Sony PS4 Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller - Steel Black
PS4
unbelievably poorly manufactured product and 100% untypical of Sony :-(
have meanwhile the 3rd defective controller...
- the first: rubber cover on the left stick after 1 week BF4 through
- the second one: R1 hangs and partly doesn't react anymore
- the third and current one: R2 no longer reacts reliably, L2 the same
play primarily shooter and also sometimes a little pinball or similar...
In PS2 times, when we had to abuse the controllers in games like Tony Hawk, SSX etc., this product would seriously not survive an hour!
the worst crap!

Haven't noticed any problems with the rubber on the analogue stick so far. I bought one at digitec and two controllers with the PS4 bundle and so far everything is fine. The controller sits well in my hand (I have small hands).

So, just to be clear, the controller is just awesome. Definitely a step up from the old Dualshock 3. Very comfortable in the hand, nice new features and the R2/L2 buttons finally feel like real triggers and not buttons and my fingers don't slip off the analogue sticks anymore.
When I look at the video posted by SevenEddy, I simply have the feeling that you are using the controller incorrectly. Because I play a lot and for a long time with the new pad and the rubber didn't break. It's also questionable why it would tear in such a place.

I can only agree with typej2266. I now have the third controller in operation.
with the other two, R2 was defective after a short time (plastic pin broken - you have continuous fire / continuous throttle afterwards).
out of sheer paranoia, i even got another one on reserve. i've had pretty much every console, but i've never broken a controller before.
if number 3 breaks, the PS4 (and reserve controller, which is ridiculous enough in itself) goes and is replaced by competition.

The product itself is of the same quality as all other original PS4 controllers, but the colour, which seems to be green/blue according to the picture, differs from the actual colour. In the original, the controller is blue as actually stated in the name (Berry Blue).

I bought my PS4 in April, which included the revised controller (new rubber compound), it may be that Digitec still have controllers in stock that have not yet been revised and therefore have a poor quality.
About my controller: Quality is okay. Only it creaks a bit.

I have quite big hands and was not satisfied with most controllers until now. I found the XBox 360 controller to be the best. The new PS4 controller finally sits well in my hands and I can reach all the buttons without any problems.
I can't confirm the material problems. I have two controllers, one that came directly with the PS and one that I bought at Digitec. Both are now about half a year old and still look almost like the first day. But I don't play that much on the PS4 yet, because the games on offer so far don't appeal to me that much. Nevertheless, I've already played the one free-to-play shooter in space properly and haven't discovered any problems with the controllers.
The only thing that bothers me is that the battery only lasts about 4-6 hours, depending on the intensity of use, before it has to go to the charging station. Or you have to play with a cable.
But the range is very good.

I also can't understand why the controller gets so many bad reviews. I have two of them and they work perfectly so far (about two weeks in daily use). One of the L2 buttons squeaks minimally. But the noise that the buttons make "by nature" when pressed are not insignificantly more audible.
The rubber coating also gives no reason for complaint.

In itself very pleasant to play. But the quality leaves a lot to be desired.
The controller was replaced by Digitec for the second time. The rubber coating on the left analogue stick is completely dissolving and the shoulder buttons are squeaking.

Looks very good and the operation and handling exactly the same as conventional PS4 controllers.

Yes, the controller is great in itself. It's just a shame that it doesn't come with an additional USB charging cable. digitec can't help it, but Sony could be a bit more accommodating.

Controller in use for approx. 3 months.
It feels great in the hand and the quality is good.

like the old one, but with more lights at the top, it's debatable whether it makes sense or not.

I have now exchanged my broken controller and received a new one (not at Digitec), which actually has a different rubber compound on the sticks. They feel less valuable, but definitely more resistant to tearing and slipping. I can't say at the moment whether the problem with the R2/L2 buttons still exists, but playing with the controller is fun in any case.

I am very satisfied with it. For me, it's the best gamepad ever.

I'm not so happy with controllers for the PS4 in general. Unfortunately, the silicone coating on the stick comes off. The two parts are also more soft plastic than on the previous PS3.
Unfortunately, it is an original accessory and there is nothing you can do about it.
The controller was replaced by Digitec as a gesture of goodwill.

After the N64 controller, still one of the best controllers (of the current generation). But unfortunately, after all these years, still not suitable for use on the computer. Mostly software from third parties is needed to use the controller at all.

Controllers are larger and therefore more handy than on the PS3. Built-in light on the front is annoying!!!

Kind of like the controller that comes with the console. Just in white :-)
So it's a good thing, as long as you have clean paws.

The controller fulfils its purpose; the colour is a matter of taste, but looks really great in white!
Otherwise, as has already been mentioned: A second charging cable would have been an advantage.
About Digitec: Ordered in the shop at 11.00 in the morning and received it the next day! Super service!

Supper controller, also great as a demo device like new!
Battery will wear out after 5-6 hours, depending on use (is the case with each colour).

Worst quality ever!
After just one (!) week, the controller creaks and squeaks in all places. Extremely pronounced on the shoulder buttons, which can no longer be used without annoying squeaking noises. This is yet another way to consistently stop the fun of playing. Thank you Sony.

The rubber on the left analogue stick tore after only 1 month of playing. I never had this problem with the PS3 controllers :-( Really bad quality!

I buy the controllers regularly because I keep breaking them. They are really good controllers, but unfortunately very unstable. Sony should really offer them in aluminium cases! Therefore only 1*
