Unparalleled control on PlayStation 4

The PlayStation 4 is this generation’s best-selling video game console and the home to great Triple-A exclusives like God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man and Horizon: Zero Dawn. All these would remain a mystery to you were it not for the PS4’s Dualshock 4 controller, which is considered by many to be the best the classic design has ever been. It retains the asymmetrical analogue stick setup, complete with D-pad and four face buttons. However, this fourth iteration of the Dualshock introduces some cool new features.

The most noticeable change from prior Dualshock gamepad designs is the addition of a rectangular touchpad in the centre, which can be used in most titles for quick access to the in-game map. Another change is the addition of a lightbar – made use of in VR games that need to track your movement but will also change colour in most regular PS4 games to reflect certain moods or your current amount of health. The Dualshock 4 is the most inventive controller in making the games you play more interactive.

PlayStation’s Dualshock design, perfected!

The Dualshock 4 controller harkens all the way back to the original PS1’s gamepad design, successfully bringing it up to date for 21^st century requirements using fresh additions. A good example of this is the newly added Share button, which allows players to instantly tweet their favourite gaming captures and moments. You’re also able to stream live gameplay to services like Twitch, YouTube and Dailymotion – equipping players will all they need for modern play

DualShock 4 (CUH-ZCT2)

The ultimate controller comfort for PS4

Ask anyone what they love most about the PS4 Dualshock controller and they’ll likely say just how comfortable it feels to use in the hand. It boasts a wildly ergonomic shape and design that makes holding it never feel like a chore, even during extended game sessions, with face buttons that provide responsive feedback.

Added enhancements with the DualShock 4 V2

September 2016 saw a new rendition of the Dualshock 4 controller hit store shelves, sprinkling in a few new enhancements to perfect the already great design. These include USB communication, a much longer battery life and the ability to see the light bar from the top of the touchpad in addition to at the back. If you pick up a Black Dualshock 4 today, the V2 will be the version in the box.

Adaptable lightbar changes colour to your actions

The Dualshock 4 introduced two main new features to PlayStation’s tried-and-tested controller design: the central touchpad and light bar. The latter is used to bring immersion of games a little further, with select PS4 titles having it change colour depending on your action. Low on health? It could glow red. Likewise, in GTA V, it’ll flash red and blue when the cops come after you.
