What are the default DS4 touchpad bindings?
Detailed below thanks to Senior Producer Gary Richards.
Correct, the touchpad can be used to move around the Galaxy Map in much the same way as you would use any other touch device, you can also use pinch/spread to zoom in/out and press-hold to move up and down the Galaxy Plane, when not in the Galaxy Map each of the touchpad corners act as a separate button, the defaults are top left/right cycle fire groups and bottom left/right select the left/right panels. Like the other platforms all button controls are fully remappable.
