Not even a month of owning this thing and looks what's going on.

Normal gameplay I manly play GT7 and jrpgs I haven't drop it once.

The batteries are also horrible full change and at 1 bar not even 2 hours later.

$217 for this. 3/10 do Better Sony.

 

[Boo Who?]

I've had mine since launch, use it daily, and it is still in mint condition. Best controller I have ever owned. Blows away Scuf, the Elite Controller, the Razer. Im thinking you got a bad one.

 

[Starhowl]

Thanks for the heads up, similar shit happening with the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller - they're all not worth the money!

Yeah the part that peels off is absolutely stupid. Got some wraps on Amazon but yeah, not sure it will even be revised in the 30th edition.

I have no idea how you managed that. Looks very sturdy to me.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I swear to god, my dog (boxer) makes that face every day. We call it her "derp face"

 

[Mr Moose]

I thought that was plastic. Is it some type of shit fake leather?

Yeah that's what it feels like.

I've three since launch and they're perfect still.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

They don't have to do better when people are just addicted to brand names.

 

[Forsete]

No problem with mine. Launch unit.

Was about to say I had the same issues with that controller as well lasted me about 8 months. First and last time I spend my money on these "pro" controllers, terrible build quality.

 

[Bernardougf]

LoL gaf is great!

 

[SJRB]

Did you put it close to a candle or something? Shit looks melted.

No one is holding anything I didn't payed 217 for this controller to have this happen no one does.

I also have 2 normal DS one from 2021 which is in great condition and one from 2023 also in good condition.

 

[Blitzmangoman]

Guess you just got a faulty one. Warranty?

 

[HRK69]

No one is holding anything I didn't payed 217 for this controller to have this happen no one does.

So one day you decided to play and the controller looked liked this?

 

[Synastry]

?? This started to happen 3 weeks ago its gotten worst not better.

 

[Miles708]

They make terrible quality controllers because people are willing to spend stupid money for overpriced accessories, and even those are made with the same quality.

But you all will continue to spend stupid money anyway.

 

[ArtHands]

That's why we're using better and cheaper ones like 8Bitdo Ultimate on PC

 

[RoboFu]

Yeah the hype for that thing died before it even came out.

 

[Umbral]

I've had mine since launch as well and it's in great condition still. You sure you didn't get a knockoff or maybe just a lemon?

 

[TexMex]

Daily use since launch, zero issue with build quality.

Short battery life has been well publicized since launch day tho. That one's on you my guy.

 

[R6Rider]

General consensus disagrees.

 

[SenkiDala]

Just wash your hands man... it's not just during showers you know ? It must come from sweating.

It is like the dudes who said that the usual DualSense gets "dirty" very fast... I've seen a dozens of threads like this.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/are-your-dualsense-controllers-dirty.347581/#post-54476236 this thread for exemple, look at the image in the first "spoiler" tag.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

The rubber grips are peeling off mine.

 

[SenkiDala]

I mean... Not even A MONTH ? It is not made to be inserted in anuses.

 

[ReBurn]

I mean... Not even A MONTH ? It is not made to be inserted in anuses.

It is if you try hard enough.

 

[crazyriddler]

People who defend the controller just because it's the brand that it is are part of the problem, which is why every generation we have controllers that are toy-like in durability and also more expensive.

Shame.

 

[kevboard]

this is why I hate rubber surfaces on controllers... absolutely horrible every time

 

[Topher]

Damn that sucks. No such problem with mine. A month old? I would contact Sony. Should be a year warranty on that.

happens to me as well, i have to buy third party grips to repalce it.

I think Sony messed up on this one.

I think the grip part depends on how sweaty, oily your hands are.

I never threw my controller, everything works perfect except the grip peeled off this year (i bought it around 2 years ago i think), its not a plastic material, its more of a leather type material.
Im not sure why Sony picked that particular part made of nonplastic material, weird.

But yea grip peeled off within a month is weird

[ap_puff]

Yikes, haven't had that happen to mine but a bit of googling seems to show it's fairly common. Gonna have to check mine when I get home

I had one that did the exact same thing, except im willing to admit it was my fault for raging while playing COD.. What did you do to cause this? Come clean

 

[realcool]

happened to my controller too. doesnt affect my gameplay, but the way it looks slightly bothers me.

 

[diffusionx]

Gamepad if it's Rare

[Traxtech]

Had mine since release and none of these issues, grips are still pristine.
