DualShock 4 controller catches fire during gameplay
Redditor Chino1130 posted an image of his controller, saying that it caught fire while he was playing GTA Online this morning.
From the look of it, it appears that the lithium ion battery in the controller malfunctioned and burned the plastic cover that separates it from the logic board.
According to Chino1130, the battery itself is the original in the controller, not an aftermarket one. This is the first time we’ve heard a DualShock 4 controller catching fire.

It's just a once in lifetime thing happening, I am sure there more to the story then is actually explained.

Not the first product that has a lithium battery in it that catches fire, and probably not the last. Hopefully it was something the user did, like overcharge the battery or used it for too long and it overheated. I don't want my PS4 controller catching fire after this!

1989lolohnoeszszAlpina Should have gone with Xbox ;) How do people even use Playstation controllers? they must have small hands.
I have been on Xbox for almost 6 years and I have both consoles and tbh the PS4 has a much better controller.
How the hell is it much better? They pretty much copied the xbox controller but just made it worse.
The controller fits better and is a lot comfier. I don't mind the sticks I also love the triggers.

There is always one model which isn't completely perfect. This has happened countless times over the years with various devices.
