Looks better than DS4.

With the horrible XOne d-pad? Why everyone seems to copy one of the worst d-pad designs of the last decade?



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

I find the lightbar to be a nice touch. Do people not like it?

I like the Xbox styled Asymmetrical analogue stick layout for everything except 2D games/fighters... Then my preference is the PS4 layout.

Why can't I have both? :'(

Also I would prefer AA battery's. Not just because I can get 3000mah cells (Verses the PS4 controllers 1000mah cell), but they are hot swap-able. Screw cables. Screw short battery life.

The light never was a problem to me and I don't really need a xbox format controller to play, I'm quite used to PS layout

You can also put duct tape on the light sensor or just cut the wire that lights it if it really bothers you that much.

That´s good. That dumb light bar is probably one of the reasons why the PS4 controllers batteries have such low life.
If at least there were a way to turn them off.... but there´s not.
I´d rather have a controller without the lights, even with analog sticks in a different position, which is not a problem for me.

I play my PS4 on a PC monitor that is like 60cm from my face and get no glare on the screen?

I had a problem with the light bar, with the original DS4 controllers. The newer ones don't reflect at all for me, with the light dimmed all of the way in the settings. That cutout in the top of the newer style, definitely seems to take away some of the brightness. I prefer the sticks lined up, but staggered like the Switch Pro Controller, isn't bad either. Haven't owned an Xbox, since the original, so i've never used staggered sticks that much.
