It's been about 3 years now since the release of the PlayStation 5 but the PlayStation 4 is still going strong. The PS4 still has a vast library of amazing and exclusive game titles so it doesnt' come as a surprise that PS4 controllers are still very much in demand. As a plus, PlayStation 4 controllers work with the PlayStation 5 as well, with the caveat that you're playing a PlayStation 4 game on the PlayStation 5. Still, it's nice that Sony allows for some backwards compatbility with the controllers. In this list of the best PLayStation 4 controllers, we've of course started things off with the classic Sony DualShock 4 wireless controller. The DualShocks were iconic and synonymous with PlayStation, up until the release of the new Sony DualSense controllers. That said, the DualShocks are still great controllers. Other than that, we have plenty of third party options in this list of controllers that work with the PlayStation 4. These include the Nacon Asymmetric Wireless controller, the VOYEE controller and Cosmic Byte Stratos Xenon controller, if you're looking for a budget alternatives, and the EvoFox Elite Play Wireless controller if you're looking for a third party controller that resemebles the DualShocks.
1. Sony Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller
The first PS4 controller on our list is the classic DualShock 4 based on the DualShock design from way back in the PlayStation 2 days. While it certainly doesn’t have the frills the new DualSense has, it’s still a very reliable controller, and won’t set you back by as much as well. As a plus, the DualShock is also backwards compatible with the PlayStation 5, so if you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, then you can most certainly go for the DualShock 4. This controller features the classic, ergonomic PlayStation controller design, with solid build quality and comes with the console itself if you’re picking up a PlayStation 4.
2. Bigben / Nacon Asymmetric Wireless Controller

The Asymmetric Wireless controller from Nacon features a design and layout that’s very similar to the Xbox One controller. It also features great build quality and good quality buttons and grips. If the asymmetric in the name didn’t give it away, this controller features off-set analog sticks, which has been found to be a more comfortable layout over longer gaming sessions. Of course, in the end it’s up to your comfort and playstyle, and if you’re looking for a Xbox-style controller for your PlayStation 4, then go for this one.
