God DAMN these shyts were made by fukkin Hasbro or Mattell. Why on both of mine, the R2 button sticks? My dude in 2K is sprinting around the whole game. nikka's turbo bar is over a minute and a half into the first quarter. The fukk? The rubber on my left thumbstick is all starting to fall off and shyt.

Sony :ufdup:

Luckily, I"m making a big deal about this shyt, and chatting to some muhfukka there and they're sending me a box to send in and replace both of my controllers. A bit inconvenient, but fukk it. They must know that they fukked up with these controllers if its this easy. One thing about MS. Their hardware and accessories and shyt are of a higher build quality. My PS3 controller was literally falling apart n I only had that bytch for a year :snoop:

Mine is not falling apart either. Been using it for for Tekken Tag 2 and TLOU, worst I've seen is the powder shyt that forms after the stick has rubbed against the socket ridges for sometime (which also happens to DS3 controllers).

My major gripe is the battery life. Light bar is ass too, don't like the glow when I'm playing in the dark, it's noticeable even with the TV on.

LOL that light bar is dumb as fukk, man. WE should have the option to turn that shyt off. The battery life for these controllers is TERRRRRIBLE. I don't know if its just because of the light bar or what, but its almost as bad as the Wii U gamepad. Not that fukkin bad, but pretty close.

Thought I'd be okay with it but I can't help but get mad when I've charged the shyt fully to see it one bar down shortly after. I heard some folks were using DS3 replacement batteries to put in the DS4. Not sure if it's safe or legit.

The rubber on the analog sticks feels a little cheap to me but the controller itself is holding up pretty well. There's a video on YouTube about the issue with bumpers sticking. You'll have to take the controller apart and clean it, theres some kind of residue build up on some these controllers that causes the bumpers to stick

I use my DS4 controllers daily and I've had no worn out issue on them. Maybe it's a bad batch going out?? I got two launch day from Amazon. No sticky buttons or worn out joystick.

My R2 button was sticking if you pushed it about an 1/8 of the way. R1 used to skip before too. Was going to open them up when I just blew into to them and they went back to normal. I don't even know what my sticks look like since I put the grips that came with the triggers you could buy for the DS3.

My problem is the battery life. I've never tested it but it seems like I'm only getting about 4 hours out of this thing. The newer revisions better take care of that asap.
