Odd, I’ve never once experienced any sort of issue like this with my PS4 controllers.
Makes me wonder if there could be something else environmental going on, or if I’m just lucky…
EDIT: Just double checked and they use Bluetooth with no obvious need tor maintaining line of sight? (I should have remembered this as I’ve used my PS4 controllers with Raspberry Pis over Bluetooth before). So I guess localised radio interference will have the potential to affect range.
- kroltan 5y agoIt's probably interference then, when I had access to a PS4 I lived in a big apartment block with tons of WiFi and probably Bluetooth devices around. In any case, the Switch's controllers fared much better, even though both consoles were on basically the same place. YMMV, I suppose?
