Hori Pad 4 FPS Plus Wired Controller Gamepad for PS4 PS3 Black

Love this controller but let me start with the negative first: I’m used to the original PS4 and PS3 controller layouts so it took me a while to adjust to the new layout of the Hori pad 4 FPS. The left thumb stick and direction buttons are switched. I kept reaching for the direction buttons when my thumb would hit the left stick. This was annoying at first but you get used to it after two weeks of playing with the controller. Now I can switch between the ps4 original controller and the Hori pad without my fingers getting confused! On the plus side this is an excellent controller, built like a tank. It’s super comfortable to hold if you have medium sized hands like me. The buttons are very nice, probably industrial grade and very satisfying to use! The front trigger buttons are replaced with regular buttons so if you play FPS games - it’s excellent. However, it won’t be useful in racing games where you might want to lightly press the accelerator. Anyway, can’t fault it - this pad was designed with FPS games in mind. I couldn’t say anything about the dead-zone on the sticks as I haven’t checked this out yet but I had no problem playing FPS games with them. Absolutely no lag, in fact I feel it responds slightly faster than the original PS4 controller and this is probably due to it being a wired controller. The wire, by the way, is very long and reasonably thick so you can play a good distance from the console. I really really really love the turbo button. Just keep the turbo button pressed and then hit which ever button you want firing continuously and then it is set!. Re-do this again to turn off the turbo function. Simple! I have used it a lot in JRPGs and quicktime events that require rapid button pressing and it maxes out the meter every single time :) Third thing I really enjoy is the rear target button with 3 levels of sensitivity. Sniping in games is a breeze now. In fact I feel really guilty using it all the time. You get superb control over the cross hair on the screen (depending on the sensitivity you select and are comfortable with). Aiming is now simple especially in games that do not have “auto-aim”. Lets face it, it’s not easy to aim in FPS games using a controller. Mouse is the way to go, but this controller makes it closer to a mouse. Don’t get me wrong, the precision you get with a mouse cannot be beaten but most games do not support mouse input on the ps4/3. Finally, the best thing about it all is that you can use it on both PS3 and PS4. If you have both consoles and enjoy FPS games like me it’s a no-brainer to get this controller.

Some things to bear in mind... as all the instructions are just in japanese still as its only a for japan product your buying an import item... USB devices can not wake the PS4 console... Nothing but official DS4s can at the moment wake the PS4 from rest mode... So sorry but you will have to get up to turn the console on first thing for a morning gameplay... Unlike the DS4 youll have to enable the controller on every boot up with the PS button... This is because the DS4 auto assigns during boot up.. This controller won't.. Auto fire modes Are disabled by the share button... So to disable auto fire Youll take a photo every time... Auto fire is Faster than a human can do... Some games will consider the top speed auto fire as a continued press so if you have a side scroller Youll have to use the change speed setting to lower the timing... Track pad as stated is a Real track pad not just a button unlike other controllers... When using the Pad to enter text I find the cursor moves down on each press likely because the travel on the pad press is more than the DS4... Due to there not being a built in speaker the speaker audio Automaticly diverts to HDTV audio via HDMI or optical out, you don't have to change any settings. This is a bonus when using optical headsets as with DS4 the Speaker needed to be Turned off per game... not with this controller... No vibration is not an issue as with the DS4/DS3 you normaly turn it OFF to save battery life... The DS4 dual shock motors are not PS3 compatable so leaving them out saves parts and weight... Assigning the L3 or R3 button to the target button... saves mele usage activation when NOT needed... this becomes an issue with the dual shocks as they get older and the L3/R3 becomes sensitive... Still surprised no Distributor in EU or US for this...

The controller is great overall; It is fairly light; It comes w/ extra functionality like: - Rapid Fire; - Auto Fire; - Button reassignment; It can also operate in one of the two modes: - Pressure sensitive buttons for PlayStation 3 compliance; - Digital buttons; All the extra functionality can be easily set-up via specific button sequences / combinations, which have been mentioned in the manual; Yes - the original manual is in Japanese, which can be a problem for those who don't speak the language; I'm attaching machine-translated pages of the manual for those poor souls; While the translation is definitely not perfect, it is good enough to understand how the controller operates; I would definitely recommend it;

Terrible quality. Cheap plastic and very expensive for something that doesn't even have vibration motors. Have owned mine for about a year and I hate it. Very VERY overpriced and left to collect dust now. I've gone back to the original PS4 controller and am waiting to be able to afford one of the more premium wired PS4 controllers. Not even a headphone jack. And very overpriced (did I mention that?) Absolutely terrible.

