How strong are the analogue sticks on newer models of the DS4?

I'm not sure, but I'm getting that controller in the mail soon. I'm excited because I'm someone that foolishly spends money.
Can you change the color of the light on the controller, though? I don't like that particular shade of blue.
THEY ARE FUCKING INVINCIBLE

I own the original DS4 controllers and the rubber has worn out completely on two of them.
Got the new ones and they are perfectly fine

my launch DS4 right thumbstick *started* ripping because I was palm-grinding it trying to escape from gorecyclopes in Dragon's Dogma (plugged it into my ps3)
but i stopped doing that and both of my DS4s have been fine ever since
I'm honestly impressed with the durability of the PS4 controller. I autismed on it a couple times and its still working

On the PC you can change color, saturation, brightness and everything in between, as well as designating colors for different modes such as low battery, charging, fully charged, etc
On the PS4 you can't

Not sure, I have a release day controller but I covered the analogs with a kontrolFreek-like thingy that cost 3€ so they might be as good as new.
Had mine for about 4 months and still no tearing, pretty much brand new. I've been playing Rocket League, GTA V, and Advanced Warfare so I definitely put them under some stress.
I've had mine since June. The sticks are fine. I accidently knocked mine off my desk twice which is something that never usually happens to me. So the touch pad feels a little bit funky and loose but otherwise it all works fine.

where can I get that controller
the rubber comes off if you even look at it
Bought a used ps4/controller. Controller already had cuts in the rubber when I got it. After a few weeks of use, its starting to slide off.
Its teetering dangerously close to "here's your controller, bro" territory.
My Xbone controller, on the other hand, is fucking sex. If only MS could make consoles as good as they make controllers.

I own 4 DS4s, 1 is a launch model, 1 is a black one purchased in may of 2014 and 2 are blue and white models purchased in november 2014. The rubber on the blue and white ones does feel slightly different but honestly I've had no issues with the analog stick rubber on any of them. I've had the PS4 for ~2 years and have played it a lot.
Depends on the person.
My bro blows through DS4 controllers like crazy. He's on his 3rd controller. Both his rubbers wore off. Mine are still in tact without a trace of wear. Same launch DS4.

I've had my ps4 for a year now moderate play. Both controllers are absolutely fine. But my friend bought a ps4 like three months after I did and all four of his controllers have ducked up worn off rubber on the sticks. He has loads of people over a lot and we play a shithole of fifa.
But yeah, both of my controllers are perfect so far, a year and counting.
>people buying new controllers when the rubber starts to wear off
Just slap some cheap thumb grips on and the controller is good as new. Won't cost you much more than a can of coke.

I think some people just play more rough than others
I platinumed Bloodborne on my controller and there is no peeling rubber.

I wanna see that with nintendo also it skips the sixaxsis
Rubber durability depends on how big your hands are.
If theyre large enough to stay flat on the tops of the sticks, they last pretty long.
People that have smaller/medium hands often push the stick from the sides, causing them to wear out FAST. Especially if you bring fingernails into the equation.

It also skips the dual analog controller, which came before the dualshock, and had concave sticks.
