It seems like ring finger paddle buttons are becoming a controller staple. I know of these, what are some others?

Clone an existing button only:

  • 8BitDo Pro 2 (P1, P2)
  • PS4/PS5 controller with remap kit from ExtremeRate (K1, K2, K3, K4)

Treated by Steam as an entirely new button:

  • Steam Controller (L4, R4)
  • Paired joy-cons (left SL, SR; right SL, SR)
  • Steam Deck (L4, L5, R4, R5)
  • Xbox Elite (P1, P2, P3, P4)
  • Dualsense Edge (LB, RB)

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.

Completely agree. It’s almost become default for me to remap the bumpers to the top back on my Steam Deck.

Yeah, that’s been my primary use, remapping the bumpers to the paddles, so much more comfortable to not have to move your fingers from the triggers.
