No way you called this controller off the mark, no way. There is not a better option than this thing on the market, if gey box incorporated all these features in their controller it would cost you 350 and break in 6 months.
The half domes are the nicest feeling back buttons I've ever used. The paddles feel good but they are just way too easy to actuate by accident. It takes very little force
damn it man, can somebody just make the perfect controller already, im sick of the cherry picking of features, everything has like 3/5 boxes ticked but never all
Great review. On the software side, I use DS4 Windows rather than DualSense X. I think it may do less but it's free and covers whatever I use it for. The controller has been great so far, I use one paddle and one button on the back. The only issue I had was with major stick drift before downloading Sony's firmware update for PC. It's been a nice upgrade from the DS4 with KontrolFreeks and PS4 back button attachment.. I still use the KF' on this controller though..
I love the idea of back paddles but hate the feeling of my hands always resting on them, that’s exactly why the half domes on the Edge is such an amazing feature
The DualSense haptics being there are also a selling point. Like you said, if you play wired most/all the time (I do) then it's a great buy. I also don't mind the replaceable thumbsticks. It's a cheaper solution than buying a whole new controller and then waiting for it to arrive and I would also never think that it's realistic to expect them to work with another company, like Gulikit, especially on their first attempt. This is better than me waiting for an Aim controller to arrive again. I was waiting for my Aim DS4 for 3 months and the sticks lasted 2 years. Hopefully Gulikit can squeeze out a set of Hall stick modules in time before Sony can push them out of the space.
i'll let you know everyone (mostly everyone) that owns a PS5 turns off haptics because a) they're annoying asf. b) they drain the shit outta the battery (and overall can lead to other issues in the controller life over time) Well atleast in my own personal experience.

Dualsense edge drivers are now available on pc. Steam now allows you to remap back paddles and fn buttons. It will show up as a literal steam controller, but is 100% compatible without buying the software. In my opinion the controller is really meant for hardcore fps gamers as they mostly care about stick drift so swapping thumbstick is a literal make or break deal. Shorter battery life is also not an issue as most of those type of players play on monitors anyways. So unless you’re a hardcore fps gamer who plays on monitor, I would not recommend the controller. Otherwise, this is the best controller out there, simply because you don’t have to repay for an entirely new controller for stick drift

I’ve pushed my DualSense Edge to over 7 hours. I transitioned between COD: MWII, God of War Ragnarök, GT7, Sifu, and Kena: Bridge of Spirits until my Edge finally died. Haptic Feedback + Adaptive Triggers on MAX and the light bar dimmed to minimum.
I've had 4 ps5 controllers, 2 have some massive stick drift to the point where the controller is no longer usable The idea of being able to swap sticks isn't perfect since it won't fix drift but it's still better than nothing The possibility to swap sticks should be mandatory on pretty much every controller tho, especially on the Series 2 elite controller, the adjustment thumbstick tension feature on this thing makes it super prone to stick drift, it's beyond awful I swear💀 Epic vid btw, I was waiting for this review. Your vids are always pure comedy lmfao
Same to you man! And I think the Edge would work wonders for you, you're right, it is better than nothing. It isn't a true fix, but its the best we have until then. Hopefully the Series 3 has something like this, or even better, hall effect sticks
Man, I got my Edge Sunday, and I love it, the SCUF Reflex was my favorite controller by far, now its the dualsense edge, alot less hours than you on it, but man I love this damn controller, my only downvote is that it doesnt have the same clicky triggers as my SCUF, but i am amazed at how they were able to keep the adaptive triggers, and still include a trigger stop, also LOVE the controller cable lock, im almost snatched my PS5 off my desk because of this lol, but that shows how well it works, I love the paddles, but I use one paddle on the right & a dome on the left, also cant wait for Gulikit to release the Hall Effect sensor based thumbsticks for this controller, 100% gonna be picking those up, and as far as the DSX software on PC, it works, and 5$ was better than spending 400$ plus on a PS5, and the battery thing isnt really a big deal for me because wether im on my PS5 or PC, I play wired, this controller is for a VERY VERY VERY niche market, but all in all, man I love it, and as always man great and informative video, keep it up
I appreciate it man! And tbh, I personally love it as well. But like you, I play wired on PC and thoroughly enjoy the DSX software. Niche for sure, a lot more niche than many other pro controllers but it was certainly a good first attempt from Sony! I'm all in for them making their own pro controllers, glad they finally got around to it
I had to send my Scuf reflex FPS in for repairs. Now debating if I should get Dualsense Edge for the long wait till the Reflex comes back. Currently playing with regular Dualsense, Not having back paddles is no fun when playing Rank.
