A couple of years ago "Sony" introduced its new console called PlayStation 4. It is the heiress of the legendary "PS 3", and therefore it just can not hit the face with dirt. What is special about the new "PS 4"? Improved hardware, support for new services, innovative technologies. But, perhaps, the main innovation is the gamepad, which got the name Dualshock 4. Do you want to learn more about it?

PS4 Dualshock 4

"Sony" always followed the rule: "The new console - a new gamepad." 2013, when the company introduced its PlayStation 4, was no exception. "Sony" presented a new joystick at the gaming exhibition E3, and the device made a real sensation. It was immediately noticeable that the company invested a lot of energy and time in the development of Dualshock 4. Thanks to the stylish design, modern technologies and interesting technical solutions, the gamepad was much more advanced than the one used in the Xbox One. Dualshock 4 is a real guide to the world of drive and video games. But is it so good? Is the device indeed no flaws? The answers to these and many other questions can be found in this article.

Design

The appearance of the device, as always, at a height. It so happened that the guys from "Sonya" know how to do stylish things. The gamepad looks very stylish. Even the "seams" left after the welding of plastic, do not seem to be a forced measure, but a necessity that only complements the design of the device. Also it is impossible not to notice the futuristic notes that make the gamepad more modern. However, the Sony Dualshock 4 is not too far away from the classics. Geymad complies with all the canons of the Dualshock line.

Perhaps, one of the main innovations is the touch panel. "Sony" decided that the yard had long been not the nineties. The era of "Dandy" and "Mega Drive" has sunk into oblivion. It's time to move on. It is for this reason that specialists from Sony have removed the bored Start / Select buttons. And their heavy burden on himself took a brand new touch-screen, which, among other things, is able to understand gestures. And it's quite an interesting and convenient thing. For example, now during the game in order to perform a certain action, you just need to svapnut on the screen.

The touch panel will help the user and outside the games. Earlier typing characters in the browser was terribly inconvenient. After all, you had to search for each letter individually and click on it. Forget about this hard work - those troubled times have passed! After all, now you can enter data through a new touch-screen. And this just can not but rejoice.

Near the touchpad, you can see two new buttons. Share allows you to share a gameplay record from the game with your friends. This is quite an amusing function that provides social interaction. The Options button, as you can understand by name, brings up the settings menu at the same time.

Ergonomics

Sony Dualshock 4 has retained the same settings as the fellow. Therefore, if you literally grew to Dualshock 3, then you will not have to retrain. Moreover, by playing a couple of hours with Dualshock 4, you do not want to return to the older model. The gamepad has rather modest dimensions. Therefore, even after long playing sessions, there is not a drop of fatigue in the hands. The back panel is a little rough. Due to this, the joystick does not slip and does not crochet in the hands.

The Dualshock 4 has a built-in vibration driver, accelerometer and gyroscope. All this is necessary during the game, the use of such technologies brings new sensations. Now it's much easier to dive into the game world, and it's much more pleasant to perform various actions by touch-screen than pressing buttons.

A glowing diode indicator is another control element that will provide a comfortable game. It can shine in one of four colors, among which red, blue, green and white. First of all, this is necessary so that in a large company you know which of the joysticks is yours. In addition, the indicator is required for interaction with the Eye camera (something like "Kinekt" from "Microsoft").

Features

Since Dualshock 4 uses a whole bunch of sophisticated technologies (gyroscope, accelerometer, LED indicator, etc.), it's not at all surprising that the joystick sits pretty fast. Full charge, usually enough for 6 hours of continuous play. However, if the game is in full swing, and the gamepad is already ready to "go to bed," it can be connected via a USB cable to the console itself. Of course, in this case the joystick will be wired, however it can work as much as you like.

Everyone knows that playing races, fighting games, football through the keyboard is a perversion. The guys from "Sony" decided to take pity on PC gamers. It is for this reason that the new gamepad supports the computer. But how to connect Dualshock 4 to a PC? Everything is as simple as possible. You must connect the joystick via the USB cable. However, in order to get the full functionality (including touchpad, gyroscope and other buns), you will have to download special drivers. You can find them on the official website of "Sony".

The result

Dualshock 4 - a delightful device that has a lot of advantages. In general, we can say that the upgrade was successful and the new joystick is superior to the Grandpa Dualschock 3 in all respects. And considering that Dualshock 4 costs about $ 60, it's also an advantageous acquisition for PC gamers.
