The PS4 has had an excellent generation, despite its slow start with must-play exclusive games. But while those big marquee exclusives trickled out slowly, the PS4 held on by delivering the best console versions of most third-party games. Now, the PS4 is knocking out multiple big exclusives every year, three of which will release in 2020–Final Fantasy VII Remake, Ghost of Tsushima, and The Last of Us Part II. Throughout the PS4’s lifespan, however, Sony’s DualShock 4 has been an incredible controller to experience all of the PS4’s games with–especially since all it takes is the push of a button to share incredible moments like a hilarious glitch or beating a Bloodborne boss without getting touched.
The DualShock 4 is a great pad, but looking at what Microsoft is doing with the controller options for Xbox One, it can feel a little disappointing not having an official PS4 Elite-style controller. Sony recently released a back-button accessory that maps two of the DualShock 4’s buttons and lets you keep your thumbs on the analog sticks when you want to crouch, jump, reload, or anything in between. However, it doesn’t bridge the gap completely, and if you’re looking for a little more from your DualShock 4 controller, there are plenty of great third-party PS4 controller options.
Scuf has a couple of great pads in the Infinity4PS Pro and the Vantage 2, both of which feature back paddles and a number of other excellent customizable parts–you can even replace the Infinity4PS Pro’s triggers with clicky, mouse-like buttons. Razer also has a pair of great controllers that feature extra buttons, multiple configuration profiles, and trigger stops. And those are just a few of the best PS4 controllers we have on this list.
