What's new

New PS4 wireless controller from Hori

C-Sword

Noob
For those who like the X-Box layout better, it`s called the Onyx

With some more details, this controller doesn't have the light bar or speaker that comes with the standard Dualshock 4. Because it has the touchpad it will still work fine with the rest of your Playstation 4 games, and the battery life should be better as well. Controller should be out on the 15th in Europe, when it will be available in NA and the rest of the world, not confirmed yet.

I keep looking at the pic while playing with my FC4's. I'm pretty sure I think this thing is sexy.

Only down side is I'm not sure I need one, since I next to never play anything but fighters.
 
I can't speak for Storms but he probably means the shape is too much like the Xbox one, and that he prefers the PS4 DS4 shape.
You see I have the opposite issue I feel like the ps4 pad is for ppl with baby fingers lol . Now if I really love this new pad from Hori I’m not going see a reason for me to have this brook converter so we will see the moment these release I’m going next day ship here in the us . So I’ll see what’s up
 
i have an issue playing with arcade stick: its too loud, lol. although there are silent buttons, i am considering to play dbfz and mk11 with an pad.
this one is looking good!

I guess it is being specifically promoted as being for Xbox people. I tend to only use my ds4 pad to turn on the ps4, so I'm not particularly attached to it.

When someone does get a hold of one of these, I'm going to be interested in what they have to say.

If anyone has used a HORI Fighting Commander, the d-pad on the Onyx seems similar. Which is good, because that d-pad is great.

Would be great for the tournament players that play on XB1 pads. There's also 2 other alternative controllers that are to be released...one by Nacon and the other by @Play. I'm extremely curious of the @Play one, seeing as the d-pad is circular.
 
XONE dpad is great but it wears out hella fast.

PS4 dpad is not quite as good but lasts quite a while more.

Heres hoping its the best of both worlds.
 
hey guys,
i did buy one but i send it back because it sucks! buttons r1/r2 l1/l2 and the dpad are pure shit imo.
i dont recommend it to you guise

stick to your ps4 or use a ps2 pad with a brook converter!