They made this controller for me, I play at 120fps on a monitor with my ps5, and my controller always plugged in for latency. And also on pc I speedrun games, but making my profiles on the ps5 or paying 5$ doesn’t really seem that bad even though it’s aggravating. The stick drift situation is still shitty tho
I’ve been really enjoying the Dualsense Edge. It has full support on Steam now which is really nice. It’s also much more comfortable to use than the original dualsense. The stock Dualsense actually hurt my hands to use. When holding the device, my pinkies would naturally dig into the sharp corners of the handles. On the edge those handles have been rounded off like an Xbox controller so it’s very comfy to use. Battery life definitely sucks, but the feature set and ergonomics are too good to ignore for PC and PS5. And the price is whatever. I just want a good controller that won’t break in 3-6 months (Elite Series 2 🙃).
@@Yhwach909 if you use Steam Input you have full access to the paddles and extra buttons to be remapped to whatever you want. That being said, most games that use the dualsense natively on PC (Spider-Man, Returnal, etc) require it to be disabled, which means no remapping if you want dualsense features.
@@Yhwach909 Ds4windows was recently updated to be able to use the controller, and the pads. You can now also use the Fn buttons and map them to any button/keyboard key,.
Only issue I’ve had is a “double click” on my L2. First it started with the lowest trigger setting then a few days later it happened on the second setting down. Oh and after 3 days of Apex abuse, I got stick drift already. But from a PS4 controller for 10+ years, I’m loving it.
I'd rather buy replacement thumbsticks every year or two than the entire controller. I go through controllers cause I'm picky, this is very appealing to me personally, might wait for black Friday sale or something. I have 2 dual sense with the extreme rate rise 4 paddles now, they work amazing but hard installation and if you get drift you got a shit show to swap to another controller
This video is nearly a year old but the Dualsense edge now has complete support from reWASD, steam input, joyshockmapper, etc. It's very expensive but it's the best PC controller currently.
I was about to be pissed when I seen the extra stick in your case.. I was like mine didn’t come with a 3rd extra stick module. Then I read the manual says it’s sold separately 😂😂
I agree with everything u said about the dualsense edge, i aint a pc player so i have no problem with it, tho i do agree they need a pc accessible website, i hope sony can make a dualsense edge website for the dualsense edge for pc
I've been using mine mostly on PC (wired) and can't really fault the hardware much, but the software situation is embarrassing. Something that the review here doesn't mention is that you can't get Dualsense features when using the Edge on PC. No trigger effects and no haptics.
@@vCuda If I recall correctly, the main board of the dual sense edge is different from the normal Dual sense. Which is the main reason why almost nothing supported this controller on release like DS4. Thus, some games that already support the dual sense features on PC actually do not support those same features if you use a dual sense edge. On the other hand, if you overclock dual sense edge through a cable, you get insane speeds like Max 1ms delay. I do not own it and this information I got from several different reviewers. So don't quote me on the accuracy of those.
so realistically, would u say its worth to switch to over the elite series 2? i love everything about the elite, but i have to get a replacement every 2-3 months because the bumpers have the durability of a gold pickaxe
yeah thats y am scared to spend 200 on duelsense edge ps5 controller worst ive seen playstation put out I also lost 2 controoler one to the right side bumper and sticky square button
How are you replacing a controller that's not even made anymore every 2-3 months lol. Original elites sell for more than series 2 so yeah, I'd make the upgrade. I'm not sure about reliability, but the series 2 has more features and the way the trigger stops work is much better.
