Like, the port itself is placed in such a way that when you naturally leave a controller to rest, it's angled downwards. This is so dumb.

Best to use those charging stations where you just sit the controller on it. All the cables i use to charge it never work with controller port for very long.

Don't recall this

This. I have no clue what this topic is referring to. My controllers never have to bend the cord.

Mine hasn't bent either and I've had mine for around 5 years.

It doesnt really bend the cord if it comes up from below the controller, still a weird placement choice though. Also should have updated it with a USB-C version, micro USB is complete dogshit


Also why does gamefaqs always rotate the images, wtf

the problem i have with it is if you plug it in and put it down with the sticks facing up, it puts pressure directly on the plug and causes enough stress to it over time that the connectors don't line up properly.

rendering the charging port useless

I mean, to me that's bending. Though I use a flat cord and it's more prominent in that.

Thankfully those charging station things are pretty cheap

Its only really a problem if you have a micro-USB cable with a larger/longer connector. In my experience the port on the controller doesnt get damaged but the cable connector might.

The USB ports on the original PS4 are the more egregious design flaw IMO.
