PS4 Back Button Review [50hrs Later]

- The PS4 Back Button attachment has been out for a while now. After more than 50hrs using it, here's my review.
I've been using it with everything on my PS4 in the past 5 - 6 weeks and I have some pretty mixed feelings about it. I think it's a well-made product but it's certainly not for everyone. If you're looking for an inexpensive controller mod that is easy to attach and adds a couple of extra buttons, this would be worth considering.

It’s a huge advantage for some shooters imo. If u play games like Fortnite or COD then yes it’s definitely worth it.
Agreed
Y
Does it still work after these years?
Excellent video ! You made some good points. I'm actually quite happy with the back button attachment, it serves my needs.
Can we add another macro button different from convensional button?
That glass case does a really good job of giving a nice setting, in that one shot with all the remotes
Yeah I thought so too :)
Keep it up bro loved the vid and subbed
Great review :)
A man of your presentation and production value should have 100K subs minimum. Hell, you put more effort than a lot of 1M+ guys anyway (watched your stuff since 2012, keep it up).
Thanks man, that means a lot!
Yeah your production is great
Been here since cod vs cod days and havent even played cod in 4 years
@@pyramidhead0420 Thanks. I still play COD but less interested in making videos about it these days.
Never heard of it or used it but now i may get it .it's game changer no pun intended. Thanks for the review.
Certainly gives you an advantage in some games and it’s cheap!
Just wanted to say I love the quality of this video ill check out more stuff from you!
Cheers!
I use this EXACT song in some of my videos. Epidemic music is the best. Great review, man!
The best!
Very good review
Underrated CZcamsr! Love your work.
I do what I can!
Thanks man, nice break down. Gonna pick one up
Good luck!
this was very informative tanks😊
Nice just answered all the questions I had
Great Review.
Thanks.
Thanks!
Thank you for the review, got one on the way now👌🏻
How is it?
@@traderboi3954 it is what you’ll expect it to be I got mine from some friend with a controller for a 35 dollar bundle and it’s worked flawlessly!
@@midlakjs nice im going to buy one!
Got this on Easter and for $30 this thing is really nice, never used paddles before so it will be a grind to get used to it but this is a much better idea than going straight ahead and buying a $300 controller that hopefully will last, this attachment seems like is pretty durable... maybe considering the fact that it is pretty chunky but yeah for $30 USD/ CAD this a definitely worth it
Does it still work after years of use?
@@ethanos__ still works without issue, idk if it works when the controller is plugged into / connected to a PC or PS5 tho, meaning if you’re gonna be using this for PC and it doesn’t work I’d honestly rather just get a cheap-ish third party controller with paddles
My only issue with it is that some grime can get underneath the paddles themselves 😅
This is with an educated guess of 3,000+ hours of use 💀
Also* due to the general bulk and extra weight of the device it can feel uncomfortable at first… but you’ll get used to it rather quickly
Ok thanks I usually wash my hands before playing so probably fine
I have big hands and it fit perfectly with my hands so if you have smaller hands get the wired one because the button are smaller and can fit smaller hands
Late to the video but I happened upon this whilst looking into buying this product as a late christmas present to myself using some money I got from my uncle. Top level production and lovely clear review. I have used a strikepack for a while before it started glitching and stopping me from using the R2 trigger whilst it was connected which, given I use it almost exclusively for competitive FPS games, is quite a large issue. Hoping that this will be perfect for my needs and won't mess with the default unmapped buttons given its offfically licensed.
I’ve never had issues like you’ve described with the back button so hopefully it’s what you need.
Yo I’m thinking of buying one for cod, how is it working for u so far ?
@@4ever167 Honestly, if you don't mind a little DIY modding then I'd say the extremRate Decade mod kit is a better buy for the money.
Does it still work after years of use?
When he said scuf and 600.00 dollars i lost it lmao I was done right there🤣💀👌🏾
Welcome to Australia
Nobody wants a scuf that is slower than an actual ps4 controller. And it'll break within a year
@@PovElijah a year? Me and my cousin each had one and believe me when i say we took care of it....... lasted a good 2-3 months🤣🤣🤣
whenever i use it and plug in my headphones to it’s jack it always makes the sound come out from just one side of the headphone
Hi there,i have just ordered one of these and was wondering if you can program R1+O to the same button,many thanks and new sub here from Scotland.
