My Controller Died

My mouse fell off the desk onto the floor while I was tanking the final phase of T9. To this day, my raid leader will not let me forget it.

It isn't almost like op people's controller died and when your in the zone you don't notice a small short message saying it's low

The amount of times my PS4 controller disconnected is insane

No, the number 1 excuse is "lag XD"

At next duty fail I'll say that my wireless keybo...bzzzt.....

Playing with a half dead controller is the only way I can add a sense of danger to healing.

#me tho. ._.

There actually is a problem with the PC interface with the controller where the client can occasional lose the controller, and yes it has killed me in Titan before (and several other instances). It took me weeks to track down the problem and even now sometimes when something updates-or fails to update I have to open device manager and spend an afternoon tracking down what is causing the device manager to blink this time. I wish SE would do something about this as FFXIV is the only game I've ever had this problem with.

When my controller dies, I give it a proper Viking funeral and go buy another one. I keep a USB cable close for a reason, if not use a kb/m entirely. I thought about using a PS4 controller in the past but all I have seen from my buddies is issues using a PS4 controller for FXIV on PC.

[i seem to have misplaced my keyboard]

I use a PS4 controller connected through USB (not playing wireless). My controller gets disconnected from my PC a lot because the wire moves a bit inside the connector... Actually it died on me yesterday while I was standing around and I had to find a new wire to connect it to my PC, and this is a fairly new PS4 controller also, just got it 6 months ago. Unfortunately it happens.
