Wowsers... How is that even legal? I mean, it looks kinda cool, but you know this thing is nowhere near the good quality level. Yikes :/.

Sony's controller build is pure sh*t, battery and sticks. It's either this or Chronomax and my X1 Elite.
 
I think it looks surprisingly good. I may end up being the test dummy for this... and I own an elite for comparison purposes.

Looks like they used parts from the Xbox elite controller production, put them on/in a DS4 controller case.
I mean even L1/L2 look like LT/LB on the elite controller

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
lmao this looks exactly like Xbox Elite Controller.

Come on sony, make your own. Don't let these other knock off company make money so easily.

Yeah, I don't get the hate either. Let us know what you think if you get it.

I have to wonder though if this means Sony could be readying their own Elite controller and the 3rd party is trying to get it out there early and at a cheaper price point.

I need to see it in person before I can pass full judgement, but it looks okay from the pictures I've seen.

I don't think Sony needs to create a full blown version of the XB1 Elite controller but a Semi-Pro one.
 
Really don't like that at all... if a more premium version of DS4 is to be sold, have it come from the Sony design team.

This looks like the controller you'd give to your friend's friend that you don't like when your friends come over.
 
I'd have to see the price but something about those face buttons look cheap to me. Like they're squishy or something, idk.

Cease and desist incoming.

Pretty sure that Microsoft had to pay SCUF to use the paddles on the Elite controller and that d-pad design is copyrighted.
 
Yeah that is a blatant ripoff... If the quality is decent enough it could be a good controller as the Xbox elite is excellent!

Wow, that thing is pretty ugly.

I kinda want one...

Looks like the options and share buttons were replaced by capacitive touch strips (or whatever those things are called)? I'm not sure if that's better or worse...

Jesus, what a rip off of the true Elite. Dpad, name, trigger locks, color of various parts, hell even the box are near copy pastes of the greatest controller of all time.
 
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.

I agree. The DS3 sticks had a good texture to them and just enough grip. They also were larger and I've always thought the DS4 sticks are too small and the concave nature of them add nothing.

omg, it literally looks like an Xbox Elite but in DS4 form. so weird.

I got the SCUF PS4 controller and it's been going well.

Nope. The switch to concave sticks were for the best.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
That look cheap as fuck, and what hell is that on the d-pad.
Edit: Just googled it, looks like Xbox One one too, who would buy such stupid cheap looking crap, reminds me of those 3rd party pad you could get for the SNES and MD.
Edit2: oh the Xbox One Elite is Official and dam expensive...Wow.