You can't program multiple button commands unfortunately. Only single button remapping.
@@goukigod Thanks for reply
This video is underrated!
I have a problem where my headset audio is extremely terrible when connected to my controller through the button attachment
Apparently, the back button is near impossible to find at the moment and prices on eBay are just plain silly!
Here's my advice, If you can't get it at regular retail price don't pay extra. It works fine but it's not worth more than $50 (AUS). If you are thinking about spending more, I'd recommend looking into either an extremeRate DIY kit or even a modded controller like a Scuf.
Bought one on aliexpress for £30, came with chinese retail box but, works perfectly. Agree that it does take time to get used to and was actually regretting the purchase at first but slowly getting used to it.
Got mine for $10 on GameStop
I’ve used strikepack paddles and even Scuf Paddles & those felt super comfortable to me. I recently got these paddles bc my strikepack ended up having disconnecting issues & man i cant get used to this back button attachment. Something about it in my hands just doesn’t feel comfortable. I don’t know how to explain it, it feels a bit bulky and awkward while i play. Maybe i need to play with it a little more but i didn’t have an issue when i was playing with the strikepack paddles or even the scuf infinity 4PS pro paddles. Overall, great video!
Could just be muscle memory for the other solutions making it hard to transition
So far no problems with it, I love it. My destiny gameplay gotten so much better, I recommend!
this seems perfect for a game like death stranding. thank you for such a great video!
Your vids are great btw I was going to buy this so how is the back button attachment soo far I
To be honest I don’t use it much anymore. I’ve been using an extremeRate modded controller. I still chuck it on every now and then and it works fine but it’s a pain to take off and put back on.
Great product presentation, subbed. Unfortunately this type of back button is very hard to find, old stock cost just about the same as the controller itself.
Thanks! Yeah seems like the production run was short. Hopefully they release something similar for the Dualsense
Can you still use a mic with it on?
I’m gonna try to get my sister, she wants to play apex with me but her mobility is not that great. I have had the strike pack for 2 years now and I love the paddles. Also can you use the PlayStation back button wireless? Cause you can’t on the strike pack
Yes it’s completely wireless
Do you use the middle fingers for the back button? I tried the same but when I want to press R3/L3, I accidentally press the back button as well. Tried with the ring finer and I didn't have problems anymore.
I press with my ring fingers but I don’t think there’s a right or wrong way. Whatever works for you.
New subscriber
quick question can you map 2 buttons to one trigger e.g X+O to one paddle?
Nope
Question: how is it to use if i normally have 4 fingers on my triggers? Im thinking of getting one of these but i normally have my index and middle fingers on the bumpers and triggers, so how would i be able to hit the buttons?
Ring fingers
What do u actually have with this thing
nice review i have a battle beaver which costs me too much. i love the damn controller but the right thumb mechanism was broken after 10 days playing. ( they say mechanic issue ) i picked this up for my back up controller until i have my battle beaver back. by the looks of it its going to work fine for me as i only play cod. cheers
Yeah man, those custom controllers can really cost a bomb!
I also had a battle beaver I just sent back due to a weird issue where it would look up or down without me touching anything. Brand new controller and wasn’t stick drift as no dead zone helped and was straight vertical no horizontal. I just picked up this back button for now and it is pretty good just a little bulky which makes the controller feel different.
how long did it take for you to get your battle beaver back? my r2 digital tap trigger went out and there was slight drift on right analog. i just shipped it out, and in the mean time i ordered one of these paddles. so questions how long did it take to get your battle beaver back? and how was the paddles compared to the battle beaver back buttons?
@@gideonengelhard3919 hey man how long did it take to get your battle beaver back? and what did you think of the paddles? compared to the battle beaver back buttons?
@@austens1708 hey man took about 4 to 5 weeks to get it back. its working fine now but to be honest i switch it up with a different controller so they all stay alive longer. cheers
By any chance Can I disable the real r3 when remapping it to a back button?
not using this attachment, no
Can you use a wireless headset (usb dongle) with this setup?
Using the back shouldn’t change what headsets you can use.
