Peripheral maker Hori has unveiled a new mini PlayStation 4 controller in the form of the Hori Wired Mini Gamepad which will be launching next month on November 6th.
As you can see from the images below, the mini gamepad is also joined by two officially licensed compact controllers as part of the PlayStation 4 lineup. Sony explains more via the official PlayStation blog.
The three new additions will work with all PS4 models including PS4 Pro, and are expected to launch across the region from November – giving our players more options than ever before. Each features a range of core controls including twin sticks, directional pad, triggers, bumpers and L3/R3, SHARE, OPTIONS, PS and action buttons. So whether you’re looking for a design to suit your unique grip and playstyle, or interested in an introductory controller for younger family members, there’s a controller for you.
Features and Specifications
The Hori Wired Mini Gamepad is designed to be a more compact and accessible option for gamers. It is particularly aimed at younger players or those with smaller hands who may find the standard DualShock 4 controller too cumbersome. Despite its smaller size, the mini gamepad does not compromise on functionality. It includes all the essential controls such as twin sticks, a directional pad, triggers, bumpers, and the L3/R3 buttons. Additionally, it features the SHARE, OPTIONS, PS, and action buttons, ensuring that players have access to all the necessary inputs for a complete gaming experience.
The mini gamepad is wired, which can be a significant advantage for those who prefer a more stable and lag-free connection. Wired controllers are often favored in competitive gaming scenarios where every millisecond counts. The cable length is designed to provide ample room for comfortable play without being restrictive.
Design and Usability
The design of the Hori Wired Mini Gamepad is sleek and ergonomic, making it comfortable to hold for extended gaming sessions. Its compact size makes it highly portable, allowing gamers to easily carry it to friends’ houses or gaming events. The controller’s buttons and sticks are responsive, providing a tactile feel that enhances the gaming experience.
In addition to the mini gamepad, the two other officially licensed compact controllers offer unique designs and features. These controllers are also compatible with all PS4 models, including the PS4 Pro, ensuring that players have a wide range of options to choose from based on their preferences and needs.
One of the compact controllers features a more traditional design, similar to the DualShock 4, but with a slightly smaller form factor. This makes it an excellent choice for players who want a familiar feel but in a more compact size. The other compact controller offers a unique design with additional customization options, allowing players to tailor the controller to their specific playstyle.
These new controllers are not just about aesthetics; they are built to enhance the overall gaming experience. Whether you are a casual gamer or a competitive player, having the right controller can make a significant difference in your performance and enjoyment of the game.