I use a button on the right and a paddle on the left. This controller is only meant to hold me over until I get my Hypr controller, which will then be the controller that holds me over until I get a Battle Beaver again lol
Man.. I really want to buy my first pro controller and the Dualsense Edge looks as though it just might be.. should I wait any longer? The reviews on the Elite Series 1/2 are comical still up to this day.. 4-5 star reviews but almost everyone has had to replace it within months of owning it. Hmmmmmmm?? I've only played with stock controllers as I've never needed paddles to decimate.. but I do want to give it a try. Oh, I do not have a PS5 and don't plan on owning one as I play on PC. This video is fantastic and REAL. Every other video about this controller says the same thing over and over...
My only complaint is that it is top heavy. There isn’t much balance and it feels like it’s going to fall forward out of your hands. There should be an adjustable counterweight option for the handles/grips. Also, taller convex sticks would have been cool.
I bet I know why it only has two paddles. Sony was probably in shock when the official add on for the PS4 controller sold so well. (It was impossible to find for a little while). Sony looked at those numbers and thought 2 paddles, that's what the consumers want, good enough. That being said Sony did a great job for an add on. Once attached those paddles felt like they are actually molded into the controller itself. I can understand in that case why there were only 2 paddles, as there is no room for 2 more with that design, but in the case of the Dual Sense Edge there is no excuse. Unless they are planning to come out with a 4 paddle model in a year or 2 to make people double dip.
I rest hands on the dome back buttons I feel since the shape of it allows you to just rest your middle fingers on it, however most reviewers are reach for it.
Has Steam/Valve implemented support for the Dual Sense Edge the way they did for the Elite, where even keyboard inputs can be used on the controller? That would at least makeup for the lack of foresight on Sony's part concerning the PC.
Personally I use the ps5 controller with xtremerate hair trigger mod. I am loving that setup for ranked play in cod. I wonder if I can install the same hair triggers on dual sense edge. I know its a pro controllers but I am sweaty and like competitive play. Only want the swappable thumstick feature f4om this controller. I can claw and don't need the back buttons. I hear the triggers aren't instant like the extreme rate kit. Lmk cuda 🙌 great vid 👌🔥
Soo sad they don't put 4 backs buttons 😢😢😢.. I can pay 250-300 if they put 4 buttons. I'am stuck with custom controller who have stick drift after 4-6 month.. thank for your video!
I think sony should of marketed the controller to use wired. Ik that sounds bad but if you using a pro controller why would you use it with Bluetooth it adds so much more input delay and you are using the controller for competitive gameplay. It just doesn't make sense
after using the edge for a lot of hours mainly only on pc I would say it's really good if you don't care about the battery life also I don't use the back paddles or buttons I know it sounds stupid buying this controller but I think it's worth it for me I used to have stick drift controllers every 3-5 months and I had to either buy a new controller or fix and both options are really expensive in my country and I was already use to playing with regular dualsense so the dualsense edge was my best option also I love the high dome joystick but they aren't as high as using high kontrolfreeks, besides that I think that the edge is a really good controller if you already play with the regular dualsense and you have constant stick drift issues(Also I heard gulikit is trying to make a hall joystick for the edge so that also was one the factors that make me buy the edge)
Quality content as usual. I don't know if you have a battle beaver review out yet. I've been seeing a lot of controller fps pros that have been using BattleBeaver products. I wanna hear your opinion on it.
I see you've dismantled a thumbstick module in part of your video. How easy are the modules to take apart? Is it just a few clips and screws? I guess the cool thing about stick modules means that it's now even easier to fix a drifting stick maybe? You don't need to tear into the controller's main PCB and desolder any rumble motors. Literally just open the thumbstick swap/repair the potentiometer and carry on.
Its a single screw! And for cleaning purposes, as well as dismantling and cleaning the potentiometers I think this makes it far easier! Its a normal stick, soldered to the same sort of pcb as any other controller, with some type of custom connector. Its very simple, hopefully the sticks are at LEAST average in terms of consistency. Id call that a win lol
My Wolverine ultimate is going almost 2 years strong and I want to try something new. Debating between this or the elite 2. You might be right though, it will be hard going from 6 extra buttons especially those shoulder ones. Idk why more companies don't do that as well.
