          the usb-c connector breaks after a while. don't play with it wired

          Mine currently is disconnecting from my PC a couple seconds after it connects. Wired or wireless
          Any ideas?

          if you're playing it wired, my guess is that your usb-c is close to snapping so it keeps disconnecting. remove the controller from your devices, connect it via bluetooth only (make sure it's like you're adding the controller for the first time) and i think it should work. if it doesn't, there might be a problem with the controller itself. try syncing it to another computer and see if it happens there as well

            Correct. It worked fine in 1996 and it still works fine now. You aren't going to be running laps around your living room while playing a game and you don't need to flailing the controller around even if you decide to use motion controls. Playing wired feels no different than playing wireless.

      The touchpad is really useful on PC where you can bind it however you want rather than being restricted by developers that can't see it as anything more than a start and select button. I would gladly sacrifice wireless for the extra inputs I get from the track pad. However, it is also worth noting that the Steam controller has two track pads and lasts 10 times longer, so this is a Sony issue rather than a track pad issue.
