What is the name of the controller for PlayStation 4?

The controller for the PlayStation 4 is the DualShock 4.

Sony introduced the DualShock 4 as the standard wireless gamepad for the PlayStation 4. It retained familiar PlayStation controls, including the directional pad, four face buttons, two analog sticks, shoulder buttons, and vibration feedback, while adding several new features for the PS4 generation.

The controller includes a clickable touchpad on its front, a light bar, a built-in speaker, a mono headset jack, motion sensors, and a dedicated Share button. The Share button made it easy for players to capture screenshots, record gameplay, and broadcast sessions. A USB connection handled charging and wired data transfer.

The names of PlayStation controllers are easy to confuse. Sixaxis was associated mainly with early PlayStation 3 controllers, and DualShock 3 was the PS3-era vibrating model. DualSense is the newer controller for PlayStation 5, featuring adaptive triggers and more advanced haptic feedback.