I feel like I’m the only person in the world to have gotten a great Elite Series 2 controller. Zero stick drift and it’s basically always great. I’ve had it for 3 years.
I'm ngl idk if the special edition version of the powera fusion pro 2 is a different from the original because I've had mine for a year and 2 months now with no problems whatsoever
ReWASD works better for mapping on the dualsense edge. Also I use 1 paddle and 1 button because I can rest my fingers on the back of the controller without touching the button unintentionally which is more comfortable given my current mapping.
I’m gonna gonna buy it till the 4 back button comes out. I think the half domed levers are perfectly ergonomic. I was wishing for something like that in a long time. But 2 buttons man. It’s not the deal for me and 200$
I wouldn’t expect sony to release a different controller with 4 back buttons unfortunately, which I find very disappointing. I’d think overall the pro controllers that are out now are what will be available
I bought a Hypr controller a week before the Edge was announced, and I feel that I made a good decision on getting the former. Prior to getting my first custom, I used the Collective Mind Strike Pack and the Bionik Quickshot on my Xbox One controller. They worked well for year and a half until breaking from my constant use of them. In regards to the Edge, it really grind my gears that at $200, there is only 2 back button instead of 4. If GuiliKit can make some hall effect joysticks for the Edge, that'd be great. I've actually didn't realize until your vid the Edge doesn't have official PC support, which is very weird. The biggest nail in the coffin for me is battery life. Sure, I can use this thing wired, but the fact that I have to constantly recharge the controller even more than a regular Dualsense, whose battery life is also pretty shitty is atrocious. Ultimately, avoiding the Edge, cuz it really doesn't edge out the competition for me. 🥁 On the flip side, I've really digging my Hypr Signature for the most part. Only big customizations I had on mine is the 4 back buttons, the remap chip, matte D-pad and face buttons, and the British Racing Green finish. Got it in October of 2022, paid about $162 before shipping, and so far has been quite reliable. In regards to things I don't like about it, the remapping process is really slow compared to other controllers, no profile saving and switching functionality, the circular home button isn't as responsive as the stock Dualsense button, the usual issues people have with regular Dualsense controller, especially battery life, and warranty is the same as every other custom controller manu. Overall, a pretty decent custom controller option.
I can live with the battery issue because I sit directly next to my console and PC do a wired setup isn’t the end of the world but lack of native PC support is kinda ass. Might wait for some kind of software support to comes out to allow the full functionality on PC without third party programs.
Mine broke after 2 seeks - back paddle broke/got stuck. Sounds like this is a real issue affecting a lot of people. Wish I'd known before spending so much money!
Great review man, I don't like the half domes you have to reach to far for them. The only thing that sucks for me is the lack of 4 paddles especially at this price. For warzone I change r3 and L3 to front facing buttons so I pretty much have 4 buttons that I don't have to take my hand of the sticks for. The battery sucks ass to but I have the official dock and don't play for more then a few hours. All in all it's a decent controller and better then my hex ps5 one and let's face it the quality control shits on the elite 2. I love the elite 2 but like you say for shooters it's a no go. The elite 2 last 6 months if your lucky and I got tired of it, so all shooters are on ps5 for me. My hex controller I've had for 14 months with 0 issues, in that time I've had 2 elite controllers.
Been a while since I was into any gaming and I have to say that I am surprised that gaming has gone so far from enjoyment of the game, to such whining about little things that really are a non issue.... Interesting...

The idea of being able to swap sticks isn't perfect since it won't fix drift but it's still better than nothing
The possibility to swap sticks should be mandatory on pretty much every controller tho, especially on the Series 2 elite controller, the adjustment thumbstick tension feature on this thing makes it super prone to stick drift, it's beyond awful I swear💀
Epic vid btw, I was waiting for this review. Your vids are always pure comedy lmfao
Same to you man! And I think the Edge would work wonders for you, you're right, it is better than nothing. It isn't a true fix, but its the best we have until then. Hopefully the Series 3 has something like this, or even better, hall effect sticks
how does it not fix drift i'm confused?
@Marcel W he went over it in the video.
