Dualshock Controller Glacier White (PS4)

Excellent item .. Recommend.

I got this to replace my xbox 260 controller because the wire had frayed almost completely off. I wanted a wireless one, considered waiting for the steam controller, and wireless support for the xbox one controller, but needed an immediate replacemant, fancied a change from the xbox style and really liked the ps controllers of old so went for this. I am very pleased i did. I am running WIN 8.1 and using InputMapper as a software bridge to get the controller working flawlessly with all the games i have tried. InputMapper is free to download and makes the DS4 work just like a 360 controller. The buttons all work to the same configuration of the 360's so no confusing button presses, and InputMapper lets you fully configure anyway. There are several different software programs that you can download to get the controller working but I use this one. I didn't have to set anything up, just plug and play out of the box! This controller feels very solid and responsive, looks great, the battery time is fine for numerous extended sessions. All you need to either charge or connect via a wire to your pc if you choose to is the same wire that you use to charge your mobile phone. The controller can be charged with a mobile charger, or while plugged into the pc with just the usb cable that the mobile charger uses. (I have a BlackBerry usb cable). Overall, I would highly recommend this DS4 controller for PC use. I also installed the release of WIN 10 and he controller worked perfectly with that also. (Games I tried the controller on: through Steam: Remember Me; Enslaved: Odessey To The West; Transistor; Blade Kitten; Sega: Streets of Rage 2; Batman Arkham City GOTY; Shantae Risky's Revenge). They all worked gret! Also, the trackpad works very well and the click seems to operate as a right click, but this can possibly be edited to be left also.

If you are looking for a good quality controller than look know further as the Dualshock 4 is brilliant far better than its predecessor as instead of the mushroom analog sticks the DS4 sticks are concave to allow better grip. Another great feature of the DS4 is the anolog stick, which were problem for the DS3 but on the DS4 they are perfectly formed allowing for better and more accurate shooting. The touch pad is good for games such as Assassins creed as I find it the best way to navigate the map, though at the moment most games don't utilize it. Of course the start and select button have been replaced by share and options. I have found myself recording footage only to be found I wasn't this is due to Sony allow developers block users from recorded certain parts of game to avoid spoilers on the internet. That is why I recommend anyone thinking of trying to record videos more efficiently to wait for a compatible recorder to come on the market (*and for Sony to allow them to be used). If you need any additional information comment on this review and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

What more can I say, It is an official Sony licensed controller for PS4. Would not recommend buying cheap controllers, there is an obvious difference in quality and comfort. Always stick to the original. I have a PS4 that is black, the previous controller was black, the monitor is black, headset is black even the desk I have all this set up on is black and so I just wanted to mix it up a little and decided to get a red controller. The magma red colour is great, it really stands out in my set up and generally looks nice if you look at it from a home decorating aspect.

would not connect to PlayStation. un -sure why. could not send back, as missed returns date. (was a gift) delivery was fast.

Best controller out there for PC. I was using a wired Xbox 360 controller with my PC for about 3 months, when i discovered you could use the PS4 via Bluetooth. This is a huge benefit for me as i like to play games on my bed. When i received the controller it didn't come with a USB cable. This wasn't an issue because i was using the controllers Bluetooth capabilities. To get the controller working, I had to use Third party software called DS4 windows. This was very easy to set up and i was playing games within minutes. The look and feel of DS4 controller is a huge improvement over the DS3. It felt sturdier and has a bit more weight to it. In my opinion this gave it a higher quality feel over the DS3. Overall the DS4 has an improved look and feel over the DS3 and i would recommend this product to anyone who wants to use a controller with their PC.

Quality controller, lots going on. The touch pad works very well, the updated thumb paddles work very well and are a lot more responsive and very comfortable. New designed triggers also feel fantastic. The whole thing just feels so much better than the PS3 version. Build quality seems to be okay, very sturdy however... The only reason I have not given this five stars is that I have noticed a creek in the plastic where the rumble mechanism is contained (inside the left grip). Every now and again I feel it creek and it is slightly annoying. Shame as I thought I was unlucky, but I have a blue version and this one does it too. So... 90% build quality. Apart from that its excellent and would recommend it.

I'm highly biased towards the dualshock family of controllers so keep that in mind: This is my favourite casual controller, fits my hand and it feels satisfying to use with a pleasing finish and enough of the original style to bring up nostalgia for the good old days. Thumbsticks could be a tad stiffer though. I use it with my PC, however some games just don't play nice (despite having controller support) but there are third party apps that give you a smoother experience. It remains pricey, in my opinion but 2nd hand prices are reasonable.