Can we connect our headphones to the back button?? Pls I need your help
Ye
Yes
It's actually surprisingly high quality however kinda bulky. The first weekend I used it I was so hyped and didn't notice but it started straining my pinky on my right hand kinda bad had to stop gaming for 2 days it's feeling allitle better I've used a regular ps4 controller for like 5 years no problem I think I'm just gonna go without it for now untill I can try something else. Be careful if your hands are large and check if ur grip is straining ur hand in a different way they with reg controller. Because it all caught up with me and really hurt my hand
I just think it takes a while to get comfortable with, particularity if you've been using the stock controller for years.
@@goukigod makes sense maybe I was also gripping allitle 2 hard
Can you put a controller skin on it please help can’t find one
I haven't tried but I doubt it. The back button is a very snug fit leaving no room for anything inbetween the controller and attachment.
I have a charging doc and I got one is it okay that I take it off every time I have to charge it ?
Sure. It’s just a pain to do it every time and it does create additional wear and tear on both the adapter and controller
@@goukigod i remove my back button a lot. But im having a problem i keep getting blue screen asking who is using this headset (i plug my headset through my usb). I feel it might be from removing it so much
Just got mine yesterday I’m not too sure if I like it because I accidentally press the buttons
Give it time. It takes a little while to become accustomed to them.
What’s your cfn let’s play some street fighter!
Super underrated comment incoming...
I just want this attachment to remap the L3 and R3 so I don’t experience joycon drift so often.
Yea same I'm constantly pressing L3 for sprinting and it really sucks
I think mapping the sticks is one of the biggest advantages of this product
@@goukigod I can't believe how hard they are to find in stores @-@
@@gentlemansoup They came out at a weird time. Sony should have had these out a couple of years ago. Maybe they were just testing the waters for future products or maybe they don't think there's enough of a market for them. The latter doesn't seem true though as they've basically been sold out since they were announced.
Got one of those starting 2021. Hope Sony makes a new one for the DualSense.
Kinda op not gonna lie
Then... Does it support v1 controls? Please respond, I'm dying to buy it.
V1 controls?
How do u take them off
pull it away from the controller.
After using the attachment for a couple of hours it feels really bulky. That might be because of my hand size but I was wondering how long it took before you ‘mastered’ it? Great Review BTW
Probably only a few hours although I have previous experience with other pro controllers. I’d say it will start feeling normal when you adjust to using the new buttons without thinking i.e. as long as it takes to build basic muscle memory
But u cant talk to ur friend bc U dont have a mic
So the ? I have is dose this have any built in cheat because after using mine for 4-5 months I’m now being called a cheater and hacker in cod Cold War and warzone / is there any way for someone to find this information out dose it have cheats because I don’t want to be banned in the only fun game right now
No, nothing like that. You can play the game with scuf pads etc so you wont get banned for using this.
@@goukigod ok thank you
200 for a scuff or this attachment for 25 quid - means when the controller goes you just put this on your new DS4. no brainer till the same attachment comes out for the PS5
Does it support the 3 punch button (square+ triangle + R1)or 3 kick button( X + circle + R2) for Street Fighter 5?
Yes
When I have the back button plugged into my controller it interferes with my Astro a50s
In what way?
@@goukigod when I have it plugged in it makes my friends like echo in my headphones
@johndeer gaming Hmm. I haven't had that issue although I've had something similar happen with a different adapter. I managed to fix it by making sure it was pushed in firmly
@@goukigod ok ill try that to see if it works
@@johndeergaming4313 did you manage to get round the interference, I’ve got Astro a40s and kinda want to buy this
Man I just picked this up at walmart off the clearance rack for $5.
how was it??? easy to get used to? what did you think of it?
Pressing the d Pad isn’t as easy on ps as it is on Xbox. The way the Xbox Controller is set up is more favorable imo
WTB for PS5.
Just randomly found this at Walmart. I play a lot of warzone so I figured I'd try this out.
Hows it treating you? I just picked one up at target today..
@@kumamakanui1514 eh. Not a fan so far.
@@Shane101A any update ?? planning to use for warzone aswell
@@aidenrose1834 I hated it. It just got in the way.
@@Shane101A sorry to hear that. i’m on the way to target to pick it up right now 😂
Lol I'm getting 1 now so I thought I would watchsom vids on it
Yep I use Paddles
Does it have a late response time tho?
