PS4 stick wear

[peanuthead]

Sorry if it's already been posted. But I have noticed there is fair amount of wear on the left sticks on both my PS4 controllers.

Bit annoyed as I play it for 1-2 hours every other day and had it less than a month. Just hope Sony have built the console a bit better

Anyone else got this issue?

Also I got one controller from Argos so will take it back. But who do I contact about the one that came with the console?

Plus any ideas on how to stop it happening again?

You realise the xbox one controllers are going cheaper than the PS4 controllers right?

I've used mine for a good few hours and got no wear though. And I think you'll find he means console, we can't all pick the right one (I see you have a PSN ID)

If you bought the console from Argos, and it came with the controller which is faulty .. take it back to Argos. Simple as that. They should swap the controller or maybe even the whole package.

I know what he meant

Last night I realised how rough the sticks have gone already! I have two controllers and one isn't as bad as the other. No point getting them replaced now as I'm guessing it will end up being a common problem. Might as well wait and see if they solve the issue

Mines the same as well, all the ps3 and 4 had the same issue. Can't get nowt right

This is my problem. I know taking them back is a bit pointless as the new ones will do the same, but don't want to leave them just to eventually spilt and fall apart.

Have seen some covers that go over them so might give them a go.

I've just got a £50 refund from amazon to buy another controller. Wear was minimal. Why should I buy thumbgrips to solve the issue. They don't want the controller back either. Annoyed though as I have two controllers not one. So I'll phone again next week

I'm using ORB caps on my DS4 - much grippier than stock and will prevent wear :

At that price you'd be silly not to.

Yeah I know, but that's what I said to amazon. Are there different shapes you can get? I'm sure I read there are some that are comfier than others.

They come with two shapes, one set's rounded and one set's concave.

I'm using the concave ones and it took about 10 minutes to adjust as obviously your thumbs sit slightly higher on them, but they are much superior to stock imo. Arrived in less than 24 hours too.

Saw this on press models when they were tweeting. Seems like one defect for the list to be rectified.

I've ordered them thanks. I've been looking for the concave ones but couldn't find them; that's why.
