Dualshock 4 had a v1 and a v2 and the only difference was battery life and the colour of the buttons. This is almost certainly going to be the exact same change minus the colour change I imagine.

There were slight variations on the micro USB port assembly. When I modded my DS4 to USB-C it was crucial to know which of the few different versions it was.

I wish they put the colors back on the face buttons. They're kinda boring without it.

Dual Sense charging station (included) offers easy click-in charging

Nice, if true.

[–] JackDark@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The description says it includes the charging station, so that explains the price increase.

[–] any1th3r3@lemmy.ca 8 points 8 months ago

There's actually no price increase, $90 CAD is the OG Canadian MSRP.

Good, I absolutely hate how terrible the battery life is... it should have never been that bad.

[–] Simpletim@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Looks like they took it down. But good ol' trusty web archive seems to have caught it.

I wouldn't consider the battery life on the PS5 controller to be bad? I charge it like once every two weeks (when I am not in a semester and have time to play.) But I do turn off rumble, turn down the light on it, etc.

[–] EfficientEffigy@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I didn't turn the haptics or rumble off but did set them to a lower intensity and have seen a very noticeable increment in the battery life.

Xbox controllers last 40h.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I got a Wii-U Pro controller that still has battery life and I haven't charged that thing in years.

[–] CosmicSploogeDrizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

That thing was a battery tank

[–] timo_timboo_@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I came here to mention that thing. There must be a nuclear reactor or something like that built in.

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah but then you have to have an xBox.
