HORI HoriPad FPS Plus - (PS4) PlayStation 4 & (PS3) PlayStation 3

I've been using these for over a decade. They last forever even though I've got to replace the rubber on analog sticks every 6 years. They're at least 10x better than the garbage controllers that come with your console for free. The turbo is insanely fast. The FPS button is so addictive I can't play any game without this controller. PS5 doesn't support it, so I won't buy PS5. Wish Hori would make current gen version.

I mainly play shooters so i was looking for a backup controller to my Scuf Impact and stumbled across the Hori FPS Plus. Now i owned all of the Xbox consoles so i am very familiar with the stick layout but have zero issues with the dualshock 4 layout. Upon opening the Hori I wad not super impressed Yes i knew it was going to be light due to not having the vibration motors but it just seemed kinda cheap and plasticky. Its similar to the 360 controller design and didn't feel that bad in my hands. Loaded up Fortnite and any negative feelings about the controller disappeared immediately. The triggers despite how they appear in pictures work great. I can swap weapons with L1 and R1 so much faster it isnt funny. Then the L2 and R2 have shorter travel distance than that of the dualshock 4 or my Scuf and makes it much easier to win gunfights. My accuracy also seems much better this far. My kills per match has doubled easily. Also note there is no headphone jack but I use a wireless controller so i dont need it. And the instructions are in Japanese so you will need them translated to figure out the special buttons. Im not using them nor did i plan to so i haven't used rhe turbo feature. Still great controller for the price. EDIT....forgot to mention that the cable is about 9ft long which is far too long for my desktop setup. I have it tied off so im not tripping on it Also its a cheap rubber which tangles easily. Which it was braided and removable like the one on the Nacon Revolution version 2. That way it could be replaced if damaged or switched with a much shorter cable for people that dont need a 9ft cable

I wanted an alternative to the DualShock 4 controller and have found they are severely lacking. This is one of the few on the market. This controller can be used with a PS3 or PS4, with a simple switch on the bottom edge of it to designate which console you are using it with. Also, keep in mind that this is a wired controller, and has a long cord of about 10 feet. I had no issues with the cord being long enough to reach the console from my couch. It also lacks rumble, motion sensor, and the light bar. It does have a fully functional touchpad though. The FPS Plus is a bit larger than a traditional DualShock 4 and is shaped more like an Xbox One controller than a DS4. It is also very light weight because of the lack of motors for the rumble and a battery, yet it does not feel flimsy. It has asymmetrical sticks like Xbox controllers, so if you can't stand that I would pass on it. I find it to be very comfortable in my hands, and I like the covering for the sticks because it lacks the ridges around the edge. It has a nice sticky feel so it doesn't feel like my thumbs will slip off. Also the triggers and bumpers are larger than found on a DS4. Speaking of the triggers, they are not analog triggers, just on/off, making this controller useless for driving games. This was obviously designed for shooters and action games. As for fans of shooters, this controller has a tiny little trigger on the button of the controller, easily accessible with your left middle finger. When you hold this trigger down it lowers the sensitivity of the right stick, so you can make fine aiming adjustments, going back to normal as soon as you release it. There are 3 different sensitivity settings that are easily switched between using a switch next to the PS4/PS3 one. I tried this out in Ratchet and Clank and it actually works well. There is a definite difference between the 3 settings, with the lowest being super slow for aiming, the middle somewhat slower than regular aiming speed, and the highest just slightly slower than regular. Other features include being able to assign a turbo function to any particular button, and the ability to copy one button to another. With the turbo feature, you can adjust how fast it repeats. The button copying function, when used multiple times, is a way you can remap buttons, if in a rather tedious manner. The instructions come in Japanese but there are good videos on Youtube that show you how to use the various functions, Just search for "fps plus tutorial" on Youtube to find some. Concerning the price, I paid about $50 for it. Is it worth the money? That depends on what a person wants out of it. I see this controller being advantageous for people who play shooters a lot, especially when combined with some stick extenders. The turbo and button remapping may not be useful with many of today's games but some people will like those functions. I like the controller and it's nice to not have to worry about the battery dying, to avoid having to interrupt gameplay to switch to another controller. I would like to see something like this with analog triggers so it can be used for more variety of games, but I would recommend it to fans of any shooter or actions games that don't require the motion sensor, and who don't mind asymmetrical sticks. PROS: Lightweight Nice feel to buttons and sticks Comfortable to hold for long periods of time Aiming assist trigger for precision aiming Turbo and remapping functions No recharging CONS: You are tethered to a wire No analog triggers The D-pad isn't as good as the DS4 one Instructions in Japanese only Price could be a little cheaper considering the lack of rumble, motion sensor and wireless capability

