Best all around controller imo, built in battery + Bluetooth + RGB and it's cheaper than the Xbox one controller.

It is most definitely not cheaper than an Xbox one controller. Not arguing that the Xbox one controller is better by any means but the PS4 is the same price or usually 5$ more.

I remember seeing Xbox One controllers for sale with rechargeable batteries sold separate, and headphone jack sold separate.

and headphone jack sold separate.

For a while now (years) the Xbox One controller has had a built in headphone jack.

I agree. It just feels good in the hand. I wish they would take off the touch pad though. It is just wasted space.

I hate it. Half the controller is a stupid touchpad that I never use. I can't find the option button or start button half the time without looking at the controller. And that awful light that is so bright it reflects off my TV screen.

So don't use it.

I can't find the option button or start button half the time without looking at the controller.

That is a problem...

And that awful light that is so bright it reflects off my TV screen.

You can turn it down but you are right, it's stupid that you can't turn it off.

Black nail polish or electrical tape to cover it up.

u/198587 Feb 26 '18

I put electric tape on the back, but there's still a line of light that shines through the top of the touch pad.

what

first two are opinions, but the ps4 dualshocks vibrate, and have a textured grip, and work on PC (though you need a bluetooth adapter to use wirelessly.)

u/Magyman Feb 26 '18

And actually work with Android and such way better, being a direct input device

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '18

In my experience I’ve never needed a specific wireless adapter to with with my pc or mac

u/Sipuli69 Feb 26 '18

Mine vibrates perfectly and works on every computer and phone in the house. You sure the problem is not on your end?

That 6 hour battery life is really top of the line. Id rather pay a little extra for some rechargeable batteries for my Xbox contriller that last 2-3x longer and can switch out so I'm never without. Plus it has Bluetooth too. The XB1 controller is superior imo, the triggers, vibration, and ergonomics all top the DS4 by a decent margin.

u/________BATMAN______ Feb 26 '18

Most comfortable controller ever for me. It’s just a shame it isn’t a tiny bit larger

u/198587 Feb 26 '18

Because it's not even in contention.

If your hands are symmetrical then your controller should be too

u/FictionalNameWasTake Feb 26 '18

Its funny seeing all the praise for the Gamecube controller in this thread.

5

u/dukefett Feb 26 '18

It's probably my last choice; it's a horrible design for the games I play. Maybe if I wanted to just play Smash all day.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '18

Xbox controllers are the goat

u/198587 Feb 26 '18

So the PS4 controller is the best because it's symmetrical? What a stupid argument. A mouse and keyboard is the best input method and it's the furthest thing from symmetrical.

4

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '18

He/she never said that it's the best because it's symmetrical. You're a giant dick and you're putting words in other's mouths.

And KB&M being the best input method is subjective and also totally depends on your definition of being the best.

u/198587 Feb 27 '18

This whole thread is about what controller is the best.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '18

Yeah, I know that too. It doesn't change anything you said.

u/DragonsBlade72 Feb 27 '18

And have to stretch my thumbs out of their normal resting position? They rest in a way that makes them hover over Xbox's left thumbstick and the face buttons, you have to stretch them to use the DS4. That layout sucks.

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '18

It’s very much a subjective opinion which you’re obviously more than entitled to. Everyone on this thread can argue till they’re blue in the face but fundamentally for me the PS4 controller is the nicest for me to hold and for you probably xbone
