Seen on the PS Meeting thread, but didn't saw any thread about it:

It's a 3rd party controller and it looks great IMO. Looks like a perfect replacement for my 360 controller.
Also, it seems to be compatible with Xbox One Elite controller accessories.

 

[Armadilo]

Those sticks ruin the controller

 

[metareferential]

It's a ripoff down to the packaging.

Who knows, maybe it's actually good (no).

 

[BroBot]

Those sticks are absolutely disgusting.

Those sticks are absolutely disgusting.

The point is that you can change the sticks.

 

[CollectedDust]

That does look pretty good, is it legit? I don't see how they can get away with making a wireless ps4 controller that supports xbox one elite accessories/parts

 

[fritzo]

just threw up in my mouth.

 

[Hello? This is Hailun!]

Those sticks ruin the controller

Hate to tell you this but that controller was ruined by the stick (placement) when it was born.

 

[DrArchon]

It says it's compatible with all of the XBO Elite controller accessories, so hopefully you can switch the sticks out.

Hope something like this turns out well, because PS4 deserves a better controller option.

 

[etta]

Looks like a Chinese ripoff.

 

[pretty done]

The analog sticks are so terrible looking, they make the one on the Steam controller look amazing in comparison. The entire thing looks kinda knockoff cheapy tbh.

 

[fastest finger]

Not sure who'll be more pissed about this, Sony or MicroSoft.

 

[BroBot]

The point is that you can change the sticks.

You're right.

[Doctor_Thomas]

Is the box using the font from Alien?

What's next, you like the Nintendo dpad better? :0
Blasphemy!

 

[LAM09]

Looks awful

 

[Hello? This is Hailun!]

Blasphemy!

I play all modern games with a JPN Sega Saturn controller.


Overwatch is very difficult for me.

 

[Jake2by4]

Even more reason for Sony to develop their own.

 

[BigEmil]

Well atleast the price is reasonable

 

[Head.spawn]

I like how it straight up says it's compatible with Xbone Elite parts, lol.

The back of the box reads:

The PS4 Elite Controller allows for the most customizable gaming experience for your PlayStation 4 console.

-Switch between D-Pads and thumbstick grips for a more personalized control.

-Different combinations improve accuracy, speed, and reach, so you can master any game.

-Bluetooth controller can also work with the included micro USB braised cable.

-Compatible with Xbox Elite Controller accessories. For use with PlayStation 4.

-The included joysticks are held by a magnet and a reinforced ring and can easily be switched out.

-The included joystick grips are made from a hybrid silicone, especially engineered for performance.

-The 4 back paddles work with the preset configuration to execute different moves and customize your gaming experience even more. The preset configuration is for the fron buttons (X, O, [ ], /\).

- Trigger buttons can be locked to only push halfway, allowing for faster button clicking. You can easily switch back to full range trigger motion.

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

Why did they use the old thumb sticks...

Who made this btw?

 

[GhostTrick]

Why did they use the old thumb sticks...

They use both.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Got my Xbox Elite and a CronusMax. I'm good.

 

[Alucrid]

so who is this made by?

 

[Elitist1945]

The parts look a 1:1 to Microsoft's Elite controller. Is that even legal? lol

 

[2+2=5]

It doesn't look bad, but i don't like the upper silver part.

 

[thuway]

That D pad. What the hell.

 

[SolidChamp]

so who is this made by?

China.

Definitely a cheap-o from China or some such place. Just the way this text is worded, coupled with the errors...

So yeah, no.

 

[NewDust]

Well atleast the price is reasonable

All I see is an ugly as sin controller, with included plastic knock-off Xbox Elite controller parts, and rubberized (sweaty) grips. I don't see how $80 is reasonable. Yes compared to the X elite it is, but eventhough great quality, that one is massively overpriced.

 

[ethomaz]

Looks really bad from the picture.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

What the fuck is the price even like on mobile it'd nowhere to be seen

 

[GeordieMark]

I wouldn't trust this to last as long as a regular DS4.

 

[Falchion]

Real talk, I know it's a complete rip off but I would play the shit out of that.

 

[Vitacat]

Time for a law suit.

 

[AdmiralSnackbar]

I don't know what I expected but I didn't think it would be EXACTLY the same thing.

This would be great if it actually matches the quality of the Xbox one.

Spoiler

it won't

 

[Hidden One]

Controller would probably break right out the box.

 

[WadeitOut]

I don't get it. What is the brand of this? Is the brand "Elite Controller"?

 

[Kibbles]

I wouldn't trust this to last as long as a regular DS4.

So not long at all?

I'd buy it if I still had a ps4

 

[Mindlog]

I'll never be able to understand the aesthetic assessment of gaming peripherals. Analog sticks are analog sticks.

I wouldn't trust this to last as long as a regular DS4.

Probably built on the same assembly line.

 

[chozen]

but did it fix the battery life

 

[Bsigg12]

They literally tried to copy as much as possible from the Elite to a DS4.

 

[cyber_ninja]

This thing is straight up FUGLY. Ewwww....

 

[Futurematic]

Gah, Sony better release a premium controller, I'm vaguely tempted by this terrible thing. (Anybody online sell an Elite with PS buttons? Or how hard would it be to mod that?)

 

[wig]

It looks like a cheap X1 Elite controller knock off. I'll pass.

 

[rubes7844]

Even more reason for Sony to develop their own.

They can barely get 2FA going, and you expect them to develop an elite controller? Cmon man /s

 

[deletethis123]

I'm surprised there isn't something from a more decent brand yet. If you want something like the Elite controller on PS4 your best option is to use an adapter or a Scuf controller.

Razer should've already made one since PS is the big console this gen and many current PC titles support PS4 controllers, but they haven't made one yet for whatever reason (despite them having one for Android, two for the 360 and one for XBO as well as arcade sticks for 360 and XBO). Sony hasn't made one either and Hori's isn't as good as the Elite controller.

 

[blame space]

is there such thing as a 4th party?

 

[Deft Beck]

The similarity to the Xbox One Elite controller will get this company in trouble.

 

[mollipen]

Those sticks ruin the controller

Those style of sticks were the best part of the DualShock 3, and the switch from convex to concave was the biggest mistake made on the DS4.

This controller looks pretty ugly, but those sticks look like something I'd lovd to have.
