Awesome! Anyone here able to render the below on the DS4?

Here is a very rough draft of it.

 
I wonder what the DS4 sticks are made from? Hopefully not the same material as the DS3. Things would sweat if you didn't pick up the controller for a week or so.
 
Those charge stands are useless now that the PS4 will charge controllers while being off.

What if I don't want my controller(s) dangling from the front of my entertainment rack when charging? I have the official Sony PS3 charging base and would like the same for the PS4. It looks nice and is out of the way.

Can it be preordered, I haven't seen it on GameStop or Amazon yet? I only those cheap Energizer and Nyko ones.

Certainly can in the UK. I have one pre ordered. The coloured controllers can be to.

Nice for us to get something while the US doesn't for a change lol.

This happened to one of mine. The rubber has some kind of absorbing quality, and if you leave it alone it starts "leaking" out what I assume is sweat from your thumbs, or maybe grease from the internal parts. It's not noticeable with regular play because contact rubs it out.

Do the charging docks have to be plugged to the console via USB or do they have a regular wall plug?

They can be plugged to any powered USB source. By default I think they're supposed to be plugged into a USB port (any that can charge), or if you have a USB wall plug, you can use that.

Spoke to a manager at gamestop and he said the dock and vertical stand would be up for preorder "soon" in the states. Oh and that grey mock up of the DS4....hnngggggg

Suspiciously happy if you ask me.

I lol'd.

I would love a dark/midnight blue controller. The current blue looks odd.

Hey Dinjooh, can I see what this one would look like with the whole thing grey? One version with the trackpad grey if possible too! Thanks!

The official charging stand comes with its own AC charger

PS3 had an official charging dock!? Damn I have to search for that. I hate having my controllers doing the musical chairs dance - one gets low on batteries, start it charging, switch to another one. Then leave your PS3 switched on to give it time to charge. Already have my PS4 charging dock preordered at amazon UK

Omg i've always wondered why they do that, I always just assumed my mates had been playing whilst eating chips.
