    I don't think anyone listened to a single thing you said considering everyone in the comments are complaining about stick drift when YOU CAN BUY NEW STICK MODULES!! Not to mention the full software integration with the PS5 people seem to leave this out but you can literally customize everything on the controller in the settings on your PS5, deadzones, remap buttons and paddles, stick curve response. So yes this is the best pro controller for the PS5 the software integration instantly makes it better than any other pro controller for the PS5 specifically.

    Bought this because I have nerve issues that prevent me from easily doing some moves on regular controllers. I love the customization of the button assignments. I use the small half round paddle pieces, they feel,so natural to use. I like how you can set up multiples profiles for different games. Battery life, yeah, it is not awesome. Often find myself tethered at the end of a long session. I’ve turned the haptic feedback to low and that’s helped a bit.

  • @kensprivateinvestigation2128
    @kensprivateinvestigation2128 Месяц назад +1

    I have had my DS edge for almost 2 years now and have well over 2000 hours into it, with all the same problems and perk. From the rubber on the grips peeling to the minor amount of stick drift. I was smart when I pre ordered this and also picked up 2 extra stick modules as I was anticipating them having the same life expectancy as the regular ps5 controller (about 2 to months for me). While I do have a very small about of stick drift, it is completely mitigated by adjusting the dead zone inputs in the controller settings for each game I play, and I have not even used the extra stick modules I bought when I ordered the controller.
    Now for the bad. Since I have bought the controller, I cannot attest to current build quality or longevity. On top of that we have the price of the stick modules. Originally $20, now everywhere I look wants to charge $50 per module. Should you need to replace both modules you are looking at $100, half the price of the controller itself.
    Now, would I recommend buying one? Yes and no. This late into the ps5 life cycle and a lack of good competitive games other than Fortnite, I cannot recommend going and dropping $200 on this controller.
    However, I do regularly see them listed for sale on facebook marketplace for $100- $130. I’m sure you could even haggle them down for even cheaper.
    In short, new? No. A used one at/under $100? Definitely. It is a game changing experience, and you will notice a clear improvement in your gameplay.
    Maybe with the possible release and “return to form” of battlefield later this year(happy new year everyone, it is currently 3:30am, Jan 1st for me) I might recommend it more. However, if you are a CoD player, I recommend just playing something else BO6 isn’t worth the time it takes to download or the exorbitant hard drive space it takes up(for anyone wondering, I am 10th prestige lv240. I have enough time in the game to say it’s not worth the price and is so bad that it has finally convinced me to give up on CoD for good and never return)

    I’m looking to buy a new controller with 2 back paddles this week. I bought the Xtremerate back paddles a few months after I bought my ps5 years ago and I’m need of a replacement. One option is getting a new controller ($60 currently on sale) and then getting the newest version attachment from xtremerate (I think $50) or thinking about get the edge/other pro controller with back paddles ($150-200$). With Xtreme I had to take the controller apart and connect everything myself (wasn’t very hard) but I did notice I had stick drift early on and have had to continue raising deadzones across Fortnite/COD over the years. Right now my stick drift is getting really bad and that’s the main reason for needing to get another controller. I did have to buy 1 metal piece for the back paddle because it cracked one day that I was using it. Also had to swap the RT spring because it would break or become very loose. So honestly not many issues with xtreme rate but a friend of mine has had the edge pro for 2 years and hasn’t had a single issue. Wondering if I should take the chance and buy it since it seems like it’s the most durable and has replaceable joysticks if you develop stick drift. I can afford to do both but obviously one is gonna be more expensive than the other. Any thoughts?

      You're more likely to cause stick drift from opening up the controller to do the work on it. Having dust or things that can fall into the controller when you're modifying it is a real issue and is more than likely what happened to yours. I'd recommend the dual sense edge if you can afford it, best mainstream controller on the market right now for gaming and like the guy said, the durability is quite good however you still need to do things to prevent wear and tear as much as you can like joystick covers, a thin skin around the controller that doesnt affect gameplay and avoid food or debris near the controller to reduce the chances of things getting pushed inside the controller.

      The input lag on Dualsense controllers is indistinguishable on wireless vs wired. The difference between the two is within less than +-1ms. Sometimes wired has more lag, sometimes wireless has more lag.
      In fact the funny thing is, due to a buggy implementation, DS4 controllers on PS4 actually have quite a lot more input lag if you use them wired compared to wireless (like +20ms or so). They did fix this on PS5 if you use a DS4 though.

      @@ShoppinBagLoso I get that, and the majority of those people play CoD a lot… my point is you don’t have to replace the whole controller… You can replace those magnetized contraptions on your controller. I’ve had mine since launch and play everything from CoD to Cyberpunk, but I press the button with the force needed once I noticed how I am with CoD… my wife told me I was “white knuckling” my controller when I played CoD… so I learned to loosen my grip so I didn’t have issues later down the road. Like I said though, you can replace them now, so I’m not as careful but it still works like the day I unboxed it… EXtremeRate is the store to get it, and they have a step by step guide here on RUclips to replace it

    Grips peel after 2 to 4 months plus they turn yellow and get dirty fast even with clean hands. Easy fix would be if they just make the grips black instead. Yes you can buy third party black parts but a $200 controller should just come with it. Had the left back button which I use primarily for jump break on two separate duel sense edge controllers and the battery life is absolutly horrible.The stick modules have been out of stock for a while now so if you get stick drift you are out of luck.Here an idea sony instead of stick modules that are always out of stock just use hall effect sticks instead . Id say there are many other options right now in the same price range to get one of them instead.Had high hopes for the duel sense edge but I am very disappointed. Good luck trying to use the 1 year warranty as well. Shame on you Sony

    I love the DualSense Edge, but my only gripe is that the rubber grips started peeling off after 3-4 months of using the controller. I always take care of my stuff, so for that to happen to a $200 USD controller is unacceptable.

      @iamthegamingnerd are you serious ?? And do the players use the pro controller EDGE PS 5 and is it worth the 250 dollar price and makes huge difference or buying some other pro controller is better or the basic itself with the back buttons and I can't believe people play for so many hours !!
