Here's What I Think About The PS5 DualSense Controller

- Ahead of the PS5 launch several accessories are now available at retailers including the DualSense controller. Today I wanted to unbox and take a look at the new controller along with a few other accessories and give my thoughts on it.

Love how he said there's just more controller to grab, basically he's saying the duel sense is comfortably THICC
Captain obvious
Great for big hands not for tiny one's feel bad for the women and children who are gonna have to pull some naruto shit if they play any fast paced games.
@@CRAgamer as a 13 year old it seems to be a near perfect balance
More cushion for the pushing.....of the buttons of course.🤣👍
I have a medium sized hand and the THICC-ness was something I had to get used to. I played a bunch with it on my PC and it's really comfortable now. I also love our smooth the inputs feel too
I realized they make the buttons mushy because they dont want the mic to pick up the clicking sounds. Also that's some quality microphone there! Voice is solid clear.
Captain obvious
@@bonesawarm6987 shut up boomer
@Jimbo Bimbo your mom
I love those buttons. Wish I could get my Switch joycons' buttons made out of these.
The clicky buttons on Xbox controller , the sound is horrific
November is going to be insane for Spawn Wave and friends. Can't wait.
Imagine Resident Evil 2 Remake with the DualSense. As you pull the trigger, resistance starts to build up. At almost the end of the travel, the resistance suddenly drops and the return is way more relaxed. There are subtle vibrations thanks to the high definition rumble and the trigger's sound come from the speaker.
I was literally just think about this. I'm playing the remake for the first time now. It's fun so far
@@PhantomDragon1337 no you dont understand its made for the new ps5 games
@@PhantomDragon1337 meh why does everthing need a remake
You mean Resident Evil Village that's struggling to run on PS5. Quote from the developer himself.
THANK YOU! Basically nobody is talking about the dpad. I play a TON of 2d platformers, and the DS4 dpad is probably my favorite of all time. So I have been very interested to see what people say about the dpad, but literally nobody is talking about it.
It's pretty much the same as the dualshock dpad, I have rhe dualsense.
Nice unboxing and side by side comparison!
Jessie and mike I used to watch you years ago
@@LittIeJoeyD watch em again ?
@@YoungCatracho yes
@How Not To how they gay
I know Im kind of off topic but do anybody know a good site to watch new series online?
This is the most detailed look I've seen at the controller. I appreciate Spawnwave's coverage on the options button. I hate trying to located that button on the ps4 controller in VR, its good to hear it sticks out a little more on the ps5 controller.
Wow thats pretty cool you got a recording with the mic and honestly for a mic that's tucked into that controller I'd say it didn't sound to bad without it actually using any kind noise canceling software.
It has a noise cancelling mic on the back of the controller i think
@@husseinalwashah1489 yes I know but its not being used properly if at all in this video because its not using the software from the ps5.
@@husseinalwashah1489 i guess its speculation kinda how he mentions it in the video but id guess when that second mic is on and working properly we won't hear the clicking of the buttons. But guess we'll have to wait and see 👀. cheers!
@@Souls8 yep
Sounded better than 95 % of mics i get to hear in cod lobbys so kam glad we get that
The Dual Sense is a huge leap forward for controllers. Seriously next level technologies. I can't wait to see your reaction to the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.
I really like the built-in microphone, because I have a really good headphones that isn't a headset and I want to use it for every game even while I'm in a party.
I think the dualsense was using the front and back Mic's as left and right Mic's, which is why the stereo panning is really off. Judging by the sound, it seems like the front mic is showing as a right mic.
Yup. Listening to the back mic in the left ear was really hard for my head to tolerate. It's interesting; it's clearly not a straight mic input - the DS itself is doing some kind of frequency manipulation which I guess the PS5 then uses for the front mic cancellation.
I actually kinda dig the white and black scheme of the controller, dont really get the hate against it
Its grey
@@dudidulo1524 I thought you said gay lmao
@@m0a139 lol
Imagine the other colors bruh🥵
Never really hated it, but it has grown on me a bit more than I thought it would. At least I'll be able to find this one in a dark room, unlike all of my other controllers.
Is it just me or dualsense design reminds me so much to Spider Gwen.
I'm not the only one!
I can't unsee it now
Oh man I never saw it that way till now
*googles* damn you're right
Wait wtf? Why did you do that to me!?
Don’t really like how the initial buttons aren’t colored anymore
You look at the controller to know what you’re pressing?
@@ActNasty5 😂😂😂
@@ActNasty5 It’s the aesthetic
@@ActNasty5 that's not what hes saying. It just looks a lot nicer with coloured buttons
You can probably just use the ds4 buttons on it.... But I like the look because I never really cared what colors the buttons were. Especially some of the older crowd has used non-branded controllers before without any colors 😂😂😂😂😂 the days of cheap mad catz controllers.
Spawn Wave is by far the best unboxing, review, and teardowns on TH-cam. Can't wait for a full PS5 teardown!
The D-Pad at least LOOKS a bit like the Vita's, Sony might've accidentally remembered it.
