Official PS4 DualShock controller attachment adds two programmable back buttons

Sony has unveiled its official Back Button Attachment, enabling players to add two new buttons to the underside of a PS4 DualShock controller, and it's out early next year.

The Back Button Attachment, which Sony says is designed to "[elevate] gameplay by delivering more versatility and performance", clips to the EXT and headset ports of a standard wireless DualShock 4 controller, and consists of two bar-like button and an OLED screen interface.

The latter is used to assign one of 16 possible actions to each button - including standard DualShock inputs like triangle, circle, R1, and R2 - and offers visual feedback during play. Buttons can be remapped "on the fly", and it's possible to save up to three different profiles.
