The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/xboxone\/comments\/3adppp\/xbox_one_elite_vs_scuf_infinity1_buyers_guide\/\" target=\"_blank\">Xbox One Reddit<\/a> had a great deal of information to offer.<\/p>\n<p>So firstly, let&#8217;s get the price-point difference out of the way.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_78396\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/maxresdefault-e1436606085298.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-78396\" class=\"size-full wp-image-78396\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/maxresdefault-e1436606085298.jpg\" alt=\"SCUF Infinity1\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-78396\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Check out all of the customisation possibilities! Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/scufgaming.com\/scuf-infinity1-your-scuf-your-way\/\" target=\"_blank\">SCUF Gaming<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The SCUF Infinity1 is currently predicted to start retailing at a price of \u00a0$119 (R1,482.27) with other packages to follow possibly.<\/p>\n<p>The Xbox One Elite controller will retail at around $150 (R1,868.41) and will include everything in one package.<\/p>\n<p>Please remember that both of these controllers will have South African import duties and taxes applied to them, which will increase their price significantly.<\/p>\n<p>So now let us focus on the key differences between both controllers.<\/p>\n<p>The Xbox One Elite controller allows\u00a0for all buttons to be remapped to your liking. The\u00a0SCUF controller will not have this functionality.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T2w_wrF65sU\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>However, \u00a0the SCUF Infinity1 will have the capability to remap paddles. Bumpers and face buttons will be remappable with the Xbox One Elite, and will use an app for this functionality.<\/p>\n<p>The Xbox Elite stores up to two profiles on the controller, and it can instantly switch between both. The SCUF does not have a second profile setting.<\/p>\n<p>In regards to trigger stop technology, the Elite controller has a\u00a0built in switch that enables and disables the trigger. The SCUF will be using its\u00a0current technology, which means manual removal of its handles\u00a0to enable and disable the trigger stops.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wJAix3h-1DM\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The SCUF can also change the depth of the trigger stop with a small Allan-key. The Elite controller has\u00a0this built it in and its changeable.<\/p>\n<p>The Elite controller&#8217;s analog sticks are built with stainless steel while the SCUF will use Infinity1 Rings.<\/p>\n<p>According to SCUF, their analog sticks will be fully removable and customisable, and will be made of high grade self-lubricating materials to provide a\u00a0pro-grade finish offering with improved smoothness\u00a0to the feel of the\u00a0sticks.<\/p>\n<p>With D-Pad customisation, the Elite controller will have\u00a0replaceable D-Pads, while the SCUF\u00a0Infinity1 does not list this as a feature. You&#8217;ll pay extra for SCUF&#8217;s\u00a0version, which is a circular pad without edges like the Elite.<\/p>\n<p>Stick sensitivty can be customised on the Elite, while this is not possible on the Infinity1.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, SCUF controllers ship with minimal options. Yet this could change prior to the\u00a0Infinity1&#8217;s launch.<\/p>\n<p>Another difference to consider is customer support. IMicrosoft has a strong presence in South Africa with direct representation and SCUF is not as significant within South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>This could mean a great deal to local gamers, especially when your expensive controller breaks for whatever reasons.<\/p>\n<h4>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/xboxone\/comments\/3adppp\/xbox_one_elite_vs_scuf_infinity1_buyers_guide\/\" target=\"_blank\">Xbox One Reddit<\/a><\/h4>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More Microsoft Goodness<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/xbox\/77354-microsofts-e3-2015-press-conference-highlights.html\">Microsoft\u2019s E3 2015 Press Conference Highlights<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/77732-microsoft-release-these-games-to-xbox-one-first.html\">Microsoft: release these games to Xbox One first<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/77918-microsoft-sets-its-sights-on-amd.html\">Microsoft sets its sights on AMD<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft takes on the current gamepad champs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":224,"featured_media":78398,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[13780,14732,3180,1085,14730,14728,243,10065,14726],"class_list":["post-78394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-xbox","tag-controllers","tag-customisation","tag-feature","tag-hardware-2","tag-scuf","tag-scuf-infinity1","tag-xbox-2","tag-xbox-one","tag-xbox-one-wireless-elite-controller"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/224"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78394"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78394\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78400,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78394\/revisions\/78400"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