Great FPS controller if you are the lone player as I had no idea it DOES NOT has a headphone connection plug which means you have to use alternative headphone to chat with your friends if you want to use this controller which for me it's very inconvenienced. As for the controller itself, it's very good FPS controller, definitely has better control than the official PS4 controller. The delivery is very quick, it arrived a lot earlier than the estimate arriving date. I would have given a 5 stars if wasn't for the 'nasty surprise' of 'NO headphone connection plug. Buy it if you have alternative headphone or don't mind play the game without the need to chat to anyone.

Lighter than a Dualshock, comfortable to hold and inputs are responsive.

Xboxタイプのパッドに慣れてしまうと、PS4のパッドでは使いづらくてイヤになるほどだったので、こちらを購入しました。 有線なのでバッテリーが無いぶんパッド自体も軽量で、耐久性も高く４年使っている現在もドリフトを含め不具合はゼロです。 PS5用も出して欲しいです。

Si buscas un mando cómodo y de gran calidad para la PS4, este es! El cable mide 3 metros (más que suficiente para prácticamente cualquier salón/habitación) y al no ser bluetooth el tiempo de respuesta es mucho mejor que hasta el de los mandos oficiales de la consola. Al no tener ni batería ni sistema de vibración el mando es ultra ligero. Los sticks asimetricos (estilo mando xbox) son MUCH más cómodos que los tradicionales de sony (aunque al principio puede costar acostumbrarse a ellos). Resumiendo, un mando MUY recomendado si buscas algo cómodo, duradero y de altas prestaciones.

Hatte das Gamepad permanent im Einsatz, wodurch es zu meinem Liebling favorisierte ist. Warum es mir so gut gefiel, obwohl es keinen Kopfhörereingang, Dual Sense Funktion oder Rumbelmotoren verbaut hat, weil es für mich einfach super in der Hand lag und es 1 Jahr ununterbrochen funktioniert hat. Keine Tastenausfälle, Selbst die Thumper klicken noch um zu rennen. Nun ja, letztendlich ist dann die Gummierung an den Thumpern abgefallen, nach einem Jahr finde ich das schon eine gute Leistung. (Neupreis 79Euro damals) Zu den Feature von analog auf digital zu stellen, sehr einfach via Knopfdruck & Bestätigung über farblicher LED. Die Zielhilfe, konnte ich mich nie dran gewöhnen, daher habe ich sie auch nie verwendet. (Bin auch zu der Erkenntnis gekommen, dass es keine Kaufentscheidung sein sollte, da es keinen Vorteil bring, ist nur eine Spielerei) Dann wiederum die Dauerfeuerfunktion, die geht ist aber sehr langsam, die Geschwindigkeit kann man wohl einstellen, habe aber nach einigen versuchen und Youtube-Videos, nicht herausbekommen, wie es gehen soll, mir war es nicht möglich. Also konnte schon irgendwie 3 Stufen einstellen wie beschrieben, sahen aber alle gleich aus. Mir ist das aber nur aufgefallen, weil ich einen anderes Gamepad habe (günstigere da funktioniert nur das) bei dem muss man sich im Vergleich, bei der Dauerfeuerfunktion fest halten. Trotz alledem ist mir das Gamepad ans Herz gewachsen, vielleicht auch nur weil es so simpel zu bedienen war oder weil es so super leicht, ist für seine Größe. Es muss jeder für sich entscheiden, ob er ohne diese Funktionen leben kann aber dafür erhält man einen treuen Weg Begleiter.

Pour ma part, ce pad est parfait pour jouer notamment aux FPS, et je pense aussi pour tous ceux qui préfèrent l'ergonomie des pad de la Xbox 360. Filaire ? Très bien, la connexion est assurée, au maximum et sans risque de coupure comme avec des batteries. Pas de vibrations ? Tant mieux, ça ne m'aide pas pour jouer et je coupe cette option de toute façon. On ne peut pas allumer la console depuis la manette ? C'est vrai, cela demande un effort insurmontable... Les gâchettes ne sont pas analogiques ? Tant mieux, pour un tir rapide c'est un avantage ! Mis à part ça, le mode d'emploi était en japonais. Mais on trouve facilement sur Youtube ou ailleurs des explications. Celles ci permettront de tirer parti de l'auto fire et des autres fonctions dont je ne me sert pas.
