shahbazm88 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hello guys! Need some advice and info on DS4s (preferably from long term users) Are the DS4s durable with continuous rigorous use? Are there any cheaper third party alternatives? Plus, what kind of shell and button protection would you recommend for the controller? Help me out people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmkaks Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 None. The dual shock 4 is the best controller I have used. Period.(I have used most mainstream controllers since PS 1) Just buy a couple of them thumbstick covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Sunny Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 ds4 is the worst controller. https://www.google.co.in/search?q=ds4+circuit&espv=2&biw=1920&bih=979&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjJ58_HiM3OAhUMOY8KHUDDBf4Q_AUIBigB#tbm=isch&q=playstation+4+controller+circuit+board&imgrc=kn_OjXex_hrUWM%3A this circuit film is fragile and few buttons will stop functioning. my two controllers got bricked in less than 3 months. but i fixed them by importing the film from aliexpress. if you need an alternate controller which is more durable then go for http://www.play-asia.com/hori-pad-fps-plus-black/13/708wqv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need multiple units if I buy controllers. Have to see of its feasible to import them via Playasia. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Durability-wise im not happy with the materials used. I'm talking mechanically because I've gone thru a few sets of R2-L2 buttons because they keep breaking. I've also swapped the sticks with Aluminium after market ones from Aliexpress. Circuit/Electronics no issues so far and I normally clock 4-6 hours daily. You do not require any shell protections or button protections. I would however suggest either Thumbstick covers or if you dont mind tinkering get an aluminium stick replacement set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shahbazm88 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Ok guys. Thanks for the help friends! Just wanted a heads up before going for a PS4. No I mean the analog thumbsticks. L2 R2 buttons aren't available in aluminium. Yeah. I realized that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
