Tears of the Cows 1,250 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) So essentially an elite. Solid, but I’m sure it’ll be overpriced. also, the paddles.. it says replaceable, but are they removable? I’d assume so, but there are some scruff controllers that don’t allow this. Those suck are there only two paddles on this? I used two for a while but finally got used to four, four is superior. Edited August 23, 2022 by ghostz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I came and saw your post the two lower pictures weren't working for me either. I went to the link again, and noticed that the images had changed from black backgrounds, to white now. Maybe they changed them for some reason or other. Or are they still not working for you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Substatic 422 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 hmm interesting i was about to buy a controller for PC maybe ill wait for this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remij 4,746 Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 It looks good... I like the touch pad being black, should have been like that with the original. Also, they missed the perfect opportunity to fix the start/select buttons. They should have been slightly bigger and more protruded. I hate them on the original DS controller.. and they look to suck here too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. House 3,371 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 What are the fucking things on the back and at the bottoms? More triggers? Are you fucking kidding me? What in the flying fuck is this trash controller and why would anyone ever need this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are you fucking kidding me? What in the flying fuck is this trash controller and why would anyone ever need this? The things on the back are 2 paddle buttons. The things on the bottom are quick release mechanisms for the analog stick modules.. which you can swap out for new ones if they have any issues.

Do I look like I want to go on a kayak trip? And replacement parts on a controller is the gayest thing I have ever heard. Instead buy the cheaper controller and if you're too dumb to break your triggers then buy another one. Jesus christ. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They’re back buttons that can be mapped to be another (existing) button. for instance when playing a fps and let’s say X is jump, you have to take your thumb off the right stick, which means you can’t aim. Now you can keep your thumb on an analog and hit jump at the same time by using the paddle (button on the back) that being said, Sony half baking as usual and only providing two paddles….

Two paddles is the right choice. They did it for a reason, and it's not because it's half-assed. It's that essentially nobody uses all 4 paddles on the back of their "Pro" controllers. 2 of them usually always get in the way and are accidentally pressed. On my Elite 2, I've detached 2 of the paddles because 4 is simply too busy and there's mis-clicks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At the end of the day you're still playing a fps with a pad like a dumbass. I use my thumb to reach the spacebar. It's amazing, it works every time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is still half assed, they could have gave you the option to use four. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shooting games or games where aim is required are obviously what these are geared for though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you can't do what you need to do with 2 extra back button, lower the difficulty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
