Is The DualSense Edge Worth It??? Honest review 592 days later

[@alexgabriel6415]

Thanks for the review! Just pre-ordered a 30th Anniversary Dualsense Edge and after your review I'm hyped for it. Love the fact you can replace the sticks.

[@GameDadVII]

Dude that's so awesome, I'm happy you were able to get one. If you game a good amount, and you don't want to go through a bunch of dualsenses, being able to swap the sticks is really helpful

[@alexgabriel6415]

@@GameDadVII thanks dude! More of the 30th Anniversary Edges will be available to get again through multiple stores in the UK on the 10th October, if you haven’t got one already?

[@GameDadVII]

@@alexgabriel6415 I was lucky enough to grab one and a portal! When it arrives ill probably sell my original edge as its in great condition still. Thank you though!!

[@alexgabriel6415]

@@GameDadVII I’m glad you got one! I luckily got one the other day through another drop on PlayStation direct. Sold out in seconds!

[@Ltdcloud]

Great review! The back buttons are a game changer, having the ability to jump or roll without leaving the sticks really helps.

[@GameDadVII]

I agree! 😁👍

[@prepetitH]

It’s worth every price the other control that you mentioned they break a lot. I had all of them and they all broke. This one is very good. The PlayStation couture.

[@GameDadVII]

@@prepetitH I was lucky and got one of the 30th anniversary editions Edge's. Can't wait to try this one out

[@prepetitH]

@@GameDadVII I bought mine from Best Buy. That’s why I don’t order the anniversary one because if I ordered, I’m gonna box it and leave it there and sell it for more money down the line.

[@GameDadVII]

@@prepetitH smart! I don't resell often, id probably make more money if I did! 😂

[@Spawny500]

don't be a Sony stooooge. I have controllers I bought in the early 2000s that still work. These days, they make them so they break. Its another revenue stream for Sony.

[@GameDadVII]

@@Spawny500 most products are like that unfortunately. The only answer is to not buy anything. Watch the video I don't don't recommend the controller for everyone

[@quoththekraven5911]

Man you weren't kidding! Solid review, thanks dude!

[@Tapoutime79]

I have a dualsense edge & I like it alot! It feels great to play with. I use the long cable they give you so im never worried about battery life

[@GameDadVII]

@@MegaMattX86 MATT MY DUDE! I've always got a charging cable next to me just in case, it's def a small battery but it's not much of an issue. I've really enjoyed the controller!

[@SnowEternal7]

Great video!

Thank you so much! I learn a little bit with every video

[@CaponeToneTony]

Hello Gamedad, nice edge

[@GameDadVII]

Edging for the homies

[@200IQTheGoat]

Very helpful👍

[@Tapoutime79]

It should be a standard moving forward to have 2 buttons on the back! They can always be utilized!

[@GameDadVII]

@@Tapoutime79 yeah I agree! Good idea

[@rudyengler3584]

It's a great controller my only advice is if you buy one make sure you buy a sillicon cover or if somebody knows where you can order a transparent hardcover for the edge even better

[@curiosityredpill7030]

Why?

[@rudyengler3584]

So the fabric where you hold your pinky and ringfinger does not wear off

[@frank60632]

Quick question, do the trigger stops also affect the the R1 & L1 (smaller bumpers)? Like do they also become quicker to shoot and aim? When I play FPS I switch my aim and shoot to the bumpers

[@GameDadVII]

@@frank60632 good question! The bumpers are not affected, adaptive triggers and adjustable sensitivity is only for the R2 and L2

[@Pro-ce8cq]

I realy want to buy this controller but the issu i noticed in almost every video or review.... the small battry life... & on that point i realy get confused that should i realy buy this controller ? Can you help me to make a faire decision ?

[@GameDadVII]

@@Pro-ce8cq battery is the same as the dualsense. So the more features your game uses, the more it's going to drain. It's never been an issue for me as I charge it on charging dock after every use and if it's a long gaming session I have a cord next to me

[@emmanuelgilmore3944]

Very nice looking controller butt $200 that's pretty steep for controller

[@GameDadVII]

@@emmanuelgilmore3944 if you play a lot, and want the added features it's worth it, if you don't care about the added features much and/or don't play that much then yeah it's a lot. The only additional reason would be to avoid having to buy new DS controllers multiple times due to drift, with this you can replace the sticks

[@LALakers4life34]

How long did it take to get stick drift? If it’s at least one year then I’ll consider getting it I already had 3 that got drifts in months and 1 only a week and got my refund back thank you bro great video

[@GameDadVII]

@@LALakers4life34 I've owned it from day 1 and have not gotten drift. Check the replies, others have given some of their own experiences. And thank you 🤙😁

[@berrymycawkner]

Great for my pc I love it

[@GameDadVII]

@@berrymycawkner same! Have you tried the new app on PC for it?

