PS4 Elite Controller Surfaces
According to a listing on Target.com a new PlayStation 4 Elite controller is available for pre-order. There is no question we remain highly suspicious that the posting could be a fake but it certainly appears legit. That said, the controller does not appear to be from Sony and looks to be from a 3rd party publisher. It is also a heck of a lot cheaper than the Xbox One Elite controller.
Similar to the Xbox Elite controller, the PS4 Elite controller gives the player the ability to change the function of certain buttons and control the layout to their game. Allowing the player to make game controls work for them instead of the other way around. Similar to the Xbox Elite, the back of the controller has the new paddles for even more controller customization. These paddles are easily attached and removed with magnetic connectors. The paddles will allow you to map action buttons to them so to keep your thumbs on the joysticks.
The description on Target reads:
