comment
" ...  Works as expected on all versions of PS4 systems. ... Yes I have one of each PS4 incarnation and tested it on each one. ... I play video games to enjoy the alternate reality generated in game. ... With this controller I can generally do well enough to survive the painfully few PS4 games that are not too difficult to play.  ...  "

" ...  This is a official PlayStation controller. ... Works exactly like the standard black controllers that come with the PS4 console. ... The advantage to using this controller is if you every want to sell the console at a GameStop, they don’t accept any controllers with PS4 trades.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Steam lets you do all kinds of cool stuff with it, like assigning different buttons to clicking different parts of it, or to just tapping it, or creating small custom popup menus that you can select from. ... It's fun when you're surprised by something coming out of it, even if it is just menu nav sounds. ... It is good for both menu nav and platformers. ... I prefer the lower, easier to reach position of the PS button over the locations of the home buttons on the xbox or switch controllers.  ...  "

" ...  Also, I switched to an xbox one controller for primary use and found it much better in every way (for me), so my second one was limited to remote play (living room PC is in a different room from PS4). ... That is more than I can say about most bluetooth hardware I've used. ... Lets you play remote play on your PC.  ...  "
