"Great controller"
5 stars"

I've been playing games with this controller for about two weeks and so far I love it! I thought the angular structure would be uncomfortable for gripping but I was wrong. The grip is comfortable and all buttons feels solid and durable. It has a 3-meter long wire and I don't need to worry about recharge.

"Pretty good for a wired controller"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It's not amazing as if the cable gets stuck and you don't get it unstuck properly, the part where the cable is on the controller becomes loose and the wires inside become a bit visible. Also, not sure if it's like this for every controller but the left analog stick is a big jiffy when moving diagonally down left/right. Moving in the game is fine tho, and it can be solved by just pressing the stick down.

Otherwise it's a good controller :)

"Doesn't even turn on after just 5 months of light use"
1 stars"

Was good while it was working and can't get any support from Playmax at all.

"Decent Controller"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I bought a couple of controllers around a month or more ago, and they have both been working fine, do keep in mind that there is no headphone port, so unless you already got a USB headset then you might be forking $30 for a usb adapter. It can also be a bit hard to handle compared to the original ps4 controller, but my brother plays with it, and is able to play just as good and at time better than me with a mouse and keyboard for games like call of duty

"Excellent Controller"
5 stars"

I am happy with this controller, it works perfectly and the analog sticks feel as good as a Sony one especially as it is much cheaper, no need to charge as its plugged in all the time, just plug and play, I have been getting good kills with it on Battlefield 4 using jets and helicopters

"Not for hardcore gaming but a great control nonetheless."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Great for the price, bit stiff and not great for hardcore gaming but was bought for a youtubing and young kids games so is great for that.

"KEEPS DISCONNECTING"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Would not recommend as it disconnects every few minutes since I've received the item.

"DO BOT BUY"
1 stars"

I have a playmax ps4 controller and it cannot be used to initialize the ps4 after a factory reset. aka you will not be able to use your ps4 AT ALL without a proper dualshock 4 to complete initialization. Playmaxx website does not even work so theres zero support .

"Steer clear"
1 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Very bad ergonomics, weird hard angles that make prolonged use a pain, and the share and option buttons are too small, made of bad rubber material, and placed awkwardly close to the analog sticks.

Just spend the extra $$ and get a name-brand aftermarket unit or the original Sony model.

"It works well while up to date"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The controller needs to be updated through a PC to be able to work with the PS4 each time there's an update. The problem is that the controller updates take a long time to be released. While it is up to date, i haven't had any problems with it. But while it isn't, I find it can be extremely finicky.
