The Fixes Sony's DualShock 4 Controller Still Needs

An anonymous reader writes Sony's PS4 has been on sale for more than a year now, and while its revamped DualShock 4 controller has been critically lauded, it's not without its faults. A new article flags up the issues — both hardware and software — that Sony could look to improve. Almost all of the points — a bigger battery, more options for the lightbar, repositions Option button — could be fixed with a bit of elbow grease. After all, as the author points out, Sony has already quietly changed the model it ships with each console once already.

    It's better this way. You can buy a regular USB cable anywhere, it's not Sony trying to make you pay for a Sony cable. By not including a USB cable that almost everyone has (in multiple useless numbers too) it's better for the environment.

    I would also be happy if computer power supplies didn't include the standard power cable either, I checked my cables box yesterday and I have over a dozen of the damn things. Standard cables outlive the computers.

    You should know that Sony has a history of delivering stupid pieces of shit.
