Sony PlayStation DualShock 4 Controller - Blue

Product Information

The one area where the DualShock 4 is let down, though, much like the PS5's DualSense wireless controller, is in its pretty meager battery life. Impact features four paddles, interchangeable thumbsticks, adjustable triggers, and a chassis custom-designed for competitive gaming. Change the position of the console and controller: Sometimes, simply changing the positioning of the console and controller can improve wireless connectivity. There are a number of notable companies creating products for the console, including Razer, so whatever budget you're working with you're guaranteed a decent product outside of exclusively the DualShock. Its name clues you in on the USP: the Nacon Asymmetric Wireless Controller has offset analog sticks, just like Xbox's controllers.

Once the controller is connected to the console, the light bar on the back of the controller should change to a solid color, indicating a successful connection.Because this PS4 pad is so small, though, you're lacking a light bar, stereo headset jack, speaker, dual motors, and a motion sensor. To reconnect your wireless controller to your PS5 console or PS4 console, connect it with a compatible USB cable and press the PS button on the wireless controller. Improve Your Play No matter if you’re a hardcore competitive FPS player, a variety gamer, or somewhere in between, our custom PS4 controllers provide performance, customization, and comfort over the standard DualShock 4 controller and can even be used as a PS4 PC controller as well as standard PS4 controllers. Make sure to check the controller’s battery status and try resetting the controller by pressing the small reset button on the back to see if the issue resolves. To update the firmware, ensure that your console is connected to the internet, go to the settings menu, then select System Software Update.

It's robust and well-made, with a chunkier design than the DualShock 4, which makes it more comfortable to hold across longer gaming sessions.Whether you’re a streamer, content creator, pro gamer, there’s a custom PS4 controller for you, but don’t take our word for it. Connection Problems: Another possible cause could be a connection problem between the controller and the console.

Considered the best option for a competitive gamer, the Infinity 4PS Pro and Impact will give you the edge you need to claim victory. It could mean that the controller is trying to establish a wireless connection with your console, or it may be an indication of a low battery level. If that’s not enough customization, you can also make use of interchangeable thumbsticks, the built-in quick control panel, and Hair Trigger Mode.If there are other devices or objects interfering with the signal, it can lead to connectivity issues and result in the light blue light. The Razer Raiju Ultimate Wireless PS4 Controller is one of the smartest PS4 pads around and is well-suited for seasoned gamers looking for a more involving controller. If the controller is not properly synced or is experiencing interference, it may result in a light blue light. Since the DualSense controller for the PS5 offers new features that the DualShock lacks, you'll need to use the accompanying accessory to enjoy games on the PS5.

It shouldn't be a surprise that Sony's official DualShock 4 tops our list of the best PS4 controllers.
