Can you bind "extra buttons" in rocket league?

[H.M. Murdoc (Actual Old Man)]

I'm looking at getting a controller with buttons on the back like the Thrustmaster Eswap Pro. I'm pretty sure the back buttons can be unique extra buttons such as L4 and R4, unlike the Elite controller that you can only remap existing buttons like a,b,x,y to the paddles.What I'm wondering is if I could bind one of the back buttons to powerslide like L4 or does RL only allow you to use conventional buttons?

I guess while I'm on the topic have any of you had any experience with the Eswap Pro controller? I know a few streamers use it. My issue is I like the Xbox layout but Xbox controllers are crap. I haven't had one last me more than a few months without getting stick drift or having buttons stop working. My PS4 controller had lasted several years but my hands are too big to hold it comfortably. I want a PS4 controller with Xbox layout and the Eswap seems to be the best answer.

Check out Nacon Revolution Pro 2. It's an awesome controller.

I will do that, I'm still not settled on a controller but that didn't really answer the question. What I "m trying to figure out is if there's a controller that has "extra buttons" on the back. Like the back buttons would act as L3,R3 and if Rocket League would let me bind them. I tried an Elite controller but it would only let you bind the rear paddles to buttons that are already on the controller and the paddles weren't reliable. Plus the Elite controller would double press buttons a lot.

U can bind keys from the controller itself to the rear buttons. L3 R3 square triangle etc that u don't use to bind to keys like left airrol or jump whatsoever.

I've got for example: right rear button to look backwards with L3 that I don't use for anything else. Triangle is free to, so I use that for left rear button to airrol left or right to freestyle.

The Nacon Revolution Pro 2 u can optimize to connect and download the add-on to bind them as u want. Sadly u can't bind like letters or random signs though.

Edit: so yes, u can rebind them in the Rocket League settings.

Ok so they have to be buttons already on the controller. I'm looking for a way to get more buttons than on a standard controller. I currently have every button on my controller bound to something and some buttons have 2 things bound. I wanted to have everything on a separate input but it's looking like that might not be possible and it seems like back buttons aren't really going to be as reliable as front buttons for important inputs anyway. I was very disappointed with the Elite controller. Maybe I'll just stick with an xbox controller and keep replacing it every few months when I get stick drift

It looks like the PS5 controller might be a middle ground between PS4 and Xbox so that may be what I'm looking for, regardless of extra buttons. I feel like the PS controllers have much better control and way better durability but I can't use them for more than 10 min without hurting my hands. In a few months both next gen consoles come out so I guess I'll wait and see what they have to offer for controllers

Good luck in the future with it! Maybe in between u can search for more controllers that are capable of binding other signs and stuff.

You need to use joy2key and bind the extra buttons to keyboard keys, which you then bind in the game.

Then I can bind them to a controller?

Well joy2key can turn specific controller input into keyboard input. So if the game doesn't detect those extra buttons, you can simply turn that button into a keyboard button, which the game can detect and is bindable.

But I want to play with a controller. The whole point is I ran out of controller buttons so I was looking for rear paddles but on most controllers you can only rebind the back paddles to face buttons.

Listen. Rocket League can accept input from both the controller and the keyboard at the same time. You can use a program such as joy2key to make a controller button register as a keyboard button. You are STILL playing with the controller, but when you press the paddle, the game will see it as a keyboard key rather than a controller button.

For example, I make left paddle register as the keyboard letter "L". I then go to Rocket League and bind Air Roll Left to keyboard "L". Now I can air roll left using the left paddle. I don't need to use the actual keyboard.

reWASD is another program people use for the Xbox Elite controllers to turn the paddles into new, extra buttons (by mapping them to keyboard keys).

Sad man, quality control is garbage. I use an elite controller and had to deploy my novice soldering skills to replace a drifting Left stick like 6 months after I bought it. The paddles are solid on mine though man, I use mine for boost/sprint game depending, and in FPS games I use both left side paddles for like sprint and jump. I can't go back to non paddle Rocket League.

Sure but you're still limited to the total number of buttons of an Xinput device. You're not gaining additional buttons by switching the input to Direct Input.

OP, STEAM controller is excellent. It's really good for FPS games too, has back paddles. Gyro & accelerometer like PS4 controller. And combines Direct Input & Xinput on the same controller. I'd also look into the Astro CT4 I think it's called, but it's pricey and may not escape the quality control issues.

Thanks for the tip!

My Elite Series 2 has turned out to be the worst of all worlds: heavy, uncomfortable to use, a complete failure for Bluetooth connection. But if I can at least do something more useful with the rear paddles, it won't end up being a waste

Wait what? I overlooked that statement. Is this true?

That's not what it does. The controller is still XInput. The extra buttons become keyboard keys. In other words, the controller is a mix of XInput and keyboard inputs.
