This remapper is only suitable for V1 controllers(no lightbar in the touchpad). A total of 4 buttons have been soldered, X/Circle/L2/R2. With this set you can convert your controller to paddles and also install smart triggers. Smart triggers produce a “click” sound and a shortened triggering time for the shoulder buttons on your Playstation 4 controller. The paddle buttons provide a design-related advantage in shooter games such as Fortnite or Call of Duty. The Ares paddle sits very comfortably in the hand and can be easily operated with both large and small hands using the middle finger.
The installation takes about 30 minutes and requires a hot glue gun and a drill/Dremel.
Scope of delivery:
- 1x V1 Remapper pre-soldered with smart trigger and paddle buttons
- 1x ARES paddle + screws
- 1x screwdriver if necessary
FAQ about Remapper & Paddles
What is a remapper for?
A remapper allows you to convert your PS4 or PS5 controller into a controller with paddles without any soldering skills. The conversion is very easy, you usually only need a hot glue gun, a drill, a screwdriver and a little patience during installation.
What are the benefits of paddles on a controller?
Paddles give you a design-related advantage in many games. This is that you can use the analog sticks and press the paddle buttons (usually X and circle) on the back at the same time. This means that your aim always remains on the opponent, even in situations where you want to duck, lie down or jump.
For which games are controllers with paddles useful?
Paddles on your controller are useful for most shooter games, including Warzone and Fortnite. You can also benefit with other games.
Is the extra cost for a paddle controller from a well-known manufacturer justified compared to the DiY remapper sets?
If you don’t want to or can’t do it yourself, then definitely yes. However, if you enjoy tinkering and are patient, you can easily build your own controller with our conversion kits. The quality is not much different, the gaming experience is the same as with a controller you can buy for 200€+.
Can I still use the normal buttons if I have installed a remapper?
Yes, the normal buttons still work the same as before, the remapper just duplicates the keypad, it’s like having a second light switch in your hallway.
Which buttons are assigned to the PS4 & PS5 remapper sets as standard?
Standard is X and circle, this key assignment can only be changed by re-soldering. If you specify a different key assignment when ordering (leave a message), we will be happy to change it according to your wishes.