Man, I got my Edge Sunday, and I love it, the SCUF Reflex was my favorite controller by far, now its the dualsense edge, alot less hours than you on it, but man I love this damn controller, my only downvote is that it doesnt have the same clicky triggers as my SCUF, but i am amazed at how they were able to keep the adaptive triggers, and still include a trigger stop, also LOVE the controller cable lock, im almost snatched my PS5 off my desk because of this lol, but that shows how well it works, I love the paddles, but I use one paddle on the right & a dome on the left, also cant wait for Gulikit to release the Hall Effect sensor based thumbsticks for this controller, 100% gonna be picking those up, and as far as the DSX software on PC, it works, and 5$ was better than spending 400$ plus on a PS5, and the battery thing isnt really a big deal for me because wether im on my PS5 or PC, I play wired, this controller is for a VERY VERY VERY niche market, but all in all, man I love it, and as always man great and informative video, keep it up
I appreciate it man! And tbh, I personally love it as well. But like you, I play wired on PC and thoroughly enjoy the DSX software. Niche for sure, a lot more niche than many other pro controllers but it was certainly a good first attempt from Sony! I'm all in for them making their own pro controllers, glad they finally got around to it
@@vCuda Agreed man it was a long time coming, but I think they learned from others mistakes and improved upon it, especially the XB ES2
I had to send my Scuf reflex FPS in for repairs. Now debating if I should get Dualsense Edge for the long wait till the Reflex comes back. Currently playing with regular Dualsense, Not having back paddles is no fun when playing Rank.
I use the domes for my controller because the paddles are too easy to press for on the couch gaming
I waited for this video more than I waited for the controler itself 😂
They made this controller for me, I play at 120fps on a monitor with my ps5, and my controller always plugged in for latency. And also on pc I speedrun games, but making my profiles on the ps5 or paying 5$ doesn’t really seem that bad even though it’s aggravating. The stick drift situation is still shitty tho
I’ve been really enjoying the Dualsense Edge. It has full support on Steam now which is really nice. It’s also much more comfortable to use than the original dualsense.
The stock Dualsense actually hurt my hands to use. When holding the device, my pinkies would naturally dig into the sharp corners of the handles. On the edge those handles have been rounded off like an Xbox controller so it’s very comfy to use.
Battery life definitely sucks, but the feature set and ergonomics are too good to ignore for PC and PS5.
And the price is whatever. I just want a good controller that won’t break in 3-6 months (Elite Series 2 🙃).
Does the paddels work on PC as they should?
@@Yhwach909 if you use Steam Input you have full access to the paddles and extra buttons to be remapped to whatever you want. That being said, most games that use the dualsense natively on PC (Spider-Man, Returnal, etc) require it to be disabled, which means no remapping if you want dualsense features.
@@Yhwach909 Ds4windows was recently updated to be able to use the controller, and the pads. You can now also use the Fn buttons and map them to any button/keyboard key,.
@@Anna_Rae so if I used steam to remap that will apply to other games? such as rocket league on epic?
@@vChrome97 who uses paddles for rocket league😂
They took the most “sony” way around this controller.
Sick video man
Finally...I been waiting for u to review this controller
Only issue I’ve had is a “double click” on my L2. First it started with the lowest trigger setting then a few days later it happened on the second setting down. Oh and after 3 days of Apex abuse, I got stick drift already. But from a PS4 controller for 10+ years, I’m loving it.
What does that double click mean?
I'd rather buy replacement thumbsticks every year or two than the entire controller. I go through controllers cause I'm picky, this is very appealing to me personally, might wait for black Friday sale or something. I have 2 dual sense with the extreme rate rise 4 paddles now, they work amazing but hard installation and if you get drift you got a shit show to swap to another controller
Bro I’ve been watching you. I assure you if you keep up like this you’re gonna be one of the biggest RUclipsrs
This video is nearly a year old but the Dualsense edge now has complete support from reWASD, steam input, joyshockmapper, etc. It's very expensive but it's the best PC controller currently.
2 paddles in 2023 is pathetic
For people coming back here. the PC software has be update to be able to fully customized the controller buttons just like on the PS5.
