Can anyone please try out if this works on Android (especially emulators)?
I just checked the reddit post again and it says that the DS4 motion sensor doesn't work with the PS3.

So for anyone who's tried it on PS3 games, does Start and Select work? I'm guessing that Options would be equal to Start but what's Select? Is it maybe Share or clicking the touchpad?
Share and Options work just fine as Start and Select in Injustice. Just tried it out. PS button does nothing so I had to use the DS3 to quit the game.

I don't need a second controller just yet. But, I want the blue color DS4's .

I guess so because stores in Baltimore, MD did not have them as well.
The share and option buttons function as start and select.
I'm curious about this too. I went with Amazon for my extra controller because of the trade-in credit deal.

Yup... Ran to a few locally and they were just for preorders. The closest one that claims to have some in stock said they only had enough for preorders also. So now I am sad .
.Stores like Gamestop of Fred Meyers?

So I went to my gamestop(Best Coast, San Diego) and the guy said that they had just received their shipment today. I posted this photo on my facebook page and a friend of mine who lives in Boston and also works at Gamestop told me that they'll be getting their shipments and demo kiosks "very soon." Hopefully all you east coast gaffers won't have to wait too long.
I've held the controller and just like everyone has been saying, it's simply an all around improvement on the DS3. The d-pad is even better than before, IMO it is the best PERIOD. The sticks feel great, non-slippery as stated, and the light texture on the back isn't the most amazing thing ever, but it does its purpose. The actual shape of the handles feels perfect to my hands, but that will obviously vary for people. Shoulder buttons are better than ever and the triggers finally feel good. The track pad is very easy to click, despite looking difficult to push(I was pretty surprised).
But the option and share button...they're pretty small in comparison to everything else, and they're pretty damn hard to click to be honest. Maybe it's just me, or I'm just not use to it, but they're harder to click than any of the other buttons. Both a blessing and curse in that you won't accidentally pause the game, but if you want pause it immediately...well good luck. Overall though, an amazing controller and I wouldn't be surprised if it goes down as THE best controller of all time. But maybe that's just the hype talking.
Going to finally test it in action with Black Ops II (doesn't work on GTA V
), so here we go!Deadly Cyclone

Seems like if they were hard to click then good. You dont want to accidently hit that share button.

Geez, this guy has no idea what the difference is between DirectInput and Xinput. I REALLY wish PC game developers would go back to DirectInput support, it's so annoying that Xinput has such a a stranglehold.
It's even more annoying that Steam Big Picture basically just properly supports Xinput, especially given Valve and their stance on Linux, etc.
Trade-in $30 worth of gaming stuff, get an EXTRA $30 on top of that towards a DualShock 4. So basically, a free controller.

It's standard micro-USB. (what most phones, other than Apple, use to charge)

When I get off work I'm going to make some settings for that with Joy2pad or whatever its called.

Eh? I think I'll just wait till it launches to see if there's a sale on it when all the games are likely to be discounted and maybe accessories too. No sense in picking it up now so it'll sit unused for 3 weeks and been paid at full price.

I want to BELIEVE you!
Hi Guys,
Got my controller working wireless via Bluetooth on my PC.
To put the unit in pairing mode you hold Share button (first) + PS button, the unit will start double blinking white LED.
You should then be able to find it under "Add BT Devices".
All buttons function and can be mapped however you want.
Triggers are also still analog (not sure that was known).

Hah, the way I see it is that there is only a new controller out every 5-7 years. So when new systems come out, if I'm not buying the system itself, I get to at least enjoy a new pc controller. I can afford 60 or 120 whatever bucks every half decade.
Mine acted like I was crazy and told me they could not sell them before the 15th. I told them to check with the internet...
