It seems like ring finger paddle buttons are becoming a controller staple. I know of these, what are some others?
Clone an existing button only:
- 8BitDo Pro 2 (P1, P2)
- PS4/PS5 controller with remap kit from ExtremeRate (K1, K2, K3, K4)
Treated by Steam as an entirely new button:
- Steam Controller (L4, R4)
- Paired joy-cons (left SL, SR; right SL, SR)
- Steam Deck (L4, L5, R4, R5)
- Xbox Elite (P1, P2, P3, P4)
- Dualsense Edge (LB, RB)
I use a modded PS5 controller on PC. I’ve found for most purposes, clone-binding R4 to Cross/A and L4 to Square/X is good enough, as that allows me to crouch and jump while also running and turning with the thumbsticks. But it’d be really cool if I could remap these buttons steam-side, instead of needing to clone an existing button controller-side.
The Razer Wolverine is by far the best controller I’ve ever purchased. Got it now… 7 years ago and it’s still just an absolute champ. The initial price may scare off some, and the fact that it’s wired, but it’s the best damn controller I’ve ever used.
Flappers are 2 can be mapped to existing buttons (I have mine as up/down on the D-pad), and the other 2 raise/lower sensitivity of the sticks. So I can hold a flapper while sniping to get real precise.
It also has two little toggles on the inside between the bumpers which I have mapped to left/right on the dpad, which is really nice because I don’t have to take my fingers off the sticks, Witcher 3 this is amazing because what’s how you pull out a specific sword.
Cannot recommend more, Razer Wolverine.