[@jesu_ss4977]

Im thinking of buying one but idk bc im hearing you still get stick drift and that the stick modules be sold out everywhere

[@GameDadVII]

@@jesu_ss4977 thankfully I haven't gotten drift. But I saw a reply saying that about the availability of the sticks but I see them available right now on PS direct, amazon, best buy.. maybe it's a regional thing. I'm in North America maybe it's outside of NA that it's hard to get?

@@Foxhound_Maisey you are a real one!!

[@VforVendetta13]

Biggest problem is it's start hard to get modules when you get drift. Been a year since Sony has made them.

[@GameDadVII]

@@VforVendetta13 can I ask which country you are in? Ive seen them available on Sony direct, best buy, and Amazon

[@tenbob1973]

Get them modded with TMR Sticks and be done with it.

[@HoundlanderGaming]

My next replacement will be the edge. im on Dualsense number 7 since and i didnt get a PS5 till a year after release 🤣🤣🤣🤣 great review buddy!

[@GameDadVII]

Dude this definitely would have saved you some money!! That was how I first justified it to myself and then I fell in love with the feature, but I cant recommend it to a casual like I would the Nintendo pro controller to a casual.

[@HoundlanderGaming]

@@GameDadVII yeah I know, I convinced myself when my last one broke but then realised it was under warranty so had it replaced. Next one will be the edge for sure 🤣

[@GameDadVII]

@@HoundlanderGaming Maybe it will be even cheaper then or around holiday sales

[@HoundlanderGaming]

@@GameDadVII hopefully!

[@TrabajoConLaRed]

It's too bad this controller does not use Hall Effect triggers and sticks. I play on PC and used to buy official Xbox controllers until the last couple developed drift in less than a year. I bought one of the cheapest options (Game Sir G7) with Hall Effect sticks and it has been great so far, It even has paddles, and it costs about half compared to the official controllers. I've heard that PlayStation controllers have the same drift issues.

[@GameDadVII]

I haven't had drift with the Edge, but others have. Hall would be amazing, should be the standard

[@BelfackeR]

alcohol for the trigger dirt, should not be any problem.

[@Threesixtyci]

Ive heard that analog stick replacement are impossible to find... and stick drift is as common as ever.

[@GameDadVII]

@@Threesixtyci for me the stick drift hasn't been and issue and I've been using it a lot since day 1 but I'm trying to figure out in the replies the counties of the folks who can't find parts because I'm in 🇺🇸 and Amazon, ps direct, and best buy have the parts

[@mustafasoror3839]

Did you have stick drift essue ?

[@GameDadVII]

@@mustafasoror3839 not with the Edge. It's been great for me so far

[@MKDosani]

Why would you buy a new controller when one gets stick drift? It’s easy fix

[@GameDadVII]

@@MKDosani I have had it be easy (simple cleaning) and I've had it be not

[@MKDosani]

@@GameDadVII ok👍

[@VforVendetta13]

The only thing that makes it worth it, but not worth the price is the back buttons. Sony needs to release back buttons for the normal PS5 controllers.

[@d3adxicution774]

Is it worth it yes if for nothing buy it for the enter changed stick module 20 bucks go's along way especially if you have two controllers on the drift you can always depend upon it

[@sneakysnake3344]

i had it for a month and it was not worth it. The battery died fatser than the normal dualsense the back buttons are cool but only really worth it if you play competitive. It felt heavier than the normal dualsense which is also a negative in my book and no hall effect sticks

[@GameDadVII]

@@sneakysnake3344 I wonder if you somehow had a defective one. Because battery isn't great but it feels on par with the dualsense for me. But yeah I can't recommend the $200 to everyone

[@sneakysnake3344]

@@GameDadVII could be i had the edge and a new dualsense at the time the normal one lasted roughly 4 hours. Depends on the game and usage of haptic feedback ofc and the Edge in the same games lasted 3 hours
