The OLED screen for it seems like overkill but having to only spend 30$ for back paddles instead of buying the ridiculously priced SCUF’s or something is pretty good.

$30, 16 possible mapping functions for 2 buttons, 3 different profiles. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49229848926_83a2e0732f_k.jpg

Not a bad hold over until the DS5

That's great considering Scufs tend to break quite often. Hopefully this means the PS5 controller has back paddles built in.
