Share button. By simply pushing the share button, you can capture and share your finest gaming moments. You can directly upload these screenshots from your PS4 or even livestream your gameplay without disturbing your game’s progress. In 2 weeks they both started having loose connections with the gamepad. I'm talking barely any movement and it'll lose connection repeatedly, multiple times a second. The connector, ontop of being micro-usb, is also designed in such an asinine way. There's a cut out for the connector so the housing actually fits, but there's also a piece of plastic housing that juts out surrounding the internal connector. This plastic meets with the housing on the cable connector, stopping it from fully inserting. This alone is mainly why it's extremely loose and wobbles very easily.

You're not a child: It's hard to recommend this controller to adults, unless you really like the petite form factor. USB battery charging. Charge the controller's internal battery from your PS4 USB port, giving you hassle-free charging as you play.Yeah, I just mentioned it, but the light bar is bright and always on unless you use a third party tool to disable it. There are zero settings for it in Windows' built in controller settings. Apparently it wasn't even possible to configure on the PS4 either until recently, but you still can't disable it there. Baffling.

Built-in speaker. Bring your games to life and hear every detail with sound effects coming directly from your PS4 wireless controller. Finally upgraded from my old PS2 controller that I've been using with an adapter for ~15 years now. You need the DS4Windows tool to get it working properly, which emulates an XBOX 360 controller. Sony said it had native PC support. Sure, if you consider the 1% of games that properly detect it as 'support'.The trigger sensitivity results in accidental activation with the slightest touch; even just holding the controller with your fingers on the shoulder buttons will result in them triggering. Additionally, because they're resistive triggers, you have to forcefully hold them down when you want to press the button, resulting in fatigue. I actually suffer pain after a while of playing games with this controller solely due to the constant force required to press these triggers.

As someone who's been used to buttons being buttons on controllers for 30 years, this is an atrocious design decision. There's not a single game I've played which uses "triggers" for any meaningful purpose, they're just L2 and R2, like they've been since the PS1. Light bar. This integrated light bar lets you see more of your games as it glows with different colours depending on in-game action. It is also visible on the touch pad now. The Razer Raiju Ultimate Wireless PS4 Controller is one of the smartest PS4 pads around and is well-suited for seasoned gamers looking for a more involving controller. It allows advanced customization via the Razer mobile app, which includes remapping, adjusting sensitivity, and creating your own bespoke RGB light show.

Pinch in and pinch out: Place two fingers on the touch pad and move them closer together or further apart. The integrated light bar not only adds a stylish touch but also provides visual cues during gameplay and syncs with certain in-game events. It's a small detail that enhances immersion. The controller which has a touch pad on the front in place of the Sony logo, weighs 210 g (7.4 oz) and has dimensions of 162 mm × 52 mm × 98 mm (6.4 in × 2.0 in × 3.9 in. It's pointless garbage, and was one of the first thing I had to disable, along with converting the touchpad 'buttons' into start/select.
