The appearance is horrendous. It looks like something out of a Lego movie.

Probably because It looks like its made by a third party. I doubt Sony would copy the Xbox Elite style so closely and In the description it mentions its compatible with Xbox Elite parts which would be an odd feature list for a Sony made accessory.


Features:
- Bluetooth control
- Rubberized housing for firm grip
- Compatible with Xbox Elite Controller accessories
- Charges with included 9’ braided cable
- Fully customizable buttons and triggers
- Interchangeable Back Paddles with 2 preset configurations
- Preset 1: paddles emulate the front buttons
- Preset 2: paddles emulate RB, LB, RT, and LT.
- Keep your fingers on the thumb stick while executing intricate moves
- Magnetic! Easily attach and remove paddles without any tools
- Compatible with Xbox One paddles for added flexibility


Good price though as long as the build quality is there.
 
Whoa,wait a second. So is this an official Sony product or just some 3rd party knockoff copying XBox Elite? If it's Sony then I would imagine they need to match the quality of XBox Elite. Otherwise this is probably a piece of junk.

Edit: Did some research and this ISN'T an official Sony product. Likely total junk. Thanks for misleading us. :txbmad::txbmad::txbmad::txbmad::txbmad::txbmad: I knew how tough the XBox Elites were to get so I did preorder 2 of them. Cancelling that immediately.

Now the truth: My understanding is that Sony has a patent and is working on making their own Elite controller in hopes to match the best controller ever made, XBox Elite Controller. Maybe one will be ready to launch with Neo, that would be nice.

BUYER BEWARE!!! THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL SONY PRODUCT. BUYER BEWARE!!!

He makes himself like like a fool without the help of anyone. OF COURSE this is 1/2 the price of an Xbox One Elite Controller...it is a piece of garbage. I bet is has no weight at all to it, cheap Chinese plastic that will fall apart in your hands. Made by some company named Emio that is more comfortable making Christmas lights. Not making this up.

So sad that his jealousy over Sony not (yet) having a matching product to XBox One Elite Controller would resort to posting this garbage to try to fake gamers into thinking there was something. Total backfire.
 
First, it's 3rd party. Second, stop with the stupid trolling bulls*** "(eat it m $)". Can you go one day without the childish nonsense?
It was a obvious joke and what is sad is the thread title is changed trolling the product for real and ok and who's childish.

If it was first party I'd be interested, but everyone should be skeptical of any 3rd party controller regardless of system.

It might turn out great, but wait for impressions.

You've lost the "it was a joke" card a long time ago. And the product is a direct knockoff of the Elite in the form of a DS4. I'm calling it exactly what it is, a knockoff.

No when i am serious I say i am serious.
You trolled the thread title period am serious
 
And the Xbox Elite is a knockoff of scuff controllers.
Many things copy off of other things...Its called PS4 Elite Wireless.
Calling it something else is being mad.
 
It looks like the XBO Elite controller.
And I think both look nice.
I agree that in the images it looks nice- I quite like that it looks like the Elite and is compatible with its accessories.

If it were official I'd be buying it already. Unfortunately, I almost never like third party controllers so now I will wait for a review. Usually, third party build quality is junk.

I would kill for an elite quality controller on PS4.
 
3rd party rubbish, lol. Sony really needs to get on that Elite controller wagon. I kinda like the DS4 more than the standard Xbox One controller. The Xbox One S controller though? Lights out. It's just better. I don't know what they did but the buttons feel better. So now Microsoft has two controllers that are better than the DS4.

Y'know something, you're right. Since the very beginning, I've never known Sony to mimic their competition in design/ergonomics or anything. They've always marched to their own drum in a sense.
