TERIOS Wireless Controller Compatible with PS4/PS4 Pro/PS4 Slim, Pro Controller with Built-in Speaker, Advanced Buttons Programming, Enhanced Dual Vibration/Turbo Auto Fire (Black)

(Quick and short: its a good 9.5 worth it) Controllers are very important they are what u use to play ur game and so its normal to look for something under 40 dollars to save cost. The Terios controller was very nice controller i spent about 5days with it at this time and i loved the controller. When i first picked it up i could tell this was better than what i thought the outer shell is completely different that a normal ps4 controller, its roughly the same size but feels a bit thicker around the handles and for this fills out ur hands better and rest nicely. The controller acts natively like a ds4 it immediately is treated like a ds4 and can turn on the system as well. For the way it plays its nice i didnt notice really much if any lag it was good and standard. The turbo button was handly but niche i used it mainly on rpg games where fast presses where needed but i dont recommend using turbo on online games just dont. The back buttons was tactile and soft made from a nice rubber esc material they control the two stick presses (L3 and R3) i found these buttons niche but good for FPS games like COD or apex they help maneuver easier. Everything about this controller feels good even battery life which isnt bad but not amazing i got roughly 7-8 hours on it roughly 8 which is pretty ok if ur a long gamer ur definitely gonna need to charge alot. Something i found very weird is the d pad i play alot of fighting games but the d pad was very tactile which isnt bad but it was different and took some getting used to this isnt a huge downside just felt i should point it out.The terios wireless ps4 controller is a 9.5 out of 10 i think its better than the normal ds4 and is worth it came fast and was in good condition so go for it i hope u enjoyed if u read all this id like to say thank u

First thing I did was plug the controller into the second PS2 port using the cord provided. I let it charge for at least six hours. I unplugged it but it didn't work. It flashed once and shut off. By trial and error I figured out that you have to press the square button on the controller for the PS2 to acknowledge the controller. Then everything worked fine. While I was using the first controller, I charged the second controller in port two. The next day the same thing happened. One blink and then nothing. I pressed the square button and the PS2 acknowledged the controller. I guess every time you change controllers, you have to press the button.The controllers are great. I'm playing "MLB the show so much better now that the new controller buttons don't stick. I would suggest only charging the controllers with the chord provided and use the PS2 port.

What's good: controller feel is very, very close to a Dual Shock 4 pad.The D-pad, 4 primary buttons, and L1/R1 buttons use rubber dome switches. These are responsive and not mushy and pop back up firmly.The analog L2/R2 buttons feel good and I didn't notice any problems when using them in games that treat them as a digital input like Elden Ring I can't comment about how good they are for games that use them as analog inputs. They pop back up nicely and are not mushy either.The share, options, turbo, and clear buttons use metal dome switches and have a nice tactile feeling.The L3, R3 buttons uses a clicky microswitch, same as DS4. They are just as easy to engage.The home button is a softer rubber dome switch but that's fine. It's a little mushier compared to a DS4 pad but it's still responsive enough, given how infrequently you use the home button.The new F1/F2 buttons on the back of the device are soft rubber button over what feels like a metal dome switch, so while there is tactile feedback the rubber button mutes that a little. They require some force to push so it's impossible to engage them by accident. That said, the force means they aren't as easy to press as any of the other buttons. I think they are useful when used infrequently but you wouldn't map a button to it you intend to press a lot.The center touchpad button works fine as a button but I haven't tried any games that use touch input. I also haven't tested motion (gyroscope) controls or the controller speaker.What's bad: The Bluetooth audio constantly clicks and pops and has noise. This is a really common problem with low quality / low cost Bluetooth audio devices. If you use the controller headphone jack you will find this unbearable and frankly unusable. The volume scale is bigger than normal and you get crackles and clipping at high volume, so you'll have to turn down the system volume a lot more than you would with a DS4.If you power up the pad *while* it is plugged into the console it will do audio over the USB cable. This reduces the clicking/popping substantially but does NOT eliminate it. If you plug in the USB cable after the controller has established Bluetooth communication it will keep using that anyway and the audio issues will persist. Using the wired configuration I didn't really notice the audio issues after watching movies for a while so I think it's not a 100% solution but is good enough. If you are sensitive to this kind of thing just assume you can't use the controller for audio at all, in any configuration.New features: Turbo fire has one speed and you can turn it on or off for any button. You can hit the clear button at any time to turn off turbo for everything. The turbo and clear buttons are a little hard to reach but you normally don't need to mess with them to often. Turbo is great for games with a lot of button mashing like Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, Y's Memories of Celceta, and I liked using it for the weapon buttons in Elden Ring to make combos easier. It's hugely useful for the Dragon Quest builder games when you need to do a lot of terraforming.The F1/F2 programmable buttons on the back can be mapped to any ONE input key. It can't record macros or key combinations. If turbo is on for that key, the programmed F1/F2 key will also have turbo on -- for example you can't map X to F1 and have turbo enabled for X and disabled for F1.Overall I was surprised how decent this is as a third party controller. It's like 90% as good as a Dual Shock for the features I tested, and the turbo fire works great so I'm very happy with that. The bad audio is a real bummer as I use headphones almost all the time, but my PS5 is close enough that I can use it wired and it's OK. If you use your TV's audio output then it's a non-issue I suppose. The programmable buttons are interesting and functional but I don't really imagine using them.The two big unknowns for me are: how long will it last, and how good is the battery. I guess time will tell.
