so, I bought a regular ole Sony PlayStation 4 controller a few days ago ($70... for just the controller and nothing else... which is more than I've spent on any single consumer electronic in months) and I think I've already broken the charging port.
fucking hate micro USB so much.
either that or - since it did not come with "the included USB cable" described in the PS4 manual - all 5 or 6 of the micro USB cables I found lying around are bad.
