Will the new Dualshock 4 work with Marchmallow

Hi

 

I am planning to get a Dualshock 4 for my KD-65S8505C but I stumbled across this message from Sony:

https://sony-eur-eu-en-web--eur.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/134686

 

It says TV is not compatible with their own controller which I find amazing. The thing that is not clear to me is if this is something permanent or perhaps it will be fixed in the Marchmallow update whenever that happens.

 

I would like to get the right controller from the start but also avoid buying a previous version if the new one will work in the next release.

 

Anyone knows?

I have been experiencing problems with my Dualshock 4 controller (CUH-ZCT2E) since the recent Bravia firmware update to 3.865. Before the update the controller was working perfectly but now there is serious lag and unresponsiveness when buttons are pressed, making gaming impossible. Has anyone else had this problem?


3.885 from 28.06.2017. Exactly the same. Very sluggish. I don't know how about ZCT1E, but ZCT2E brakes the system. On f/w 3.533 - everything was ok exept buttons remapping.

@Andreiii - Sluggish as in lag?  Similar to this thread :

For everyones information - Sony are no longer supporting DS4 controllers on the Android TV :cry:

Absolute joke, these tvs should be on watchdog, sony are about as useless as Google. both release garbage, updates that are worse, and do nothing to put right the problems.

I tested DS4 v1 with Marshmallow - it works without lags; but the games on Marshmallow still sluggish