I was about to be pissed when I seen the extra stick in your case.. I was like mine didn’t come with a 3rd extra stick module. Then I read the manual says it’s sold separately 😂😂
great review, i love you. i did get stick drift after 1 month of cod playtime with the controller, the thumbstick quaility is a**
Back with the heat, great review
Thanks man!
2:45 you think only the UK uses the metric system?
Love your videos. I don't know much about editing. Did this actually take 250 hours?? If so props dude 😎.
I agree with everything u said about the dualsense edge, i aint a pc player so i have no problem with it, tho i do agree they need a pc accessible website, i hope sony can make a dualsense edge website for the dualsense edge for pc
I've been using mine mostly on PC (wired) and can't really fault the hardware much, but the software situation is embarrassing. Something that the review here doesn't mention is that you can't get Dualsense features when using the Edge on PC. No trigger effects and no haptics.
Thats what a good portion of this video is about... lol
@@vCuda If I recall correctly, the main board of the dual sense edge is different from the normal Dual sense. Which is the main reason why almost nothing supported this controller on release like DS4. Thus, some games that already support the dual sense features on PC actually do not support those same features if you use a dual sense edge. On the other hand, if you overclock dual sense edge through a cable, you get insane speeds like Max 1ms delay. I do not own it and this information I got from several different reviewers. So don't quote me on the accuracy of those.
Lmfao 🤡💤
so realistically, would u say its worth to switch to over the elite series 2? i love everything about the elite, but i have to get a replacement every 2-3 months because the bumpers have the durability of a gold pickaxe
yeah thats y am scared to spend 200 on duelsense edge ps5 controller worst ive seen playstation put out I also lost 2 controoler one to the right side bumper and sticky square button
How are you replacing a controller that's not even made anymore every 2-3 months lol. Original elites sell for more than series 2 so yeah, I'd make the upgrade. I'm not sure about reliability, but the series 2 has more features and the way the trigger stops work is much better.
nice, was deciding between this or the victirx pro bfg. Since my main platform is steam/pc. I think ill go with the victrix. Nice video cuda🤝
Victrix has a build in deadzone so not that great for fps games
@@vincentvandeperre1670 o word thanks, i mainly play rpg and fighting games.
I use a button on the right and a paddle on the left. This controller is only meant to hold me over until I get my Hypr controller, which will then be the controller that holds me over until I get a Battle Beaver again lol
Man.. I really want to buy my first pro controller and the Dualsense Edge looks as though it just might be.. should I wait any longer? The reviews on the Elite Series 1/2 are comical still up to this day.. 4-5 star reviews but almost everyone has had to replace it within months of owning it. Hmmmmmmm?? I've only played with stock controllers as I've never needed paddles to decimate.. but I do want to give it a try. Oh, I do not have a PS5 and don't plan on owning one as I play on PC. This video is fantastic and REAL. Every other video about this controller says the same thing over and over...
My only complaint is that it is top heavy. There isn’t much balance and it feels like it’s going to fall forward out of your hands. There should be an adjustable counterweight option for the handles/grips.
Also, taller convex sticks would have been cool.
Yeah really they had concave taller sticks, taller convex should have been obvious… but so should 4 back buttons as well
Never seen your channel b4 today and I'm a fan just because of your sense of humor. You had me dying of laughter 😂keep it up
Only 2 rear paddles is a major fail.
I always play wired and I play on ps5 mostly so it’s an easy sell for me
I bet I know why it only has two paddles. Sony was probably in shock when the official add on for the PS4 controller sold so well. (It was impossible to find for a little while). Sony looked at those numbers and thought 2 paddles, that's what the consumers want, good enough. That being said Sony did a great job for an add on. Once attached those paddles felt like they are actually molded into the controller itself. I can understand in that case why there were only 2 paddles, as there is no room for 2 more with that design, but in the case of the Dual Sense Edge there is no excuse. Unless they are planning to come out with a 4 paddle model in a year or 2 to make people double dip.
I rest hands on the dome back buttons I feel since the shape of it allows you to just rest your middle fingers on it, however most reviewers are reach for it.
Dude, nice video. First I’ve seen of ur channel and I’m impressed w the editing and personality. Good shit brov.
