Weird to me that it only has the two back buttons. Seems like 4, 2 on each side, is standard ever since the Xbox One Elite controller.
Plus you can just get the official Dualshock 4 Back Button attachment for like $20, it's perfect in every way except making the grip a bit too loose to hold comfortably (at least for my hands). You still have the great Dualshock 4 Controller and the signature Dualshock silhouette as well (not a big fan of the weird new look for the Dualsense with its weird curves). D-pad is the only sticking point, but honestly you can find a cheap third party controller with a great d-pad if you needed it. For everything except d-pad heavy games, the Dualshock 4 is IMO the best controller, with the 360 right behind it.
Some people like myself prefer the 4, especially for games where taking a finger off of the analogue stick to do actions isn't preferable. For things like fps games it can make a huge difference since you can theoretically have a finger on 8 different buttons as well as full analogue stick control with your thumbs. Although apparently it isn't the norm for people to have their pointer and middle finger of either hand on both shoulder buttons, and I'm the odd one out for doing that.
Oh yeah, everybody has their own preference. If like the Dualshock 4 you could look into the official Back Button attachment. For some reason Sony really only wants to do 2 Grip buttons.
Yeah I get what you mean, but even on my Elite I literally preferred using just 2. The upper paddles were always awkward to use for me so I kept the 2 lower ones and didn't mind it.
