Ugly 3rd party trash, do not want. Give me a premium DS4 instead.

 

[guyssorry]

Standard DS4 is easily the best playstation controller ever. It's the only one where medial movements of both analog sticks at the same time will not result in my thumbs touching. It's also the most ergonomic dualshock controller, by a wide margin. For me, these are a huge nope.

 

[Ragnorok64]

Hopefully they are cheap and common ground. Specifically the last ones.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

I really don't understand why Sony hasn't made official customizable controllers. They can't handle the logistics?

 

[BibiMaghoo]

They are hideous.

 

[zelas]

Do these not have the light bar? Lol, is this what it takes?

 

[Kuro]

I have average sized hands for a 6 foot man and my hands get cramped from the large grip of the DS4 after a while so I might check one of these out. Its a shame they can't get these third party controllers wireless.

 

[bahamut zero]

who buys wired controllers these days? there is like 1km of space between my sofa and my tv, why should I clutter the space between them with a ginormous cord?

 

[Danneee]

I might go for that mini controller if the d-pad is good

 

[Bishop89]

Those look awful.

That DQ one is pretty cute though

 

[Hostile_18]

First thing I looked for was unwired off-set analogue sticks (like the X Box)... was dissapointed!

 

[orochi91]

I know a guy in the white house who might be interested. :")

lol

 

[Callibretto]

Kinda want the mini one so I can bring it with my laptop to work etc. Would be nicer if theyre wireless though

I was thinking the same thing.

I hope it has rumble, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

I'm just waiting for the DS5 at this point. It has to be better than the DS4.

 

[Drackhorn]

Were people really asking for a controller smaller than the DS4?

Beats me. Seems like a waste of plastic to me.

for kids.

I have a hunch you'll have to wait 'till the PS5.

I guess it depends on the person. DS4 fits my hands perfectly fine. It's not as small as the Sixaxis but it has the right amount of heft.

 

[Yohane]

is that a rebranded DQ11 controller?

This is brilliant design.

The ps4 controller is too big for my 5yr old son.

 

[mikezilla2]

Places to order ?

 

[Strangelove77]

Do all Europeans have small baby hands?

 

[Chille]

Were people really asking for a controller smaller than the DS4?

I wouldn't mind it I find it's a bit big for my hands

 

[jacobeid]

If they could make one for people with big hands too that'd be greatttttttttttt as DS4 is super uncomfortable for me. Oddly enough the DS3 fit my hands better, though nobody ever believes me when I say that.

 

[CamHostage]

I like that they exist.

Miss the Days of the 100% Unofficial products.

With you. There were some CRAZY controllers on PS1 (it's too bad that these official controllers all seem locked to the PS analog stick arrangement instead of offering an Xbox choice ... for those who are maniacs and prefer controllers without symmetry,) and controllers and peripherals got staid when Sony/MS locked the consoles up. They also got expensive, I welcome options.

So the Nacon one can display some of the game's info on the controller LED itself?
I wonder which games are compatible with it.

Its just the lightbar on the front like the Pro/Slim DS4s.

Huh? The lightbar can "display in-game information such as your player number or health status in compatible games"? I remember the lightbar did something like pulse with the motion tracker in Alien: Isolation, not sure how else it's been used.

The Mini Wired Gamepad is coming to NA as well

We're pleased to introduce a new controller from Hori, the officially licensed Mini Wired Gamepad for PlayStation 4, designed with younger gamers in mind. This controller is 40% smaller than the DualShock 4 and has a simple form factor with a flat design that makes it easy to fit into smaller hands. Best of all, the controller has a low price of $29.99 USD (MSRP) / $39.99 CAD (MSRP), making it a great purchase for companion play on games like Knack 2.

The Mini Wired Gamepad provides the essential functions to play most PS4 games while still providing a great gaming experience — that includes the right and left sticks, R1/L1/R2/L2 buttons, directional buttons, and action buttons. Certain touch pad inputs can be simulated via the left or right sticks.

The wired controller includes a 10ft cable, making for an easy plug-and-play experience. While this controller does not include some features of DualShock 4, including a touch pad, light bar, stereo headset jack, speaker, vibration, or motion sensing, it comes at a great value and helps open gaming to the whole family. Find out more about the gamepad here.

I hope the DQ one comes too

 

[Android18a]

Definitely want a mini pad, especially if its wired!

 

[Newk86]

So it's December, any impressions on these things yet? Kind of interested in this Nacon compact wired one but they don't seem to be as cheap or readily available as I was hoping/expecting.

 

[jadedm17]

All wired?

Yea, how does that make it a great for little kids?

 

[Slash76]

This is brilliant design.

It reminds me of
