Sony’s new Back Button Attachment brings customizable paddles to the DualShock 4

• Sony are releasing a $30 attachment for the DualShock 4 controller which slots into the back and provides two extra large buttons. These can be mapped to any of the other buttons on the controller, and could be a (literal) game changer for disabled users who may struggle to use the controller standalone. It’s not being marketed as an accessibility aid, but as a tool for power users to level up their gameplay. Indeed, non-disabled users could find the tactile buttons improve their gaming performance.
• Aside: It’s highly unusual for Sony to release something like this so late in the PS4 lifecycle, which suggests these might work with the DualShock 5 when it comes out.
