Overall, I highly recommend the Cosmic Byte Stratos Xenon Wireless Programmable Gamepad, especially when paired with the Gamepad Dongle for PC. Its exceptional performance, versatile connectivity, and customizable features make it a worthy investment for any avid gamer. Whether you’re playing on your computer or other compatible devices, the Stratos Xenon gamepad delivers a seamless and immersive gaming experience.

 The controller in itself is so good. The back buttons definitely helps a lot while playing. If you’re thinking about buying it for PlayStation 4 then just go for it.
However, if you’re a PC user and thinking about buying it to play on PC then there are a lot of things to consider. First of all, it doesn’t come with its own Bluetooth receiver/dongle unlike other wireless controllers that are especially designed only to play on PC. So if your PC doesn’t have any Bluetooth adapter in-build then you cannot connect it wirelessly. You have to either connect it using USB cable or buy a separate Bluetooth receiver that costs an extra 600 INR (for BT 5.0). Now, I’m using it on my laptop which has in-build Bluetooth adapter V4. 2. The problem arise when I’m also using wireless headphones with it which i assume mostly players use these days. If two wireless devices (this controller and headphone/speakers) are connected to your adapter then the controller faces a huge input delay and sometimes even crash the whole game. Steam games faces input delay while Epic game store games just crash and stops working. On top of that, it even interfere with the Wi-Fi connection and creates huge ping spikes sometimes. My solution for all this problem was to just not use wireless headphones or use controller in wired mode i.e via USB cable.
The second problem is that in order to utilize full functionality of the controller (that is gyroscope sensor and touchpad sensor) you’ll need to download and run DS4Windows in background all the time which isn’t that big of a problem unless you’re playing an online game because DS4Windows is a third party software and using it in background may get your account banned since that software remap keys and set macros which is against rules of many online games.
The time i bought this controller, it was advertised to play on PC as well which is now removed. I wonder why! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but in their manual they did mentioned that a lot of features of controller doesn’t work on PC assuming that they’re not using DS4Windows.
Long story short, the controller is awesome for PS users and is awesome for PC users as well if you can compromise with some features.
EDIT: So, i’ve bought a separate bluetooth V5.0 dongle/receiver and it solves the issue of input lag when using alongside with wireless headphones. Now i can use both the headphones and controller without any lag or game crash. But, is it worth the extra 600 INR? That’s up to you.

Just don’t think second time and just buy . I did so many research before buying, it literally stood on top of the list . It is compatible with phone and pc . As it show’s it is also compatible with ps4 (I haven’t tried it) , but i tried it on my ps5 i was facing problem in connecting it and not working with ps5 games for this you have to download ps4 version of the game .
