Topic: PS4 Controllers are nowhere to be found

@kyleforrester87 Glad to see you are still around. Sorry to hear about your break up and all the best with your cycling.

To keep this thread on track..

@nomither6 It's not just you, there don't appear to be any available anywhere in Arizona either. It's annoying because the PS4 isn't even discontinued yet, but the DS4 controllers already appear to be out of circulation with the exception of the controller bundled with each PS4...

@JohnnyShoulder @nessisonett @Thrillho @Kidfried Thanks guys, and for the kind donations - really appreciated! I'll be letting you know how it goes

@kyleforrester87 sorry to hear that mate. Looks like you smashed your donation target though and now there is a new target 😅. Do the goalposts just move when you reach it?! I guess I could be misremembering but I'm sure it was 2200 before lol

But yeah, hit me up on PSN if you wanna talk about it or anything. Post some training updates in the Health thread too if you feel up for it!

@kyleforrester87 ... you're welcome.

@Octane ah you know I love you. I'd never kick you off my island.

@ralphdibny I hit my original target so I increased it, it's all for a great cause Are you using Strava yet?

@nessisonett My first two PS4 controllers (the one that came with the system and one that I bought the same day) worked great and lasted for about five years. Eventually, they both "died of old age" with the L stick and R2 buttons breaking. I play mostly RPG's and sports games, so those are buttons that I use a lot.

From that point, I bought three name brand Sony replacements, and the quality of each was clearly not the same. You can feel it when you hold them. The first completely crapped out within a year, with the L stick basically caving in. My latter PS3 controllers had this same issue. I literally broke one in half accidentally while playing.

The second and third have developed the drift issues, like you spoke about. Interestingly, it doesn't happen with every game. But for a lot of games, the character will just creed forward continuously unless I'm actively moving it in another direction. Thankfully, both controllers are still useable after two or fewer years of life, but its probably only a matter of time.

@kyleforrester87 oo yeah I am, still working out the kinks though. I'm sort of running my watch app and Strava at the same time and ending up with two sets of data. Bit confusing really bit Strava itself doesn't pick up my watch but will import the data from the app

@RogerRoger thanks, yes hopefully it’ll all work out positively, things have just gone a bit turbo is all.

@ralphdibny feel free to follow me on Strava, I’ll follow you back.

Same for anyone here using it, just search my name. 👍🏻

@nomither6 Actually I live in a pretty big city in Cali.

@kyleforrester87 done 👍, I sent you a PSN message to explain some stuff cos I don't think Strava has a messaging feature but yeah! I look forward to comparing notes lol
