Mostly when someone comes over or to use as a backup if mine dies when using it. How long you do play regularly is definitely going to be the determining factor on when the controllers would die and need a recharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 My initial first 2 controllers for my PS4 seems like it's getting a bit depleted quickly and I'm already considering dropping it and use my backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you got the better controller for your PS4? PS4 controllers I know, stays longer before going weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and have it inspected to be sure but before doing that, how long have you been making use of the console controllers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's seems like a great idea. I would definitely do that and see exactly what's wrong before making any decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes of course, it would get you to know if it's a mechanical issue to be fixed before condemning it for a new purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 If it's a mechanical issue it can be fixed, but if the controller is facing a series technical issue then it's simply useless to take to repair, it's simply to go buy new one.

Even me too, I don't have time to start spending money fixing already aged or dead controller. Because I see the fault as a sign of aging controller.

My second smart phone is having a deemed screen, and I never wanted to change the tough and screen, because it wouldn't signal the end of it's damage, rather it's continuous.

I had the first experience with my PS2 console controller and it worked for 2 months and had the same failure/fault again. Fixed it for the 2nd time and it repeated the same thing, so I dumped it.

Yeah, it's why they are the tech professional that are an expert in handling the hardware. Let them do the job before you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
