Since not everyone has the desire or the means to buy a high-end game controller like the Revolution Pro Controller 2 for their PS4, Nacon thought of also offering entry-level controllers. Thus arrives the Compact Controller, a very classic controller, but which this time is positioned at a lower price than that of the official DualShock 4 controller from Sony. Here we are testing its transparent and luminous variation, which has the merit of attracting the eye.
Without really shining, Nacon’s Compact Controller demonstrates healthy behavior and offers what we have the right to expect from an entry-level controller, no more and no less. The DualShock 4 remains a step above, but if you are looking for a secondary controller for occasional multiplayer play or if you prefer a model more suited to small hands, this Compact Controller may be ideal.
Strong points

- Compatible with PS4 and PC.
Weak points
- Completely smooth shell and therefore potentially slippery (perspiration, etc.).
