2nd DS4 loosing left joystick rubber.. wtf!

My first DS4 controller lasted a little over 2 weeks before it started to show ware. I gave sony the benefit of the doubt, thinking it was a defective controller. Purchased a 2nd controller on launch day but it hasn't gotten much use until the the rubber on the first controller started to flake off. it's not been 2 weeks with this controller and the EXACT same thing is happening. My hand's don't get sweaty while gaming and because of my work sked I don't usually have more then an hour a night during the week to play. My weekend gaming can get a little heavy maybe 4 hours a day..

Is that really too much time to ask from a controller?? My DS3's and 360 and X1 controllers have held up fine, and some for years with no problems.

I called sony and was pretty pissed off with the rep, he said it's something Sony has told customers they are investigating, but can't do anything about replacing the controller.. which I understand. I got a $10 credit onto my PSN account which I appreciate but this is some bullshit.

Anyone else having problems with their DS4 joysticks?? Am I too rough on them?

It's a wide-spread defect. Check the Sony forum to see a guy who had to put cloth material on the thumbsticks of his DS4. LOL

Pics with your name or it didn't happen.

My controllers are actually fine, and I have used them a lot.

Must be a defect in the manufacturing process. Hopefully Sony will fix this problem in the near future.

What do all of you do to your controllers. I have had my PS4 since launch day and my controllers both look like new. I have been playing a lot of KZSF, Knack, Ghosts, Madden, NBA, BF4 and NFS! Sounds to like either this is a complete BS story from a Lem or you hold your controllers like a vice grip!

@ShoTTyMcNaDeS: just cause it didn't happen to you or me thank goodness. Doesn't mean it didn't or can't happen.

@AutoPilotOn:

it was happening to mine,

that damn fight night round 4, and I just bought the controller that day,

im lucky I can just replace the thumbsticks if need be

Cheap product

can't you just get these replaced as defective?

Sorry that's happened but the last thing the forum needs is to hear everyone's issues with their consoles and each accessory. Your blog is the best place for this.
