Review on Sony Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4 - Red Crystal - PS4 by Betty Tucker

Revainrating 2 out of 5

After only about 4 months it stopped working.

Not at best. It's nice, like a real PS4 controller, but there were occasional glitches with the controller that caused my character to do things, although you can blame the game if you will. In fact it sometimes refused to charge completely and I know this isn't my cable as my other two blue and black controllers worked fine with the cable. Finally, I wake up this morning and decide that I want to play Bloodborne. My black controller needs to be charged and my blue controller stopped working a few months ago so I removed this red controller from the charger and plugged in the black one to charge. But, you know what? This controller decided today that it won't even turn on. I press the home button to turn it on, nothing, I try to press the reset button on the controller on the back, doesn't work. In fact, the controller only works when connected to the PS4 via the phone's charging cable. That's seriously stupid and defeats the purpose of wireless charging. All my other PS4 controllers last until around 2017 when I bought them in 2015. This controller has served me from March 2019 to today 31st July 2019. This is just terrible. I've never had an issue like this with a controller in my entire life and I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it would.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
