The PlayStation Controller is a game controller developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment and manufactured by Sony, released on December 3 1994. It was released alongside the PlayStation console.
Being the first console-orientated game controller made by Sony, it consists of a left cross-patterned D-pad, the right face buttons with △, ○, × and □ symbols, two rows of shoulder buttons, a sᴛᴀʀᴛ button and a sᴇʟᴇᴄᴛ button.
It also has the improved model in the form of Dual Analogue Controller which added analogue joysticks. The PlayStation Controller would later be phased out with the introduction of the DualShock in 1997.
Because it has a proprietary PlayStation controller port, it requires an third-party adapter for connecting to the PC, but even then, it only work as a DirectInput controller with most adapters, requiring the use of wrappers in games that only use XInput API. It doesn't support rumble features, as it is missing rumble motors.
