Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo have carved up almost all of the home console market, and among them, Sony has a market share of more than 50%, and PS4 is the most successful game console of this generation. As a dedicated peripheral for PS4, the Sony Dualshock4 controller is one of the most owned controllers at present. The Wirecutter named the Dualshock4 the best PC controller.
The Dualshock4 handle is referred to as DS4, and the domestic price is about 380 yuan. Unlike the Xbox controller, the DS4 is a representative of the symmetrical controller, that is, the left stick is under the D-pad and symmetrical with the right stick. At a time when Microsoft's "ergonomic" asymmetrical controller was popular, Sony also insisted that this layout was not unreasonable, fighting, action, music, side-scrolling 2D, such games have a common feature - the use of D-pad at high frequency. With the symmetrical controller, the D-pad is easier to operate, which significantly improves the experience of the above types of games.
As the most popular game console at present, the PS4 dedicated peripheral, the DS4 controller has top-notch button feel feedback. In terms of shape, it is slightly smaller and lighter than the Xbox controller, and it is more friendly to players with small opponents, and the grip is long, so the grip is very good. Similar to the Nintendo Pro controller, compatibility is a flaw in the DS4 and requires third-party software support to run in PC games. In addition, due to the different key markings, some "key not found" situations will appear on DS4 controllers. For example, the game says "press Y to jump", when in fact, you have to try to press the "△" button to complete the command.
The battery life of the Sony handle is not good, and under high-intensity use, this handle will run out of power in about 4 hours. For game enthusiasts, this battery life is slightly insufficient, and PS4 console players are more recommended to buy this controller.
