Had mine since release in the uk at the end if November was away in the US for 7 days in December away from my ps4 only use it for 2 hrs maybe 4 nights a week and the left stick has torn at the bottom left edge and on the first use I noticed the rubber had bulged in the centre, poor quality tat made in China

My sticks are broken up after 15 days. The one I bought with the PS4 and the one I bought alone.
Beside Both Controllers have issues on the R2 Button (Firing, Running etc…)

VERY VERY VERY BAD EXPERIENCE,

well the rubber does feel softer on the ds4, is it just a case of trimming your thumb nails to stop the wear? Lol, i have the original controller that came with the console and the red controller and i can feel a diffrence after only two weeks.

I’m using this controller with MW3 on the ps3 of course…. and have only used the controller twice both times when I bought them! The first time I would say its a fluke… but twice? Maybe this game stop got a bad batch

In reply to solomonshv. Yeah, that's a nice plan. I'm not getting anything for a bit, but when I do, it'll be an Xbox, simply because I've invested more than a decade into the platform (including LIVE), and I prefer the exclusives it offers. The one I'd care about on PS4 (Killzone) would need an HD remix on the PS4 before I considered it, as I'd want to get the whole story before playing.

In reply to Russell Gorall. I think it comes up as "Guest" because he got banned or something. This guy brought the exact same comment into another article because I didn't bow to my mighty, Sony overlords. I assume he then followed my comment history to do it here.

In reply to cubs223425.

i thought the same exact thing (and i happen to be an Apple user). this is really stupid. but this is not enough to get me to buy an xbox instead.

since i’m going to have 3 controllers that will be used often, i will just take out a best buy warranty on one of them for two years. since best buy doesn’t keep track of serial numbers on accessories, one warranty will cover all my controllers 🙂