I saw in the last 3 days most of your vids about pro Controllers and I am gonna buy the aim thank you. U earn a sub
They're sending out a PS5 controller in April for a review! Can't wait to try it, always hear generally good reviews from about their products
Let’s Effin gooooo! I’m looking for a new controller currently. Oof I’m just gonna get the Wolverine
Has Steam/Valve implemented support for the Dual Sense Edge the way they did for the Elite, where even keyboard inputs can be used on the controller? That would at least makeup for the lack of foresight on Sony's part concerning the PC.
Sup man, been a long time since ive been to your channel but I loved this vid, good to see you doing good
Personally I use the ps5 controller with xtremerate hair trigger mod. I am loving that setup for ranked play in cod. I wonder if I can install the same hair triggers on dual sense edge. I know its a pro controllers but I am sweaty and like competitive play. Only want the swappable thumstick feature f4om this controller. I can claw and don't need the back buttons. I hear the triggers aren't instant like the extreme rate kit. Lmk cuda 🙌 great vid 👌🔥
You are an INDIVIDUAL in a world full of copycats. Keep being you!!
Soo sad they don't put 4 backs buttons 😢😢😢.. I can pay 250-300 if they put 4 buttons. I'am stuck with custom controller who have stick drift after 4-6 month.. thank for your video!
Love these reviews cuda. Keep it up
What is stopping them from putting similar software on the last controllers? They literally update the controller software regularly
Cannot put similar software on the DualSense due to lacking the new Edge hardware meant for the newer software
Underrated youtuberr
I think sony should of marketed the controller to use wired. Ik that sounds bad but if you using a pro controller why would you use it with Bluetooth it adds so much more input delay and you are using the controller for competitive gameplay. It just doesn't make sense
great review as always
after using the edge for a lot of hours mainly only on pc I would say it's really good if you don't care about the battery life also I don't use the back paddles or buttons I know it sounds stupid buying this controller but I think it's worth it for me I used to have stick drift controllers every 3-5 months and I had to either buy a new controller or fix and both options are really expensive in my country and I was already use to playing with regular dualsense so the dualsense edge was my best option also I love the high dome joystick but they aren't as high as using high kontrolfreeks, besides that I think that the edge is a really good controller if you already play with the regular dualsense and you have constant stick drift issues(Also I heard gulikit is trying to make a hall joystick for the edge so that also was one the factors that make me buy the edge)
Great review thanks
Quality content as usual. I don't know if you have a battle beaver review out yet. I've been seeing a lot of controller fps pros that have been using BattleBeaver products. I wanna hear your opinion on it.
I see you've dismantled a thumbstick module in part of your video. How easy are the modules to take apart? Is it just a few clips and screws?
I guess the cool thing about stick modules means that it's now even easier to fix a drifting stick maybe? You don't need to tear into the controller's main PCB and desolder any rumble motors. Literally just open the thumbstick swap/repair the potentiometer and carry on.
Its a single screw! And for cleaning purposes, as well as dismantling and cleaning the potentiometers I think this makes it far easier! Its a normal stick, soldered to the same sort of pcb as any other controller, with some type of custom connector. Its very simple, hopefully the sticks are at LEAST average in terms of consistency. Id call that a win lol
@@vCuda that's great to hear. Waiting on Gullikit in case they make their compatible Hall thumbsticks.
I think my controller life stop at wolverine ultimate. All the rest or the newest are not worth it
My Wolverine ultimate is going almost 2 years strong and I want to try something new. Debating between this or the elite 2. You might be right though, it will be hard going from 6 extra buttons especially those shoulder ones. Idk why more companies don't do that as well.
6:26 absolute savage. No f’s given. This is why I am here. Best f’ing channel in RUclips.
The fact that it only has 2 back buttons is really off putting
😂😂😂 the end of the video and the victrix 😂😂😂
What controller do you use. That's the one I'm trying to buy
I was wondering if i should buy the edge to use on pc as it seems to be so good. But is it compatible with Laptop/PC?
I like this guy already. Subscribed
Whats up with that leather jacket? on ur way for a thriller controller vid?
I tested it and the battery lasted 5 hours and 26 minutes on a ps5 game
Nice!
