- Responsive Back Buttons and High-fidelity OLED Screen: The two back buttons can map up to 16 different actions such as triangle, circle, R1 and R2 to name a few and provide amazing tactile feedback, so you can jump and slide without missing a beat. The attachment also features an integrated OLED display that provides real time information around button assignments.
- Highly Configurable: A dedicated button allows you to remap back button inputs on the fly, so you are always prepared no matter what game you’re playing. 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 existing buttons still works. This just adds 2 more buttons, which you can program. There are some third party pro controllers with something similar, but they have a paddle shape, which will be much easier to press than this Sony one.so how does it really works? instead of pressing the usual L2 R2 combo, just press the bottom/back of that new device?
I don't know why they put the LED on the bottom, shouldn't it be facing upward so you can see it?
I assume the big round LED is a button that you can click to swap the button assignment (circle through 5 profiles, preprogrammed by you, or something). Problem with it being at the bottom is that you can easily click on it accidentally and you cannot see it without any display facing the player.To place the oled display facing the player may not be aesthetically pleasing to some. Imagine the round display bulging at the headphone jack area and kind of wasting the space behind as well.
But I still agree with you - always have to turn it around to check display is a hassle. Perhaps they should have a mini display at the attachment's small area facing the player or just have the microphone read off the current configuration for player to listen, like (left button: L1, right button: R1) without having to turn it.
Since the design is already fixed, it would good to have the "read off" I mentioned cos they don't already have it yeah?

They said you can assign the 2 buttons to replicate 16 buttons. I hope they actually show what they can be assigned to. If it's just existing buttons, not very useful. I wish it has turbo function and macro function (so you click 1 button it generates a string of buttons).
Yeah, that round button can be pressed and can save up to 3 profiles max. I think the 16 buttons are the existing ones if you count them (incl. Touch pad's L & R, L3 & R3). The back buttons look like they have some resistance (long & thick piece) and have to be pressed with force. Lets hope SONY designs it with the fingers-button proximity in mind else a gg product - Annoyance more than convenience.
Personally, I don't know what I'll use them for except for a more convenient reach when shoulder buttons are a stretch or when 2 buttons are to be pressed simultaneously at the same time. (e.g. Nioh's Living Weapon activation: Triangle + Circle, especially for those whose thumbs aren't long enough to press both together or some odd combo like a Down + Circle when you need to use the left stick to move at the same time.)

Ssd in a ps4 will not make any significant difference according to users who made the swap.Tried changing to a SSD?

Depends on game. Monster Hunter World players have been switching to SSD to reduce the loading time. They calculated that it saves them a few minutes every time they launch into the open world, saving a couple of hours each week.Ssd in a ps4 will not make any significant difference according to users who made the swap.
Hi is it worth to upgrade my current ps4 to ps4 pro? Is it a lot improvement on the pro version?
