DualShock 4 Back Button Attachment - PlayStation 4

This is an amazing little attachment! But just to be clear, it does not add extra buttons. It simply let's you map 2 already existing buttons onto the buttons of this attachment, like the directional buttons which are often used in games and force you to take your fingers off of the joystick. I was a little skeptical at first, but it fits into my hands as I'm holding the controller pretty naturally. I usually hold my controller in 1 of 3 slightly different ways and they're all more or less useful or made redundant using this device. You can set up to 3 profiles, which means by double clicking the center button/screen on the device, you can switch between pre-set button configurations. You can also delete these profiles if you only want to use 1 or 2 configurations. As a side note, I use the GameFreak controller grips for my controller. It did look as if this device would fit perfectly with them, but I ended up having to unwrap and cut off and small section in the back of each side. The attachment has a weird way of being connected to the PS4 controller and the male ports on the attachment are actually designed to flip back up into its default position if pressure isn't being applied to hold it down. After unwrapping my controller, it was still somewhat hard to connect the device. It fits snugly and firmly to the controller once connected though. I'd definitely recommend this device to any serious gamer! I can't believe I haven't heard about it until now!

I got a $10 discount from Amazon for pre-ordering the back button attachment. However I would have bought it for $30 as well. Although I wish Sony had an equivalent of the Xbox elite controller, the back button, for the price, does a fine job. There are 3 different programmable modes for the back buttons and it's very easy to configure. The buttons themselves have good tactile feedback and have enough resistance to prevent accidental presses. Initially I was disappointed in the purchase because it made the controller feel awkward. However, in a couple of days I got used to the new grip. I've configured the buttons to operate as the X, O buttons and have noticed a substantial improvement in my movement speed and crouch/jump controls in Modern Warfare. If you are the kind of person who normally places their index fingers on the triggers, the back buttons can also serve as useful R1 and R2 buttons. The only drawbacks of the back buttons are that the installation process is a little awkward. I kept worrying that I would break the 3.5 mm jack while installing them. I also wish that they came with 2 additional buttons so I could program the triangle and square as well. I would have been willing to pay more but understand that others might not feel the same way.

While it does add a small bit of weight, it is a great attachment for the controller. Been using it for a couple months now and it helps me a lot in games like COD and DBD, making my movements much smoother since I don't have to always take my hand off the right analog stick. In terms of feel, it honestly feels just right. It's not hard to press the buttons but it is an adjustment at first as I did find myself accidentally clicking the paddles for a week or two but I got used to it afterwards. After a while, it just becomes a piece of the controller that you hardly realize is a separate attachment. To change what button the paddles are mapped to is super simple and I never found myself accidentally changing the button mapping. Overall, I would say if you play shooters or games with heavy combos, then you will definitely find this a great buy. RPGs not so much. Good to have regardless though.

It A Good Back Button Attachment. It Was Just A Bit Too Bulky For Me On The Back. It Takes So Getting Use Too. But It Has A Good User Interface. Good Build.

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 button Very 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 abilities For racing games you can buttons to shift gears or use weapons Or 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 buttons LED is not on all the time, only on when you need to adjust something No need to plug into PC/laptop, or go into Ps4 settings to map buttons. Tap the LED on back to change up to 3 profiles Hold 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 firm There's an audio jack pass-through for those who use wired controllers It does have a little weight. When attached will weight about same as X1 controller with batteries inside If you use dock charging stations, some 3rd party ones where you dock from bottom may get in the way with attachment on May not fit some 3rd party controllers If 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 was skeptical at first given the independent feature to customize the button functions, but after reading the directions that came with the paddles, it was very easy to handle. I do have to warn future purchasers, if you set any of the 3 profiles to zero function, it does delete the profile entirely. So you can with that delete all ability of the paddles. However the paddles do come with a "reset to default" feature that overrides any customization. Simply by holding all 3 buttons for 5 seconds. Easy fix. The paddles themselves also do NOT act as a seperate keybind. You have to map it to any of the 16 presets on the Dualshock 4. i.e. X, O, R1, L3.

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. NOTE There 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.

Bought this when I had to send my Scuff in for repair and played with it for a few months. Overall it worked well, was easy to set up and use, and fit comfortably on the controller. Buttons on rear require a bit more pressure than the Scuff back paddles - but due to their position on the controller it’s more of a squeeze of hand than pushing a button. Great option for casual gamer or someone who wants to try out back buttons before investing in an expensive elite controller. The upside to this attachment over elite controllers is that it can be transferred to any PS4 controller, so when it’s time for a new one you don’t have to repurchase.

Están bien padres las palancas, muy cómodo y funcional este accesorio.

This is sooooo well made, easy to use and adds that next level to gameplay without dropping $$$$ on a Scuff or other 3rd Party controller. Sure you need to modify your grip a little but once you play with it after a few days it's all good. Smaller hands may struggle a little, but otherwise I totally recommend this accessory.

Es un buen producto, en un primer momento no sabía si resultaría útil pero me ha sorprendido gratamente. Muy útil, 2 o 3 días y te adaptas perfectamente a las palancas traseras se configura muy fácil y para mi es muy útil en varios juegos. Lo único el precio está un poco elevado. Pero dada la poca disponibilidad de este producto lo he pagado y no me arrepiento. Me ha resultado muy cómodo y fácil de utilizar.
