How to fix PS4 controller jitters

18 9 月, 2021 Jaz Brown 0

One relatively common issue with PS4 DualShock controllers seems to be the jitters (thankfully, this doesn’t appear to affect the PS5 DualSense). It’s as if your controller has had too many cups of coffee. If you are experiencing this issue, you will find that input from your sticks (usually the left) will start to stutter. When you push the stick forward, instead of seeing smooth movement on the screen, you’ll see a movement that starts and stops with no rhyme or reason. Have no fear. Before you toss that dual-stick in the trash and buy another of the best PS4 controllers out there, let’s take a look at what you can try to remedy your problem.

Should you install an SSD in your PlayStation 4?

21 11 月, 2020 Jaz Brown 0

Best answer: If you are looking for more storage and stability, despite the slightly higher price, an SSD is your best bet. Not only does an SSD provide the same storage capabilities of other drives, but they’ll help load your games faster, giving you an even better experience while you play.

Bigger and faster: 1TB WD Blue SSD ($105 at Amazon)

SSD drives offer speed, stability, and storage in your PS4

In general, a solid state drive (SSD) is much faster than your normal drives. Mechanical drives, like HDDs, have moving parts whereas an SSD does not. The easiest way to think of it is that an SSD is like a larger memory stick. In recent years, SSD’s have become far more affordable than they have been in the pas. Whether it be an external hard drive or a SSD, giving yourself more space for games is always a plus.

But should you put an SSD in your PS4? A few years ago I probably would have said that there were better ways to spend your money. Recently, however, SSD prices have fa…
