Review on Gamepad HORI Horipad Mini for PS4, black by Wiktor Borowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The right product for me, there were no problems.

I thought it would be fun to introduce my son to the world of video games on a computer. During the process, it became IMMEDIATELY clear that a keyboard is not a particularly user-friendly gaming device for a child of four years old. Despite the fact that it is designed for the PlayStation 4, the size of this controller is the one that I found to be the most appropriate after considering everything I could find. To summarize, it is still a little big for a child who is 4 years old, but it is possible for them to play games with three buttons, such as racing simulators where gas, brake, and turn are the controls, granted that there are no other possibilities for a child's hand. Although it barely reaches the top triggers, it does manage to get to the left stick. In the days of the second PlayStation, I used joysticks to play games, so it is impossible for me to comment on the quality of the gamepad itself. There is simply nothing else that can be compared to it. In general, it does not stink, does not creak, does not play. After making some minor configuration adjustments, I adjusted it such that it will work with the required games and connected it to a PC running Windows 10 using x360ce. Even with a tambourine, some games do not recognize it, which is unfortunate, but PC compatibility has not been declared, so there is nothing to complain about in this regard. In most cases, things will be all right if you bring a child along. I tried to play myself, but because I am an experienced PC boyar and play the majority of the same games, I already have muscle memory for the keyboard buttons. I played more for show than for actual competition. In a nutshell, it's odd, yet it's exactly the kind of thing that could drive someone into some kind of trackmania.