No. No latency.
@@goukigod thank you for the response👍😁
It’s covered in the video bruh
Just bought a set for Warzone. I thought I'd instantly be better but I've had to completely re work how I think about every input. It's like I'm learning how to play all over again. Also my fingers are pretty long and I grip my controller pretty tightly I guess so I end up hitting the buttons with the middle of the digit instead of the pads of my fingers which gives me a lot of accidently presses. I need more practice I guess but after one 3 hope session I'd say I've gotten worse not better
How are you liking them now? Just got them for warzone but still getting used to them and I have the same (pressing it with the middle part of my ring finger)
@@Reyalegro definitely got more use to them. I don’t get accidental presses anymore. Jumping is easier for me than using the crouch button since I have X mapped to my right button and I’m right hand dominant. I still have to play more in order to get some of the advanced maneuvers down consistently
@@CS-wn2sz Yeah I also have X on the right one but currently nothing on left because it feels awkward. I play tactical flipped so I am used to sliding with R3
@@Reyalegro yeah maybe I’ll try that. I can bunny hop while firing okay rn but my left hand is still not quite as nimble so I have a tendency to come out of the ads when I try to drop shot. I don’t play as much as I’d like but I want to get good enough where I can combine the bunny hop with the drop shot
@@CS-wn2sz Yeah I hear you man, left hand is harder xD
I don’t like how it looks at the bottom of the controller to be honest
At least u don’t have to look at ur controller while playing tho
que tal te va
estoy bien
@@goukigod como te funciona el back button?
Imagine it works with a ps5 controller to. I do play a lot of ps4.
I wouldn't count on that. It's moulded to very snuggly fit a dual shock 4. My guess is it won't work with the new controller.
@@goukigod that’s why he said “imagine”
@@izavy_5520 😂😂😂😂😂
Im buying this as a overwatch tracer main so i can spam crouch and spam emotes to be as annoying as possible.
Sounds like a plan
OK !! $19.99 CAD for this !!! It's a no brainer !!
I NEED A PS5 BACK BUTTON ATTACHMENT!!
My money says there’s probably one in the works. Either that or some kind of official pro pad
@@goukigod im sat here playing ps4 while my ps5 is there switched of.
Pleaseeeeee just bought mine yesterday was very excited to get it and P3 disappeared and don’t know what to do please help
Just do a reset and it should fix it.
Is the mic bad
It doesn't have a mic?
goukigod I mean for the port
@@axid0_0 It's just a pass-thru. I haven't tested it extensively but it works as expected.
Is it only me or does the oled screen get scratched easily?
Fingerprints yes. I haven't had any issues with scratching but I'm VERY careful with all my gear
@@goukigod I scratched mine by mistake no biggie
Is there any difference in the headset’s mic or audio quality when using the attachment?
@@thmas1001 nope not at all why?
@@gas4gears I heard that some people had that problem when they used it
you did Bennet Foddys getting over it didn't you?
wat?
Make a link to the product and make a little side business .
Main problem for me is that it came years too late. I'm already looking at the next generation consoles so I'm not investing in this for a couple months of play. If it came out years ago I would have considered it.
Certainly is strange timing. Again if this is a test then they probably aren’t super concerned with turning a big profit. From what I understand they’re hard to find so it seems like they have found a market.
I wouldnt even call these cons but aight
Super uncomfortable for those who doesn't have patience not a way to go.
True, although I think that if you haven't used any paddles in the past that all products like this will have a steep learning curve
I very much agree with you sir.
I do suck after using it haha. You're not gonna learn to use it fast, that's for sure.
I feel the same way dude
They take time to master
I got it for 5 bucks😂
WANNA PLAY MGS 2 HD, THE PSVITA VERSION; BECAUSE TOUCH CONTROLS SUCK AZZ!!! 😲😲😲
Dose the back button need to charge
No. It piggybacks off the controller’s power.
@@goukigod where do we plug in our headphones, cuz it uses our headphone jack
@@Chesscovery there is a headphone jack on the back buttons as well
@@mustansirrr thanks
Whatt 600$ ? lol
Yeah man. A fully pimped scuf including delivery to Australia is bullshit expensive