As a fan of visual novels, I certainly haven't forgotten about it, so many Vns get released on the device to this day.
The thing that bugs me is the individual dual sense controller doesn’t ship with a charger. I guess Sony is turning into Nintendo
The vita is super underrated
@@impalas1966 but... the switch pro controller gets a charger packed in...
@@impalas1966 I have never seen controllers shipping with chargers.
Damn, that mic sounds better than most >$50 headsets. That's something in its favor, all on its own.
I still find it funny how Sony tried to make a Boomerang controller years ago and now we have a controller that looks like a boomerang with the half white and black two tone dual sense.
You need glasses
How
Just look at the white part lol
I agree i also boomerang ps3 controller vibes lol
Lol yes!
I love how quiet it is.
One of my biggest problems with the Xbox One controller is that it's so loud with the button presses when the person I'm with in the room is trying to sleep.
God it sucks that they made the dpad even clickier, what the fuck were they thinking?
@@manakmishra if you mean the Xbox One controller D-Pad, that was a much needed change over the 360 controller D-Pad. I couldn’t care less what it sounds like haha.
@@strykah92 I mean the series x controller,
@@manakmishra fair enough. Haven’t used that one yet.
@@za-se4jv
Yes because platformers are great on cherry blues
Damn that voice audio recording was decent. Let’s hope the the second mic eliminates the controller sound.
And lets hope the left ear gets a little more sound
I mean Sony tested it to make sure it does, I'm pretty sure it will
@@domzzcardzz7985 I just hope it's not as bad as the 360's Kinect. Just so much echo.
@@brycejohnson7 they did it pretty good with the ps4 camera, i think it will be good here too.
It actually sounds great, well impressed
I think I'm actually gonna get one of those media remotes this time, purely as an extra convenience thing. I found that the triggers on the DS4 could easily mess up playback if you place the controller wrong, and the media buttons are all apps I actually use regularly which doesn't happen often with remotes lol
100000 times I've set my controller down and fastforwarded
I've been using the PDP PS4 media remote it's good.
Getting flashbacks to og xbox days. I remember they required you to purchase a remote and dongle just to play dvds on the system and called it a "dvd playback kit".
Couldn't agree more. The number of times I lay the controller on the bed at even the slightest of angles and it's either fast-forwarding or rewinding. Real annoying.
Crunchyroll ps4 in a nutshell
8:57 funny thing is, years ago people said the vita was dead but there's probably more Vita users than Stadia now and that's just saaaad lol. Also does the Dualsense work with Vita or PSTV? haha
Well its a bluetooth controller
@@mrblack576 shhh..spawn wave and his viewers cant understand this
My Vita is sitting right on my desk now :)
More Vita's sold than Wii U's so I guess it ain't thaaaattt bad. Stadia got hope. when it's been out 5 years and still hasn't beat those. Then it's sad. Which is going to be the outcome obviously lol
@@ulzrintheswift715 o wasn't asking if it "worked" as a standard Bluetooth controller, I was asking if it was recognised with every button functioning as should, as with the PS3 it works to an extent while wired and the playstation button doesn't work, and it doesn't work (afaik) with the Ps4. Shh though, I wasn't meant to ask the right question was I?
patiently waiting for the disassembly
Dualsense is the pinnacle of controller now
I just wish that a black version with the colored buttons comes out
Here's a tip for anyone who has the Dualsense rn: You can use the dual sense controller on PS remote play and it works excellent. I've tried it, and I love using it. You can also look at your TV or Monitor for a better experience. Hope this helped!
You can use it on a ps3 too but not a ps4
@@shaunstorey23 not directly to the ps4, but with remote play on a laptop or PC it works. And yeah, surprisingly it works on a ps3, which is very weird.
@@TheStructure I personally expected the DualSense to work on PS3. PS3 has always worked with just about any HID compliant controller. PS4 is unfortunately pretty fascist about non PS4 licensed controllers working on it heh.
@@strykah92 yeah, true.
I'm a xbox guy but this controller looks DOPE.
I think they say it works with other systems
*Why is the DualSense wearing a tank top*
to look sexy 😎
All the cool kids wear tank tops!
Silly 🙄
Because yo momma wouldn’t wear it for me
comment is irrelevant now
Dammit, now I can’t unsee it, lol
that mic actually sounds pretty decent. i've heard far worse sounding microphones before in standalone microphones
70 dollars and they couldn't toss in a 2 dollar usb-c cable
The cable is in with the ps5 system.
You get a cable with the console...
besides, USB-C cables are the norm these day now anyways. you can pexxsy much find one in almost most stores these days.
The grips from the side look like bananas, 10/10 controller
I like that the DualSense controller is actually has some grey tint to it along with it not actually being black but super dark blue / navy.
If anyone hasn't figured it out yet, the man's a controller connoisseur, seeing as there isn't anyone else I know who has as many controllers in their collection
. So if the guy tells you to buy the 8BitDo controller, you just buy the damn thing no questions asked. I'm kind of excited to see how much improvement the touchpad got, like could you easily write Spawn Wave across the screen, if so could be a good alternative for aiming if that good.
