Microsoft's Elite Series 2 controllers are divided. For its fans, Elite is the responsive, powerful and premium ultimate first-party controller, but its critics can point out its high price and quality control issues to paint a different picture. This makes Sony's approach almost completely contrary to its competitors and is therefore refreshing. Sony made a 26 / $ 30 back button accessory instead of making a controller with only 160 / $ 180, and only its richest players can justify the purchase price, while the back button accessory is an embedded device that adds premium One of the most important functions of the controller-the programmable rear button-any standard DualShock 4 controller at an affordable price. We've been testing it for the week before the February 14 release, and we think Sony's approach has considerable advantages.
Before delving into the performance of this add-on, let's address the central point of the "Back Button Attachment": These buttons are really useful and worth the extra cost and weight. The idea here is to always keep the most important controls under your finger, even those that are usually tied to inconvenient buttons such as d-pad, share / option or L3 / R3.

Similarly, in Call of Duty, sprinting while holding down the left stick can damage both the stick and thumb, so mapping it to the rear stick will feel more comfortable. Finally, is the best way to shift gears in Gran Turismo with a rear paddle? The more games you play with the jog dial, the more uses you will find-and knowing that you can always rebind the two most clumsy controls is a great comfort, especially when few games provide complete When the control is customized.
