[@jadedj5385]

Got it day one. Many action games use dpad up to use heals or items and jump buttons on X. Moving these to rear paddles feels incredible and not having to go to the config screen every time makes this a must for MMOS, fighting games, action games, and shooters. the ability to reduce the distance necessary for triggers to press down is great for fighting games and shooters specifically.

[@itdobesuckin]

only” issue” i’ve had with it, is the battery life. but it was noted before it even released that it wasn’t going to be a long as the standard controller. and i mainly play at a desk with a monitor so when it does get low, i just plug it in. setting all the profiles was easy and switching between them for different games even easier. if you spend the day working with the stick deadzones and changing them to best work with your fps games of choice, it’s absolutely worth the $200 price tag imo

Yeah he didn’t really name any major cons I don’t see why you shouldn’t buy it

[@joshw9424]

I bought one because my Dualsense was starting to drift so I needed to replace it anyway. I've been playing Dead Space with the Dualsense Edge and I really like the adjustable trigger stops in addition to the rear buttons. Also, I should mention that I frequently experience arthritic pain or something in my hands/fingers, so being able to customize and swap out all the controls provides me with actual physical comfort (e.g., repeatedly pressing in L3/R3 with my thumbs is painful). The battery life is a bummer but not a dealbreaker for me. For all these reasons, I think the Dualsense Edge was worth $200 to me. But I agree that I'd hesitate in recommending it to any/everybody. I think a person should buy it only if they have a clear reason/purpose. But for me an avid gamer I'm glad to have it.

[@Carlisho]

Speaking of pressing L3/R3 as soon as I saw they changed sprint from L1 to L3 on Dead Space remake I immediately jumped on the menu to see if they had different mappings cause I was having none of that 😂, thankfully they had the old Dead Space 1 and 2 mappings available

If backpedals were the norm then developers would take advantage of them more often when making video games which would be awesome. Having the capacitive thumbsticks on the steam deck is also awesome but that's a different thing.

[@CH33KYFR3AKY]

Being able to change the stick curves and dead zones is honestly one of my favorite features even if i dont use it much. The reason I say that is because games on consoles dont have a set stick rate like pc games do. On pc you can look around and make it feel the same across all games, aside from the few that force accelleration. On console games can feel vastly different when aiming due to differing curves across games and with the curve options you can choose, you can help minimize the wonky feel of some games to improve your experience. Now if sony could add a sensitivity option somehow that would be fantastic for games like the Metro Redux collection where your sensitivity is so slow i wonder if my controller was dipped in syrup 😆

[@Life-qo2uj]

Yea itd be cool but im pretty sure it would only work on newer games built to read it, as none of the current or older games have been built to read higher sensitivity from the controller itself. They have just been built to respond differently to the same sensitivity that the controller has

[@cappzap]

Yeah but basically every single shooter game has in-game options to customize these settings so having the option to in ps settings is fairly redundant

Well worth every penny for me. As he said, it feels like a $200 controller! I think the battery life is griped harder than it should be. I don't get to sit for 6-10 straight as is and the high quality braided cable is VERY long. I've not delved into the stick curves and dead zone yet, but I will although that was not a buying point for me. The remapping and the changing of analog sticks is what sold me. Stick drift is inevitable. Could be a month-could be a year. I love the idea of greatly extending the life of my controller with a change that maybe takes 30 seconds. This was long overdue.

There are so many better ways to avoid stick drift. 1. Buy a steam controller. Trackpads don't get drift. 2. Don't abuse your controllers. all joystick get drift eventually but unless your buying joycons you can get 3 years out of a controller before it the sticks get loose. And you say you like being able to remape the controller? Bro you should have brought a PC. The games are dirt cheap and you can remap the controlls super easily. Making you buy a $200 controller before you can remap the buttons is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Hell even Nintendo lets you remap the controller like wtf I fell like you got scammed.

[@Xcessive_Evil]

@@bland9876I have no interest in steam controllers and I don't even find them aesthetically pleasing. I do not know what your definition of abuse is, but abusing anything I spend money on is what I don't do, nor do I spend it on joycons. Saying what you can get out of a controller isn't even factual. It's hit or miss and you even acknowledge that it's inevitable. taking 30 seconds to replace a stick and greatly extending the life of a purchase is a no brainer. So, what do I need a PC for when I'm talking about a PS product? Thanks for the "concern"? But, I think I got it covered.

[@imcnblu]

I'm waiting a little bit before I buy it. But, the reason I'm waiting is because of the _one_ feature it's missing, which would make it a guaranteed purchase. The thumbstick tension is too soft. I'm waiting for Evil Controllers to offer higher tension thumbstick modules for this, like they did with the Astro C40 controller. More than any other feature, higher tension thumbsticks are the most important thing on a "pro" style controller. I know there's things like KontrolFreek precision rings, but I don't like them. They don't work as well as they claim. The added tension really only kicks in when there's only about 20% left on the stick's range of motion.

