Because preferences? Some people are used to Xbox's sticks.

preference, how does it work?

And I think it's extremely shallow to judge a controller by it's looks. Hori has shown they can put out quality peripherals, so there is a good chance that it's actually decent.

Well they better get used to PS sticks if they wanna use PS4. If you're willing to change systems from 360 to ps4 surely you could adapt to a new controller.



I like the DS4 design and I don't buy 3rd party stuff usually so I won't be getting it. Also, it looks really cheap in quality.

lol wow that's one of the most ignorant things I've ever seen. There's been Xbox styled playstation controllers for years. Some people's hands get cramped or fatigued with symetrical sticks. Its the reason Sony considered changing the PS4 controller to Asymetrical.

Opinions how does it work?

I dont trust 3rd party controllers, they're often of terrible quality even from good brand names and even if some are good they are still below the quality of the official controllers.

And like I said above, if you're upgrading from 360 to ps4 and change to a whole different ecosystem, a change in controllers is a small hurdle to overcome, and the DS4 is godly. It's the best controller I've ever used.

lol wow thats one of the most ignorant things I've ever read. If Sony made the DS4 different and fixed the problems people were having, then why the hell would you need a xbox styled PS4 controller when the alleged problems have been fixed? This is the PS4 we're talking about, not PS3. Sony didnt consider assymetrical sticks for PS4, they tested it and they came to the conclusion it's too awful and thats why they sticked with symmetrical sticks.

- No touchpad
- No lightbar (and no button to deactivate it!)
- No Bluetooth
- No headset connector

It's not a DS4 3rd party controller. It's a PC Playstation compatible controller
