Even now, availability is spotty at some stores. We’re posting this review today, after five months of regular use, because retailers only just started to restock the device over the past week. Sony initially launched the DualShock 4 Back Button Attachment all the way back in January, but the accessory sold out after a few weeks and was almost completely unavailable for several months. Because the device is so minimalist, it’s highly affordable-at $30, it’s multiple times cheaper than most pro controllers, even factoring in the cost of a DualShock 4 itself.Ĭrucially, it’s also available.

The idea is to give you quicker or more convenient access to inputs you frequently use in certain games. But it does add the most immediately useful piece of any enhanced controller: two mappable rear paddles, which can duplicate any pair of buttons on the DualShock 4 proper. It doesn’t have “ hair trigger locks,” interchangeable joysticks, or many other special features.
