#Gaming on a mac versus pc 2016 windows 10#
While Windows 10 includes support for Xbox One and Xbox 360 wired controllers, it doesn't natively support wireless controllers. We invented several key features to achieve this objective and have since been granted over 17 patents with another 38 filed."Īll of that started, though, when Scuf's Simon Burgess hacked together a custom controller using switches and his daughter's hair clips to add paddles to the back of his over-the-counter controller.
Our objective was to rethink how controllers were being used and offer hardcore and professional gamers more functionality through increased hand use and reduced latency.
With billions of dollars being spent by game developers, we felt a 'one size fits all' model for controllers was outdated. " We felt there was a gap in the market for professional controllers that enabled hardcore gamers to use more of their hand in an ergonomic way. " Before we founded Scuf Gaming 5 years ago, third-party controllers were more about offering a cost effective controller option or a controller with cosmetic enhancements," said Duncan Ironmonger, CEO and co-founder of the controller company. Now some of the best gamepads on the market come from companies that specialize in peripherals. Gone are the days when a third-party controller meant something gaudy, cheap or both. As some PC gamers have grown to accept, and even embrace, the idea of playing a computer game with a gamepad, the options for those players have blossomed.
