Gaming Review From PlayStation to Xbox and back. Journey of an Xbox "fanboy" to a two console owner! (Hardware/OS)

I can understand why you'd be hesitant to spend that much on a controller. I was the same, I just got lucky to get one as a christmas present. I honestly have never used a higher quality controller. It's pretty shocking how completely thorough MS was in it's design, production, and custom function. Hell, the sticks are made of friggin' metal! You can remap every button and customize sensitivity and dead-zone on sticks and triggers. You can configure the paddles however you want. Only want two paddles? Four? None? Different Stick lenths, and different D-pads? all possible and super easy and intuitive to customise. You can save two different configs and change them on the fly with a flip of a switch. You can lock the trigger for short pull with a switch.

It is the ultimate gamer's controller and actually costs less than a third party custom controller with the same functionality. Best. Controller. EVAR!
Metal doesn't help durability much when controllers still use rubber pads that wear out unfortunately

I have to agree, it is absolutely the best controller I have every used, bar none.....and the quality, untouched by anything else.

why does that comment and the impressions of the ps4 vs xbo not surprise me
Sorry that my review doesn't just say, "PS4 rules. OMG it's the best ever." It's not. I gave an unbiased review. You're the one who has the issue.

The DS4 is a poor controller. It's cheaply constructed, the d-bad is unusable for anything but menu navigation, the battery is laughably bad, the track pad is an outright gimmick, the light is one of the most useless gimmicks ever made for a controller and the thumbsticks are the loosest I've ever used. The ONLY positive it holds over the Xbox One controller are the triggers. They're short throw and are great for FPSs. That's it. That's the only plus of the controller. It's no comparison to the Elite but that's a quality controller and they shouldn't be compared.
 
The DS4 is a amazingly designed controller made out of parts Sony found at a landfill
 
ps4 has no serious competition if one compares sales,exclusives,online gaming service or 3rd party versions of games.
Lets hope Nintendo brings it.
