I use a modded PS5 controller on PC. I've found for most purposes, clone-binding R4 to Cross/A and L4 to Square/X is good enough, as that allows me to crouch and jump while also running and turning with the thumbsticks. But it'd be really cool if I could remap these buttons steam-side, instead of needing to clone an existing button controller-side.

Unfortunately, patent trolling means they won't become mainstream. Companies have to pay to add paddles, so they won't unless it's part of a more expensive controller offering.

That's ridiculous that you can own a patent on something as basic as "buttons on the opposite side than normal".

I think a company sued valve over it hence why they abruptly put them all on sale for 5$ and never made any more. I believe valve ended up winning the lawsuit though hence bumpers on the steam deck
