Review on Gamepad Sony DualShock 4 (CUH-ZCT1E), Star Wars by Micha Korkosz ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I'm not completely satisfied with the product.

I want to note that I am not a supporter of any console and do not want to somehow persuade someone to buy any gamepad. I also left a review about the Xbox 360 controller. Read for comparison. To begin with, I consider the Xbox gamepad to be the best for games (slashers, gta-like, racing). Why? Described in a review about Xbox 360 wireless. But I think that from the "box" is not suitable for fighting games. Yes, that's why I bought the DS4. I find the D-pad to be much more comfortable on the Xbox for most games except for fights and platformers. Gamepad from Sony - very good, stylish, comfortable. I will not describe that it is good - read the "five" reviews. And in no case do I ask you to regard my assessment as an attempt to set yourself up against a purchase, on the contrary, the gamepad is of high quality and I advise you to take it. But still, read and compare it with a competitor and decide what you play more often and why you need it. As you can see, I bought both - this is the best solution. None would change. I'd rather talk about the cons that prevent being a perfect gamepad: 1. Not removable battery. It's a pity. 2. A lot of negativity about erasable sticks during active play. I don’t use them myself (I took them because of the cross for fights), but by touch, compared to the “boxed” one, there really are suspicions that they will be erased. 3. Constantly working backlight (I don't really pay attention to this, but it can still bother some people). 4. No official firewood. One of the main problems. This is easily explained by the fact that Windows = Microsoft = Xbox. They are just monopolists and did not provide options for Sony. But this problem is solved by emulation for the Xbox controller. Of course, you will have to run the software every time before starting the game, but in general this is an easy solution. The gamepad works great in games. The only problem is that games are developed for a "boxed" controller and even the names of the buttons will be displayed on the screen just for it. 5. The biggest problem for me is that controller doesn't work via bluetooth on Windows 7! 8 is easy. At 7 - off

Pros
  • The best gamepad for fighting games, support for conventional bluetooth, support for conventional micro-usb cable.
Cons
  • Firewood, erasable sticks, a built-in battery, a cross not made of buttons (that is, this is not a cross, as on the "box", but buttons, but they are still attached to one round disk (as far as I remember, the buttons on the old DS were like separate), it's still a little awkward when trying to quickly press directions for a combo or fatality - you press any button and others deviate from it a little; but still, compared to the Xbox, it doesn't feel that way here).