Great video bro! 👌
I feel like I’m the only person in the world to have gotten a great Elite Series 2 controller. Zero stick drift and it’s basically always great. I’ve had it for 3 years.
I'm ngl idk if the special edition version of the powera fusion pro 2 is a different from the original because I've had mine for a year and 2 months now with no problems whatsoever
EXCELLENT VIDEO. The BEST DualSHIT Edge review, hands down.😂
My light indicator won’t stay lit?
ReWASD works better for mapping on the dualsense edge. Also I use 1 paddle and 1 button because I can rest my fingers on the back of the controller without touching the button unintentionally which is more comfortable given my current mapping.
i prefer my pro controller wired so the battery really doesn't bother me because im always wired.
I’m gonna gonna buy it till the 4 back button comes out. I think the half domed levers are perfectly ergonomic. I was wishing for something like that in a long time. But 2 buttons man. It’s not the deal for me and 200$
I wouldn’t expect sony to release a different controller with 4 back buttons unfortunately, which I find very disappointing. I’d think overall the pro controllers that are out now are what will be available
Ive been using for 2 months and honestly i get minimhm 6 hours before the battery die and i play nearly every day
I bought a Hypr controller a week before the Edge was announced, and I feel that I made a good decision on getting the former. Prior to getting my first custom, I used the Collective Mind Strike Pack and the Bionik Quickshot on my Xbox One controller. They worked well for year and a half until breaking from my constant use of them.
In regards to the Edge, it really grind my gears that at $200, there is only 2 back button instead of 4. If GuiliKit can make some hall effect joysticks for the Edge, that'd be great. I've actually didn't realize until your vid the Edge doesn't have official PC support, which is very weird. The biggest nail in the coffin for me is battery life. Sure, I can use this thing wired, but the fact that I have to constantly recharge the controller even more than a regular Dualsense, whose battery life is also pretty shitty is atrocious. Ultimately, avoiding the Edge, cuz it really doesn't edge out the competition for me. 🥁
On the flip side, I've really digging my Hypr Signature for the most part. Only big customizations I had on mine is the 4 back buttons, the remap chip, matte D-pad and face buttons, and the British Racing Green finish. Got it in October of 2022, paid about $162 before shipping, and so far has been quite reliable. In regards to things I don't like about it, the remapping process is really slow compared to other controllers, no profile saving and switching functionality, the circular home button isn't as responsive as the stock Dualsense button, the usual issues people have with regular Dualsense controller, especially battery life, and warranty is the same as every other custom controller manu. Overall, a pretty decent custom controller option.
If you dim the light of the controller, the battery life quadruples. Atleast that's how it was on the ps4
I run it with my lights dim
I'll get one when my current controller gets stuck drift.
I can live with the battery issue because I sit directly next to my console and PC do a wired setup isn’t the end of the world but lack of native PC support is kinda ass. Might wait for some kind of software support to comes out to allow the full functionality on PC without third party programs.
Mine broke after 2 seeks - back paddle broke/got stuck. Sounds like this is a real issue affecting a lot of people. Wish I'd known before spending so much money!
Great content g
Good controller just bought one 😊
im on pc and have no issues, and the FN buttons can be used as extra buttons.
Great review man, I don't like the half domes you have to reach to far for them. The only thing that sucks for me is the lack of 4 paddles especially at this price. For warzone I change r3 and L3 to front facing buttons so I pretty much have 4 buttons that I don't have to take my hand of the sticks for. The battery sucks ass to but I have the official dock and don't play for more then a few hours. All in all it's a decent controller and better then my hex ps5 one and let's face it the quality control shits on the elite 2. I love the elite 2 but like you say for shooters it's a no go. The elite 2 last 6 months if your lucky and I got tired of it, so all shooters are on ps5 for me. My hex controller I've had for 14 months with 0 issues, in that time I've had 2 elite controllers.
I use controller on my phone (c.o.d mobile).
Which controller would be better for me.
Dual Sense or Xbox Elite?
Been a while since I was into any gaming and I have to say that I am surprised that gaming has gone so far from enjoyment of the game, to such whining about little things that really are a non issue.... Interesting...
We not gonna talk about how he started rapping 2:54
Solid review !
