Best playstation 4 adapters according to redditors

Yep. I just learned about it myself a few weeks ago. Reviews seem good

ps4s are cheap dont require setup and all fighting game organizers are already running on them.

They have just become the standard, even in cases where there is more latency on a ps4



they do however make these

From what I found it’s just a mute and volume switch. link

Not actually true. They do support and even have a Bluetooth dongle for it now.

I had a lot of hand pain from using PS4 controllers, so I bought this adapter. I’ve been using an Xbox One S controller to play MLB 18 The Show with no issues at all. It’s not perfect, but my hands don’t hurt anymore and I finally have a baseball game I can play.

Fosmon, I believe. Got 2 on Amazon for about $15, I have yet to open the second one. (Headset Audio Control for PS4 DualShock Controller (2 Pack), Fosmon 3.5mm TRRS Jack PC Gaming Headphone Audio Adapter

Also can use the ps4 dongle to connect ds4 for wireless, no idea why its so expensive on Amazon, I think it was $15 on release

If you want a device that will be more useable downthe road technically. It let's you use pretty much any wireless/Bluetooth controller on any major console or pc

I guess you mean a USB hub, not extension cable?
Yes, they are compatible. Several companies sell plug-in hubs that sacrifice one USB 3 port for (usually) 4 USB 2.1 ports, leaving one USB 3 direct connection. Example (Amazon)
You can also use an external hub, in which case you should opt for a powered one.

I use one of these:

BEBONCOOL PS4 Slim HUB High Speed Charger Controller Splitter Expansion Adapter (Only for PS4 Slim) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XMQ79WC?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

That one’s the right size for the Slim but I think they do them for Pro as well. It matches the profile of the front of the PS4 and gives you 3x USB2 and 1x USB3

This is great for charging my DS4s and headphones but only having a single USB3 means I need to swap the cable for PSVR and the dongle for my headphones, as they only operate properly on the USB3 port.

The best solution, technically, would be a powered USB3 hub, but I was trying to reduce cabling and clutter in my cabinet.

Well yes and no because May flash has a device that you can plug in so that you don't ever need a controller https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Mayflash-MagicBoots-Converter-PlayStation-4/dp/B01N66G4HE/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=magic+boots&qid=1574738525&sprefix=magic+boots&sr=8-2

Do you have a source for that? Because Valve seems to get by fine with the Steam Controller. I think this is probably the actual reason, not Microsoft.

If you can't find earbuds like that, you could buy something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7HFX3J

With that you have volume control and a mute button for any headphones.

The only way to avoid a controller is to pick up a PS4 Dongle which is like 10 bucks. But for the most part, I strictly use my F500 for PC only. Decided to grab a HORI pro 4 to play on consoles. The dongles plug into the controller slot and SHOULD work properly. I haven't tried this yet tbh

Edit this should work
Gam3Gear Mayflash MAGPS4 MagicBoots FPS Adapter Joysick Converter for PS4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N66G4HE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_bFS4DbNYFKENX

Do you have a "Sony's DualShock wireless dongle" if so then you can connect wireless via big picture mode.

1st suggestion: Get this. https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Converter-Controller-Keychain-PlayStation-3/dp/B01H5PCYYW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=PS2+to+PS4&qid=1574845024&s=electronics&sr=1-1

If the one I linked doesn't work or has the same problem as yours, let me know when that happens.

2nd suggestion: I would recommend getting a Rock Band 4 guitar for the PS4.

You don't really need a ds4 if you want to use it on the PS4. I play on PC, but when I head out to tournaments I just use this adapter

I own the Hori arcade stick. I really like it and it works very well.

I also own a PS3 mad cats TE stick (mine has different art than this, best match I could find), I really like that one too. I use this usb stick to make mine work with my switch

I find that these sticks each have their own pros and cons.

|Hori|MadCatz|
|:-|:-|
|Soft plastic round buttons. Very Good|Hard plastic sawa style buttons. Perfect|
|Very hard clicking, very mechanical feeling stick. I love it. Just slightly better for change/charge moves|Softer smother stick, I also love it.|
|No lock feature, however the home button is all the way on the side so it is hard to press by accident. However I do hit start by mistake sometimes when going for a L1|Has a lock out switch, never accidentally press start or the system menu button again! Love It|
|Light weight and easy to put in your lap. Great|Heaviest stick I have every held. Still good for the lap, but I prefer a table. Also Great, but a little different|
|USB cord stores in controller. Feels Cheap|USB cord stores in controller. Feels Great|
|It's RED!|Lots of artwork options available. Pick a style that suits you!|
|Works on Switch and PC (x-input)! Change between the two with a hidden switch on the arcade stick! Wonderful Feature|Works on PS3 (and ps4 games with legacy support). Works on PC only if you set up a custom controller profile in steam. Works with switch when using the usb stick linked above. Not perfect but it will work|
|$150 New and feels like a $150 in your hands|$300-400 new and feels like $300-400 in your hands; but you won't get yours new. I don't think they are made anymore. Hunt for one on amazon or ebay, condition may very. I linked to a OEM/stock one that was going for 280 when in stock.|

I use the MadCatz on my pc as my main steam controller. I use the Hori on my switch. The adapter is used for when a friend comes over. I would never take the MadCatz stick to a competition. It only takes one drunk dudebro spilling a beer to ruin my irreplaceable controller.

If I were you, I would pick the Hori controller for simplicity and price. However if you want to try the MadCatz I found this for about 85-100, it may pair well with the use this usb stick for a very good $120-130 price tag. However the $85 sticks are stated to be in what amazon calls "acceptable condition" and may be missing packaging, manuals, or other pieces.

this one is nicer (and less lag): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075445R7C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PHtCDbVFYY4T4

Yeah I just plug into a usb slot on the back, Sony DUALSHOCK 4 USB Wireless Adapter - PlayStation 4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KHFIO82/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_P25wCbPX4ZD4R . That’s the one I got from amazon, no problems at all so far. And I use a scuf aswell

You talking about this?

