Manufacturer description

The NACON PlayStation 4 Controller is a wired gamepad with more inputs than a standard pad. It connects over a USB-C cable, so you never charge a battery or re-pair it in the middle of a session. Its main feature is four configurable shortcut buttons. Map the actions you use most to them and your thumbs can stay on the sticks during competitive matches. The two concave sticks are customizable and have a 46-degree amplitude. That gives you a wide range of travel for small aim corrections in shooters and precise steering in racing games. For party chat, the controller has a 3.5mm headset jack…
