[@SpawnPoiint]

Which is the BEST feature on this controller? For me it's the adjustable triggers 💙

[@jamiemcdermid9661]

I agree, the triggers alone make me want to buy it.

[@securitybreach5182]

Imo this controller is better than anything scuf has released

[@Marco49511]

The trigger stops are the best feature especially for us COD players

[@SonyEnthusiast]

I agree 👍

[@HowardKat]

For me it's the whole customization via the software on the PS5, can't wait to get my hands on this!

[@zakhinch89]

The replaceable thumb sticks are a massive game changer.

[@o_KingOfKings_o]

Yes no more drift

[@tappersreviews4677]

Hall effect sticks would've been a real game changer since they literally cannot develop drift issues. Replaceable sticks is just a way to get people to keep paying for something that could've and should've been fixed.

[@tappersreviews4677]

@L_O_W_K_E_Y-G Legit criticism is not "crying." This controller has some real inadequacies i.e. literally 50% less battery capacity, no hall sticks, only 2 paddles etc. Telling me the sky is blue is inconsequential to pointing out these flaws.

[@stuporman]

true Japanese business model - make the customer pay for your own engineering failures

[@samirshams4781]

@@tappersreviews4677 I agree with you. I bought the last of us 2 ps4 controller and it had a scratch on it so I returned it for a new one. That new one also had a scratch in it but I was done at that point to return it. Unfortunately This new controller had drift right out of the box and it’s just crazy how this was the case. I have been through 8 ps4 controllers because of drift and this to me is insane because these controllers aren’t cheap. It made me so frustrated that I just moved away from console to pc gaming. The Gulikit King Kong pro 2 is a controller that has magnetic potentiometers/ joysticks that have zero drift and Sony would never move to this type of technology because they want their controllers to break so that you can buy a brand new one that would eventually develop drift again. It is truly sickening.

[@Im_Blitz]

A good point to highlight about the stick modules is they're interchangeable, so you don't have to buy a replacement module for your FIRST exchange. If you're experiencing stick drift on the right stick, you can swap it with the left stick. Most FPS gamers WON'T experience drift on the left stick FIRST due to less wear, so swapping them after you first experience drift on the right stick might save you $20. Additionally, if you start to experience sprinting issues in games like CoD, you can try customizing the left stick settings to fix it. The sensitivity curve & deadzone can help.

[@Chr15Payne]

Yup when CoD allowed me to adjust my dead zones in game I was able to overcome the movement issues I was experiencing by reducing the outer limit, no new controller necessary. This having all those settings at system level means the lifespan of the sticks can be stretched that much longer before needing replacement.

[@Whatdapak]

I have stick drift on the left stick and not on the right for my 4month old ps5 controller. And it’s unplayable. That’s how bad it is now. 🥹

[@alexandermakarenko6161]

I would prefer to buy xbox one new controller every year-two, than this overpriced thing.

[@Im_Blitz]

@@Whatdapak A lot of games let you increase the deadzone in-game. Increasing the left stick deadzone percentage should help. If it's THAT bad, it might need to be well over 10%. Your left stick input threshold will be less responsive, but at least there won't be idle drift.

[@Whatdapak]

@@Im_Blitz can’t even adjust anymore. It’s like you’re pressing the button full left. That’s how bad it is.

[@Xcessive_Evil]

I've only had mine for a few days. Even though I've not delved too deep into customization like stick sensitivity (yet), I absolutely love it. It looks great and feels even better. I feel I more control than I do with the standard which tend to feel slippery. But the biggest selling point for me is that it takes less than a minute to swap out the sticks. Anyone that has experienced stick drift knows your controller is pretty much a paperweight now. That is no longer the case. 8-10 hours of battery life is perfectly fine with me. I do not get to sit and run for that long in one setting anyway. I can easily sit it on my charging dock when I'm away. Even those who can sit for that long. the cord is SUPER long. This is a beautiful design that does make you think given the price tag. But in a relatively short amount of time, it's paying for itself and then some.

