On my other controller the touch pad clicks when pressed like some child spilled juice on my buttons and they sticky. Cheap ass shyt and I hate it for shooters.
Within the first month of getting my PS4, both of my controllers R2 buttons get stuck down. Bout 6 months ago one of the buttons straight fell off. The other is still there. The rubber on the thumb sticks on both are work to shyt, and I dont even fukk with my PS4 that much. Disappointing build quality, no doubt.

You just described xbox buttons to a tee. WOAT buttons on controllers go to xbox, easily.

I've never really had problems with controllers in the past, I take care of them. But the analog sticks on the PS4 started pealing off after about a month or so.

I'm still using the controllers from 2013, only issue was the sticks, slapped covers on them, no problems since then

::dwillhuh: word, you could actually swap out the batteries???


Yeah you just cut the lead off the regular one (or a broke ps3 controller) and solder it on to the battery, BAM 50% more battery life.
