Furthermore, you can save and choose up to three different profiles for use in various games and there is also a headset pass-through for connecting any 3.5mm wired headset to the controller.
• Developed by PlayStation: The product is tested and approved for all of your favorite PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR titles, and is built with the ergonomics of the DS4 in mind.

The Back Button Attachment launches in US and Canada on January 23, 2020, for SRP $29.99 USD, $39.99 CAD, so make sure to pick one up if you're looking to play and compete at your best.

Why a screen lol

 

[kingwingin]

Lol

 

[Gavin Stevens]

Haha... Wat?

I mean... that's one way to do it, sure...

 

[ManaByte]

Battery life reduced to 1 hour.

 

[The Elite]

What?!

What?

Why?

What!?

 

[Sp3eD]

So the screen is there to suck additional power from the controller why?

could have literally just put the config in the PS button hold down menu on screen.

 

[Max_Po]

OLED SCREEN, 30 US ?

Well SALE PLUS 2

Dualshock 5 beta testing.

 

[Kagero]

That came out of nowhere.

 

[Hideous Snake]

If this isn't the stupidest thing I have seen recently. UNNECESSARY! Go on and concentrate on the DS5 ffs. Like if any of us actually needs more shit to suck the fuck out the battery

 

[Nightrunner]

Looks like Crazy Ken is back. All kidding aside I hope this means the DS5 has paddles.

 

[Max_Po]

map l3 and r3 to save your sticks. PS5 is a full year away. ...

 

[Mattyp]

We'll, I've been waiting for my Chinese knock off PS4 elite here it is.

 

[The Cockatrice]

I can only assume the DS5 will have this by default so in order for everyone to have it they made one for DS4 as well....!?!? I can't think of any other logical reason. The display is fucking retarded tho.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

This is some Ken Kutaragi shit.

I'm down. This feels like a forward compatibility thing tbh.

 

[Spukc]

What the fuck is this garbo hahaha

 

[Katsura]

This is Tim Cook level of stupidity

 

[Gavin Stevens]

Yeah, I'm going to say the PS5 pad may just have some sort of back buttons/paddles based on this.

That would be another new thing the pad has, versus the next to nothing the Xbox one has.

 

[Spukc]

They even state...

Sleek design... my sides

 

[Agnostic2020]

They even state...

Sleek design... my sides

It is sleek though. Useless but sleek lol

 

[Dibils2k]

from the front that looks like a little penis sticking out between the legs

 

[Spukc]

It is sleek though. Useless but sleek lol

Dude look at the ergonomics on the back
Holy shit

I guess sleek = the screen?

 

[Agnostic2020]

from the front that looks like a little penis sticking out between the legs

Our DS4 is growing to become a man . aww

 

[Firestorm ZERO]

Why is the screen in the back? Wouldn't it make more sense to put it in the front so you can see the remaps by just looking down?

 

[Boss Mog]

Fucking amazing. I've wanted back buttons for a while now and have no desire to invest in a pro/elite controller.

Good job Sony, don't listen to the Debbie Downers over here.

 

[Business]

Looks like Crazy Ken is back. All kidding aside I hope this means the DS5 has paddles.

First thing I thought as well. DS5 has this by default and this is the way to upgrade your DS4's for PS5.

 

[VertigoOA]

Stupid. Just stupid

better off getting a legit esport pad for the same amount of money as this dual shock 32x cosplay.

 

[Kagero]

Fucking amazing. I've wanted back buttons for a while now and have no desire to invest in a pro/elite controller.

Good job Sony, don't listen to the Debbie Downers over here.

Jealousy is an evil thing

Honestly thought, the thing is a little silly looking. First thing that came to mind is the infamous line," Squeal like a pig", line in deliverance lol. I'm actually excited for this as long as Sony prices it right.

 

[PropellerEar]

Pretty cool add-on, just worried for battery life.

 

[Musky_Cheese]

It would probably be a sweet accessory if it wasn't for the already poor battery.

 

[VertigoOA]

First image of DUal Shock 5

so a ds4 with this bulky piece of shit added to it will run up to 100$. You can get a Nacon Pro v2 that's infinitely superior for under 90$ And not a frail, cheap feeling turd of a pad like the standard ds4.


stupid

 

[Grandmaster Hash]

I like it

 

[Mistershine.]

Greatness keeps waiting, it would appear...

 

[Fake]

D dark10x come here nooooowwww.

 

[OmaeWaMouShindiggity]

Love the fact they are looking to make an elite controller, love the idea, hate the final implementation.

 

[Breakage]

Just when you thought the DS4 couldn't get any uglier.

 

[Quasicat]

Why is the screen in the back? Wouldn't it make more sense to put it in the front so you can see the remaps by just looking down?

This was my first thought.

Also, I tried using the paddles on the Xbox Elite controller, and I hold it in such a way that I kept hitting them by accident. Hopefully if this is a preview of the DS5, I hope the paddles are removable.

 

[Gamernyc78]

Ohhh I luv how Sony keeps evolving and innovating the controller. This is probably to keep the old controllers compatible with what is to come in the PS5. Dual shock in general is the best controller.

 

[CyberPanda]

You guys are really mean to Soyny

 

[GenericUser]

Fucking amazing. I've wanted back buttons for a while now and have no desire to invest in a pro/elite controller.

Good job Sony, don't listen to the Debbie Downers over here.

Agree, I might consider picking this up. A big improvement for shooter players.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Adding an OLED screen is an even dumber idea than adding a light bar. How many times you're going to use it? When you set up your shortcuts for the first time?

 

[PuppetMaster]

Spoiler: WUT?

Day 1

 

[ethomaz]

How wants that?

I even having a hard time to think about some persons with disabilities that needs that button.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

Back buttons and triggers are great so you can't knock them for trying at least!

 

[Boss Mog]

Agree, I might consider picking this up. A big improvement for shooter players.

Yeah I definitely think this will help my Apex Legends game. Being able to crouch while shooting without taking your thumb off of the right analog stick is a huge advantage.

 

[01011001]

Battery life reduced to 1 hour.

what do you mean by "reduced to"?

 

[Alexios]

And an OLED screen at that. What the fuck were the designers high on when they made this. I can see the buttons being something like a cheaper alternative to elite type controllers with paddle crap without having to buy a whole new controller but why a screen on the back ffs?! LOL.

 

[Gamernyc78]

Adding an OLED screen is an even dumber idea than adding a light bar. How many times you're going to use it? When you set up your shortcuts for the first time?

Watch it eventually be copied then for many it'll be the best thing since sliced bread (here's looking at you share button ).
