If it’s not the retina blinding lightbar draining it then what is? Is it the motion sensitivity? Rumble feedback? Games have gotten so large and immersive it can take more than 4 hours to familiarise yourself in game. HOW THE FUCK did they manage to screw the one feature people actually care about?? For Fuck’s sake the DS3 is almost identical and that battery lasts for ages.
Why does this have such a horrendous battery life?
Onions
Why aren't you playing wired?
My Samsung Odyssey+ controllers have like a 3 hour battery life. It's ridiculous.
There isn't enough to play on PS4 for it to last that long anyway.
I have no fucking clue, ps3 controllers last way longer. This shit is a travesty. I fucking hate this shit. I got a switch pro controller instead for my pc use because it lasts like 90 hours compared to this damn thing only lasting like 4
No one knows.
Only the original batch had weak battery life the DS4 bundled with the slim and later last longer approximately as long as a joy-con i.e 15-19 hours.
Mine lasts about 5 hours unplugged, but its not great. Remember you can turn down the brightness of the light, but you cant turn it off, which is a very baffling choice by Sony
Honestly I think they just put a tiny battery in there. Can't be the motion or touchpad as other controllers have those features with far better battery lives and they shouldn't draw a lot of power anyway. LEDs also draw barely any power.
