Product Description
PS4 / PS3 / PC Compatible. 6-Axis Gyro Sensor. Asymmetric Dual Vibration Motors. Non-Linear Triggers. 600mAh Battery - 6 to 8 Hours Play. Steering Wheel Mode. Black and White.
The GAMINJA P412 is a wireless gamepad designed for PS4, PS3, and PC (Windows 7/8/10, Steam). A 6-axis gyro sensor enables motion aiming for FPS and racing games. Asymmetric dual motors deliver realistic rumble feedback that varies by intensity and location. Non-linear triggers provide graduated resistance for more natural acceleration and braking feel. The 360-degree no-dead-angle joysticks include a steering wheel mode for racing games. Ergonomic textured grip for extended sessions. 600mAh rechargeable battery lasts 6-8 hours per charge with 2-3 hour recharge time. Available in Black and White. Ships from United States.
Compatibility notes:

Key Features
- 6-axis gyro sensor - motion aiming - The 6-axis IMU (3-axis accelerometer + 3-axis gyroscope) detects controller tilt, rotation, and orientation in all directions; used for motion aiming in FPS games (tilt to fine-tune crosshair position), steering in racing games (tilt left/right to steer), and motion controls in compatible titles; gyro sensitivity is typically adjustable in-game; gyro aiming is supported in PS4 games that enable motion input and in PC games with controller remapping software
- Asymmetric dual vibration motors - Two motors of different sizes and speeds create asymmetric rumble - one motor handles high-frequency fine vibrations (footsteps, small impacts) while the other handles low-frequency heavy vibrations (explosions, crashes); the asymmetric design is more nuanced than single-motor controllers and more closely replicates the feel of first-party PS4 controllers
- Non-linear triggers - L2 and R2 - Non-linear trigger response means the resistance and input curve is not uniform across the full trigger travel; provides a more natural feel for variable-input actions like acceleration, braking, and aiming where partial presses have different effects than full presses; distinct from the adaptive triggers on PS5 DualSense
- 360-degree no-dead-angle joysticks + steering wheel mode - Full 360-degree joystick range with minimized dead zone for precise analog input; steering wheel mode maps joystick tilt to steering input for racing game compatibility
- 600mAh battery - 6 to 8 hours play - 2 to 3 hours charge - Built-in rechargeable battery; 6-8 hours covers most gaming sessions without interruption; recharges in 2-3 hours via the included cable while the controller is not in use
- Ergonomic textured grip - Contoured grip shape with textured finish for secure hold during extended sessions; button layout follows standard PS-style controller layout
- Wireless + wired connectivity - Primary wireless connection for PS4/PS3/PC; wired connection via cable also supported
- 2 colors - Black and White
- In the box: P412 controller, charging cable, user manual
- Ships from United States

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this controller work with PS5?
No - the GAMINJA P412 is compatible with PS4, PS3, and PC only. The PS5 console requires Sony's DualSense controller for native functionality; third-party PS4-compatible controllers do not work wirelessly with PS5. The P412 may work on PS5 when playing PS4 games in backward compatibility mode via a wired USB connection on some firmware versions, but this is not guaranteed or officially supported. For PS5, purchase a DualSense or a PS5-compatible third-party controller specifically designed for the PS5.
How do I connect this controller to a PC and does it need drivers?
For wired PC connection: plug the controller into your PC via the included cable - Windows should recognize it as a generic HID gamepad. For Steam games, Steam's built-in controller support (Big Picture mode or Steam Input) recognizes PS-style controllers and maps them correctly for most Steam titles without additional software. For non-Steam games or games that require Xbox controller input, DS4Windows (free software) emulates the controller as an Xbox 360 controller, enabling full compatibility with DirectInput and XInput games. Download DS4Windows from the official GitHub repository. For wireless PC connection, a Bluetooth adapter is required if your PC does not have built-in Bluetooth - pair via standard Bluetooth device pairing.
What is the joystick sticking fix if my joystick feels stiff or drifts after shipping?
Joystick stiffness or a slightly off-center feeling after shipping is not a defect - the spherical joystick base can shift slightly during transit. Fix: press the joystick cap straight down firmly and evenly until you feel or hear a soft click - the base resets to its centered position. Test movement in all four diagonal and cardinal directions after resetting. If the joystick moves smoothly in all directions, the reset was successful. If stiffness or drift persists after two or three reset attempts, contact the seller for support - persistent drift that causes in-game camera or movement input without touching the stick indicates a hardware issue that may warrant a replacement.
Does the 6-axis gyro work on PC and how do I enable it?
Gyro functionality on PC depends on the game and software setup. On PS4, gyro is enabled per-game in supported titles (Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Gran Turismo, etc.) - no extra setup needed. On PC via Steam, Steam Input can map gyro output to mouse movement, enabling gyro aiming in any Steam game with mouse support - go to Steam Big Picture > Controller Settings > enable PS4 configuration support, then configure gyro-to-mouse in the game's controller layout. For non-Steam PC games, third-party tools like DS4Windows or reWASD can route gyro input. Not all PC games natively support gyro - the software layer is required for most titles outside of Steam.
Can I disable the vibration and how?
Yes - vibration can be disabled if you have hand or arm sensitivities, repetitive strain concerns, or simply prefer no rumble. On PS4: go to Settings > Devices > Controllers > uncheck Enable Vibration. On PC via Steam: go to the controller configuration in Steam Input and set vibration intensity to zero. On PC via DS4Windows: vibration passthrough can be toggled off in the DS4Windows settings. Disabling vibration also extends battery life, as the dual motors are one of the larger battery draws during gameplay. The non-linear triggers retain their feel regardless of vibration settings - the trigger resistance is mechanical, not motor-driven.
How do I charge the controller and what does a full charge look like?
Connect the included charging cable from the controller's charging port to a USB power source (PS4 USB port, laptop, USB wall adapter, or power bank). The controller charges while powered off for maximum efficiency - charging while powered on is possible but slower. Charge indicator: the controller's LED light (or indicator light if present) shows charging status - refer to the user manual for the specific LED color/behavior for your unit. A full charge takes approximately 2-3 hours from empty. Battery life is 6-8 hours of active play. To maximize long-term battery health: avoid leaving the controller at 0% for extended periods; if storing for months without use, charge to approximately 50-60% before storage and recharge at least once per year.
