Works well on PC, sticks somewhat snappy.
Apologies for the inconsistent photo quality, I hope they still help convey the product well despite.For the sake of clarity, I haven't tested this on my Playstation 4 yet as I bought it primarily for use with my PC as my regular PS4 controller has a few issues at the moment and I grew tired of the Xbox controller's shape and layout.General verdict on this controller is that it's worth the money as it performs well on most grounds, this is exactly the kind of replacement I was looking for, comfortable, functional, and with a few extra bonus features. The controller is a nice thickness and wideness, it fits nice and snug in the hand, less round than the official sony controller, but no less comfortable to hold, in fact it sports a nicely curved, yet flat, design that makes it feel nice and stable in the hands. I wouldn't quite call it ergonomic, but it comes close to it.The controller comes with a wire and a guide to connect it to your PS4 system, however I do not recommend you use the provided cable over the one you most likely will have recieved with your system as it is almost half the length, not a problem when you just want to connect the controller or charge another while you play with another, but if you're like me and using it on PC or just like to keep playing while the controller charges then you'll be better off using the longer, official one.It doesn't appear to send out a bluetooth signal to conventional recievers, so it is not bluetooth connectable to a PC (not in my experience at least, though I may have not done it right), however it does send out a signal, so I am certain it is at least attuned to the PS4's reciever, just not any others which is fine as it is primarily for the Playstation, playing wired on PC isn't an inconvenience at all.This controller sports all the buttons you'd expect to see on a controller with a couple extras, such as the buttons on the back behind the thumbsticks that act as alternative inputs for L3 and R3 if you don't like clicking your sticks, plus a turbo button and a clear button to clear whatever input you've turbo'd. The touch pad is about 3/4 the size of the official sony controller, I'm not sure how much that affects touch pad controls if at all on the PS4 as I have not tested it on that front, but it still functions as an alternative Options and Share button.The thumbsticks are pretty decent quality, however I do think they lack a bit of precision as movements between the eight directions on the left stick feel rather snappy, not in an overtly positive way, but not necessarily in a bad way either, the right stick suffers a similar issue with its sensitivity, it's not terribly precise, small adjustments are somewhat difficult to make reliably, but I wouldn't say it's not precise at all as despite the snappiness the sticks still do their jobs and do them well, it may just be a case of me using it on PC and being kinda bad at aiming on controller anyway, but on the offchance this is the case on the PS4 as well, I would say it's a perfect controller for playing games that don't require a great deal of precision (such as RPGs, Action games, and other more casual games that are less reliant on accuracy), but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who plays FPS games as they often require utmost precision.Overall, yes, this controller is good for the money and performs decently on most fronts, there are a few points you should consider when buying it, such as the stick precision and possible compatibility issues if buying for PC use, but otherwise, this is a quality controller and I would recommend it if you're looking for a second controller or replacement for one that's nearing the end of its life, it will see you through most anything. Using this controller for the actual PS4 may be a completely different experience to mine on PC as it's clear this was made primarily with the PS4 in mind, so you may or may not even experience the issues I have, but even if you do, this controller is still a good investment in my opinion.

Robust ‘game rage’ controller.
Given 3 stars, but should be 2.5.Good sturdy controller. If you suffer from ‘game rage’, this is the one for you. Very robust and takes far more abuse than an official ps4 controller (sad to admit, but over the years I’ve spent far more on controllers than the brand new console cost me😞).Only criticism is battery life. Pretty appalling, with about 3hrs game play before battery warning appears, and not convinced it charges whilst playing a game with cable attached.This one criticism aside, this controller has been a far better financial way of dealing with a sad problem.

Great potential, but TERRIBLE analog response
The controller feels great in the hands, and features like the turbo mode and the clickable L3 & R3 buttons are an awesome addition. The buttons in general feel decent. Unfortunately I ended up having to return the controller, as the analog inputs were practically unusable. Both the analog sticks and the analog triggers have massive deadzones, and extremely aggressive “analog” curves, so there is zero input for 30% of the range of motion, then all of a sudden it is completely active over a very very small area. They are TECHNICALLY analog, but they feel like binary digital on/off inputs, which made things like controlling your throttle when driving, or gently panning the camera, extremely jerky and uncomfortable. It’s such a shame, as the controller would have been great if the sticks and triggers worked as well as they do on official controllers. I ended up getting official Sony replacements as I finally found them at an appropriate price instead of being marked up to double.

Not for me
I got this as at the time I couldn’t get a genuine PS4 controller as mine had finally had it!Sadly this got used for half a day as I couldn’t get on with how sensitive the controls were, even after I had adjusted them on the game I was playing.

decent controller
I bought this controller to replace my sons old ps4 controller and to be honest I wasn't expecting much but I have to say I was really surprised. The controller it self felt really good and a nice weight in hand. Plays well to.

Gr8 controller gr8 battery
This controls is great value for money, it's well made fits well in the hand and feels comfortable to hold, it has 2 buttons on the back of the sticks in easy reach of the fingers as default the work as L3 and R3 have not checked if they are programmable as I'm just getting used to them as I have never used control with buttons on the back. I used it straight out of the box and the controllers battery seems to last forever as lasted more than 6H of game play and it was not fully charged and still had battery left when I charged it 100% would recommend this controler its simple a great produc
