Hori Pad 4 FPS Plus for PS4/PS3 (Blue)

Ergonomic to hold when playing games on Steam like Elden Ring. Being a wired controller is nice when Bluetooth stops working on DualShock controllers.

While the controller initally took some getting used to from a regular DS4, I've grown to love the thing and will not be going back to Sony's own offerings. Besides the obvious wired benefits like never having that haywire controller issue that is all too common, and no battery issues. There's also no tacky light bar.The cord is exceptionally long, so much so that I have it coiled and twist tied to reduce the length. The triggers can take some getting used to, especially L1/R1 as they're a little bulkier and sharper than a regular DS4. While the buttons are a little squishy, they're perfectly responsive to inputs and I've yet to have an issue. The touchpad works just fine. The sticks are a touch looser than a regular DS4, but I've had no issues whatsoever in practice. I prefer symmetrical, so the asymmetric layout took some adjusting. Most games I play don't utilize the dpad meaningfully, but it is a notable step down from the DS4 for those that do utilize it. The turbo features on the controller are easy to use and work just fine if you're so inclined. The rear sensitivity button is more of a novelty, in my opinion. It works, I just don't see the real function.This controller is very large. Larger than an Xbox controller, much larger than a dualshock. It's very light though, maybe to the point of feeling a bit cheap. But no battery will do that to a piece of hardware. You also can't turn on the console with the controller, a habit that took me a while to break. If you're looking for an alternative to Sony's DS4 due to poor quality assurance like I was, look no further.

It's meant for FPS games but I've been playing PSO2 and smash melee with it for a bit so here's what I think.Overall I think I'd give this an 8/10. If you are into Xbox or Nintendo's wii u or switch pro controllers you might really like this one and the size of this is pretty big so thats a plus.The downsides of these are:- No sixaxis (might not be a big deal if you play PC games but it's a bummer if you wanna play old PS3 games that use it)- No vibration (this is a bit subjective)- The L2/R2 buttons are pressure-sensitive buttons, but they are treated as triggers. If you're like me who likes to press buttons lightly I'd recommend setting the max value to something really low in ds4windows like 0.10 so the slightest press can be read as 100%.Now the plus sides:- L3/R3 buttons are less arthritis-inducing to the fingers- Extra stuff like a Turbo mode, custom button Assignment mode (which i dont think i'd use but its cool if you play on PS3/PS4, from what I read it's complicated to set up) and a Target (precision) mode you hold at the back of the controller. This mode just slightly lowers the right stick's sensitivity for things like OTS/aiming. The “dashed” icon on the bottom of the controller is the speed modifier during Target mode, from left to right is 50%, 75% and 85% sensitivity when you are using the right stick.- No battery, (and since there's no motors) this thing is EXTREMELY lightIf only this had vibration and sixaxis this would have easily been a 10/10 controller tbh. In the meantime, i'll have to find a dualshock 3 to play my PS3 with just for the specific use cases of needing the sixaxis lol

This controller is a joy to use and how the thumb-sticks are placed on it is my preference. I've been gaming on it for quite some time now and it's been holding up super well! It seems very, very durable for gaming-use, I'd even say the buttons and everything are probably the best quality I've ever used (other controllers seem to have buttons that become unusable quite easily, namely official Xbox One controllers that are so darn expensive!)I'd highly recommend this to anyone that is searching for a controller that will be durable for high amounts of game time! I use this for PC gaming and it really works well for 3rd-person-shooters and the like! :3

Got excited because of the controller lay out, fits my hands a lot better than the ps4. Unboxing , looks good feels cheap. No weight to it at all. The BIGGEST ISSUE when trying to sprint forward with the left analog stick the character moves left while sprinting forward. Tried resetting ps4 and playing with settings but the booklet is in Japanese. This issue was immediately after opening it.
