I didn't know you could tilt to type . It's actually a very unique input method . It's a testament to how good the motion detection in the ds4 controller is . It's a terrible means of typing that nobody would use to text, but it does showcase the controller's motion control .

[@kidrigger]

Actually it's faster than the DPad keys once you're used to it. That's what I always used until the PS App

[@matthewshafer9545]

@@kidrigger your either into motion control or your not into motion control . There is absolutely nobody on the fence. Not a fan, but I get that there are fans . I remember back in the day before motion control I had this buddy that played like there was motion control lol all turning the controller and raising it above his head. Cracked me up at the time and know it's real and I feel old .

The pairing trick was a lifesaver. Bought my son a new controller but the original charging cable was broken and no other USB cable would work. I ended up un-pairing all my controllers trying to fix it. Nothing I did would sync the controllers back to the console. Luckily I found the repairing option and I was able to use my phone to log in remotely and re-pair the controllers. I made it way more complicated than it needed to be... Lol

Very Nice Demo video Captain. Details, Lighting, and Close Up,, Perfection @! * Here's a little tip on cleaning controller once in a while. Use a quarter sheet of microfiber cloth, 5"x5", squirt a path of rubbing alcohol on cloth near the edge, do full wetted wipe down, then dry off with rest of cloth. * Keep the cloth in safe spot to only use for controller, or reading glasses like some of us do. You'll notice controller feels & plays nicer when this clean. Cheers

The 10 sec PS button turn off controller feature also existed on the PS3's DS3 controller. It's nice to use this feature during updates to conserve battery power. It is especially nice during times that the controller menu is blocked to help prevent turning off the system during the action it's doing.
