DS4 keeps what worked, improves what needed fixing

The DS4 controller improves on everything that was flawed about the ps3 controller, while keeping the overall feel. The weight and build quality is a noticeable improvement, and the fit is much better for adult gamers compared to the smaller ds3. Extended game sessions are very comfortable, and the controller is responsive and precise in all game types. The battery life is much shorter (8 hours, compared to 24+), but regular charging keeps this from being a problem. Under heavy use, the rubber coating will start to wear off the thumbsticks, but this is not a serious problem and doesn't affect usability.
