Background

SCUF Gaming are market leaders in high performance gaming controllers but didn’t yet offer a customisation application to their customers.

To further enhance their competitive edge in the expanding market, the company recognised the need to develop a customised application for their valued customers.

Customers had much difficulty customising their controllers as there was no UI available and it was purely a mechanical process.

Objectives

To successfully deliver on the requirements set by SCUF, at a high level, the objectives outlined were:

• Build a Windows and Mac native app to customise their controllers, primary the Vantage 2
• Develop a unified API layer to enable interaction between OS applications and their controllers
• Enable application telemetry through web-based services

Architecture

Architect front-end, platform / OS and device layer integrations and communication.

Frontend Development

Manage and support the development team with the creation of the desktop application’s frontend based on the high-fidelity designs.

Backend Development

Platform and system-level design decisions including the strict data requirements and multi-tier API schema development.

Stakeholder Management

Work with stakeholders across the management team to agree on project requirements, build the cross-platform team and deliver the project into production.

Cloud Integrations

Integrating cloud-based telemetry, support, download, updates and more through AWS into the application for a feature-rich user experience.
