If you bluetooth and connect to DS4 windows you can put any color you want or even have rainbow or different custom ones while its charging or full and normal. Wont stick once you connect back to ps4 but its cool for videos and stuff. Shame they didnt add a feature lile that to ps4 settings when its obvious the controller is fully capable

[@aoifeoffaerun]

Also periodically watch your light bar while playing games. With Fallout the lightbar changes colour to the HUD colour you select. Saints Row 4 the light bar changes to Saints purple. Also in certain games where you can sneak, it will notify you when you are spotted by changing to like a red or something and then will return to its prior colour. The led bar is so wild when you stop and pay some attention to it.

[@raidaridi5375]

In uncharted its yellow

[@mandujas1]

It changes colors based on the game: Dying Light: Green (safehouse) Red (chase) White (regular) GTA: based on story mode character or the color of your car in online Flashes red and blue when with a wanted level And also: im tired of typing on a small screen and most people haven't read this far lol

The picture in the thumbnail was in the video, and the title was most likely true for every person viewing (if some people knew it, then it's not clickbait. It said that you "probably" don't know), therefore it is not clickbait.

[@billwilesmith2948]

U have to get the cops to chase u on Mac wanted level in GTA5

[@legzdavit]

You don't need to turn your playstation off, just the controller. Whilst the controller charges, the LED pulses an orange colour. Depending on the level of charge, the pulse will be faster when low battery and slows down as it charges. You can also use a last gen android phone charger and wall plug to charge the controller instead of plugging it in the playstation. When the controller is off, hold share and ps button for a few seconds to enable Bluetooth scanning, then the device will be seen by other Bluetooth devices and you can link it to your phone or PC.

The best use of the lightbar I can recall is Alien Isolation switching from green to red when the Xenomorph is on your radar. Playing at night, that was just fantastic.

PS4 VR also uses light positioning (via the frontal-mounted PS Camera looking at the player), the colors and shape of Lightbars were designed as markers and registers for positioning and distance.

It also change colors when you play games. Like in Destiny, red is for almost dying, yellow for powers and blue is normal. It's also the same with Borderlands. Every wapon has it's own color because of the elements. So now you know ~

[@benjyzf1976]

Some games will change the colour of the controller In gta 5 while playing with Michael, the light is blue, while playing with Franklin, it’s green and it’s orange for Trevor also it changes when you are wanted by police it will turn blue and red... I also know that in fallout 4 the colour will change to green if you activate the flashlight.

Am I the only one who wants the pressure sensitive buttons from the dual shock 2 back? Even though only a few games used it I really miss that functionality. I feel like it was a little too advanced for some devs at the time but now the could really take advantage of it. I hope the dual sense has this built in. Even if devs don’t program for it at least give us the ability to program for it.

[@SiguyDoesStuff]

That would work for a Star Wars game.

[@Dw7freak]

While you can't actively change the light bar's color while it's connected to your PS4, if it's connected to your PC, you can use the Steam controller options to change the color freely.
