The PlayStation DualShock 4 Tactile Back Button is an aftermarket accessory for gamers that will enable them to enjoy enhanced gameplay that isn't limited by just the standard functionalities of the controller. The device works by being positioned on the rear of the controller and will provide an additional two buttons to let users perform various functions at their convenience. The positioning of the accessory on the rear can reduce response time, while the ability to map out up to 16 different functions will make the unit suitable for an array of different gaming titles.

The PlayStation DualShock 4 Tactile Back Button can be set up for use with three different profiles to let multiple gamers enjoy a customized experience whenever they play.