[@MrOP66]

I got this controller, and it is so good. It has excellent tactile feel to all buttons, and metal paddles fit my hand really well. The one item which surprised me most was the R2, L2 trigger limiters. It makes the response clearly faster. I use middle position, somehow it is most ergonomic for me.

[@apophenic_]

How much you get yours for?

[@aceospades7]

One improvement I've noticed that the Edge has over the Dualsense is that the area where you rest your pinky has been rounded compared to being more angular/pointy on the original controller. I've seen a few people complain about that on the Dualsense because it would jab into your fingers causing fatigue over time

[@dragonclubracing8669]

It's doesn't effect me as I have have both pinkies pointing out like a true englishmen drinking tea.

[@Alex_Penjamin]

Totally you can see the comparison at 10:13

[@valicknolen5456]

It’s not that deep…

[@Bigjayraider]

Defo a welcome addition. Feels much more comfortable. But the colour and material under the controller is awful for dirt

[@fantassthicc7817]

More like make my hand fall asleep lol no joke, hand would literally fall asleep & I’d need to hold my hand up to regain circulation playing MW3 😂

[@benavid1]

Thank you for mentioning that it fits in the original Dualsense charging dock. Not enough other videos on it mention that.

[@dastreetwatcher]

I've had it for about 6 months now and no complaints so far

[@comitoscomedy8462]

Button reassignment is huge. I changed my buttons for NBA2k23 and now I make way more 3 pters. Super cool

[@hipagriff]

I love that the custom thumb sticks look like previous PS controllers, reminds me of the ps2 and ps3 thumb sticks

[@will_to_chillin1905]

Ive never owned a playstation, so I don’t know a whole lot about their controllers, but the customizable thumb sticks and the carrying case with a hatch for charging alone were really cool features to me, on top of everything else that it has to offer

[@Lazzarus91]

I just now discovered this is out, and I'm jumping on it! It's a good price I think. I've been waiting so long for them to come out with the back button attachments, and this is better! I'm so excited. Buying them now

[@iPeanutJelly]

I love it. Just got mine yesterday and it feels amazing. Has a decent weight to it and the buttons feel amazing to press. The back triggers are nice having two options. Dome triggers for people who use their middle fingers and paddles for people who use their ring fingers. Its something i need to get used to using but i can already see the difference. Its definitely worth the buy if you dont like the xbox layout or the feeling of a scuff.

[@sCred-TV]

The mouse click triggers seems useless, I had a Scuf impact and it was literally like a mouse click. Awesome for a FPS. Can you tell me more about this? Drift problem still here? My dualsense died after 3 months, crazy to pay brand new controller for my PS5 and it last 3 months. I really take care of it..

I usually play shooters without any vibration, and I sit next to my PS5, so I'm actually happy they haven't gone for a really big battery that increases the weight of the controller significantly. I also never play more that 5 hours in one sitting 😆

[@darrelloldfield4302]

Totally agree all this battery life stuff does my head in

[@nicogonzalez5520]

I think the reason why people are frustrated is because like everything, batteries are consumable parts. The more charging cycles you put them through, the shorter every charge is going to be. Right now your five hour gaming session is fine on a brand new battery. But in six months when you have charged your battery every single time you play you’re going to notice the issues with the battery. And for a $200 controller, it seems like an oversight. By comparison, the Xbox elite controller, has a 40 hour battery life. Which means per gaming session, it will undergo less charge cycles than this controller. Which means the battery will last longer. I mean on the regular dual sense controller that I have had for about a year now, it only lasts about seven hours. And that’s with all the extra features turned off. When I had them on, I could barely get 4. Compared to launch, that’s a big drop off

[@MRHardRoller]

@@nicogonzalez5520 Got my Dualsense Edge yesterday. The battery is definitely not a "SeRioUs issue.." But I get your meaning when it comes to the price point I´ve had my dualsense for 2 years, and battery feels the same almost. Comparison, I got Xbox elite controller for my PC, feels like total crap in my hands tbh. Bad quality overall, stickdrfit is CRAZY after just 4 months.. I will take a 5-8 hour battery instead of 40 hours aaaany day of the year if it means I get to use this Edge controller instead :)

@@nicogonzalez5520 realistically. Have you ever had to change the battery on a controller ? I have a 9 year old ps4 controller still running strong. People are grasping at straws.