This is an okay controller. It's not great, it's not spectacular, it's simply "okay". It works and it does so well in some cases. However, there are downsides to this controller. Let's start with the cons. Cons: * No headphone jack * No accessory jack * No rumble * No LED light (both a con and pro) * No speaker * No SixAxis * Shoulder buttons can be difficult to use until you get the hang of it. They're buttons, not triggers. * Paint job wears off of buttons * Drift is common on some games * Controller can disconnect randomly * PS button won't turn on the PS4 What this all means is that games that require any or all of the above may be diminished when using this controller. For example, playing Detroit Become Human (or any other similar SixAxis games) won't be possible with this controller. Meaning, it has no motion detection. So, if a game asks you to jerk the controller down or forward, this is not possible with the Hori Pad. For games that send audio to the controller's speaker, this also not possible (Grand Theft Auto). Pros: * Asymmetrical Joysticks like the Xbox One * No LED light to blind you at night (see, I told it was also a pro) * Fully functional and full sized touch pad * Auto-repeating programmable button press * Sensitivity setting on bottom of controller * Re assign buttons on the controller * Reasonably sturdy build * Mostly rugged design * No batteries * Extremely light At $50, which is not far off in price tag of the full featured wireless PS4 controller from Sony, you'd really expect something more. Yes, it's a USB controller, which means it is wired... and that's good in a pinch, should you need it to be wired. The difficulty is that it doesn't have all the features, such as it is missing a speaker, rumble, SixAxis, the LED, a 3.5mm headphone jack and the accessory connector. This means you'll need to figure out other ways to hook up a chat headset (i.e., wirelessly) or a keyboard to the PS4 if you want to use this controller. Does this controller offer any benefit over its wireless cousin? None that I can really tell. I was expecting a much more responsive controller with USB, but in reality the Sony SixAxis wireless controller functions just as well for responsiveness as this wired controller... and because the PS4 controller is full featured, it has more options for the price. A primary benefit of this controller is that it has no batteries. This means you don't have to stop your gaming session in the middle and swap controllers. You can continue to play indefinitely, assuming your game doesn't crash, of course. No need to worry about controller batteries at all. One other thing that I always do for all of my controllers is to place silicone joystick tops on each joystick. This does a few things. One, it gives me a similar grip no matter which controller I'm using as I always use the same tops. Two, the silicone tops protect the joystick tops from wearing off or falling apart. Three, they're replaceable when they wear out, unlike the built-in tops... making it easy to replace the silicone grip tops. I can also move the tops from controller to controller. That helps me with pretty much any controller, but it works out well on this Hori Pad. It also helps the controller last longer. I've owned a single Hori Pad for going on 3 years. Though, the painted symbols on the buttons have mostly worn off. It's not by any stretch a perfect joypad. No. Is it worth $50? Um... it depends. For me, it was. For others, it may not be. $50 is a price point that should really offer better value and quality for the money. If you use the programmable repeating action of the joystick, it probably is worth the $50. If you never use this feature, it probably isn't. It also feels a bit cheap in the hands and is very light... surprisingly light. That lightness is mostly because there's no rumble or battery to weigh it down. Even the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack, accessory jack, LED and speaker all further reduce the weight of this joypad... making it easily one of the lightest joypads I've ever used. It is, in fact, the polar opposite in weight of the Xbox One Elite controller, which is easily one of the heaviest controllers. Holding a brick in your hand can be very fatiguing. Having a light controller, at least for me, is an excellent pro and helps me play games longer without fatigue. Being asymmetrical with its joystick design also aids in reducing fatigue. This controller has a lot of trade-offs for that $50, though. I'd suggest reading through the pros and cons above to understand best how this controller might work for your gaming needs and what trade-offs you may be required to consider. Ignore the dust all over my controller's image, but this is how mine looks after having used it since 2016.

I was skeptical about getting a third party controller. However, this is the best controller I have probably ever used. Yes, there are cons, but those aren't detrimental to this review because those cons are advertised with the product. The controller works great, and the assymetrical layout is very fantastic. The touchpad works fine and all of the buttons and joysticks have no flaws. Yes, the instructions are in Japanese, but a simple youtube tutorial can help you wto use the special buttons on it, which I don't really use anyways. The cord is exactly 9.8 feet long, and it is very light due to missing vibration device and battery pack. Again, these are in the description of the controller, and not really issues to me. I am so thankful I bought this controller and it has already made a significant improvement in the amount of fun I have when plahying PS4.

Comfortable for large hands and quality build.

