Neil writes "In a time where the hard money gets spent on professional gaming equipment and modded delights, the humble Xbox One controller is no longer seen as a standard tool. Evil Controllers will happily mod your controller with a new design, some fancy lights or additional buttons, all of which could have a profound effect on your gaming sessions. Fancy taking a look at some of their offerings?"
MP1st talks with Adam Coe, founder of Evil Controllers about custom controllers, why we didn’t see back buttons default on next-gen controllers and more.
Gaming peripheral makers Evil Controller's CEO states why he doesn't think Sony included PS5 controller back buttons by default
"Coe might have a point, as making the DualSense feature back buttons by default might have driven the overall cost for the controller (and the console itself) a bit higher, which Sony doesn’t want to do. Of course, there is the high probability that Sony will want to sell a DualSense back button attachment in the future, which means more revenue for the company."
That it would drive costs up is a given and so to keep it priced competitively Sony would have to have dropped features such as haptic feedback. I'm hoping they do offer the back button option as I really like them on my Elite Series 2, but an add-on is preferable, in my opinion, than losing haptics.
Not related but I just found out RDR2 dead body's decay and vultures will come pick it clean. Game of the gen!!! It's so freak real.
uhmm because higher costs for Sony maybe ?, also even thou some say is a great addition to the controller on the dualshock, honestly I don't want more damn buttons on the controller.
I feel like if there was back buttons then it would make devs use those instead of the touch pad. This could be better or worse (fps games of course would love it), but I feel the touch pad is fine enough for most single player games. Touch's also a shit ton more dynamic even though barely anyone pushes to use it in such a way.

Listening to this I just heard one thing. This is sponsored by Microsoft.... Damn they went out of their way to rise MS to the skies. Sad how openly bias these people are tbh.
They said gamepass x 1000, but they don't seem to know unsponsored words like Dualsense, Haptics, Demon's Souls, Spiderman etc... Lame.
The biohazard one is very snazzy.
