Wireless Controller for PS4 – Third-Party Gamepad with Touchpad and 3.5mm Audio Jack
This wireless controller for PS4 is a third-party gamepad made to work with the PlayStation 4 console. It has twin analogue sticks, triggers, a share button, a touchpad, a light bar, a built-in speaker and a 3.5 mm audio jack, and it charges through a micro USB port. It is not made by Sony. Easy Life Markets sells it in fourteen colours and patterns, with a USB charging cable.
A second controller is usually the first accessory a console owner buys, for two-player games or as a spare while the other one charges. A third-party pad like this gives the same layout and the main features. The trade-off is that it is an independent product, so the sections below are careful about what is and is not confirmed.

A Straight Answer: This Is Not a Sony Controller
We want no confusion on this point. This controller is made by a third party. It is not manufactured, licensed or endorsed by Sony, and it is not a DualShock 4. The supplier describes it as designed for the PS4 console. PS4 and PlayStation are trademarks of Sony Interactive Entertainment, used here only to say which console the controller is made for. The packaging shown in some supplier photos carries the supplier's own product name.
Because it is a third-party pad, a few things can differ from the console maker's controller:
- System updates. Console software updates occasionally affect third-party controllers. We cannot promise it will work with every future system version.
- Feel. Stick tension, trigger travel and button click will not be identical to the original.
- Battery life. The supplier gives no capacity or play time.
- Motion sensing and vibration. The supplier does not list either. If a game you play depends on them, ask us first.
What the Supplier Does Not State
- Battery capacity and hours of play per charge
- Wireless range
- Whether it works with a PC, a phone or other consoles. Only the PS4 is listed.
- Weight and dimensions
- Cable length
If one of these matters to you, tell us and we will put the question to the supplier before you order.
Pairing It with the Console
The supplier describes the controller as plug and play. Third-party PS4 pads normally pair the same way as the original:
- Switch the console on.
- Connect the controller to one of the console's USB ports with the supplied cable.
- Press the central home button on the controller.
- When the light bar settles and the console shows the controller, choose a user profile.
- Unplug the cable to play wirelessly.
If the pad does not connect, try the console's other USB port and a second press of the home button. A cable that only charges and carries no data is a common cause of pairing trouble, so use the cable from the box for the first setup.
Charging
- Plug the micro USB cable into the console, which can charge the pad in standby if the console's power settings allow it, or into a standard USB charger.
- Charge it fully before the first long session.
- Do not leave it charging on a bed or sofa.
- If the pad will be stored for a long time, top it up every couple of months.
Using the Extras
- Share button. Captures screenshots and clips through the console's own sharing menu.
- Touchpad. Used by games as an extra button and, in some titles, for swipes.
- Audio jack. Plug in a wired headset to hear game sound privately. Set the output in the console's audio settings.
- Speaker. Some games play effects through the controller.
- Light bar. Shows which player the controller is assigned to.
These are the functions the supplier lists. How fully each one works can vary from game to game on a third-party game controller.
Looking After It
- Wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Keep liquid out of the seams and ports.
- Do not wrap the cable tightly round the pad.
- Stick drift is often dust under the stick. A short blast of clean air round the base can help.
- Store it where it will not be sat on or dropped. The sticks and triggers are the weak points of any pad.
Who It Suits
PS4 owners who want a second pad for two-player games, households that need a spare while one controller charges, players who want a colour or camouflage finish, and anyone replacing a worn-out controller on a budget.
