I kind of really like the Razer one, even if it literally is an Xbox One controller

Spoiler

(I love Xbox One controllers, I'm just saying it copies a lot)

.

But at the end of the day it's a third party controller which I'm not a huge fan of, plus it's not wireless.

 

[Marvel]

I've seen worse.

Not gonna buy one though...

 

[Novocaine]

The Razer pad will cost at least as much as an Elite pad I'm sure though, so there's that.

 

[Calm Mind]

Basically. 3rd party controllers continue to be for guests and your little brother.

Not even I'm that cruel. And I give guests Gamestop Gamecube controllers when they come over.

 

[LAA]

Just disappointing they both seem to try and copy the X1 Elite controller instead of evolving the DS4. Already have an X1 elite controller so don't really see the appeal in a "cheap" imitation for me.

 

[Pixel Fist]

More people with online advantage over me, Scuf was already OP af, if you are playing with a player of your skill gap wich I usually am not since I'm way higher than most console players on pubs, but still sometimes I get owned because those guys using those controllers have huge advantages specially in Black Ops 3 since you can jump and shoot at the same time.

Change your control scheme to bumper jumper.

Though before I bought my Scuff a few months ago I got pretty adept with having jump mapped to R3.

Sony promoting a third party controller with an Xbox style asymmetrical stick position. Maybe they are testing the waters so next-gen DualShock 5 has a major design overhaul.

 

[gate stormer]

Asymmetrical or bust.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

These just look ugly.

I guess if I had to choose one or the other, the one at the bottom with the asymmetrical joysticks would be it.

 

[Owari]

ew. these look really bad. Sony should release their own elite controller.

 

[TsuWave]

Asymmetrical or bust.

you mean symmetrical right? because these are asymmetrical

 

[NeoRaider]

Ugly.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

you mean symmetrical right? because these are asymmetrical

The Razer isn't.

 

[KissVibes]

These look like the PS2 controllers your mom made you get at radioshack because she refused to pay $50 for the first party one. The XB1 Elite controller is overpriced as fuck, but it looks amazing and I'd imagine feels great in the hand. These tho...gross.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Sony doesn't care about making a Pro controller then I guess

Both of these being 3rd party wired controllers stymies most of my interest

It's good all those people with asymmetrical thumbs will have a pad that caters to them.

 

[thuway]

The moment I saw they were wired I said nope.

They did it last gen too. There were officially licensed Hori controllers marketed as "FPS pads" that basically aped the 360 design. I think they are just throwing options out there.

 

[sagat2036]

Terrible just terrible.

 

[Astral Dog]

Only for the PS4 Pro?

 

[EvB]

The Xbox Elite controller is wireless, which is exactly why there would be that expectation.

But no "Pro" would use it wireless, as the Xbox pads have less lag when wired.

 

[forknknife]

Why wired? Wtf

 

[RichiRamjag]

Sony is gonna have to make their own and stop fooling around.

 

[thelastword]

Those look so beautiful. Hoping pre orders go up soon.

Funny enough, there was recent thread where the OP and other poster were begging for a PRO controller. Some have expressed their wish for a XB1 style stick placement as well. You have two Pro controllers, one with XB1 style stick placement and all you hear is "This is ugly".....?

 

[Hexer06]

Yikes. They don't look all that great, and they're not wireless!? No thx .

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

I actually sort of like the Razer. I am not sure if it LOOKS ergonomically pleasant but I do like the layout. I might give it a try if it's $99 or less (USD).

 

[AkIRA_22]

Razer I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

 

[hao chi]

I might dig the Nacon if it had a headphone jack. That's a deal breaker for me.

 

[Goose_Se7en]

Not digging the look at all.

 

[ponpo]

Too normal.

e: So much wired hate. I only use my controllers wired so if I was looking for a new one, fine with me.

 

[darkwing]

lol wired, it's going to bomb hard

 

[Blackpanther25]

Too normal.

Really?! This can't be true.......

 

[Drain You]

I use my Elite wireless most of the time.

 

[CrispyBoar]

No Sony, YOU make a good controller.

They did, they just need better analog sticks & a better battery.

 

[Muzicfreq]

Whats with the third part xbox.... oh wait... ugh

 

[grebby]

They both look like trash. No one will buy this.

 

[DieH@rd]

Why wired? Wtf

They are both wireless, but they come with custom hardened 3m cords.

 

[televator]

Oh, noes they're gonna split the instal base! Such division! This will surely cause chaos and panic throughout the global population on PS4 owners.

 

[FyreWulff]

Interesting that first party seems to be allowing macro buttons on licensed controllers again?

 

[Drain You]

They are both wireless, but they come with custom hardened 3m cords.

Are you sure about this? That's not how it read to me, although I could easily be wrong.

 

[Bad_Boy]

Too normal.

so crazy it could work.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Too normal.

I want this for my PC. I always wanted a half controller instead of wasd. I'm sure there's another solution out there, but since it also works for PS4 it's interesting. Though I'm sure the mouse option will be very limited in which games it works for.

Yeah me too. I'd like a good console-like joystick for movement on PC while being able to look with a mouse.

Hopefully this is true, I'd like to get one just to play around with but my TV is too far away from my couch for wired play.

Normal Ps4 does not communicate over wire with the controller, only for charging. So it will work wireless.

 

[nowifenolife]

OMG how excited was I when I saw this thread! Playing trials and bf1 for long periods makes my hands fingers hurt on the ds4. I've been wanting a pro controller for years and now we get 2 and there both wired? Seriously? Getalyfe

Here's hoping that they can be wireless too, well I don't think the razer can be but the other with the screw in type connector may have a chance.

I'll have to look into the elite with cronus if there's no wireless as my hands can't take much more ds4

 

[Chris1]

DIdn't MS say they spent like 100 million on their elite controller? No wonder Sony would not bother with that kind of thing and license these kinds of things out. Of course, those third parties are gonna do things cheaply

They spent 100 million on the regular controller

 

[Sakujou]

wired. a controller.
nope.

 

[Bishop89]

Boy they are ugly.

well they are third party controllers

 

[NurseRedHeart]

Well, I really like the look of these! Now will they come to US or will I have to import??

Anyway I'm thinking of using the one by Razer for PS4 (Pro model by then) and the Nacon model for my gaming laptop.
