PS5 Dualsense Edge 1 Year Later: Is This The Best Pro Controller?

[@iczero1224]

Don’t get this pad, you cannot get the stick modules been out of stock for months , mines is now 200 quid peace of junk and lots of ppl in same boat

[@gg_sheed]

You are right man…sorry I made this video before I found out this huge stock issue.

[@CriticalGreen]

so for anyone out there that had used the edge for sometime do you recommend any third party controller thats way better than this? or this is still the best you can get now? i am planning to get the edge since my dualsense already had the drift problem.

[@JoshTheHraefn5656]

their swappable stick modules are such a scam. Drift wouldn't be a problem if... you know... companies would use hall effect again.

[@gg_sheed]

Yea it’s sad…

[@JoshTheHraefn5656]

@gg_sheed for real, bro. On the bright side, even though it was a year ago I heard gulikit is making hall effect modules for the edge. Fingers crossed, because I love the edge I mean hell I have two of them Haha one is my old backup and my new one is my really custom one I'm decking out with extremerate

[@PhilipCrossley-b1g]

I'm glad you addressed the elephant in the room, The sheer fact that the thumb sticks are made from the same poor pootentiometer's ( yes I spelled it wrong on purpose ), which you need to constantly feed your controller when it wears down is shocking. What's interesting is that I owned a ps2, ps3,ps4 and never had drift problems until PS5. 14 months in and I've gone through two controllers which both have stick drift, with a total of 134 hours of game play in total. I won't buy the edge though, I think il sell up the PS5, before the console falls apart. Sony to me now means low quality, cheap and scammy. I have a strong feeling many others will not be looking at any future iteration of play station.

3 hours?! 😢 That was deal breaker for me

[@yochrisnelson]

Sheed, you’re too damn good at selling me on stuff I don’t need 😅

[@gg_sheed]

lol apologies to your wallet 🙏🏾

[@marv2507]

The black glossy middle piece makes the controller look cheap IMO and having only two back buttons for that price is ridiculous. I got an Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller for $100 on a Black Friday deal and I feel I got a lot more bang for my buck. It has shifted quite a bit of my gaming time from PS5 to PC, as I play only the exclusives on PS5 anymore, switched FFXIV from PS5 to PC for example, those four back paddles are amazing for it. I've seen other people complaining about build quality issues, but I haven't experienced any on my controller so far.

[@gg_sheed]

I see what you mean about the glossy part, doesn’t bother me too much. How do you find switching between the two types of controller layouts? Like how the analog and button placement is different in the ps5 vs Xbox

[@reeseizm]

great review after a year i get about 3 hours of battery life and it’s a bummer ☹️

[@OGTraeski]

i cant even get replacement sticks anywhere its been a whole year and now i got stick drift

[@gg_sheed]

Insane yea I should’ve mentioned this in the video. I didn’t realize they’ve been sold out for so long

[@blanknaruto1127]

They have it in stock now

[@funtimeben]

Love the channel! Down to earth and honest reviews. Subscribed!

[@pattttttttt]

How can u say it's almost perfect. When the fact is this still goes into stick drift then have to pay an extra £24 for em stick replacements . Pathetic

[@gg_sheed]

That’s why it’s almost…I mean being able to swap the stick replacement is definitely wayyyy better than having to buy a new controller.

[@pattttttttt]

@@gg_sheed garbage who wants to pay more for something that won't even work properly. Sony is dieing. Won't even upgrade any more. I stick to switch ²

[@zaakirkhan7055]

​@@pattttttttt would you rather buy a whole new controller instead of replacing the stick module?

[@pattttttttt]

@@zaakirkhan7055 ready had bought new controller without the stick drift FFS. really get a grip

[@jas6853]

For $200 it should have 4 back paddles not just 2

[@fostersian3355]

Great review!

[@gg_sheed]

Thank you!

[@ShoppinBagLoso]

My right back paddle stop working after only 6 months of using it only for Warzone. Luckily it came with a year warranty and they replaced it.

[@gg_sheed]

Same thing happened to me recently actually, I took it apart myself and was able to fix it luckily

[@jasephase2k933]

Is a controller what will knock the. Edge out of existence is not avaiable until mid september the edge is a marketing tactic to get more purchases on modules why the stick drift issue wasnt resolved in the first place

[@gg_sheed]

precisely.. I actually have a follow up video on this exact point lol

[@jasephase2k933]

@@gg_sheed phantom halleffects is due mid september has a special device when useing github calibration tool

[@thesilverskulll869]

Cant find modules for it olmost did buy its 💩 i pass on this one

[@gg_sheed]

Yea Sony is messing up for not keeping these in stock

[@antp7603]

Same Stck drift issues my 3rd time changing these and out of stock at the moment smh

[@gg_sheed]

Damn I just checked too my bad this is wild!!! Apparently they’ve been sold out in the US for a minute

[@Terax98]

bro your gesture mixed with the video quality are ok, but please buy a quality proof microphone

[@gg_sheed]

Does it sound that bad? I just switched to a rode shotgun mic. How does this one sound?

[@lamontlong2181]

Now here's the absolute truth about the ps5 dualsense edge controller, cause he might be getting paid.... first of all DO NOT PURCHASE IT FROM GAMESTOP😢 the stick drift will happen on cod and 2k and you will not be able to get replacement sticks anywhere, they discontinued this controller because obviously it's defective, only a year out and no store has them in stocks and they don't wanna honor any warranty! In store or online. They have a new controller and they want you to shell out are you ready??? 274 but for this one. So if I'm going through this much hassle for this controller, imagine spending 274?? Sorry for the paragraph, but the truth needs to be heard!

[@gg_sheed]

I’m not paid for this! I bought the controller myself 1 year ago directly from Sonys website. But damn sorry you had a bad experience. GameStop can be weird sometimes

[@APEXGuerilla]

Hilarious price

[@TheHolyGoofs]

The best in the business!! 💯🫡

[@GAMERSCAULDRON]

Sony should give you a commission cuz I been umming and aring about getting one and now I know I'm getting one so thanks for your review.

[@gg_sheed]

Glad I could help!
