It's been long enough that I'm sure someone besides me has shelled out the $200 for a DS5+, since it's a bluetooth controller with a touchpad and grip paddle buttons. Is it worth it?

Edit: To clarify, I own a Dualsense, but I'm lusting after the Dualsense Edge revision.

Sounds good. The main time I've found myself using the Rise4 paddles is for Minecraft. I'm already using both bumpers and both triggers for quick hotbar management, so I've got no way to jump or sneak while aiming. So I have L4 = Cross = Sneak, and R4 = Circle = Jump, and that covers all axes of motion.

I guess the difference is just convenience, in that case. With "real" paddles, I could program them in Steam Input and they'd remember their setting per-game, instead of me having to fiddle around with the remap buttons each time I want to enable/disable the paddles. But yeah, since it's just a convenience, I'll wait for a better price. Thanks for the sanity check.
