Sony Playstation 4 Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller Appraisal

Sony PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 Wireless Controller

The item is a black Sony PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 wireless controller, specifically the second generation (CUH-ZCT2 series) identified by the visible light bar strip on the touchpad. It is constructed primarily from a matte black plastic, with glossier sections on the underside and around the grips. The controller features a standard layout: on the left, a directional pad (D-pad) with four distinct arrow buttons; in the center, two analog sticks with textured, concave tops; and on the right, the iconic PlayStation face buttons (X, Circle, Triangle, Square) in their respective colors (though appearing somewhat muted due to lighting and wear). There is a central PlayStation button, a small speaker grill, and what appears to be a microphone hole. The overall condition shows signs of moderate use, with some visible dust accumulation, especially in crevices and around the buttons. There is a noticeable light scratch or scuff mark on the top left handle/grip. The texture on the analog sticks appears slightly worn. The seams where the different plastic components meet are visible but generally tight, indicating standard manufacturing quality for mass-produced electronics. There are no obvious cracks or major structural damages, though the light reflection suggests slight oiliness or residue on the surface from handling. The aesthetic aligns with modern gaming peripheral design, specifically from the mid-2010s era of the PS4 console.