That is the only official Sony adapter I can find, it is no were near the same size as most adapters, most are much better than the usb connector.

From what I have seen, it is also said to be at end of life, so hard to find new were I live and the cheapest new is 65+ delivery.

So if I was to buy it new, it would be much much bigger(the thing is fucking huge) than an all purpose and much more expensive.

If this isn't the one you are talking about can you link me to the official one you are talking about because as far as I can see, this is the only official one.

If its a dualshock 4 den u might need this

For wired, it has to be the Xbox 360 to PS4 converter or Xbox 360/Xbox One to PS4, both of them are green.

Make sure you install the latest firmware

Hello again. I just tried to get something working and had no luck, over Bluetooth or USB OTG, with ePSXe (PlayStation 1) or PPSSPP (PSP). I think it might be a combination of changes in new versions of Android and alterations made by OnePlus in OxygenOS. Sixaxis Controller may work on the 3T, but it does require root access and hasn't been confirmed to work beyond Android Marshmallow to my knowledge.

As for PC, I can get it working nicely over USB and Bluetooth on Linux (using ds4drv). On Windows, however, Bluetooth disconnects after a few seconds. Ubisoft's Steep has DS4 support, but DS4Windows can be used for games that only have Xbox controller support. I'm thinking about getting the official Sony USB Bluetooth adaptor. It can be bought for £20 in some places, which still isn't cheap, but it should be guaranteed to work on Windows and macOS.

Not to mention, 1 more usb port for shifter.

But there are hubs you can put on the front of the ps4

actually i think i got one. this'll work right?

Yeah I have GP for PC too and you're right it is incredible.

I'm really looking forwards to MS Flightsim 2020. It looks amazing.

PS Now is supposed to be going onto MS Azure at some point.

At that point they may get it to work at 1080P with little to no input lag across to board for most/many users.

It would be a great service for PC users at that point.

One of these will make your DS4 work perfectly with PS Now via PC:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-PlayStation-DualShock-Wireless-Adaptor/dp/B01KHFIO82

I bought one before I got the PS4.

We're probably a year or so away from PS Now being a perfect product for PC streaming with the USB dongle above. Or however long it takes for PS Now to get setup to run with MS Azure.

It's available on the US Amazon store:

Sorry if this seems rude but im not trying to be... Have you tried to get the official controller? they sell a usb adapter for ps4 controllers now like the ones for xbox controllers

No.

However, you can use one of these adapters (make sure you update the adapter's firmware first): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075445R7C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PHtCDbVFYY4T4

You may be able to use an adapter like this, but it’s pricey

Yes sir indeed. You’ll just need to pop in to settings and enable pro controller usb (or something like that. )

Edit: Almost forgot! You can even go wireless with a DS4/3

You could buy a wired headset audio controller from amazon and plug it into the headset port of your y splitter. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about checkout this linkHeadset Audio Controller

I did the same thing last year. I ended up getting the brook xbox one to PS4 usb adapter for mine. This lets it work fine on PC. Less expensive than doing the universal mod.

https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Brook-Converter-Controller-Keychain/dp/B01HRRMAII/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1543372647&sr=8-6&keywords=brook+xbox+one+to+ps4

1. Did you check the box for PlayStation controller support in big picture mode? I ask this since you’re implying you connected the PS3 controller in some other fashion.
   
   
2. Steam Input lets you customize your configuration, but ultimately will either output as a m/kb, or a Xbox controller, or both. Some games (ex. Okami) fully support SIAPI and will recognize your controller as such. You can check out r/steamcontroller for more information.
   
   
3. On that note, some games support DS4 natively to various degrees (Rocket League is one). I use a wired connection but what I do is enable PS controller support across the board, and then individually set the controller option to “Forced off”. It’s up to the developers to set up DS4 controls, and most just rely on Xinput (Xbox controller style).
   
   
4. Windows will always see the DS4 as a generic controller (dinput). At this point you need Steam or an API wrapper [like DS4Windows] if you want to use it on modern games.
   
   
5. Those drivers you mention could’ve interfered with the PS4 controller. If you’re done with the dualshock 3, then remove the drivers entirely. If not, still remove those drivers replace them with the drivers that come with PS Now. Steam Input also supports the PS3 controller.
   
   
6. Bluetooth connections are sometimes finicky. It really just depends on the model and brand of the adapter. There are other ways to connect it wirelessly: Sony made this stick if you really want PS Buttons, but are overpriced nowadays due to lack of demand. If you can deal with Xbox buttons, there are other brands like Brook and Mayflash.

Well if you don't have a dongle and the cable not connected, how would the controller transmit the data to your pc then? ;)

This is what you'll need to play wirelessly with your Dualshock 4 on PC:

https://www.amazon.de/DualShock-4-USB-Wireless-Adaptor/dp/B01KHFIO82

The easiest way is buy the official Sony PS4 to PC adapter, but right now it's silly expensive. Here.

As for getting it to work how it worked previously, I can't recommend much because I don't know what you changed since it worked last. I would suggest getting rid of programs you installed recently that allow manipulation of the ps4 controller and start from scratch. Steam should be smart enough to pick it up and configure it rumble included if the controller is wired under normal circumstances.

Any luck finding these somewhere?

This is the one i have, doesn't work with the pro. I have a 4TB Seagate External HD, Sony Gold Headphones and the sync cable for controllers plugged into it, no connectivity issues at all, and still two unused USB ports.

I fucked around with DS4 for a while until I found out there’s a sony wireless adapter for pc. It’s a bit expensive but it works like a charm.
