The Sony DualShock 4 Wireless Controller keeps its general design while making a couple of useful tweaks. Compared to the DualShock 3, this controller has improved dual analog sticks and trigger buttons offer precise control, and the capacitive touch pad provides a unique way of interacting with games. The Share button also allows you to share your gameplay over social media.

This version of the DualShock 4 includes a second, small light bar just above the touch pad, allowing players to check its color at a glance. It also allows for data to be passed through its micro-USB port, rather than just power, letting you use it as both a traditional bluetooth controller and as a wired one — for when wireless latency is slowing you down.
