I was looking them up after the impressions but unfortunately they're part of Sony's "make the Germans bleed money" strategy which I notice more and more often recently. €40 compared to other international prices? Fuck off with that, Sony!
I found it strange they got it as an exclusive. Has the price changed? I pre ordered yesterday for £25.99
Yeah, I'm waiting for more battery life impressions.
Wow, i was just about to check them out but this is an instant deal breaker...I was looking them up after the impressions but unfortunately they're part of Sony's "make the Germans bleed money" strategy which I notice more and more often recently. €40 compared to other international prices?

It's the Apple tactic of dollars = euro + 20%Okay what the hell, does anybody have an explanation for this? o.o
I wouldn't take that as a proper indication on it being that bad. IGN gave no indication on if that number was properly tested for. Don't let that dissuade you and wait for someone to properly test for battery life.Well this basically kills it for me, sadly. The DS4 already has incredible bad battery life and i don't even play that much.
Looks like it will keep break compatibility with my controller charger which is the only downside. Will likely get two of these. One for my PS4 controller and one for the DS4 I use with PC.
So the controller doesn't even turn on when I use this thing?
Agree. We don't know the context of battery life in that review. Was it mostly messing with configs, constantly using the screen, etc.I wouldn't take that as a proper indication on it being that bad.

At least one review said it does and it sounded almost seamless. One said they had some issues at first.
Why wouldn't it? Your PC is just thinking your pressing the mapped button. It's not as complicated as some of you make it out to be.
Just pop it off or connect your controller via USB. Think it's probably better to just attach a cable, in order to avoid the connectors to wear out.

Someone will do a more detailed battery life test.

Just hearing it does work on PC, which is why some of us were saying that's why the screen is there, sounds great. Should be very lil compatibility issues with PC.
Are paddles not allowed in fighters? Arcade sticks have 8 buttons and fighting games allow the assignment of button combination macros. Why would paddles be a problem?Thank you very much, I just brought one for each of my controllers.
Wonder if paddles will ever be allowed in fighters though...
Nobody uses right stick as sequential?? :(
You can't be serious right? What games do you play?
Shooters: reload, jump, melee, switch weapons
RPG's/loot games: loot (this especially, with games where you have to perfectly stand in front of the stuff you want to loot), dodge, parry, sprint
Action adventure games: stay in full control of the camera when platforming
Racing: shift gear up/down
Or in short: every single game with free camera on the right stick, greatly benefits.
Because all the configuration is local to the device, yes, it works wherever the DS4 works.So this attachment works with the DS4 in all situations? Using it on the Switch, PC, and PS3?
It's GAME exclusive unfortunately. £25.99 on their site.
I feel perfectly comfortable already doing all of those things already though.
Most games have like 0.5 seconds after pressing a button before pressing the same button does anything. That's when I move the camera.
Ah, haha, you're right. I suppose that's too much wishful thinking on my part. Still, it sounds very useful. I just need to find a big enough reason to warrant a purchase.No it doesn't. That would be silly.
This thing just "tricks" the controller in thinking you're pressing the original button, while you're not.
For me personally it doesn't work with fighting/melee based games, because using my thumb for that, feels more natural. I use my FPS Strike Pack in The Witcher 3, for example. But only for looting stuff, sprinting and and riding my horse + some addition commands that require pressing square. When Geralt enters battle mode, I just use circle and square on the face-side.

Really hope the DS5 comes with them by default too, it would be such a game changer and it's pretty exciting to think about.
Anyone try this with FFXIV?
I'm curious what possible applications this could have, especially if it can map keyboard commands or macros.
OHH. I totally misread your post! Thanks for clearing it up!What do you mean? I meant to say the face buttons just keep working. So yeah, you have 2 square buttons for example.
It cant map keyboard commands, just controller button.Anyone try this with FFXIV?

I've never played 14 on consoles or a controller, but I could see the paddles being great modifier buttons in an MMO. Not sure if 14 can be mapped appropriately for that or not.
Paddles for pros :p

It doesn't look like there's a pass through or whatever, and I'd assume the difference in shape would make it not fit in those kinds of chargers anyways.Does this block the port of the bottom of the controller?
I ask because I use this docking station to charge my controllers.
It would be a minor pain if I had to remove the attachment every time I wanted to charge the controller this way.
