We’ll talk more about that touchpad later-it’s an important feature for using your DualShock 4 with your PC. The grips were redesigned to be more comfortable in the hand, the bumpers were changed to actually function like triggers, the joysticks added back the inverted grip to keep your finger on the stick without slipping, the start and select buttons were removed, and a large touchpad and light were added to the unit. The DualShock 4 didn’t completely change how the controller looks or feels, but it was the biggest upgrade to the design since the original shipped with the PlayStation. In 1997, three years later, Sony released the Dual Analog Controller, but was pulled off the market by 1998 in favor of a refined version.
Sony released the original PlayStation in 1994, bundled with the PlayStation Controller, complete with four directional buttons (instead of a D-Pad) and four face buttons, but was missing the dual-analog sticks that are now commonplace on every gaming controller from the DualShock 4 to the Xbox Elite controller to the Switch’s Pro Controller. The DualShock 4 is the fourth iteration of the DualShock line of controllers, and the first since the original to change up the design, while still holding onto what makes the controller recognizable to gamers everywhere.
What Makes the DualShock 4 a Good Controller?
Let’s discuss the benefits and drawbacks of using the DualShock 4, how to use it with your PC, and some of the ways the DualShock 4 might be the best controller on the market today. While most desktop gamers may prefer using an Xbox 360 or Xbox One controller for their built-in Microsoft compatibility and support, there are a number of reasons why you could and should use a DualShock 4 with your computer. There’s no shortage of gaming controllers on the market today that are compatible with PC, but one option you may not have considered is using a DualShock 4 controller with your desktop or laptop PC. Some games, like Dark Souls or Cuphead, really require a controller to get the most out of the game. While plenty of PC games require a keyboard and mouse, you’ll really want to have a controller handy for playing a good chunk of PC games.
