get a few more colors on some of the components. The front grips or faceplates have a few different colors that I really liked that weren’t available on any other part of the controller. Other areas like the back have just black and white and some things like the bumpers had colors but didn’t have orange or pink for example. I didn’t know it was possible to feel overwhelmed by the options while also wishing there were more options as well. I did save some of the pictures of combinations that I considered and I’m going to put those below.
