I don't see myself getting one in the near future, but scalpers are already at it:
I like it so far, but my brain is definitely not wired for it yet. I can see the value though once you get used to it.
It's been hard for me adapting to using it in Horizon as it's a game I've already put a lot of time in. I think I might have an easier time using it for a game I'm just starting out on.Same, really hard to re-learn how to play videogames :D Had the same when i transitioned from the pad to an arcade stick for fighting games.
Also i can´t seem to press L3 anymore to run in COD without pressing the back button, can´t find any solid footing to hold the pad in place with this so have to use the leftside button for L3 now. It´s more comfortable than clicking the stick for sure though.
Semi-casual, works great in Siege by binding L3 and R3 to the buttons to enable quick leaning without compromising the right stick movement while aiming.
I asked this in the other DualShock thread, but this one appears to be more active. Anyone get an adapter for all controllers they own or did you just buy one and swap out when needed?
I just bought one and will probably just swap it out to another if I ever need to.
I just bought one. The only time I need two controllers is for couch co-op and I don't "need" the back buttons for that.
One of the reviews mentioned something about being able to better move around the camera while swinging through the city in Spiderman. I am really intrigued by that.
If you map a paddle to the X button (left paddle by default) then you can perform the jump boost and point launch without taking your right thumb off of the camera button.
I use an xbox elite a LOT, so I am used to hitting the extra buttons. With that in mind, I bought one to use with Destiny 2, and just found it slippy and uncomfortable (bear in mind, I already find the ds4 controller small and uncomfortable for my hands)
Before I give it over to a friend, I am going to try putting something tacky on the buttons to see if that changes the feel enough, but for me it's a miss.
Oh the other reason is, why the hell is there no integration in the OS? I want to assign a button to a trigger/button and NOT have the trigger still do an action.
I absolutely love the paddles on the Elite but I'm not a huge fan of these so far. The Elite's are very low profile so it doesn't really change anything about where my fingers sit; these bump out just far enough that it feels like I have to slightly adjust my overall grip on the controller to have my fingers rest on them.
I could definitely see a DS5 with built-in paddles being a bit more comfortable.
That would be for the Back Button PRO.Too bad its only 2 paddles not 4. Would have been great for style switching in devil may cry
I got a couple ideasI just got this today from my local Best Buy. Does anyone have any profiles to recommend for Souls games?
I got a couple ideas
Left and Right for Weapon Switching
Down and Square for item use/healing
Up and down for Magic/Heal switch
Just off the top of my head
When playing a Dark Souls game with my Elite controller on Xbox One or PC, I generally really like having a paddle set to for [Circle] to run and a paddle for [L3] to jump and I think it makes tricky parts that involve jumping much easier and allows you to sprint around a boss using a backbutton while still being able to keep the camera on them. (probably made easier for me though, since I assign them to my usual "jump" and "sprint" paddles).I just got this today from my local Best Buy. Does anyone have any profiles to recommend for Souls games?
For Elite controller users who love using the paddles, how well does this translate? I feel like this should make games like Bloodbourne and Nioh much more enjoyable to play.
I had the same problem. My solution was to map L3 to one paddle, and null to the other. Now it doesn't randomly click an important button when I set the controller down. I just switch to another profile when I actually need it.I'm really liking it so far. My only (small) gripe is that you can't remap both buttons to nothing. I wanted to make a functionless profile that I could switch to for games where I wouldn't really want back buttons, but mapping both buttons as null just makes that profile disappear. :(
I would have loved one, but i see a MAJOR negative/downside.
And that is the fact this attachment covers up the charge port next to the 3.5mm jack.
The very same charge port the OFFICIAL Sony dual charging station uses....
An hour of battery life? Damn. The dualshock battery life is garbage as is.
