No that question was answered a while ago
Hmm... I like the idea of back buttons but I would have preferred an official native option like the Elite Controller.
I guess at least there's some kind of first-party thing doing this kind of thing for Sony now. I mean there's all sorts of third-party controllers with back-inputs.
Baby steps, right?
I'll be getting one (if I don't buy a "Corsair SCUF" first. Which fat chance since they're so expensive lol)
I think I take exception to "Its sleek design," though.

Agreed I guess. Four back inputs feels like minimum to me.
Can't release a revision of the DualShock 4 with better battery life for six years, but they put R&D into this?
Come on, Sony.
Hope this finds an audience, but I just don't see it happening.
It's a pretty odd design.
Hopefully, this'll be a more fluid addition to the DualShock 5.

I'd way rather have a $30 USD thing that works with the controllers I already own than spending $180 USD on a new controller that's incredibly hard to find.
This is hilarious. That OLED screen is overkill and will drain the battery even more. Makes me wonder if the DS5 will come with those buttons by default though and this attachment allows DS4 controllers to be used with the PS5.
I had to double check to make sure I wasn't looking at a good fake video lol. Hmmm comes out late January and we expect the PS5 reveal to happen in February. Hope this means DS5 will have these by default.
I mean, paddles are a game changer on the elite so glad DS4 finally gets them, but the screen being there is really confusing.
Yes why not release a 180 dollar controller instead of a 30 dollar attachment for something everyone already has?
Th
I think most mean build in back buttons / paddles. Not an add on to the DS5. My money is on that DS5 includes back buttons by default.
A monochrome OLED screen is the right choice here. The price difference will be minimal at this size and resolution (the OLED might even be cheaper as it doesn't need additional lighting), and it just looks better and more modern.
There is absolutely no reason in the world to release this now unless it's because the DS5 has them built in.
As everyone pointed out, the screen seems super unnecessary. It's still cheap enough that I'd buy one to try it out though.
also I hope it isn't forward compatible. DS5 should be USB-C and ideally come with back paddles by default

Why a screen on the thing? Just unnecessarily increase the price. A relatively cheap paddle option is welcome, the only cheap alternative I'm aware of currently requires taking apart your controller and DIY.
I think compatibility is a good point, althougth timing for this isn't really that great. Now we have to see how the DS5 looks like.
Already confirmed to be usb-c with the last wired article
It's usd30 which I think is pretty cheap
Why have the screen? Or if you have it when not keep the button on the back but put the screen in the front so you can see what mode you're on