[@oteroa2]

@Nico Gonzalez a regular lithium ion battery can handle a minimum of 2000 charge cycles. At 4 hours a session that's over 400 DAYS of charge time. If you put that much time into gaming. Go outside and get sunlight.

The battery is only 1050mah, which is basically 2/3 of the regular Dualsense battery's ~1560mah. No problem for me since I play wired half the time anyway. It's definitely worth it because of the swappable thumbsticks (one went crazy on my Dualsense a few weeks ago), the triggers and back paddles, and all of the customizable options. I pre-ordered mine with one extra thumbstick and got them today. Tiny bit of drift out of the box. You can see a bit of blue at the bottom of the deadzone graph and you just adjust until you can't see it. Being able to pull the sticks off makes putting a precision ring on easy. Just played a bit of CoD and it works great.

[@justinmckenzie3318]

I'm surprised that Sony didn't call the backpaddles buttons L4 and R4 instead of LB and RB which sounds to me just like the word "button". Not trying to nitpick, it just seems like a better way of identifying them to me. Also, the charging cord lock is probably the best addition to a controller besides both having replaceable analog sticks and a removable cover for said sticks (would still prefer removable hall effect sticks along with the housing case but that's just me), since I can't count how many times I've ruined charging cords by cords being yanked out of my controller(s) by me or other outside factors. The lock should be a universal addition to more then just the dualsense edge if it works like it's intended to.

[@user-bx9wp3bp5b]

Impressive stuff. It's by far the most advanced controller I've seen. Of course it's expensive, but already owning an AIM ps5 controller, I must say the difference in features is overwhelming in favor of the PS5. The FN buttons do feel like a bit of overkill. They're super nice, but since you can also remap and save up profiles in the PS5 I'd rather have and extra two back-buttons to support all 'right thumb' buttons. As far as the pricing goes, you'd have to compare them within other controllers in the same segment. Looking from that perspective they're not expensive at all. In fact, gaming is a really inexpensive hobby when you think of it. Think about for how many hours you'll be using a controller like this.. All in all, great stuff.

I think it'll be much more worthwhile once there's some 3rd party options for the replaceable parts.

I got the DualSense Edge and it is nice that you can now adjust the headphone volume without pausing the game. The triggers also feel nicer, but that's about it. The sticks and d-pad feel the same. The cross/circle/triangle/square buttons feel somewhat worse and it would be nice if game devs. used the RB/LB as extra buttons. In a few games now you just don't have enough buttons on the regular controller, so it'd be nice to have the option to use the RB/LB for that.

[@nicogonzalez5520]

That would be nice, but that honestly sounds like too much work. They would have to make separate game profiles just for the people who use pro controllers. And then what happens if you don’t want to use the back buttons as extra buttons?

I’m getting 6+ hours of playtime with this controller. Not sure who the hell needs to play longer than that without taking a break… seems like a giant non-issue to me. Worst case scenario is you can plug it in with the 3m braided cord for a while. Or use any of your normal dual sense controller for an hour or so (gasp).

[@JtMax0900]

I might pick one of these up, the main reason I really loved scud for so many years was because of the trigger stops. The new ps5 controller does not yet have trigger stops.

[@edgarcmtz]

Just got mine a few minutes ago. I am a bit disappointed that the trigger stops still have substantial travel even in the shortest setting. Also, I didn’t realize how much of a crutch using 4 paddles has been for me. I caught myself wanting more buttons on the back already. I’ll still keep mine, but I hope they have a 2nd gen already in the works for next year.

