The PlayStation 4 is still quite a popular console as many PlayStation fans have not yet transitioned over to the PlayStation 5. The console launched in 2013 with a few iterative improvements over the years, but it ships with only one controller. While that controller is great for setting up your new console and gaming solo, it inevitably will succumb to countless hours of use, prompting gamers to hunt for the best PS4 controller to replace them. Additionally, since it's only a single controller, you will need another controller if you want to play with family or friends. While not as expensive as the PS5's DualSense controller, the DualShock 4 is still a pricey purchase for a last-gen console. This is where third-party controllers come in.
