Question 1

Does this controller work with a PS4 Pro?

Accepted Answer

Results vary: one reviewer reported it turned off after 8 minutes on a PS4 Pro and had to be unplugged and replugged, while the listing states it fits PlayStation 4/Pro/Slim. Another reviewer said it worked as a true corded controller connecting to the PS4 via USB.

Question 2

Is this controller reliable over time?

Accepted Answer

Reviews are mixed: one reviewer used it for a couple of years and said it still works like a charm, while others reported it stopped working in under two months or disconnected frequently.

Question 3

How is the build quality and button responsiveness?

Accepted Answer

Several reviewers described snappy response and solid build quality, but one reported the D-pad sometimes inputs the wrong axis when pressing near another axis, getting worse with use.

Question 4

Is it easy to set up on a PC?

Accepted Answer

The listing says it is plug-and-play with no drivers needed and includes a 6.5 ft cable, and one reviewer confirmed great plug-and-play that was ready to go out of the box with Steam games.

Question 5

Does the touchpad work like a real PS4 controller's?

Accepted Answer

No, the listing states the central button does not work as a touchpad, and one reviewer noted the touchpad won't register with games that use sliding or gliding.