[@JohnnyJitsu11]

I play Apex Legends with it, I like it for the aiming and shooting buttons shorter squeeze. Also, the additional speed it allows me to turn around. Felt like I was getting my hand cramped at the beginning adjusting to the new controller. But now, it’s awesome! I love it! For a shooter game of course! The battery drained quicker but the long cable counters it. Yeah, it’s heavier and does feel like an expensive controller. I have 8 other PS5 controllers and this one takes the cake.

Also hearing ppl already going through 3 or 4 controllers is really the reason I wanted to get the edge. So I feel a bit better. I’m curious if you tried to get replacements after your new controllers started drifting again? Or it ultimately didn’t even matter considering how many you’ve gone through?

[@DVRKSTXR]

Battery life could definitely be better. Especially, after having had my Xbox Elite Series 2 for over a year now *(I have easily squeezed 40 hours out of it across 4-6 days multiple times on a single charge).* However, I've managed to push my DualSense Edge to 7-8 hours MAX *(Haptic Feedback + Adaptive Triggers MAXED & Light Bar on Dim).* Not the most desirable end result for a $200 controller, but definitely not a deal breaker for me. It delivers in just about every aspect that I expected it to and it is the controller that I've been dreaming about Sony making since 2019. I love it. It's close to perfect for me. 9/10

Thank you for this video as I did not know about the opening in the back that can be used for charging. I enjoy mine, I just received it 2 days ago. What I like the most is the back paddles because I primarily play GT7 and this is great for shifting. With the way I am going through remotes due to stick drift and stick replacements, it's well worth the investment. A replacement stick for one of these through Sony is only $19.99 and takes less than 10 seconds to replace it. I will need to invest more time into the stick sensitivity/ deadzone to see how this can be a useful tool in GT7. What I also enjoyed was hat it was instantly recognizable once you plugged it in and zero difficulty to pair it/set it up.

It looks good, even glossy black part looks better in the dark than old controller. I’m using it wired, haven’t tried without it. Set to use USB, not bluetooth. It’s fast of course. Still crazy expensive. Forgot to say Fn+ arrows (to control headphone volume) has been very useful.

[@ShadowFlame420]

title is a bit misleading, he didnt have much negative to say. my opinion after using it a bit is that it’s the best pro controller for the ps5. my main reason for buying was both my dualsense controllers had mad stick drift so i figured in the long run the dualsense edge will be cheaper than continually buying new controllers, all the other stuff the edge comes with are bonuses (some of them pretty huge). battery isnt a huge issue because the cord it comes with is very long & very durable, and you can always turn down the haptics and brightness and you’ll barely notice any sacrifice. idc if u buy or not, just don’t believe the haters

[@andrewengland971]

I have this and absolutely love it. It’s fire. I also set the joystick to quick response. For driving in gta online it’s fire. Can turn so tight

[@DJ_LOONIE]

I bought the controller day 1 and I can say that it doesn't really feel like a 200 hundred dollar controller but I love it so much, I've improve so much in my competitive games and the fact that I can swap profiles anytime on any game with names I customized is so dope and convenient. Plus the fact I can easily change my game chat and party chat so easily now is something I've been in dire need of, so I would definitely say its worth it but the price doesn't really sit well with me

[@bigstevedzn2353]

Are you smoking dicks. It’s heavy as shit and feels like a 200 dollar controller for sure. The the only thing that doesn’t feel like a 200 dollar controller is the thumb stick cap replacements. The Xbox elite has magnetic thumb caps so it would of been nice rather than plastic clicks. People want a “pro” controller but get cheap as fuck it’s very annoying.

[@DJ_LOONIE]

@@bigstevedzn2353 first off it’s not that serious, secondly it’s heavier yes but it you’re over exaggerating the weight. Now tell me how this feels like a $200 controller cause to me it feels like a $180-$170 controller.

[@bigstevedzn2353]

@@DJ_LOONIE come on now. You're getting into semantics now lol. 20 dollars in today's world is almost a chic fila meal. To me, anywhere under 200 dollars is criminally underpriced. Scuf still has the audacity to charge 200+ for their shitty controllers. So I'd say the market price is fair. People just get cheap when it comes to shit like this. They want the quality and 1st party support, but they don't want the price point.

[@bigstevedzn2353]

@@DJ_LOONIE and let me add as well. This is the ONLY "pro" controller on the market that offers financing through credit. That klarna service allows you to do 4 50-dollar payments, just as long as you don't have a 500 credit score or worse.

