The best PS4 controller yet... period.
Being both an XBone and PS4 owner I can say that IMO Xbone has the better controller. No controller matches their Xbox One Elite for my money. However, this controller is the closest you can get and it's on the PS4!!! It's a game changer for the system (IMO). Feels quite similar to the Elite, same xbox staggered thumb-sticks, button layout etc.. triggers have a slightly different feel but not much of an adjustment at all. The bottom buttons free up your thumbs from needing to leave the sticks to hit the buttons, and the installable weights that come with it are genius and make it feel substantial if you like a weighted feeling controller, as I personally do. You can have 4 separate profiles loaded on it at once (an improvement on the Elite). Full mapping and Macro programability. I simple LOVE this controller so far.
Now for the cons.. I still think this is a fantastic controller but they are definitely worth consideration.
You need to have a windows based PC or laptop handy to customize as the software is not yet Mac compatible and is not within the PS4 itself. It comes with 4 presets but I found I absolutely needed to make my own. Hoping the company in the near future develops an app for the system itself & for Mac OS. (Luckily for me being a Mac guy I just happen to have an old windows laptop under the bed)
Con: No wireless play and the cord though heavy duty is not your standard, it's unique to the controller so if happen to break that you're probably going to have to special order a replacement. Again, it's quite solid and secure so I haven't had any problems at all after the first month but the controller does not take batteries so you NEED the cord to use it.
Con: The macro concept in a controller although may be considered a "cheat" is still an amazing idea (that not even the Xbone Elite can achieve) but, it doesn't work so far in the game I'm currently playing (Bloodborne NG+++). So If you're for some reason buying this JUST for the macro functions that may disappoint you in certain games. I myself feel the 4 underneath buttons enough of an advantage, sorta consider macros a bit overkill and honestly could take some of the joy out of challenging games.
Con: If this thing breaks down I may have to buy another because I don't think I can go back to the standard PS4 controller after using it!
So yeah, I feel good about the purchase. :)
