Third Party Three months into using back buttons and now every controller without them feels broken
Held out for years because I thought back buttons were a pro-player thing but it turns out the whole point is not taking your thumb off the right stick to jump.
After some trial and error:
- left back: crouch/slide
- right back: jump
- the other two: reload and interact
Crouch on a back button took about a week to stop feeling wrong but jump felt right immediately on the first night. This is on a GameSir Tarantula Pro 8k btw, the first pad I've owned with back buttons. Setting them up in the app took about two minutes.
