Yes! The Brook super converter has always worked for me. You just need to be sure to keep the firmware on it up to date or it will randomly disconnect. They're pretty good at keeping up with the PS4s updates.

u/deathwombat · 5 pointsr/Rockband

There are adapters that can will let you use XB1 controllers on PS4 but I don't know if the guitar controllers would be compatible

u/georgemcbay · 5 pointsr/DestinyTheGame

I know nothing about your particular muscular issues, so this may be of no help in your case, but the paddles on the Xbox Elite controller are much more ergonomically accessible than those on the SCUF in general:

https://cdn.geekwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Xbox-One-Paddles-620x412.jpg

I use an Xbox Elite controller on the PS4 myself simply because as someone who plays games on both platforms I prefer it to the DS4. I use it via this adapter, which works great:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GDVGQ48

Admittedly, having to pay about $200 for a solution ($150 for the Elite controller, $50 for the adapter) is not ideal and I do support Bungie just adding auto-sprint as an option to the game, just throwing the information about the Elite paddles out there as a possible option if they do drop the ball on this.




u/CaryKokujin · 5 pointsr/Games

If you're fine with a wired option then the same company makes a wired XB1 to PS4 converter. I've used it myself for shooters and haven't had any issues with it.

u/vangoon420 · 5 pointsr/PS4

I bought a 15 ft USB cable...worth every penny.

u/Manthes · 4 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Personally, I prefer the Ps4 controller to the Xbox One, but that's just me.

Anyway, after doing some googling, I found this. I think that it allows you to play on the PS4 using the Xbox one controller, but I'm not completely sure on how it works. If you want to, though, I'd say look into it.

I think there's also a Xbox one styled PS4 controller out there somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.

u/gobongo · 4 pointsr/PS4

You can actually just use the Xbox Elite controller directly on the PS4 using an adapter like this:

https://amazon.com/Gam3Gear-PS4-Converter-Gaming-Adapter-Keychain/dp/B01GDVGQ48

There are other options like the ChronusMax, but the Brooks one is the one I use (can vouch for it, unlike the others) and it works really well, no noticeable lag. The only semi-complaints I have about it are that the Xbox One has no touchpad so you're boned for any game that requires that (though it does emulate a generic touchpad press if you press the 'select' button on the xbox, so for games like Destiny that use the touchpad as one big button it is fine) and also you have to use it wired via USB.

Would buy a real Sony pro controller if they made one of similar quality, just to get that 100% compatibility and wireless functionality...

u/TemptCiderFan · 3 pointsr/gaming

Yep. Order something like this, and spend ten minutes unscrewing the controller. Doing that will be easy because it uses standard Philips screws instead of proprietary screws.

Swap out the PS4 Controller's 1000mAH stock battery for the replacement 2000mAH battery and without doing anything else, you've just about doubled your battery life. Disconnecting the Lightbar LED basically doubles it again. Do both, and you've multiplied your effective power time by 4.

Get this, it's what Semij is using and I also have one so I can play with my friend on his ps4 and I have the ps4 one so my friends can play with their ps4 controllers on my xbox. I've had no issues and experienced no lag.

u/Str8Ripping · 3 pointsr/dragonballfighterz

YEP!
Here's the link if you want to read more about it: LINK


Here is the amazon link: LINK
If you decide to buy it, make sure you update the firmware on the converter since they have said it will d/c after about 10min if you don't. I've never had any issues.

Hope you find what you're looking for!

You do not need the chat adapter. Chat cable will go straight from the headset to the controller.

Edit: You will have to go into the menu to adjust chat volume though. But, this cable fixes that. I turn the chat volume full blast in the console menu then you can control the chat volume with this chat cable. It works great with the A50 even though its a turtle beach product.

Or

A simple way to make these work on PS4 is using a X1 to PS4 converters.

u/theDreamDaddy · 2 pointsr/xboxone

You can do this now on the PS4 with an adapter like the brook. I’m sure there will be something similar for the PS5 eventually.

u/omeganon · 2 pointsr/xboxone

You can't use any old 3.5 to 2.5mm adapter... it has to map the rings correctly. You're supposed to use the TB Talkback cable. This is the one I use with my Earforce Tango's. The TB compatibility page shows it'll work for yours as well.

u/Havavege · 2 pointsr/xboxone

As an alternative to modding cables (easy and inexpensive), for any Turtle Beach headset that has the 2.5 mm mini jack connector (like the PX5's), you can pick up an adapter and cable instead of modding.

u/lerptyderp · 2 pointsr/spelunky

That would definitely affect my play.(although I think that the Dpads are a bit different as well)
In my experience ps controller are convex on top as opposed to the concave joysticks which your thumb kinda fits into on the xb controllers.

There is a company called mayflash which makes adapters for playing with controllers from different consoles.


