This is a w. The joysticks sit slightly higher than the original Playstation c so you can easily use it at a distance. It also has the same rumble capabilities as the original PS4 controller. The only complaint is the D-pad. It feels a bit slippery and not as precise as the D-pad on the original Playstation controller. Also, you can't turn on your Playstation from the controller. You have to turn it on at the console itself.

All in all though, this is really good value for money and an excellent alternative to the standard Playstation controller. Very happy with my purchase.
