We’re pleased to introduce a new controller from Hori, the officially licensed Mini Wired Gamepad for PlayStation 4, designed with younger gamers in mind. This controller is 40% smaller than the DualShock 4 and has a simple form factor with a flat design that makes it easy to fit into smaller hands. Best of all, the controller has a low price of $29.99 USD (MSRP) / $39.99 CAD (MSRP), making it a great purchase for companion play on games like Knack 2.

The Mini Wired Gamepad provides the essential functions to play most PS4 games while still providing a great gaming experience — that includes the right and left sticks, R1/L1/R2/L2 buttons, directional buttons, and action buttons. Certain touch pad inputs can be simulated via the left or right sticks.

The wired controller includes a 10ft cable, making for an easy plug-and-play experience. While this controller does not include some features of DualShock 4, including a touch pad, light bar, stereo headset jack, speaker, vibration, or motion sensing, it comes at a great value and helps open gaming to the whole family. Find out more about the gamepad here.

The blue Mini Wired Gamepad launches across U.S. and Canada this holiday.

Why on earth would they make the buttons even closer together? It's already an issue.

They think it makes it easier for small hands and for games like knack. This is not a controller for an adult. Read the quotes.

We get it you hate Sony.

Dualshock 4 reviews

Xbox One Wireless reviews

There is nothing wrong with the PS4 controller. It is highly received. I prefer it more than any other controller because I like both of the analog sticks being at the bottom for shooting games. Which I mostly play.

This is the same company that made the stupid switch-splatoon headset adapter. They are known for making unique/odd accessories. They also made this PS4 controller:

I've gone through 4 Xbox One controllers so far in 3 years... you may be incorrect.

If they would make a 1st party controller with off set thumbsticks I would hardly ever play my Xbox. i know I'm in the minority but symmetrical sticks make my thumbs hurt after a while. It will probably get worse as I age.

Wow. I'm still using my XBONE launch controller and have an Xbox 360 controller that is over 7 years old and going strong. My PS4 controller started falling apart after one year.

I like the ergonomics and feel of the PS4 controller more than the Xbone controller and it also feels more sturdy.

With that said, I have gone through 2 controllers because they either stopped holding a charge or refused to charge all together. Never had that issue with the PS3 controllers.
