Sony PS4 Pad - Wireless Controller - WITH ORIGINAL CHARGING CORD

The DualShock 4 (CUH-ZCT1 or CUH-ZCT2) is the PlayStation 4's controller. It has several new features from DualShock 3. One new feature is a built-in two-point capacitive touch pad on the front of the controller, which can be clicked.[30] This allows the touch pad to represent multiple buttons, as demonstrated in the PS4 version of Elite Dangerous in which the four corners of the touch pad can be mapped to a separate clickable actions.[31] The controller supports motion detection via a three-axis gyroscope and three-axis accelerometer and vibration.[30] It includes a non-removable,[32]rechargeable 3.7 V, 1000 mAh lithium-ion battery, which can be charged while the system is in rest mode. It weighs 210 g (7.4 oz) and has dimensions of 162 mm × 52 mm × 98 mm (6.4 in × 2.0 in × 3.9 in).[32]

The front of the controller features a light bar containing three LEDs that, when lit in conjunction, cause the light bar to glow a variety of colors. Developed for PlayStation VR,[33] it can be used to identify players by matching the colors of the characters they control in a game, or to provide enhanced feedback or immersion by changing patterns or colors in reaction to gameplay.[34][35] An early example of this is displayed in the game Grand Theft Auto V; the light bar will flash red and blue when the player is wanted by the police, simulating the flashing lights of a police car. The light bar is also used in conjunction with the PlayStation Camera to judge the positions and movements of multiple players.[34]

The controller features several input and output connectors: a stereo headset jack (3.5 mm CTIA TRRSconnector), a micro-USB port, and an extension port.[30] It can be charged using the console, using a dedicated charging station, or via microUSB using a standalone charger.[30] It also includes a mono speaker, like the Wii Remote, and is the second major controller in video game history to have such feature.[30]

The DualShock 4 features the following buttons: PS button, SHARE button, OPTIONS button, directional buttons, action buttons (triangle, circle, cross,[36] square), shoulder buttons (R1/L1), triggers (R2/L2), analog stick click buttons (L3/R3), and a touch pad click button.[30]These mark several changes from the DualShock 3 and other previous PlayStation controllers. The START and SELECT buttons have been merged into a single OPTIONS button.[30][32] A dedicated SHARE button allows players to upload screenshots and videos from their gameplay experiences.[30] The joysticks and triggers have been redesigned based on developer input,[30] with the ridged surface of the joysticks now featuring an outer ring surrounding the convex dome caps.
