    I understand why everyone upset your paying a hefty amount for a controller with 5-7 hours battery life but itโ€™s really not that serious in my eyes. We have chargers cords that go 17ft+ for $7+, just keep it chargedโ€ฆbut i guess if your the type of person who jumps up and down or moves their body trying to dodge bullets it could be a problem ๐Ÿ˜‚

    It looks cool besides the battery life and the fact that there are only two paddles. Iโ€™d just end up getting a battle beaver custom because you can but four buttons on the back

      Have fun needing to replace it within a few months and jumping through hoops to do so

    So to beat GOWR 2:57, since Iโ€™m not fast enough to press the circle button may need to get a 200 dollar pro controller? Yes, I never beat that section luckily it didnโ€™t affect the story progression. So no thanks but thanks for not having to pay a 250 dollar pro controller to beat a certain game!

    If there were four back paddle slots, and the battery life was 20 hours, and it was matte black, I would pay $200 happily.

    Already pre-ordered and I can’t wait. Battery life doesn’t matter to me because my controllers are plugged in all the time anyways

    I think this controller is a test run, if it sells well, they’ll come out with a Dualsense Edge Pro and it’ll have the 4 buttons at the back.

    I agree with the comment about the controller lock; I’d lock it to my PS5 rather than the controller. I understand locking it on either side, but having both options would be nice.

      Bust the drill out and drill a couple of anchor holes in your ps5 also its usb A to usb C

    For that price, I would have expected 1 replacement stick module in the box.

    I have one on preorder but not a fan of everything being plastic for this price range. The Xbox elite series 2 has a lot more heft / more metal including sticks that use magnets / and has four back triggers and cheaper. I suspect the stick swapping option was also a legal tactic regarding stick drift as now Sony can point people to this controller as an option of stick drift occurs instead or replacing the controller and Sony profiteers from this hardware / design flaw because they use potentiometers instead of Hall effect sensors. Sony ahold release Hall effect modules as an option.

    4 hours is fine. Literally.. if not then you must really have nothing to do but play all day without breaks. He said โ€œdualsense has bad battery life, only 7-10 hoursโ€ lmao

  16. alastair clarke

    January 25, 2023 at 9:41 pm

    I wish the controllers had a 45 mins battery life and couldn’t be used & charged at the same time. It would make it much easier to limit the kids’ screen time!

    January 25, 2023 at 9:51 pm

    Something tells me that eventually the standard Dualsense will have some of the cosmetic changes the Edge has now. Like the textured grip on the triggers, the bottom half where the sticks are will be narrower around the grips like the Edge and they’ll probably add the PS symbols to the touchpad.

    • Pdubz21

      January 26, 2023 at 2:40 am

      Same thing I was thinking, until I remembered capitalism.

    • Vitor Fernandes

      What for? Those are just cosmetic. Pointless stuff

  18. Juan Pedroza

    January 25, 2023 at 10:54 pm

    People keep complaining about the price and if thatโ€™s too much get the regular controller because this is a pro controller with more features and more customization. And if people think this controller cost too much they might wanna compare it to battle beaver and scuf controllers ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

    If I didnt already own a battle beaver controller this would 100% be a pickup for me. The changeable analogs alone along with the hair triggers almost made me get them, but other competitors just offer a lot more customization

    • Pdubz21

      January 26, 2023 at 2:39 am

      How much โ€œcustomizationโ€ do you need (not being sub)?

    • Devin Roberts

      January 26, 2023 at 10:06 pm

      @Pdubz21 I buy battle beavers, and so you can change not just the way a controller looks but how many extra buttons it has, remove the rumbles, make every button including the face buttons hair triggers, have actual grips on the controller and I prefer buttons rather than padles on the back

    • Pdubz21

      January 26, 2023 at 10:58 pm

  22. Barry B Benson

    January 26, 2023 at 12:56 am

    It’s expensive but I just have to tell myself it’s the last controller I have to buy this generation. Makes it a lot cheaper like that.

  23. Barry B Benson

    January 26, 2023 at 12:57 am

    I really think a headphone Jack lock would’ve been more beneficial. So far I have 2 controllers, and outside of minor stick drift on the one that is 2 years old, the only issue I’ve had is the headphone Jack starts getting finicky in a month or less. My newest controller I have barely even used because the headphone Jack is constantly cutting out from no longer gripping the cord enough.

