    I can't use a USB for an external as Solvable said. 1 for headset, 1 for joypad

    I wonder if there would be any issues with one of those PS4 USB hub thingies.

    I can see the controller charging being ok, but the Headphone Dongle? That would be questionable. There's no reason it SHOULDN'T work.

    Actually the dongle uses feck all power so would work fine, it would be the joypad I would be worried about :D

    The ds4 will charge off a wall plug unlike the ds3 if you need to free one up.

    Which will be gathering dust before long. Shhhhh

    If the dongle works, the Nacon will work.

    Got mine last night too, looks like a bit of a hassle copying the games across, but it's better than having an external HDD poking out too for a toddler to grab...

    To be fair. 1st impressions of the physical distance from R3 stick to R2 trigger was not great. Might just be small hands.

    Then again after moaning about my TV for hour or so and realising I was watching SD and not HD I feel a bit of a fool :o

    Hahaha - you got it sorted then?

    I actually went through an online guide for setting the TV up with the PS4, it looked much better too. Changing the colours, contrast, brightness, and TV mode which I wouldn't have had much of a clue about.

    I currently use a usb hub that takes the headset receiver and a keyboard, my controller gets its own special little usb slot.

    The Nacon takes some getting used to, that was always going to be the way, minimum of 2 weeks easily. I remember changing profile in Destiny which took about 2 weeks of solid play to feel right, not back to my best but at least it was becoming intuitive, it's all about regaining the muscle memory.

    The main problem I've had so far is the bumper design, they just don't feel right, of course I'll get used to them but I think it's one area where design improvements could be made, also what's with the 2 different size thumbsticks, absolute madness.

    The biggest difficulty I've found so far is the confusion with all the buttons so what I did was to forget about the rear buttons and just play as normal, once you're comfortable with the new layout then you can introduce the rear buttons, again at the start I was just using one mapping on each side. This has worked for me and may help someone else out before they decide it's not for them.

    Edit: Forgot to mention that I also adjusted the triggers so that they reach 100% after only 50% trigger pull.

    I'll be running these settings starting tonight.

    With only 2 ports on the console, 1 taken up with Headphone dongle and other for DS4 socking station, there will have to be a rethink.

    At least Generic doesn't have to worry about swapping the drive out anymore.

    Ye but what's a socking station.

    NSFW comments:
    A guy was talking about how a girl he knew had some illness which took away her spirit and eventually killed her, and within the same post immediately described how this girl was his and his wife's swinging partner and took some extra big dildo with an engine from him one time, with pictures.

    Its how she wanted to be remembered.