[@DJ_LOONIE]

@@bigstevedzn2353idk why you talk like as if I had a problem with the price, if I did I wouldn’t have preordered it back in October, or I would’ve cancelled it. I’m just saying the controller doesn’t feel like a $200 controller. It’s not that hard to get . Now can you answer my question or are we done here?

[@mymusicaljesus]

Agree with every point. It definitely feels great and like a premium device. My only big gripe is that I would have really enjoyed two more back buttons. I've been playing Horizon Forbidden West and have too many other buttons that I want to map to it (mainly the directional buttons). It would be so much easier to have the option to map the up, down, left, and right buttons to 4 back buttons, since those are the most difficult buttons to use when you're diving around and trying to handle a bunch of machines. You have to take your thumb off the left joystick to scroll through and use potions and heal yourself, which is just not an easy thing to do in the middle of a chaotic fight. Still though, I really like this controller.

[@Console-COD]

Great video again mate, thanks 😃👍

[@vitorfernandes651]

I agree. I’ll wait until they come out with a better battery and Hal effect sticks

[@flipros6473]

I actually like the case. I bought the dualsense edge because I needed a new controller after my standard ones fell off my desk as it was charging and broke. With the case it is protected from falls while charging, because you are able to charge the controller in the case! Love that case feature lol

[@nesssaja]

I am so satisfied with this controller! Love the case and the the paddles on the back. Also the round sticks you swap feels better imo. And since I had 3 ps4 controllers that had stick drift I felt it was just a matter of time until my ps5 controller got it. So to be able to swap sticks was the biggest selling point for me. Very nice controller from Sony!!

[@lord_gero5961]

I have a question. I really like this controller and the changeable sticks are cool but what is holding me back is that as time goes by and you use the controller the battery life is going to get worse and there’s going to be a point in which you’re gonna have to buy another controller because the battery has completely drained

[@neomaxmlc]

Its not that hard to replace the batteries in these controllers.

[@richardtorres2606]

I love this controller the battery life doesn’t matter to me because I always keep it plugged in and I love the cord that it comes with a 9 foot braided cord The dead zone settings is one of my favorites characteristic of this controller makes gameing so much fun I recommend this controller worth the money asked for it

[@rosie684]

Best thing about the Xbox Elite V2 is the case IS a charger. Drop the controller in, zip it up, and away it chargers. Wish that had the same feature

[@XeqtrM1]

I did try this controller for a bit but I prefer the victrix pro bfg over Dual Sense Edge I have both though if I want to play games were it requires instant triggers I use victrix if not I use the Edge so it depends what I'm playing both has cases include so it's nice :)

[@AliFOJ5]

I got mine two days ago and it is an amazing controller. The best part of it is how good it feels in your hands like a real premium quality pro controller. Also I've not messed with a the settings too deep but I did set the triggers to fast action for playing COD MW2 for better response time. This is absolutely a direct competitor to Xbox Elite controller which is also really good. The batter is kinda slow but that depends on how long you play on daily basis but the braided cable inside is actually long and makes things much easier for charging.

[@iqadwolf2554]

You set the triggers to fast action what do you mean by that bro ? I wanna know what this controller do to make me better at wz and mw2 because I only play this two games

[@benallerson2317]

I’ve had an Astro c40 for warzone and bought this release day. The advantage with the edge is as you move the trigger adjusters it automatically calibrates so when you pull the trigger it’s max. The Astro was first pro controller I had and when adjusting the triggers movement I found when driving a car in warzone it wouldn’t go anywhere and had to map the trigger max input to account for shorter travel on a laptop. This has 4 profiles instead of two and to change between so easy. The only thing I would say is now they’ve got rid of slide cancel in mw2 and warzone 2 I use paddles for armour and reload.

[@whoamarcelus]

But does it have features like a strike pack🤔

[@AliFOJ5]

@@iqadwolf2554 There is customisation options for the analog sticks. You can set them from the options as precise or quick that helps with response time in FPS shooter games.

[@Seigmoraig1]

I'd consider buying this just because I'm having so much drift problems with the sticks. 3 seperate controllers have gone to shit on me. Compared to the Switch Pro (not joycons) that is still going strong since I got it at release

[@howardhankins6216]

I already pre-order 4 of those controller's and I love it

[@1nine8two39]

Day 1 and I love it. Battery life has been fine for me and when it dies it’s pretty easy to charge and play

[@milanesaformiles]

Worth it. I love it! It comes with a long ass cord for hassle free charging. Battery life isn't a deal breaker for me. Great video🤜🏼

[@Alex-hl1dw]

I just want them to release more colors first. Big fan of the regular purple dualsense so I'd like to see that first, especially without the glossy black.

[@bigstevedzn2353]

I highly doubt it. I find it pretty strange that it didn’t ship with multiple colors considering they hit D brand with a lawsuit and then came out with their own colored panels for the ps5. All the alternate colors for the ps5 controller and panels are ugly as shit tho. The white is the best color.

