I have 3 with varying drift atm. Part is my fault for not testing out my newest controller immediately. But I take care of them and clean them. So....fuck ps4 controllers.

since no one can get a PS5, the PS4 is also a lot more expensive these days, too.

Haven't used the DualSense, but the Sony controllers get a little bit worse with each generation

the original DualShock remains the best controller design yet

I hate the PS3 one for ruining L/R2. DS4 is okay, but very convenient for recording stuff. I only ever used its touchpad for typing(which takes some practice) and like one game that I can remember(Gravity Rush 2). I need more time with the dualsense to have an opinion of it.

Yeah COVID totally botched the whole 'Buy old hardware for dirt cheap during the generation transition'

At least software is cheap. If someone never owned a PS4 I think it would be worth them to just wait for a PS5 and play cheapo PS4 games on it.

Damn, I got lucky as hell. I still have the DS4 that I bought for PC use after selling my PS4 back in like 2015 or 2016. Beat the hell put of that thing too between Rocket League, Tekken, and DoA.

The touchpad is ridiculous in retrospect. How many games actually use it lol. I don't think I own one. There was TLOU2 which let you strum the guitar Ellie played using it but I can't remember if that was ever important.

You did get lucky, that's all this is. Cause I was once on the other side of this argument about controllers. It's not about how you take care of them or something you're doing wrong. It's about luckily picking the one's that don't go faulty. Hell, I have my first PS4 I bought and never needed a new one. I play like 40 hour gaming sessions on it at times. My sister has a 360 from like 10 years ago that she doesn't take good care of lol. It's 90% luck.

I've a fear of my PS4 crapping out soon. I've had it since 2014 and its fan sounds like a jet engine. It doesn't help that I don't clean it as often as I probably should (last time I did was a year ago). These modern consoles just don't seem they're built to last like consoles of yesteryear.

Shit, I had a launch 360 that Red Ringed once but otherwise ran flawlessly for like 8 years with no maintenance. It still worked when I got rid of it but overheated a lot.

More advanced parts,more stuff can go wrong. None my stuff works perfectly lol. My tv and sound system are both from this year and get glitchy as hell.

I feel like the DualSense sucks. It's nice and heavy, but something about it feels off and cheap.

But yeah, they just had a sale yesterday for $40 DS4s.

I enjoy my Dualsense over my previous PS controllers, I painted them so there's a bit of sentimental value.
