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)

Great controller for my switch. Love the light up colors.

(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

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.

The media could not be loaded. Please see the video. I bought three of these controllers. All three of them would only charge one time when I first got them. After using them for a few hours they would no longer charge again. I tried several aftermarket USB cables. I tried using the provided USB cable. I tried using an Anker 2.5 amp USB wall adapter and they would not charge. I tried plugging them in directly to the PlayStation 4 pro with the provided USB cable, and they would not charge. All three controllers did the exact same thing. They look like they did the initial charge (The light did the soft glowing initially), worked for about 8 hours on battery, then would not charge again (Never did the soft glow again). If you're going to buy these remotes make sure that you charge it initially, use the controller for several hours, then try and charge it a second time when the battery gets low. Do this before your return time runs out or you will regret it.I also forgot to mention this in the video but I even left them plugged in overnight to charge them even though they weren't doing the soft glow lighting effect I'm trying to charge them later after they seemed to stop charging. Just to see if maybe the indicator wasn't working or something. But no they still would not chargeAlso they will not work even when plugged in if they don't have a charge. So you can't even use the controller with it plugged in. The fact that you can't charge him a second time makes them absolutely useless.I was super disappointed because I really love the feel and the build quality of this remote. So much so, that I was looking to see if I could just buy one that happened to work. I bought two more in hopes of finding one that would work, but all three controllers did the exact same thing.As someone else mentioned the buttons on the bottom do not seem to be able to be reprogrammed. They are hard-wired to be r1 and r2. This was not a deal breaker for me. A turbo function seems to work just fine. However the turbo button will not automatically press the button without holding it. You must hold down the button then the turbo will spam the button repeatedly. I mentioned this because I have another third party controller that will automatically spam the button without touching it. So that might be a deal breaker for some people if for some reason you're still willing to look past the fact that they don't charge at all.As a side note I had no problem with connecting them to the PlayStation 4 pro. I simply connected the controller with the cable they provided to the PlayStation 4, then manually turned on the PlayStation 4. The PlayStation 4 powered on and the remote connected with the cable I simply press the home button on the remote and it connected to the PlayStation 4. From then on out it would wake up the PlayStation wirelessly and there was no need to keep it connected. I think this is the same for all third-party controllers. I think some people might not realize the PlayStation needs to be turned on manually when first initializing aftermarket controllers. It will not automatically wake up the PlayStation if they are not already connected.