Edit:
Here’s one
Gam3Gear Brook Xbox One Controller to PS4 Console Super Converter Gaming Adapter with Keychain https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GDVGQ48/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nyZ3Cb883AKCR

It’s a bit pricy and only works wired, but might be worth it for you. There are also probably other options

u/aso1616 · 2 pointsr/PS4

Two weeks ago this was me and I will tell you what is 100% required as a lifelong Xboxer.


First
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GDVGQ48/ref=sxts_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504202724&sr=1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65

As far as games I would say
Nier Automata
No mans sky
Nioh
Final fantasy remakes if you never played them
Ratchet and Clank( Seriously best looking game ever)
Persona 5
Yakuza

Enjoy!


u/HIZLO · 2 pointsr/PS4

Hey bud, I felt the same way after using the Dual Shock 4 myself. I found these work great and give the controller a tad bit of width. The rear grip makes finger placement easy and personally I have zero hand cramps when they are on.

https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Skidproof-Dualshock-Controller-PlayStation-4/dp/B01N91PO9U/ref=pd_rhf_se_s_icp_0_38?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01N91PO9U&pd_rd_r=ZSGS6DBM55FPVT8F0HHC&pd_rd_w=Vk7Wn&pd_rd_wg=geoXL&pf_rd_i=desktop-rhf&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=3314166702&pf_rd_r=ZSGS6DBM55FPVT8F0HHC&pf_rd_s=desktop-rhf&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=ZSGS6DBM55FPVT8F0HHC

Second option was getting the Xbox One controller to work on PS4. I had purchased the the TitanOne but the PS4 has some kind of check system and the device would hiccup every 7 to 10 mins. It became a real pain in the ass having to hook up extra stuff in order to get it to work.

A new device came out called Gam3Gear Brook Design. This usb adapter works like the TitanOne but with zero issues! Check this out...

I got it about 2 weeks ago and its 0 lag
just make sure whenever ps4 has an system update, that you check the products website to see if theres a firmware update for it.

u/Treb27 · 1 pointr/PS4

I have this one: Gam3Gear Brook Xbox One to PS4 Super Converter Gaming Adapter with FREE Keychain https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GDVGQ48?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I think there a couple others out there, but I really like this one. No latency issues at all. Only thing is the controller has to be wired.

I was using it today for the first time since the recent PS firmware update and it seemed to disconnect randomly, which had never happened before over the last two years. I think I likely need to update it.

u/LeoIsLegend · 1 pointr/PS4

Plug and play. Only downside is you're always wired and you can't turn the console on with the controller. Honestly though, I'd stick with the PS4 Controller... I got used to it eventually. Some Kontrol Freeks CQC might help.

u/Freakysheikh · 1 pointr/PS4

It’s a little usb stick that lets you use a certain controller on a console. For me i have the Xbox elite controller but started to play more on the PS4 over the last year or so. I decided to use my elite and it works great just plug and play. Only issue is an update from Sony could break the compatibility. It rarely happens but it happened this time. The company is usually pretty quick about updating the software for the converter.

If you want to take a look

u/ketch00 · 1 pointr/xboxone

I'm so confused honestly :(

My headset arrived today (used model) and here is what it had, is all I need this cable to get voice + chat to work on my xbox one?

Or do I just need the xbox one adapter and this cable? Sorry I'm just a bit lost I've been getting different answers. Thank you!

u/why_earth · 1 pointr/playstation

I bought this one for my turtle beach headset which would meet your needs: Turtle Beach - Ear Force Chat Cable for PlayStation 4 Headset Compatibility - PS4 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HS5FETM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_eRdAwbDXZHKQJ

However it is unavailable. An alternative is this one: PlayStation 4 PS4 Chat Talkback Cable for Turtle Beach Headsets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K8J5L52/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_4NdAwb18XH17Q

I would avoid any 2.5 to 3.5 adapters as I have had trouble with them. Get a cable that goes from 2.5 to 3.5.

u/ness33 · 1 pointr/DestinyTheGame

Same as /u/Lokisfather, I too use my elite controller on my PS4.

https://smile.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Brook-Converter-Gaming-Adapter-Keychain/dp/B01GDVGQ48/

Not that I'm advertising, but just letting you know what I use, and it works pretty seamless with Destiny. I love having the same feel of controller in my hand, with the paddles... for both consoles.

u/stenbroder · 1 pointr/StreetFighter

https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Brook-Converter-Adapter-Keychain/dp/B01GDVGQ48

Might be what you are looking for. Or a PCB swap, if you are handy.

u/thephantomnaut · 1 pointr/fightsticks

Yeah they sadly don't sell the cables themselves. While I can't verify these are compatible, some folks are selling cables on Amazon (1, 2). Might have to take a leap of faith.

u/gharveymn · 1 pointr/RocketLeague

If you have a DS4 check this out.

It's flush-fit so it doesn't get lose. I've only had it for a week so far though so I can't report on the long-term reliability.

