I'm aware that this was a common enough issue but I could have sworn I read on here or another forum that they had began using a different rubber to prevent this. I only got the PS4 a little over a month ago so definitely didn't expect it to be an issue this soon. People had mentioned some sort of cover you can buy for the analogue stick but at €50 a pop for the controllers I expect them to work just fine as they are without spending any more. The wear on the analogue stick isn't too bad at the minute but I expect it to get worse further down the line. In advance of that I'm just wondering what are the shops policies in terms of replacing the controller? Will they just replace it on the spot? I got the controller in Smyths if that makes any difference.

EoinHef wrote: » Which is also an option,but replace the sticks and be done with it imo. It will just be hassle sending them back all the time. I do agree they should be better quality,for me the controller build quality is the weakest part of the overall PS4 package.@Otacon They look pretty cool man,reckon ill go with them. Thank you