    • Vitor Fernandes

      January 26, 2023 at 2:56 am

      Wired headphones in 2023? Strange. Especially connected to the controller. It will kill your battery and the sound is horrible

    • Barry B Benson

      January 26, 2023 at 3:14 am

      @Vitor Fernandes who needs an extra battery to charge? Sound cutting in and out as receivers wear out? Sound latency? Sound is perfectly fine. Hyperx cloud 2, you really think wireless sound quality is better than wired? across the board wired have better quality lmao, whether it’s for gaming, music, etc

    • Unloughful Gaming

      January 26, 2023 at 3:48 am

      @Barry B Benson get a wired mix amp style headset and the difference is CRAZY

    • Barry B Benson

      January 26, 2023 at 7:08 am

      @Unloughful Gaming dawg I just bought a 200$ controller who do you think I am ๐Ÿ˜ญ lmao maybe one day tho

  24. Amanwil Kasy

    No third party controller can compete against the software level customizability of this of controller

  25. babaduku

    January 26, 2023 at 1:25 am

    So, instead of fixing their original design that stick-drifts in like 90% of cases, they release a more expensive version with replaceable sticks so we can buy replacement sticks instead of just returning our faulty controllers and getting a brand new one.

    • Vitor Fernandes

      January 26, 2023 at 3:08 am

      Thatโ€™s smart business.

  26. 3INLONG

    Now if Sony can give us Bluetooth so we can connect any headphones or earbuds we want without using an adapter!!

    The Xbox elite really enhanced my gaming on that platform. The DSE looks nearly identical in terms of features and UI (with the exception of 2 vs 4 back paddles). Iโ€™m psyched that Sony climbed on the premium controller train after all these years. Back paddles are game changers for both shooters and adventure games. In dark souls 1-3, I mapped the run/dodge function to the paddles and games got better. Looking forward to the same with Elden Ring. For Returnal, long jumping and grappling with my thumb on the D-stick will be a major upgrade. Overall, Iโ€™m glad this is finally available.

    Is this a joke? Only 2 back paddles( I would expect 4 back paddles like ALL other controllers at this price point) no stick adjustment tension and a shorter battery life than original controller all for just $200 yeah no thanks๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿผ the case doesnโ€™t even come with a charging dock like my elite series 2๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ wtf were they thinking?

  34. Sleepyhead fpv

    January 26, 2023 at 2:37 pm

    Took forever and has half the features of the elite 1 version.

  35. 8bit_Nacho

    ok but do any of these features work on pc

    • Robert Simoiu

      January 27, 2023 at 7:04 am

      Not yet, and nobody is talking about it. Frustrating. I have it and the back paddles aren’t working. It works exactly like a regular PS5 controller (for now, I HOPE).

  36. King Of Kings

    January 26, 2023 at 3:15 pm

    Only thing I don’t like about the controller is they kept the two buttons on the front white when the rest of the buttons are black they should’ve been black also..Recieved mine this morning.

  37. Trueborn

    January 26, 2023 at 3:55 pm

    I cant get the smaller back buttons back into the box slots. Anyone else have this problem?

  38. Erico Trulssen

    January 26, 2023 at 4:31 pm

    Even though the sticks are swappable Sony is legally obliged to provide stick replacements free of charge if the ones that come with the controller break within the warranty period. So the stick’s 20 dollar tag is a bit irrelevant (and expensive for what it is) as “competitive players” will most likely break them sticks within that time frame.

  39. Oliver Herrada

    January 26, 2023 at 5:11 pm

    The price of this controller is ridiculous. CA$270 + taxes. Iโ€™m just fine with the regular ones.

  40. Chaika Gaz

    January 26, 2023 at 8:13 pm

    Heard putting ps5 in the vertical position is bad for the console since the heatsink mercury will leak out.

  41. Steven De Groof

    January 27, 2023 at 12:44 am

    2 instead of 4 back paddles is giving the Xbox Elite Series2 controller absolutely the upper hand. Unbelievable choice there ๐Ÿ™

  42. A Noid

    January 27, 2023 at 5:42 am

    Thing is that the regular ps5 controller is pretty fantastic as it is, but hey, thatโ€™s of course a great controller. Seems it me like it could have sold much more if it was $150. $200 seems very high to find a market for this.

  43. TheFrenchy82

    January 27, 2023 at 7:57 am

    ” Low Battery Life “…. Hum… A new expensive controller isn’t suppose to ADD more features ??
    What is really awful with Sony is that , when you are third controller company , you CAN’T use all the features from the official controller : no immersive haptic feedback or Adaptive triggers. it’s a shabby technic from Sony, if you ask me.
    You have many offers regarding controllers , on Xbox … it’s not the case on Sony’s machine. It’s pretty sad !
    But to be fair : on Xbox , you can only buy from one brand, your Storage Expansion Card… so no competitor and so very high price….

    Replaceable thumbsticks are a gamechanger

  45. So Vo

    January 27, 2023 at 2:50 pm

    I thought it was sort of a replacement for the Dualsense (same as the first Dualshock to the original PSX controller, or the DS3 to the Sixaxis), to be priced at 70 or 80 USD top. But when I saw the actual price… jeez! Even with a 30 hour battery life it’s just too much. Dead on arrival to me, I’ll wait for a new Gulikit controller.
