DualShock 4 controllers
The DualShock 4 is the PS4 controller and the most requested accessory here, either as a second pad or a replacement. It comes in many colours.
Worth knowing: it also works on PS5, but only for PS4 games. PS5 titles require a DualSense. It also works on PC, by cable or Bluetooth.
The rest
- Charging docks — charge two pads at once — the DualShock 4 battery is not the most generous.
- External hard drive — the PS4 accepts external USB storage for extra space, with no internal work.
- Headsets — wired through the controller jack, or wireless with a USB dongle.
- Cases and covers — protection in transit and a change of appearance.
- Cables — HDMI and micro-USB charging cables for the controller.
