I have never had this issue on PS4, but my Xbox One X controller started drifting not all that long after getting it and I tried to repair it myself, only to fuck it up worse.

It is a little tricky to get it set up the first time. I can switch it from PC <> PS4 <> Xbox all wirelessly. I tried it once with the Switch and it wasn't that great, it's implementation is different from the others and you have to plug it in right at first then it will go to wireless. The comment about the no touchpad hasn't been an issue at all, just makes you realize you have a touchpad that is nothing but a button.

I had stick drift on my original Xbox one controller and fixed it by replacing the analog sensor for the one of the thumb sticks. I had to replace the other a few months later. Then I one of the bumpers break and unfortunately aftermarket bumpers aren't as good as the sensors so it was a little stiff. Ended up trading it in with my OG Xbox One for a One X. Replacement sensors are around $5 and require a little soldering during the replacement process but it beats paying $60 for a new controller. Maybe not worth the time if you don't like tinkering with things. The replacement process looks similar for PlayStation controllers.

- Mark Cerny is once again the Lead System Architect.
- 8 core AMD 7nm Zen 2 based on third generation Ryzen.
- Ray-tracing support with custom AMD Navi GPU.
- Custom AMD unit for 3D Audio, also aided by ray-tracing, a big upgrade.
- Extremely fast high-end custom SSD storage faster than any solution currently available for PC:
Spider-Man load times on PS4 Pro: 15 seconds → 0.8 seconds on next-gen PlayStation. - Technically supports 8K but Cerny demoed Spider-Man load speed improvements on a 4K screen.
- New Virtual Reality platform strongly hinted at but also supports current PSVR (meaning millions of VR users 'day one').
- Death Stranding might be a cross-gen title (speculation in article based on Cerny reply).
- Physical Media.
- Backwards Compatible with at least PS4.
- Four years in development so far.
- 2020.
- This is all official information! Straight from Mark Cerny. Key aspects were demoed to Wired on next-gen hardware.
So sounds pretty cool, the load time changes are insane. Still end of the day its basically like upgrading your PC which is good.
I was planning on upgrading my PC for Cyberpunk 2077 but now I'm not sure, I wonder what the delta will be between a PS5 and a top of the line PC.

Another Ps4 hardware question. I'm looking for some type of Mic attachment that is similar to the Xbox One setup. The Xbox attachment allows you to mute/adjust volume without taking your hands off the controller. The Steel Series headset I currently have is pretty nice, but the mute button is behind the left earcup, which is annoying to use while playing. I'd use my Xbox controller with the old ps4 adapter I have, but it doesn't work well with Let It Die.

If you take Samsung 8K TVs as what they're aiming for then that means upscaling 4K to 8K and not much beyond that. Which makes sense given how hard it will be to hit and maintain hardware that can hit 4K/60FPS HDR for 5 years. Support for 8K is limited to 30FPS and a very small amount of codecs right now and that isn't going to change before a PS5 hits the market.
Although if they have a PS5 Pro that can play 8K Blurays or something people that invested in the current generation are going to WTF.

I wouldn't worry about it. 8k is a gimmick unless you're less than 3 feet or so away from the display, which you won't be doing with standard TV sizes these days anyway. 4K is already pointless for the average viewer as they're not close enough for that, let alone 8k.
The real nice thing that HDMI 2.1 does for consoles is bringing high refresh 4k and async.

Yeah 8k doesn't matter at all right now either. I would be interested to hear if they will support 4:4:4 with 12-bit color which would be a huge improvement over what we have today when it comes to HDR (Need Dolby Vision to support that request) and that would pass (At 4k60) 24.06gb obviously requiring HMDI 2.1 and a new TV, but my body is ready. I would prefer 12-Bit 4:4:4 with Dolby Vision Support on 4k60 over anything else.
