PlayStation DualSense Edge Wireless Controller - Midnight Black

I picked up the PlayStation DualSense Edge Wireless Controller because I wanted something a little more customizable for longer gaming sessions. After using it for a while, I can definitely say it feels like a step up from the standard controller. The first thing you notice is the build quality. It feels solid and slightly more substantial in your hands. The grips are comfortable, and it just has that “premium” feel right away. The adjustable triggers and swappable stick caps are actually useful — especially if you play different types of games. Being able to fine-tune the trigger sensitivity makes a difference in shooters versus racing games. I also like the customizable back buttons. It takes a little time to get used to them, but once you do, they really help with reaction time and overall control. The ability to create different profiles and switch between them is a nice touch too. Battery life is decent, though I will say it doesn’t seem to last quite as long as the standard DualSense. That’s probably the only real downside I’ve noticed so far. Overall, this controller feels like it’s made for someone who plays regularly and wants more control and flexibility. It’s definitely more of an investment, but if you game often, the upgrades are noticeable and worthwhile.

Amazing controller. Well worth it for the features it comes with. Be noted that it is slightly heavier than a regular ps5 controller and battery life seems worse than a base controller. The option to remove and replace the thumb sticks is invaluable in the long run and the remapping and customization of buttons and stick dead zones is amazing for competitive gaming. Worth the money if you’re more than a casual gamer.

Amazing quality! The controller came fast and works really well with easy instructions on how to switch the joy sticks and paddles on the back. If your a gamer i’d say the $200+ price tag is worth for the feel and how much better it’s makes the experience. No stick drift and no faulty buttons. Even better is that if your joystick breaks you can order $20 replacements instead of needing a whole new controller. Amazing product, if you’re a controller gamer I 110% recommend.

For the price, this is one heck of a controller. No stick drift, the ability to pull it apart and replace individual pieces. Its pretty awesome. The extra rubber grip makes it super nice as well. No need for a lizard skin or anything.

Best controller Iv ever bought! I love it. No drift and if it ends up getting stick drift replace the stick module and you’re good to go! On the PlayStation you can save your button presets or profile so the functions of your buttons can easily be changed so you can go from one game to another without having to go through the setting for each game! It works very well and is quality made! Comes with a case and a power cord that locks into the controller to keep it charged so it doesn’t come out while you play! The back buttons are very nice and is the main reason I bought this controller!

A must use for FPS games. Especially for competitive gamers. The additional settings you can set are an additional plus. Very well made controller and functionality.

Better than the regular dualsense and while I'm giving 4 stars Sony is exploiting us with both of these dualsense controllers. I've had 4 Dualsense. 1 was somehow smashed but 3 got drift in the left stick. I've never had stick drift with dualshock 2 or 3 except when left under a heavy pile and had it once with dualshock 4 but It was actually rough handled. But despite taking better care of these dualsense than any other controllers I've ever had, because they're so expensive, I've had 3 dualsense controllers develop drift. I'll save you the rant about how I can't believe Sony is getting away with this blatant carelessness or blatant scam. The edge is basically rubbing it in our faces. I ordered this and a regular remote. The edge replaceable sticks feel so much better than the regular dualsense straight away. That's before you even touch the software settings, which there's absolutely no reason why the regular controller can't access them. Everything on this controller just feels much more "solid" or "strong". The dualsense already had a high quality feel to them, which just makes the sticks that much more ridiculous, but every single piece on the edge feels like a much more crafted part and not hollow. The leathery feel of the grips is so nice because the similar feeling of the regular plastic grips goes away fast no matter how clean you keep your hands, and this material feels like it will feel great for a longer time. Even the face buttons and D pad feel more mechanical than the regular controller. L2 R2 L1 R1 are the one thing on the regular dualsense that I couldn't imagine being better but they are. The touchpad on the regular remote feels much looser in comparison to the edge and personally, when games are loading or when waiting I like to straddle the edge of the touchpad near the charging port and there's literally an edge to it instead of the rounded regular shape. It just feels nice and on the regular remote, fiddling there is where you will really notice the difference where one feels loosely connected and the other just feels like it's actually part of the remote. I had heard the battery life was worse, but so far if it's not the same it may actually be better. I had always turned off adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, even though I like them, just to improve battery life. But I kept them on with the edge and it really seems to be nearly identical. The cable it comes with charges the controller pretty fast and it's an okay length but if I plug my phone or something else in it charges extremely slow. I'm probably never going to use the case it came with and it honestly should be sold separately so the controller could be $30+ cheaper (I definitely would have tried it sooner) but it has a nice feel that really cements the thought of "man I could have saved like $40 if they sold this separately." I had to stop and pick the case up right now to make sure I wasn't exaggerating. Yeah dude this is like my Nintendo switch case that's $40 which feels like my cousin's case that was $80. Just really shows how they're giving us the illusion of value by giving us more so they can charge us more. But it's funny because $70 dualsense is knowingly sold with a single (or dual) poor quality part. You know how much cheaper it was to give the earpiece with the PS4 than to put a mic on every dualsense? And everybody just mutes it or is in a party anyway and if actually using it their kids are yelling and Mom is vacuuming and they're arguing with their family. The dualsense is a major low point. All that said (and left unsaid) it's a nice controller and even if PS6 comes in a year or two, this controller works on phones and PC. I just started playing more PC lately and the level of compatability the dualsense has with Steam makes this the clear choice even if you don't have a PS5. I've always liked Sony, but they always have some anti consumer B S. The PS3 DRM and gradually stripping features via updates, releasing stuff like the vita then having absolutely no faith or support for it. I've heard they're heading in that direction with their phones, yeah they make phones. And then they make God of War Ragnarok an anti war message. 4 stars though.

There is NO going back to the standard controller, for any reason. The under-controller buttons, the sticks and their swap-out ability, the various adjustments to trigger distance, and the customizable game button and stick command layouts are game changers. If you break sticks a lot by dropping the controller on the sticks, the stick swap out process is fast and very welcome. The stick replacements were hard to procure initially, but stocks seem better now. It is heavier and it hold a charge substantially less than the standard controller.
