I know Shopto had these a pound or so cheaper with a code a few weeks back but not a bad price for the newer V2 model without a code.

Never had any issues with either v1 or v2 controllers. V1's battery life is pants though.

I've only had one DS4 in 18 months, only issue I have is the battery life is starting to take a noticeable drop. You guys most really mistreat your controllers.

Why would you even try to snap it? It's hard to take your review of the controller seriously when you freely admit to actually trying to break the thing.

Worst pad I've ever had they are absolutely terrible IMO. I've been through about 15 and every one has issues. The main issue is the analog sticks feel like they are going over a bump mainly when pushed up or down, they are also sticky and not smooth to move mainly on the left stick. Really surprised more people don't complain about this it drives me nuts.

I have problems with the dpad where its lost that clicky press for the left and down buttons and if I press them occasionally it moves by itself. Its so annoying. I think I've been through at least 6 of them now. PS4 needs that Vita dpad as that dpad was perfect.

Are you talking about V2 or in general the DS4? I've got only V1s and didn't have any problem after two years so far. Just recently the left stick on my controller is a bit clicky and that happened after playing disc jam! I was looking to buy a V2 but not sure if the build quality on them is as good as the V1 or not?
OP, this is good deal. Heat applied earlier. :smiley:

Still got my original controller that came with the launch PS4. Suprised you've been through 15. However I have an issue of a dead spot in my 20th Anniversary controller.

All of the PS4 controllers I've had problems with the dpad. Its annoying as I mostly play fighting games and its impossible to play them with the left stick to control. I'm getting fed up as I feel like I'm wasting money buying these.

You said you applied force on your controller that made the other break. You pretty much saying you were anticipating willingly breaking it.
That being said, a stress test makes a review hard to take serious?

The one I have now when I press R3 its like the first time I've pressed it every time, it feels like I have to brake it free if that makes sense. Also the Right trigger is so easy to press its like the spring is really weak which is not good for racing games. When I move the left stick its so damn sticky when moved from centre, again this sucks for racing when I'm making little adjustments its really distracting and just ruins it tbh. I hate this pad its just pure garbage.

Do you have the original PS4 controller or the V2?

A few weeks ago I bought a cheap pad from Argos for £6... Its called PowerA air flow for PS3... It's honestly the best pad I've ever had, 10x better than DS4. Sticks are butter smooth and buttons feel nice, I like it that much I went back and bought the remaining stock haha. Wish I could use it on PS4.

V2. V1 wasn't much better I went through about 8 of those, had problem's with R2 and again the sticks. The main issue with V1 was the R2 been at about 80% sensitivity.. I only found out I had the issue on my first pad when I played Driveclub. DS4 is just a very cheaply made pad and V2 is even worse.

Did you get all those replacements for free or did you pay?
