Hello readers,
I've been using a PS4 controller on my PC for a while now. About every ten minutes it seems the D-Pad stops working. Every other button and the joysticks still work, just the directional pad stops. I unplug my USB cord and plug it back in and the d-pad works again for ten minutes.
Has anyone experienced this, anyone have a fix?

Re: PS4 controller on PC issues (D-Pad shuts off)
Controllers do wear out. I just got myself a new red one I was amazed at the stiffness of the new controller buttons compared to the old one.
Let's get some cows!

FS19 2660 hrs ps4/ps5
FS 22 [ps5] 1070 hrs [pc] 60 hrs

Try and reset it.
There is a hole by the L1 and L2 underneath the controller. Use a tooth pick/paperclip and push gently till you feel the button move then release.

Hi buddy, this might be due to main reason:mpochylko1 wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 10:23 pm Hello readers,

1. Wear Out.
2. Error Log.
If 1, then the only way is getting a new one.
If 2, try resetting, and if still, it doesn't work then better talk with support or show physically to Customer care.

I never did fix this.
Curious @stevejet11 do you use an aftermarket controller?
