It is pretty ridiculous. The back button attachment on the DS4 was a great piece of hardware but what I'm assuming will be roughly $300 CAD for a controller is really steep. But I will admit that I'll probably buy one eventually. But if you don't play much fps games, I don't really see the point. They may provide a slight advantage in a shooter but are more of a convenience in most other games.
You're simplifying things greatly.
Sure, but I still doubt anyone would instantly find a second just by using it over a regular DS4/5.
If anything, the benefits will come from people switching from automatic to manual because of the back-buttons. I found shifting with my right thumb to be awkward, but shifting with back-buttons was more intuitive. You may be able to save time there, but that's a certain group of players. Overall I'd say you're right - most people won't see huge (1 second +) gains.
The one area where it could, and I don't even know if it has this function, is in trigger locks. I can't find anywhere that confirms whether it has trigger locks (like the Xbox Elite controller). If it does, with the Xbox elite controller on Forza 7, it enabled you to turn off ABS and get much stronger braking power without worrying about lock ups because the trigger locked right at the point before lockups would occur. I genuinely shaved seconds off lap times with that controller.
not sure this is absolutely confirmed or they are just speculating - it's also mentioned in an IGN article

Ok interesting, if it does have that then shaving a second or 2 off lap times holds some water, based on my aforementioned FM7 experience.not sure this is absolutely confirmed or they are just speculating - it's also mentioned in an IGN article
The DualSense Edge also includes adjustable trigger hair locks at the rear. These are ideal for players who want to physically lock their triggers to half-pull and adjust the travel distance in shooters.
Sony’s new DualSense Edge controller arrives on January 26th for $199.99
Sony’s Xbox Elite competitor won’t come cheap.
I don't know why I didn't just check the official Sony page first. They are there, there's even a little animation, it looks almost identical to the Elite setup.
You can use a kontrolfreek (or any other stick extender) for the sticks. I use one on the right stick but I would imagine using one on the left would allow for finer movements in a driving game.
This was experience also with Forza games using the Elite controller. However, with how ABS is implemented in GT7, I wonder if this feature is going to have as much of an impact.
A second or two off lap times? Bollocks, unless it's the Nordschleife. I've been a wheel user for 18 years, my controller playing is rusty as heck, but when I once or twice a year try it just for fun my lap times are within about half a second off my wheel times. Anyone who shaves seconds off in GT7 by using a different controller simply sucked at using the previous one or it was broken.
