What are and what are the accessories for PS4

The eighth generation of all favorite consoles blew up the market in 2013 and became the dream and goal of most gamers who are fans of the PS platform. In the foreseeable future, the price for the PS4 console will decrease, and due to this it will be available to most users who want to buy it. Prices for accessories for the PS4 are also decreasing, and everyone who wants to buy an additional gamepad, keyboard or remote control has to wait very little to reduce the cost by ~ 20%.

High-tech gamepad DualShock 4 with built-in touch panel has become an excellent alternative to the mouse for the console. The built-in gyroscope allows you to interact with the gaming interface at a different level: with its help you can "draw" and maneuver the vehicle. However, the prefix PS4 with a standard bundle includes only one gamepad, so lovers of playing in Versus mode will have to buy a second one.

PS Network provides a very wide selection of games with the possibility of joint battle or battle against each other, so buying a second DualShock for most users is only a matter of time.

Popular accessories for PS4

However, the needs of the average gamer are not limited to buying a second gamepad. Despite the presence of a touchpad and a gyroscope, which has become a kind of alternative to the Kinect system, many complain about the inconvenience of entering text content. With the advent of chatting in games and the "hangout" service, where you can correspond with friends, the problem has worsened even more. Unfortunately, Sony Corporation has not announced the output of the keyboards to the console, but the official website says that it can be connected to an external keyboard and mouse using Bluetooth technology.

Potentially for this purpose, any wireless keypad-mouse pair can be used. However, devices may not be supported in some games for the Sony PS4. Accessories that simplify the process of text input are supported in "hanging" chatting, and gradually this issue can be eliminated during the release of updates. In addition, most multiplayer games support audio communication with the built-in DualShock microphone (to be more precise, it has built-in 4 microphones). Therefore, the forecast for connecting a wireless pair is quite favorable, besides the wireless mouse and keyboard will always be useful.

PS-compatible equipment

Very joyful news for fans of not only the console, but also all Sony products, was the announcement of the flagship line of tablets and smartphones of the Z generation. So, the Sony Xperia Tablet Z3 can serve as a screen for the set-top box instead of the TV. The same goes for flagship smartphones, which act as accessories for the PS4. The function supports wireless image transmission to the phone in high resolution. The only drawback is the rapid depletion of the Android-device. But the dignity is obvious: you can go to lunch, taking with you gamepad and a smartphone, without taking your eyes off the game. A real paradise for a gamer!

Hardware filling and "lotion" for the lazy

For very active gamers there is an expansion of the memory of the console using a special module. It would seem, why store all the games on the console, if the purchase of the game is registered in the PS Network and it can be re-loaded at any time? However, the offer is very important for users with a slow Internet connection, where downloading can take several days.

Another device, this time a find for lazy users - the charging station to the gamepads. It is known that to recharge the gamepad it must be connected to the console. The station can be installed next to the sofa. And you can recharge the gamepad in the future without getting up from it. However, it can not be said that such a device is intended only for lazy people. Careful users know that by constantly using the recharging jack, you can break it, for example, by tripping over the cord at night. Having installed the station in a convenient place, you can secure the gamepad and a prefix from such incidents.

A look into the future

However, the above accessories for the PS4 - far from the limit of the console's dreams. The corporation in the foreseeable future plans to issue helmets of virtual reality, which will characterize the generation of these consoles and all video games in general.
We look forward to this future and hope for the realization of childhood dreams!