[@Mo-xj8sx]

@@bigstevedzn2353 purple is better

[@Chrisxanflo]

The first thing I did was play doom eternal on nightmare, Idk if its a placebo effect but I was significantly better at moving around, sighting, aiming, and sweaty hands only made the controller more grippy, Im satisfied

[@mokylarry1525]

Those smaller back buttons are key…. I actually like the flat ones better at first but playing madden I kept accidentally hitting them when switched shorter back buttons better for accidents. For 200 definitely not worth it but it is a step up from the regular controller. I suggest wait til it is cheaper

[@wxl2562]

Still waiting for them to come in stock in my city. Everywhere sold out immediately but hoping I can pick one up for my birthday which is in a few days. My original PS5 controller that came with the console got stick drift BAD after a year, came right out of nowhere. On my second controller, it's got very, very minor drift, it's barely a problem and comes and goes, been a year too, so I'm really hoping on getting one of these things for the sake of replaceable joy sticks. One year seems to be the magic number when it comes to drift with Dualsense 5 controllers, so I would rather only paying $50 tops every year on some new sticks than have to pay $100 on a brand new controller. Plus the bonus features are there which is neat and I can play around with.

[@Frenchyy13]

Definitely waiting for a special edition or a midnight black version.

[@Zirus_Blackheart]

One good thing about the removable stick modules is that i'm hoping we'll get ones in the future that offer stronger tension :-)

They could have just included tension modifiers like a real pro controller should but this was a half ass job.

[@justinmckenzie3318]

I know I am among those gamers that you listed who would just reasign the back buttons and (maybe) assign different game genre profiles (dont have the time nor the patience for those kinds of setups). They could later on release a external battery pack to help extend the life of the edges battery but that might do more harm then good now that I think about it if it heats up the inside of the controller for extended periods of time. But maybe I'm over thinking things since other mobile devices (ie: phones, tablets, laptops, portable consoles, and etc) have long since been able to make use of portable batteries/bricks, so why shouldn't the edge be able to do so as well. 🤔

[@Bloozclooz007]

As someone who’s gone through two controllers in just 2 years of owning a ps5 from stick drift due to the fact that I use R3 to jump in shooter games (MW2 and Destiny 2) I will for sure buy this in the near future as for in the long run it’ll be worth it since I can just change the thumb sticks which is really convenient.

[@Mo-xj8sx]

I went through a controller in like a month in a half so this is gonna save me some money. I crouch/slide with R3

[@mattymo56]

If you play FPS those stick customization are awesome

[@christianramos2619]

I love this controller, I agree with both pros and cons. However I do like how I can change the deadzones of the L2 R2. Even though it’s not much of a difference. But I use the controller a lot when it comes to playing apex and I notice how I can do a lot more then I use to when using a regular controller

[@gabrielmiramontes5879]

How does changing the deadzone effect the L2 R2? Also, have you switch any buttons up yet like assign jump to a back paddle instead of X so that you can keep you finger on the analog ? Thanks mate.

[@christianramos2619]

@@gabrielmiramontes5879 hey, so it’s kinda difficult for me to explain that L2 R2 thing. Let me start by saying yes I do have x and r3 as my paddles. R3 would be considered my slide and crouch but on my left paddle and jump on my right. It makes a huge difference, I only need to use my index finger just for square and triangle only. Only problem was that i tend to accidentally let go of the L2 button because I’m always crouching. However, that’s where the deadzones of the L2 and R2 come to play. On the back of the controller we have those adaptive trigger settings of course I have it on the middle for the L2 but I still had trouble with it. So I went into the settings on the PlayStation and changed my L2 deadzone to 74. And after that it just plays perfectly to me

My biggest issue has been simply being able to buy on of these controller. These things were sold out in pretty much every store in Canada on launch day. All online inventory was exhausted immediately. My only option was eBay with a huge markup. So, after waiting nearly a year to buy any sort of pro controller, wanting Sony's official version, and waiting to see if any stock becomes available, I got fed up and bought a Scuf.

[@yp5387]

BestBuy has tons of it. In GTA atlease

[@Shinobi33]

An additional thumbstick module was included originally. Hence the additional $20 more in the price from $180 to $200. Then due to rapid inflation Sony decided to remove that additional module but still keep the price at $200.

[@ice2163]

One issue I have with the controller is that both function buttons show the same ui on screen. The right fn should only show the volume controls and the left should only show the profiles. What lunatic would be changing profiles when their right thumb is already on the right fn key.

[@iqadwolf2554]

It has to be like that bro, because when you get a stick drift then change, the new one should function just like a previous one. My English is not that good I hope you understand what I mean
