Are the early PS4 controllers shit tier or do all of them suffer from chink quality?

My R2 was giving out and only registering as being pressed down 80% of the way, which made any sort of racing game or anything that relied on the analog trigger impossible.

Tried to take it apart with the smallest screwdrivers I could find (ph00 and 0, which were the ones used in all the guides) and the screws just wouldn't budge and ended up stripping with the slightest force.

I've concluded that this POS just isn't worth fixing.

Recommend a good controller for PC, discuss controllers.

Heard Xbone controller is better but I'm reading a lot of complaints about simple things at the same time.

idk, I use a Switch Pro controller and it works great with everything. Non-Steam xinput games will need to use X360CE, unless you want to fumble through remembering the buttons by their number. Only exception is any game built with Unity uses rawinput exclusively, so YMMV.

Aside from third parties of which there are plenty that are better, it's probably the worse offer out of all of the big three.

if you have too much deflection on the stick, you can actually abuse the shit out of it and do almost human impossible inputs

>>15960037

I have a first run DS4, and I can confirm. The plastic part of the analog sticks cuts the rubber coating from the inside, eventually cutting through to the outside. I have 3rd party textured rubber caps on mine, and while they were made for the Dual Shock 2 and 3, which have bulkier stick caps, they still fit will enough. I recommend them for pretty much any controller, as they're dirt cheap. They just slip over like galoshes.

I have a later DS4 that came with a used PS4 I bought, and its right stick started wearing out, so I put a cap on it, too, but I don't know how much newer that DS4 is in comparison to the one I bought by its lonesome, years back.

Never had any trouble with the triggers or buttons.

I use my DS4 on PC because it's basically a Dual Shock 2 with better triggers, a more comfortable grip, and the touchpad functions as a mouse.

Why can't people just make dualshock 2 for pc. It would sell like hot cakes.

Because they're trash and the Dualshock 3 is superior in every way?

You want a good DPAD and good build quality get some Nintendoshit.

I've 2 PS2s and never owned a PS3 and even I can attest that the early Dualshocks were trash and the only good thing about them were the PS1/PS2 compatibility.

>or do all of them suffer from chink quality?

I haven't had any issues with mine, and I'm about two years in. Sony doesn't make high-quality controllers, but they're not bad durability wise from my experience. By this time in my 360's life (about two and a half years), I had already gone through two of their controllers and was getting a third due to unmanageable stick drift. The rubber had completely worn off the bottom of the sticks on both - and while my Xbox One controller is still new, out of the box from the factory I already don't like how button presses don't fully register unless you make a very deliberate and concerted pressing motion all the way down. Especially on the guide button, but occasionally with the face buttons too. There is far too much distance to press to get it to register for my taste, and it makes them garbage for rapid-fire inputs IMO. In contrast, the DS4 buttons are very responsive and have about half the distance to press.

And that's not even close to what I consider chink quality, like Mad Catz or PDP Afterglow. Even the Xbox One Elite (from what little I tried of one) feels solid and quality, even if that's just an illusion because the damned thing falls apart literally on it's own. you get what you pay for, amirite?

Also, just for the record - both my old dualshock and dualshock 2 controllers work great despite signs of heavy wear (big gouges in the stick where they rub against the top of the framing). My Dreamcast, Duke, and NGC controllers also all have perfectly functional and responsive sticks. The only really bad think I've got to say about the DS4 gen 1 engineering wise is that the battery has a comparable charge to a fucking Sega Nomad. But that's more on Sony's retarded decision to make it light up like a gay rave toy to make it compatible with their VR unit. They cheaped out and designed shit camera-based motion tracking just so they could get rid of the leftover PS3 move controllers that never sold

Really the only official controllers I would say are chink tier are the 360 and N64 because their analog sticks are so shit and easy to break. Maybe DS3 too, but I can't say since I've never used one - just heard bad things.

It's not, it's basically an SP pad but with even less of a pivot making unintentional simultaneous presses happen way too frequently.

You're right, but the 360 gamepad in the "godtier" section is horseshit. Of all the second hand xbox controllers I've come across, OG ones were in near perfect condition whereas at least 70% of the 360 pads were noticeably damaged or outright broken.

The only reason I use a Gamecube controller to play smash is that Nintendo hasn't made a decent controller since the Gamecube. And the Gamecube controller is only passable at best. The last time they made a GOOD controller was the Super Nintendo in 1991 (fucking 28 years ago).

They're stiff, have poor deadzones and have the feeling you're rubbing rocks together instead of smoothly shifting a stick. When it comes to USB I don't know what to recommend. There's a few good solutions for real hardware.

Yes that one, it's cheaper ($30) because its meant for kids, but that dpad is really good, it has no stupid LEDs, the face buttons and triggers don't feel mushy and the select/start buttons are located in the same place as the old dualshocks, the analog sticks are more or less the same as a DS4 though (thumbsticks on the hori are slightly more concave), the only downside is the gimped touchpad, but who gives a fuck about that.

>Do you know the name of it?

Crystal DS4, comes in red, blue and white/translucent, they were the latest DS4 built so they come with the improvements of the v2 DS4 (improved battery life, improved analog sticks, thumbstick grips that aren't made of cheap rubber that wears off after a week of use and being able to dim the lights on the controller, you can also change the color of said lights).