Also if you have a DS4, make sure you aren't setting it down with the cable in on a flat surface because it's actually resting with all the weight on the cable. I think that might be what was causing my failures.

u/g-coded · 1 pointr/simracing

As others stated, there is no peripheral that is cross platform compatible. However, the trick is to buy a xbox compatible(usually a proprietary chip) and then 'convert' that to work with ps4. I haven't used it, but a quick search comes up with a Gam3Gear Brook Xbox One to PS4 Super Converter. It lists racing wheels and has a good review score.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GDVGQ48/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A263LSCPZJCHO0

This Is what I'm looking at, I'm still doing some research. The biggest drawback is that it needs to be wired, I'm not sure if the headset jack works either. Both of those things are a cause of hesitation.

Update for you, if you want to shell out the 40 dollars https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GDVGQ48/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and get that, it works fantastic, every button works and no re-wiring, like KeytarsRus said!

u/hodgepodgeroger · 1 pointr/PS4

No idea, but for my Xbox 360 Turtle Beach X12s, I just bought this cable. It works great and saved me the $100 I was about to throw down on an actual PS4 headset.

It’ll let you use your elite on PS4.

Actually there is I've had the same problem I went from 360 to PS4. There is an adapter on amazon that I found that lets Xbox one wireless controllers work on a PS4.

I get no complaints from friends/randos online

u/R3DEMPTEDlegacy · 1 pointr/MaddenUltimateTeam

The Xbox Elite controller once you can retrain your brain to use the paddles is a game changer.especially in shooters where the trigger locks can literally make you faster than the other guy.

​

heres a super buget elite controller 30$ for 2 paddles,trigger locks and customizable thum sticks.https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Fusion-Controller-Xbox-One-Black/dp/B01KMAYANU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541702281&sr=8-1&keywords=xbox+fusion+controller

​

​

also never buy the scuff your paying a almost 50$ more than the reg elite for something that has way less versatility.on the scuff theres no custom presets for the paddles like the elite and fusion and if it breaks no warranty.even Ps4 users should look at the adapter for xbox to ps4 just for a cheaper and better paddle option https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Brook-Converter-Gaming-Adapter-Keychain/dp/B01GDVGQ48/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541702456&sr=8-3&keywords=xbox+controller+to+ps4+adapter

u/NackJines · 1 pointr/MortalKombat

I'll always be bringing my ps4/monitor with extra controllers to meetups, so feel free to use one of those whenever I'm around. If you would rather use an xbox controller on ps4, Brook converters are a solid option. There are other xbox players, and we were talking about maybe all chipping in to buy a converter for community use during meetups/tournaments.

https://www.amazon.ca/Gam3Gear-Brook-Converter-Adapter-Keychain/dp/B01GDVGQ48

u/sudo-apt-get-rekt · 1 pointr/xboxone

I’d imagine one of these. I think it requires a DS4 to spoof the connection so the PS4 believes a DualShock is connected. I have one from the same brand that lets me use ps3 controllers wirelessly on my ps2 and it works great.

u/Apherix · 1 pointr/xboxone

You'll need this and this and this and this.

Or you could buy an X12 headset.

u/yankeeinexile · 1 pointr/buildapcsales

This is late but if your DS4 is getting really bad with the battery, it's fairly easy to replace them. Much easier than older model controllers, I believe it's like 6-8 screws, you pop it open, unplug battery, replug new one, and it's good to go. Runs about 10 bucks on Amazon

u/majindutin · 1 pointr/disabledgamers

There's a device for ps4 that lets you use Xbox one controllers on ps4. It's about $40 on Amazon right now. I use it, too. I've not tried it with the adaptive controller specifically, but it works with my Ben Heck custom modded controller, and the adaptive controller is supposed to function just like a standard controller, so out should work. You can get it here: https://www.amazon.com/Gam3Gear-Brook-Converter-Gaming-Adapter-Keychain/dp/B01GDVGQ48/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=xbox+one+to+ps4+controller+converter&qid=1569282630&sprefix=Xbox+one+to&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&smid=A263LSCPZJCHO0&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEySU83QjJSS1RHMldWJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTEwNzY2MjRPVkdFREcxRlYxQiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjI4MzgwMzM2WVVBSTNWSkg0SSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

It doesn’t support Xbox one wireless but you can use the charge cable to connect with the controller and console to enable it works.

u/ChromeTape · 1 pointr/deaf

You're welcome! I'm just glad to help.

The BAHA is on my left (worst) side, and it does actually stimulate the cochlear a little on that side - which was a surprise - but the main benefit comes from the audio that's transferred over to the right.

I use an Oticon Medical Streamer instead of headphones, but your options will depend on the sound processor (HA) you choose. The Oticon streamer can connect to one device via bluetooth (it's permanently connected to my smartphone) and I use a 4-pole cable to connect it to other devices (TV, PC, tablet, etc.). I even plug it into my guitar amp.

I'm in the UK so I'm afraid I can't help with the insurance question. The NHS provided by Ponto 3 SP. I feel a little guilty when I read about the difficulty people overseas have accessing hearing aids due to the cost.