[@dannyberry8725]

The fact that there are only 2 back buttons and the triggers are why I am still leaning more towards the Razer Wolverine even though I would lose out on some PS5 functionality. I use my controllers as much, if not more on PC, than I do the PS5 anyway, especially for shooters. The triggers on the Wolverine can be set to where they are about the same as a mouse click. The Wolverine also has 6 extra buttons. 4 on the back of the controller and 2 extra buttons up top where the the bumpers and triggers are. Razer has a patent on these 2 extra buttons so you will not find them on any other controller. I had the DualSense Edge on pre-order but cancelled it.

[@cinquantaoro]

I think the price is warranted because of the ability to change out the whole thumb stick if it ever malfunctions. It’s a controller you basically purchase once and there you go. Sony really thought about it’s gamers on this one. Good job.

[@user-pv2by7nv1x]

Agree on that, saving money over time not buying new controllers.

[@miguelpanganiban8034]

meh not really. hall effect sticks exist which realistically wont get drift for its life cycle. what sony did was turn stick drift into a business instead of actually addressing the issue. i agree that it’s cheaper than getting a new controller but for the price of half a digital edition ps5, id like to think we’re getting hall effects.

[@user-pv2by7nv1x]

@Miguel Panganiban agree as well, but still better option than buying new controller from bad sticks.

[@stephenhathaway269]

[@user-pv2by7nv1x]

@MixerCEO not with the same features lol I need back buttons, I have bought a new ps5 controller and added back buttons myself. Extremerate They didn't last and kept breaking, that was 50$ + 60$= 110$ for a new controller. I can now buy official Sony that won't break for twice the price, and instead of getting a new controller when stick drift is bad (which mine is) and installing back buttons again, which also is a pain to do, I can just spend 20$ to easily swap out sticks. 200$ make sense in my case. This is cheaper than other pro controllers with more features.

Seeing as the glossy case pops off, that gives you the option of wrapping the glossy face if it does end up getting really scratched up, bringing more customization.

[@divinium33]

My main concern having owned many many many pro controllers are the paddels wearing off over time, it’s not replaceable like sticks are, wish there was a way to address it. Not to mention how scummy it is for Sony and MS to not have magnetic sticks to get rid of stick drift as an issue just to get a quick buck off of bad quality sticks, gotta love how they are more of an issue recently allowed to the last 10 years cuz of Nintendo, what a coincidence!!

Considering the competition hasn't been mentioned once in this entire 'review' its fair to assume this is just an ad paid for by Sony.

You can adjust the trigger on pc by using an application and even configure the haptic feedback, can’t remember the name but still better than paying extra.

Battery is actually *33% smaller. Capacity sacrificed for the back buttons, I saw in a teardown. Not an issue for me personally, but I'm just sharing why it doesn't last as long. I don't believe most people genuinely interested in such a controller have battery life high on their priority list anyway, bigger "con" might be only 2 back buttons, which is also fine by me I only need 2.

While I appreciate the fact that they're thinking about stick drift for the player, the easiest way to get around it would be you use a hall effect sensor, I've had to send my Elite series 2 back under warranty for drift and after hearing that what I would get back was a refurbished one and not mine but fixed, that to me was a big question mark as I take great care of my stuff and it still failed, I bought a Gulikit Kingkong 2 and tbh, other than the lack of back paddles and it's lower 100hz polling rate which sometimes bothered me at the start it's great, after seeing this controller, I'm just disappointed that rather than fixing the cause of the issue, they designed an entire hot swap system so they could still find a way to sell you something, elite seems to still have some advantages despite probably being due a refresh such as better hair triggers and in my opinion more versatile rear paddle set up but I could have been persuaded to over look it if Sony did something ground breaking, just feeling like more of the same unfortunately.
