    Default PS4 DS4 Controller(s)

    Heya...

    Just wondering if anyone else is having or had this issue;

    The triggers (L2 & R2) are making an insane squeaking noise when pressed. At first it started with just the L2 but now the R2 is doing the same. It has happened on both my controllers. My mates controller is doing the same. Is this a design fault?

    I pressed mine now to test, and it's dead silent.

    There are a couple of tutorials to fix it all over the net.

    Basically open it up, blow out some dust that accumulated on the triggers and close it again. Mine squeak as well but I wear headphones so I does not bother me at all.

    Beotek mine did the same just spray some q20 oil on the triggers works instantly no more squeeking and no need to open the controller.

    What headset do you use?
    Been wondering if I should get one, wondering if it would be that advantageous. In a game like TLoU I would imagine as much.

    Probably my favorite feature of the DS4's is the headphone jack on the controller. No need to spend hundreds/thousands on a wireless PS4 compatible headset.

    I got the Sony Pulse a while back when it was on special, and must say, one of my better buys. You get a headset app as well for these, where you can upload pre-configured profiles for certain games to your headset. Two of the games I play currently have profiles in this app, Second Son and TLOU. I think a decent headset is worth it, but cheaper options like Crableg mentioned can do the job as well.
