Assuming you have a controller with back-paddles, what do you use them for?

I bind the Left Paddle to the "Confirm" button so I can play JRPG games with one hand.

L3/R3

>>750219271

O shit, that's a good idea

push to talk

Left Paddle: L3
Right Paddle: Turbo-fire one of the face buttons

Once I tried to bind them in cp77 and turned out I can't do what I wanted because it only accept x-input key. I can't split this idiotic press or hold meme
>>
If a game wants my thumb in multiple places at once (left stick + dpad, right stick + face button, multiple face buttons) then the auxiliary inputs go to back buttons
If I'm going to use gyro I designate one back button as a gyro toggle
Otherwise, L3 R3

Depends on the game. I like how the Switch 2 lets you program them on a per-game basis. My default is >>750219314, but otherwise for shit like the Star Fox remake I bind the boost/brake buttons to them so you can keep shooting without having to do a claw grip.

i hate back paddles, i'm too used to gripping and tapping with my fingers so i always end up hitting them by mistake. the few times i have used a controller with these i disabled them immediately
>>
>>750219271
I map them to A and B in splatoon, so I don't have to move my thumb off the analog stick. I don't really use them otherwise.
>>
>>750219271
dash in MMX or MMX type games
>>
>>750219271
Left for L3
Right for B
>>
I use them for any game that uses the thumbstick button for something. Nothing is fucking worse then pressing down on the thumbstick and it fucks up your controller after a while too.

Also if its playstation style controller I will sometimes use them to map dpad buttons. On xbox its easier to use dpad and thumbsticks at the same time.

Dodge and jump in a game like Control Resonant. My 8Bit do controller has 2 more buttons near the shoulders and I use one for select so I don't have to move my finger to open the menu or map.
>>
>>750219271
Usually healing on the left if the game has it or similar stuff on the dpad. Similarly jumping and if there's a dash or hold to run button, I put those on the right buttons so I have full movement without letting go of the trackpad. If there's any left over after those I usually put either the left and/or right stick click there. Also, in games with a lot of actions, I use them to swap input layers to get different touch menus.
