Re: Anyone use Hex or Aim controllers?

Hey @Astroboy314 I haven't used either, or even have a PS5, but I use an Elite II on my Xbox and those back buttons are really handy. It sounds silly but not having to take a thumb off the sticks has helped me quite a lot. I wouldn't call it an advantage really, at least not a big one, it's more just good to have.

I know it's not what you asked but hopefully my ramblings will be helpful still.

Yah I had a stock back button on my PS4 controller and loved it. I agree, it makes a huge difference and is the main reason I want a Hex or Aim controller (I think PlayStation said they'd release a back button attachment for the PS5 controller as well, but who knows how long that will take). Just hoping a quick trigger will help make the $250 price tag of a Hex controller easier to swallow.

@Astroboy314 I actually missed that bit and just focused on the back buttons. Mine has trigger locks as well and they're very, very useful. I've also set my L2/R2 sensitivity really high, so with that and the locks I basically tap the trigger to fire.
