The PS4 DualShock 4 Back Button Attachment is Back in Stock

Sony’s PlayStation DualShock 4 Back Button Attachment is ideal for gamers that want a pro-style controller but balk at the prices of third-party options from the likes of Scuf and Astro. The Back Button snaps on to your existing controller, adding two extra customizable buttons that can map up to 16 different actions. An integrated OLED display is included that provides information about the button assignments. A third button is dedicated to remapping the layout on the fly, and you can save these custom configurations to three different profiles to suit your needs across various games. There’s also a pass-through for the headphone jack. These features combined with the affordable $29.99 price tag have made the back button super popular, which is why they’ve been difficult to find lately. Fortunately, there’s been a restock – but it won’t last long.

At the time of writing you can grab one here at Best Buy, and here at GameStop for the standard price. It’s also available here on Amazon (backordered).It’s a pretty great deal for an official Sony product that does a lot of what the pricey pro controllers do for a fraction on the price. What’s more, reviews of the PS4 Back Button Attachment have been overwhelmingly positive. You can take a closer look at the features in the video below.
