You probably never knew this about your Playstation controller 

Subtle Sub Subs *Subscribe*

I really was expecting him to show how it changed colors like the one in the beginning 🤦🏻‍♂️

The lightbar also pulsates as it’s charging. The slower the pulsation, the more charged the controller is. Very subtle, but it is a thing.

also when you have a wanted level in GTA your light bar flashes red and blue

Can't we just appreciate that his controllers are so clean

Who else looked on the thumbnail and thought he was talking about the dirt on the x butto Edit: thx for all the likes i never had this much

"What you'll notice is while the controller is charging the light bar flashes orange." Every 60 seconds in Africa a minute passes...

"This is the only free and legit way to change the color of the lightbar" DS4Windows: *am i a joke to you?*

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.

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

Great Vid! I never noticed the "x" button before.

Who already knew all this😏

It changes in some games, in gta for example it goes blue and red when wanted,white in a loading screen and blue/green/orange depending on the person you're playing as in storymode

1:20 i was today years old when i found out

I love his tricks and tips

0:40 “As subdle as this is.” -John Glasscock

Such simple and yet such cool facts. Thank you! :)

He said “subtill” instead of “subtle”? Yea...

Damn the clickbait was real

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.

In The Division 2, the light changes according to your current activity, searching, traveling, encounters, and so forth.

*finds dust on x button* John: hmmm.... yes

When u play GTA or other games it changes colors to each character

This video brought electricity to my small village. Thank you vary much.

I actually never knew this. It’s quite cool to know.

I’m sure most people have figured out that when the light shuts off it’s done charging.

never change that outro. p-pu-puh-puh-Pueace! love it so much

Me: (waiting for a how to make the light bar rainbow)

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.

0:32 yeah because it was totally unnoticeable when i was trying to sleep

Wow very useful tips dude. Also if your controller is closed you can turn it on by pressing the ps button. Amazing

I actually knew that from observation but, Thanks for the confirmation!

Thank u so much for the tip when entering into a new profile I thought my controler was done for but it's all good

The light also flashes slowly whilst charging, when the battery is nearly empty. And faster as its nearly full.

When you play the last of us 1, your lightbar changes green for full health, yellow for medium, and red for low.

Also when you play God of War 3 Remastered, and changed some weapons then flash color is different to see like red is for blades of chaos, purple is for claws of hades, green is for nemesis and finally light green is for nemean gauntlet to see.

In Resident Evil your lightbar shows your healthstate I love that so much

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.

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.

Thanks my guy u helped me a lot 👍

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.

I think everyone knows this. What's next "Hey guys did you know, that pressing the X button will select things in menus"

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 ~

I don't even use Playstation but I still watch your videos when they appear in my recommended

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.

That charging one occurs in my controllers even when they are not connected to the PS4 and into a regular adapter.

4 million people just lost 2 min of their lives..

Great knowledge helped me a lot

You see the thumb up click on it ther will be something Its blue

Love your content, but can you do a tips and tricks on the way you pronounce the word “subtle”?

I knew some but learned a few which is useful and thank you

This really helped me.

When the video is short but gives you so much information that isn’t useless: nOice 👌

Ive been using the first feature from when i first charged my controller

In God of War the light bar changes color for each realm when you're using Tyr's temple. When you turn the bridge the light changes.

On the last of us the light bar turns: Red- being attacked Green- every other time Yellow- when the game is paused White- when you use the hearing ability

In PES, when u play co op, u will be assigned a random color , and the same color that is on ur player marker wwill be the color of ur lightbar

Ummm can you do a video on tips and tricks on how to hide multiple bodies? Dude pls I aint got much time

Love the vids

Okay that was great and helpful 😀

I actually knew all this by my self.

Imagine bullies in school being like What up glasscock

This video is the best I have seen in years.

When using a repair tool in Subnautica and Subnautica Below Zero on PS4, your light bar will flash colors that some sparks have.(it’s hard to explain what happens.)

His thumbnail is literally saying he didnt know we had had an x button on our controllers

Idk why but for some reason instead of my controllers light being the default blue, its stuck on purple for player one 😅 pretty cool ig

I knew everything in this video but after reading some of the comments I learned how the colors change for games I haven't played which is neat

thanks for the tips

1:03 I dont even have a ps4 and I knew that lol.

1:26 mind=blown😂😂

Also, in castle crashers whichever color you choose (like orange or gray) the controller light changes to the hero you choose. Pretty cool if you ask me tbh

In borderlands, the light bar changes based on what element your gun is. In destiny, the light bar changes depending on how your character is. Super charged will change the color to yellow and dead/waiting to revive would be red.

Did anyone see that text that said “mind = blown”

Please make a video on color changing options, my brother wanted to slam one because of flashing while playing Tekken xD Just imagine a pitchblack room and a small but strong green strobe light :D

Ugh that was mind-blowing..

Thank you💙

Imagine the xbox controller had a "P" button like how playstation has "X"😂

THIS IS SOOOOO USEELEEEEEEEEEESS!!!

Ive had my ps4 for 9 years so I knew all this stuff. good video none the less

WE LOVE UR VIDEOS

I like how the cover pic says look closer and there's just a white dot on the outer rim of the x that he doesn't mention

I just knew the first one by figuring it out my self L

Some other cool stuff: Tales of Berseria actually sets the default lightbar color to pink, and the Spyro remaster trilogy will change colir depending on what color Sparx is

Thank's !

Something tells me I can’t trust this guy.

0:41 THE B IS SILENT

I already knew everything in this video except for what the colors represent. Thanks

Nice to know,thanks

I think everyone knows about the first one

I was today years old when I knew this

Thanks for knowing this for everyone

Its cool how some games can change the light bar

It's actually "cross" John 🤔

me: looks closer at the x and sees clickbait

This man for sure has the cleanest controllers ever.

1:40 u can do all colors when u connect it to a pc and use an app on your pc for controllers (for example: ds4)

gwa gwa

everyone knows this

Lol i actually made a couple dummy profiles to log onto first just so i could have mine green, my favorite color of course

Also in GTA when you are a part of a crew your light bar changes to whatever the crew colour is... very funny when u have modded colors
