It’s cause microUSB is not a very durable port. I’ll be glad when it’s phased out completely in favor of USB-Cnot gonna lie, the main reasons i copped were because of the joystick layout and the wired option (because ds4 usbs are trash even on the gen 2 controllers). ive gone thru 5 ds4s, including the launch one with the shytty rubber and batteries. just got the vantage today and it was well worth it in my opinion, if i dont want to keep replacing controllers
