DualShock 4 Back Button Attachment - PlayStation 4

Works great

With this attachment; you are able to map two programmable buttons to paddle buttons to the back of the controller without disabling the buttons programed.Able to program any button the duel shock controller except the share and touch pad buttonVery ergonomic. Takes a while to get used to if you never use a controller with back paddles before.This makes it more convenient when playing first person shooters where you don't have to move your thumb off the right thumb stick to press the jump button throwing off your aim (especially in games that has double jumps, slides and/or jet packs).Good for RPGs where you can map any of the D-pad buttons for item use, or other special abilitiesFor racing games you can buttons to shift gears or use weaponsOr if you don't like to use claw method when holding the controller (for L2, R2); it's more ergonomic to use this attachment.There's no input lag when using.Able to use this wirelessly.It uses the controller's battery. Has same battery life as if you were to use controller regularly without attachment. Unless you keep touching the LED program buttonsLED is not on all the time, only on when you need to adjust somethingNo need to plug into PC/laptop, or go into Ps4 settings to map buttons.Tap the LED on back to change up to 3 profilesHold to go to edit/map button screen, cycle through buttons you want with paddle buttons, then click LED to set. Single button mapping only. Not able to do multiple inputs, or turbo functionality.To physically install align audio jack and pres in. Once in, it fits like a glove.Button has good click to them. Not too loose and not too firmThere's an audio jack pass-through for those who use wired controllersIt does have a little weight. When attached will weight about same as X1 controller with batteries insideIf you use dock charging stations, some 3rd party ones where you dock from bottom may get in the way with attachment onMay not fit some 3rd party controllersIf you're looking for a more comfortable gaming experience, or one that gives you a slight advantage when gaming it's a very good purchase. Way better than purchasing a $100+ controller* with back paddles.*Note that some of these $100+ controllers may have extra functionality such as swapable/modular thumbsticks/D-pad with sensibility adjustments, extra padding on grip, able to program multiple inputs into one button, more than 2 paddles, etc. But if you just want back paddles on your controller without the other extras it's a very affordable.

I'm just purchasing a second one since they're on sale, and since I'm not sure if these will be discontinued any time soon. While I plan to eventually upgrade to a PS5, the Dualshock 4 is my go-to PC controller, and likely will continue to be even if I discover that I can get the same functionality out of a Dualshock 5 - mainly because the DS5 costs $70 and has features that aren't likely to be compatible with many PC games, if any.The buttons are clicky. They're easy to reach, but I should mention that you don't want to map anything to them that you're going to have to rapidly press over and over. Being located where it is makes it difficult to spam very fast. Nothing to do with the product - this would be the case with a Scuf controller as well.It's very easy to quickly remap the buttons, as well as to switch between profiles. The screen makes it helpful, though it would be even more helpful if it appeared on the front, so as to be able to switch on the fly without having to turn the controller around. It's a very minor gripe though, and not worth taking points away, at least in my opinion.This is a fantastic solution for someone looking for a poor man's Scuf. It's even better in a way, as it's not only far, far cheaper to buy this and a DS4, but because it can be easily switched between controllers. When something goes wrong with your controller, instead of dealing with Scuf customer service/repair and/or buying another outrageously expensive controller, you can just replace the DS4 and throw this attachment onto it.NOTEThere is a very, very slight delay with its button presses. I didn't even notice it for months, until I tried to use it while playing a specific Overwatch character and tried to pull of a specific move that requires very specific timing, where two buttons need to be depressed at exactly the same time. I noticed that when using the face buttons, I had no problem performing the move, but that when I used the back-button mapping of the same face button, I could only successfully execute the move if I pressed the back-button very, very shortly before pressing the appropriate shoulder button. I'm talking a matter of milliseconds. The delay won't be relevant in almost any contexts, but it is there, and so I think it's worth mentioning for anyone considering this attachment.
