PS button: Turns your PS4 console on when it’s either turned off or in rest mode. It also display the home screen. Finally upgraded from my old PS2 controller that I've been using with an adapter for ~15 years now. Built-in speaker. Bring your games to life and hear every detail with sound effects coming directly from your PS4 wireless controller.

Apparently if you're using a PS4, that's not a problem, because a PS4 comes with the cable(s) you need, or is native wireless. But if you're using it on PC, you're SOL and forced to buy your own micro-usb cable. Well, unless your motherboard came with some fancy bluetooth wireless adapter (or you bought one as an add-in card, you loony), but then you're using wireless and have to deal with all its problems, along with needing to charge the built-in battery. Basically, you need a cable no matter what. You need the DS4Windows tool to get it working properly, which emulates an XBOX 360 controller. Sony said it had native PC support. Sure, if you consider the 1% of games that properly detect it as 'support'.It's pointless garbage, and was one of the first thing I had to disable, along with converting the touchpad 'buttons' into start/select.

You're not a child: It's hard to recommend this controller to adults, unless you really like the petite form factor. In your search for pads, you may have read about chipped or modded controllers. These controllers are, technically, banned devices for PS4. In “pro” play situations it’s an automatic disqualification, and when playing online in shooters like Call of Duty, they carry an automatic ban if you’re caught using them. Light bar. This integrated light bar lets you see more of your games as it glows with different colours depending on in-game action. It is also visible on the touch pad now. You can use the touch pad and the touch pad button for various system functions. Available functions depend on the content in use.Their major advantage over regular pads is the use of a “rapid-fire” chip that lets you map a button for the controller to automatically spam as you’re playing – meaning you can artificially boost your reaction times when playing against others. If you think the reward outweighs the risk, go for it – but our advice is to steer clear. Are third-party controllers compatible with all games?

Steam's controller stuff could work too, but I never bothered with it, since DS4Windows is a lot more powerful and works on every application, not just Steam games. It's a lot better than the old x360ce we've (DINPUT controller users) been forced to use, and you can even turn off the stupid light bar with it. It took months to start to get used to it (along with configuration to add a 35% deadzone), and I still hate it as much as the day I first used it. As someone who's been used to buttons being buttons on controllers for 30 years, this is an atrocious design decision. There's not a single game I've played which uses "triggers" for any meaningful purpose, they're just L2 and R2, like they've been since the PS1. You want something cheaper: As one of the pricier PS4 controller's around, Nacon's premium offering may turn the budget-conscious among you elsewhere.

The integrated light bar not only adds a stylish touch but also provides visual cues during gameplay and syncs with certain in-game events. It's a small detail that enhances immersion. You need a solid D-pad: The Razer Raiju's D-pad is easily its weakest element, which means some genres that rely heavily on it will feel less enjoyable to play.

Touch pad. The built-in touch pad lets you have precise control and features a one of kind light bar which adds an additional dimension to your gaming experience. The amount of frustration this has caused is immense. You can't move the controller while using it or else whoops, connection lost. The only fix I found is to BUY A NEW CABLE for it to last a few weeks before the metal becomes loose enough for it to wobble and have the same problem crop up again and again. The trigger sensitivity results in accidental activation with the slightest touch; even just holding the controller with your fingers on the shoulder buttons will result in them triggering. Additionally, because they're resistive triggers, you have to forcefully hold them down when you want to press the button, resulting in fatigue. I actually suffer pain after a while of playing games with this controller solely due to the constant force required to press these triggers. Pinch in and pinch out: Place two fingers on the touch pad and move them closer together or further apart. Share button. By simply pushing the share button, you can capture and share your finest gaming moments. You can directly upload these screenshots from your PS4 or even livestream your gameplay without disturbing your game’s progress.The controller which has a touch pad on the front in place of the Sony logo, weighs 210 g (7.4 oz) and has dimensions of 162 mm × 52 mm × 98 mm (6.4 in × 2.0 in × 3.9 in.
