[@Jkillz34]

I heard u can only remap one button at a time to the ps back button. With my striker pack, I can map several buttons at a time to one paddle. Like drop shot or jump shot all in one paddle. Can the ps back button do that or na?

[@LORVCN]

J-Phantom that’s why the strike pack it’s a cheater’s device...you can also have no recoil, rapid fire etc

[@Jkillz34]

@@LORVCN I know, I have it. I was asking if the ps back button can do multiple buttons to one paddle like my striker can. One button drop shot and one button jump shot is worth it.

[@WAZZupbruvv]

J-Phantom on the official Sony paddles can you save 3 mapped settings, and you can only assign each button to 1 setting, I use one as Jump and one as slide and crouch. So I don’t press my thumb sticks to avoid stick drift. The strike pack is cheating because of the mods

[@LORVCN]

J-Phantom basically you can only jump (X) and drop (O) but you can’t have jump shot (X+Fire) or drop shot (Hold O+Fire) if this is what you meant?

Control freaks NEVER go on left stick. They're designed to improve accuracy by slowing your stick speed because of the added height; why would you ever want slower stick speed on the movement stick

There are technically scenarios where that can be useful. Most of the time tho yeah don't control freak your movement stick.

I have an Astro controller and a regular PS4 controller. Gonna be honest... The Astro controller is hands down the most amazing controller I have ever used, and probably ever will use. What it offers is unbelievably amazing. Just save up some money over time and buy a refurbished one for $30 cheaper than a brand new one (they don't make and sell new ones anyway). It has so many legitimately useful features compared to a regular PS4 controller with some accessories attached to it, trust me. This was absolutely worth the $200 dollars and ever since I got one I've been so happy.

[@icepicjoey]

It's important to mention that if you have large hands and the dualshock 4 is already making your hands cramp, then the official back buttons will make it even worse sadly.

[@SweetKytten]

I guess the biggest issue for me is that I do have a scuf controller, 2 of them. I have the impact and the vantage 2 (which was discontinued a year later e.e). I loved them for a while. However the sticks are cheap and wear out after a couple months because it's just crazy cheap rubber. The sticks drift on the vantage and I didn't even have it for more than 4 months at the time. The greatest advantage they can offer is the fact that they have 4 paddles instead of 2. The paddles break because they're cheap, and they still charge a $230-$250 price tag and shipping on them. As much as I loved it, I hate it just as much.

[@DarkIYI]

I like the galaxy control creeks as for me they profit the best feeling and the height on right thumb stick. But that’s personal preference. I will say that the control freeks last very long, I’ve had mine for 3 years ( assuming you don’t throw your controller) and they haven’t lost even a bit of the grip

[@gazb0075]

I’ve tried an endless amount of various thumb grips and I definitely agree that the KF CQCX are by far the best if you’re after a domed feel. I’ve been using them for a couple of years now. I simply can’t play without them. Far better than the horrid original DS4 grips! I really hope they fit the DS5 as I invested in 5 sets of them (in case they ever ceased production).

For control freakz, the thing is, it depends which game you are playing. It helps you do quick and precise snaps on target but tracking with micro adjustments can be more of a challenge. As an Apex Legends player/youtuber I can tell you that control freakz will not be good on Apex since the TTK (time to kill) is very high and requires a lot of tracking with micro adjustments. If you are playing COD games tho, the TTK is much shorter so it is good on that game. On COD, Warzone for example, the one that has the precise first shot on target usually wins so yes control freakz may work there.

Lol that makes zero sense. A taller stick gives you more control to make small aiming adjustments easier. That's why they're called Kontrol Freeks...

[@peppersprayyy]

There were many things you didn't cover that i would like to expand on. For example the strike pack and PS4 will not work out of the box if you wire it up to the PC. You have to install what i call suspicious software and even after you do that you lose the touchpad. Also for people wanting to save money, if you buy a Evil controller or a Battle Beaver controller you can turn you buttons into Tactile or digital triggers and bumpers and use the dual button attachment and not get their paddle system. I fee the Dual button attachment is a superior product to scuff paddles as well. Scuff paddles are garbage. Also the Dual button attachment and strike are not compatible with SCUF controllers as well.
