I still don't understand why PS4 Controllers are so ridiculously expensive, maybe it's because of the durability and the premium finish.

Expensive? Compared to which one, XBone's? They're almost the same worldwide depending on the retailers. And in nigeria, XBone's is like 7-10k more expensive than DS4

No i mean compared to PS3 controllers. The PS3 controller is 3.5k and the difference between the two of them is just the touchpad & light bar.

MasterPDON:
I see. Thanks. I'll do some research and if I see that there are enough games using the touchpad and gyroscope, I'll get the ps4.

As far as I'm concerned, all games use the touchpad as a replacement of the Select/Back button or zooming in maps using two fingers. And i don't think you're going to like the gyroscope on PC. For me, i use non of those features, i just connect the pad with Bluetooth and play my PES peacefully

I've already decided that I'll get the ps3 pad. I'm sure the touchpad and gyroscope won't improve my gaming experience. Ps4 pad is almost thrice the price of ps3. No need to spend that much if the ps3 pad will give me what I really, really need - Accurate analog controls and triggers.

Oh, ok... My bad

Ps3 pad isn't as convenient as p4 pad, it's not as durable either. P3 pad lasts for about 2 months of heavy usage, p4 pad lasts at least 8 months.

I'm feeling crazy that people are still complaining that PS3/PS4 Controllers are expensive. Why didn't they ever get introduced to something like - xPadder, & DS4Windows? I use DS4Windows to play my favorite games. DS4Windows enables you to play and experience a great number of PC games using your PS4, PS5, or Nintendo controllers.

Working as a gamepad input mapper and a virtual emulator for Xbox 360 Controller, DS4Windows allows you to connect your DualSense / PS5, Dual Shock 3/4 (PS3 / PS4), and Nintendo (Joycon/Switch Pro) controllers via USB or Bluetooth to your Windows 10/11 PC. In simple terms, you are connecting your Sony/Nintendo controller with a virtual Xbox Controller allowing you to play PC games.

If anyone facing any issues while setting up - I would love to help our fellow gamers

I bought an Xbox one controller in 2020 and I've had no issues yet. The analog placement are very easy to get used to

You're totally right! The fact that people still complain about PS3/PS4 controllers being expensive is surprising, especially when there are such great solutions out there like DS4Windows. It’s such a game-changer for anyone who loves using PlayStation or Nintendo controllers on PC. DS4Windows not only lets you map inputs and emulate an Xbox controller, but it also makes it so much easier to get those controllers working seamlessly with all kinds of games. Plus, the ability to use them via Bluetooth or USB is super convenient.

It’s great that you're willing to help others set it up. There’s no reason people should be stuck when trying to get their favorite controllers to work with their PC. It's all about making gaming more accessible and enjoyable for everyone!