Let me start off by saying that I really wanted to like this controller. After playing for about an hour, it remained comfortable in my hand, and, despite other reviewers complaining about its weight, I thought that it being so light was a good thing. The layout is nice, the "triggers" (really just buttons in the back because they're not analog) are a nice touch, especially for shooters, and overall it is ergonomic. I'm also boggled by people complaining about the long cable, which is a nice touch because I don't sit right up against my TV, and most cables are entirely too short (roughly 3ft). The features are really nifty, like the turbo button and the button underneath the controller that can tighten sensitivity by holding, which can be configured using a toggle switch. All in all, this should be an excellent controller save for its poor manufacturing. Frankly, this thing's circuitry must be a joke because it's buggy and within 24 hours, the triggers stopped responding properly. For example, if I'm looking down the sights in an FPS while sniping, left trigger compressed, it will randomly jump back to hip several times before reengaging the sights. Also, sometimes I'll hit the right trigger to fire and nothing will happen. I'm not used to hair triggers, so it's not an issue of me not pressing the thing hard enough—it just sometimes doesn't work. This controller is absolutely not worth the price. If it was maybe $20, I wouldn't worry about it. The phrase, "you get what you pay for" does not at all apply to this gamepad by any stretch of the imagination. If the thing is bugging out within the first day of use, it's made poorly. Simple as that.

10/10 quality for the price. Awesome controller fits perfect in 'man hands'. Controller is lightweight and fills your grip just like the Xbone controller does. Great if you hate the stick placement and lousy battery life the Dualshock has, like I do. The buttons are snappy and it has light trigger pulls for less hand fatigue. I own an Xbox Elite pad and I prefer this Hori to it. I love the offset left analog stick. It was the reason I bought it. The Nacon is not as nice as this one for the money... save you money and buy 2 of these and a new game too (for the price)! The neatest thing about the controller is the L2 and R2 buttons. Fully pressed is a half pull, push a little more us a full pull. I'm playing Sniper Elite 4 and the L2 button is awesome because a regular pull brings up the crosshairs, a slightly firmer pull brings up the scope. Less hand fatigue than the half analog pull it takes on the Dualshock. Basicallt the desd zone is a half pull and slightly firmer is a full pull. It sucks that this isn't wireless. So spend an extra $10 and get a 10' USB 3.0 extension cord to go with it. It works fine in conjunction with the controller. I got the TNP Superspeed 3.0 and it came delivered (on a Sunday even!) with the controller.

Lighter than a Dualshock, comfortable to hold and inputs are responsive.

I have both the PS4 and Xbox One consoles, so not to start a fanboy fight here but the PS4 seems to run a little bit smoother than Xbox One when it comes to FPS games but the Xbox one controller (in my opinion) is a far better and more comfortable controller. The Hori Controller allows me to have the best of both worlds and as soon as I plugged it in, my K/D ratio doubled when playing COD BO III and destiny. For me, the difference was amazing and just sticking my KontrolFreeks onto the joysticks, I was finishing top three every game as opposed to bottom three with the PS4 controller. The downside (which is clearly stated in the item description) is that it has no earphone jack or rumble pack but I knew this when I bought, so it is what it is. The upside is, it has no battery or rumble pack and thus the controller is very light but still solidly built. As it's a wired controller (with a 3m cable), I really feel it's more responsive and has zero lag when aiming and it seems I'm winning most of the quick draw gun encounters than I was before with the PS4 controller.

Si buscas un mando cómodo y de gran calidad para la PS4, este es! El cable mide 3 metros (más que suficiente para prácticamente cualquier salón/habitación) y al no ser bluetooth el tiempo de respuesta es mucho mejor que hasta el de los mandos oficiales de la consola. Al no tener ni batería ni sistema de vibración el mando es ultra ligero. Los sticks asimetricos (estilo mando xbox) son MUCH más cómodos que los tradicionales de sony (aunque al principio puede costar acostumbrarse a ellos). Resumiendo, un mando MUY recomendado si buscas algo cómodo, duradero y de altas prestaciones.

とあるコネクターをつけてPS3やスイッチ あとPCでも大活躍！予備も買おうー！ 有線だけど軽いから疲れない！ 振動は無いですけどね

Pour ma part, ce pad est parfait pour jouer notamment aux FPS, et je pense aussi pour tous ceux qui préfèrent l'ergonomie des pad de la Xbox 360. Filaire ? Très bien, la connexion est assurée, au maximum et sans risque de coupure comme avec des batteries. Pas de vibrations ? Tant mieux, ça ne m'aide pas pour jouer et je coupe cette option de toute façon. On ne peut pas allumer la console depuis la manette ? C'est vrai, cela demande un effort insurmontable... Les gâchettes ne sont pas analogiques ? Tant mieux, pour un tir rapide c'est un avantage ! Mis à part ça, le mode d'emploi était en japonais. Mais on trouve facilement sur Youtube ou ailleurs des explications. Celles ci permettront de tirer parti de l'auto fire et des autres fonctions dont je ne me sert pas.
