The Dualshock 4 is a very well-built controller compared to the Dualshock 3, and even arguably the Xbox One controller. Unfortunately though, as pointed out on reddit, there are some flaws.
The Dualshock 4’s left analog stick has been suffering a glitch where it is automatically moving to the bottom right, much like the automatic scroll glitch older consoles suffered. According to the user who submitted the post, Sony was not familiar with the problem. A few other users also commented saying they had a problem with the controller, and that although it is ergonomic, the quality isn’t top notch.
This issue comes in the wake of an automatic ejecting issue the Playstation 4 had. Sony jumped on the issue by offering very little help to people who had this problem. Other issues include analog grips falling off, battery life, and broken light bars.
Although this may not be something big, it is showing that people are having their fair share of issues with the console giant, and it is a sign that Sony needs to act now.

The triggers are terrible(worst triggers in controller history), they also squeak and have an unsatisfying draw to them. I guess i’m just spoiled by the xbox one controller.
fyi, the trigger squeak is fixed by taking a pencil and rubbing some graphite under the button when it’s pressed in. there is a video on youtube and it works like a charm. as far as the xbox one controller goes, imo, the only thing better about it is the analog stick rubber quality and ergonomics. lastly, they can be fitted into a ps4 controller, in which case makes the controller as perfect as any controller has ever been (though i wish the blasted touchpad was on the underside so the share/options buttons were easier to get to).
Mine dont squeak and i’ve had them since nov 2014, whereas my X1’s controller already feel all loose and i got that just a few months ago. The Ds4 is a much better control.
The X1 is garbage in every way. Only fanboys would like that crap.
I haven’t had any problems with my controller. The grip feels great and everything works as it should. I have actually found this to be a better, more comfortable controller than my xbox one’s
Best controller ever made.
Indeed, The only thing I hate about it is the L3 rubber.
DS4 is overrated Xbox One and 360 are both better in fact the only reason Sony fans praise it is because the DS3 was junk
perhaps you require a “Reality Slap”.
Your opinion is “overrated” and “junk”. The 360’s controller is WAY overrated and the X1 controller is even worst. And i would consider them both “junk”. And the only reason MS fanboys hate on it, is because they are MS fanboys. Pathetic!
The DS4 smokes the X1/360 controller.
This article sounds like a secret hit job to me, a stealth troll. Now do an article about all the things wrong with the X1 controller. Cuz they all have issues.
I never had any complaints about any controller, however I have already replaced two DS4s due to the R2 button sticking. Since I had no insurance on the first one I opened it and found that the pivot pin is plastic and it’s molded into the switch. The plastic had stressed around the metal spring.
It’s a good controller when it works but they need to fix that. Just got my third on Sunday, after replacing the first one in April.
So despite issues the dual shock 4 is better than the 3 in terms of quality despite the 3 not having issues? Makes perfect sense
Compared to DS3, it’s a better controller, but it’s still a p*ss poor cheap piece of plastic in comparison to Xbox controllers.
Sony = lies, overhype and underdeliver.