Meh, bought an 8bitdo after everyone said it was great and was honestly disappointed so I just bought a pro controller
The touch pad would be rough for aiming, gyro works best for aiming. So glad they put gyro in it, hope more devs implement gyro aiming.
I got the DualSense yesterday and it feels amazing!!! To bad I couldn’t preorder a PS5 in time. 😩 I’ll get one eventually.
Nice. I’ve yet to get mine in the mail
Where did you get it from broskie?
The dual sense works on a ps3. And on psnow via your pc.
I've had mines since Wednesday. I played games on my phone for a bit.
@hamza almosoweh you having a seizure there buddy? you okay?
the curve mentioned at 4:55 is actually quite important for the ergonomics of the controller (more curve is worse imo). This is the first video I see mentioning this, and it's why this guy is one of the best youtubers when it comes to these sort of videos.
I’m sure Sony thought about this already, but won’t the microphone in the controller be super annoying because it’ll constantly have button clicks and rumbles?
I’m pretty sure the noise cancelling isn’t set up yet so on the dualsense you’re gonna see 2 holes first mic second seems like something to cancel out noise but I don’t think it was set up but then again idk how that works if they need to enable it with an update or something like that
It has a second mic for noise cancellation 🙂
The PS5 controller is quickly becoming my new favorite.
Mine says arriving tomorrow from Amazon, hope it’s not lying 😂
I picked up mine yesterday. I love the feeling and grip of it. The triggers feel nice
Tomorrow we will finally be able to say PS5 NEXT WEEK!
Not in europe😢
Is that the exclusive Spider Man red Dualshock 4? You lucky dog you.
I'd really like to know if adaptive triggers etc work on pc with games that support it on PS5. Something like COD possibly? Please update when you can?
It'd require a driver for those motors for pc. Either from Sony or from the community :)
Then the game devs need to make use of it.
I was doing this last night with my dualsense and the mics arent bad. I played about and hour of destiny and I love this controler. I cant wait to see her the trigger change the feel of gaming
i’m mad that you weren’t sent a review system
Well, seeing how he like’s to do a tear-down of the console usually next day, they probably didn’t send one due to the NDA
Bit hollow sound in the controller mic but better than I expected.
“It has a very pronounced curve” Ha, that’s what she said
😏
I wasn't a fan of the bigger form factor of the DS but after the tear down I can see that unlike the DS4, every inch of space inside this thing was absolutely necessary.
Today, first look at the victim.
Tomorrow, evisceration.
You got me 👍🏻
Dude you have the best content. We need to petition for you to get a ps5 early. Best unboxing out there.
Idk, I love the feel of the ps4 controller. Its gonna be hard to find something better. Also, that thumb stick groove on the 5 is gonna wear off reallllllll quick
Definitely going to last longer than the ds4 thumb sticks
When holding the ps4 controller i notices my pinky didn't grab onto anything. Most of us PS players have been there from the start. We're all in out mid 20s to mid 30s now with bigger hands
Yea 6 months of cod my ds4 thumb sticks pads were off. Might use some kontrol freaks for more height and extra protection from wear n tear
The mic sounds better than my laptops, it's not bad at all.
That microphone was pretty impressive for a controller.
I like the looks of this controller, i just dont know if i can get used to symmetrical analog sticks.
I still prefer the switch pro pad over the Xbone and PS4, i own all three but never reach for Ps4 and go for xbox if i need analog triggers.
I dont mind the stick layouts at all, just a personal thing I guess
Believe me you can get used to it. I change back and forth with the pro controller and the DS4 all the time. It didn't feel weird after the first week
The Switch Pro controller is awesome. I just wish it had better triggers and d-pad for platformers.
@@manakmishra Agreed. Stick layout never bothered me the only thing that lacked for me in Sony controllers was ergonomics in terms of fitting in your hand. DS4 did a good job at getting better and it looks like the Dualsense will be the controller I've been looking for since it seems to fit fully.
Ds4 is a comfortable controller I think actually the most comfortable. I wish they made the dualsense as comfortable as the DualShock . But the elite controller is still my personal favorite
My TV is the minitor for my workstation and my entertainment center. So when I'm rendering I switch over to the PS4 to play or watch movies. Loving the media controller. Was super annoying to turn my PS4 controller off constantly when watching videos like this!! To avoid having the controller battery die. Happy Halloween!!
I'm getting the media remote camera an headset.... an the headset is now sold out again at bestbuy canada lol
I wanna get that dual sense charger but its sold out everywhere😔
@@Mosh241 canada amazon has them
I'm keep trying to get the headset, but I'm finding it as hard to get as a PS5 preorder.
@@gaberdude3050 i kept checking all the stores over an over as much as I could it is very difficult
Finally a big boy controller
I have big hands most controllers didn't feel comfortable hope this one does.
Me too. Ps3 controller was so uncomfortable to use. I got the ps5 controller a couple days ago and its very comfortable
Don’t break the controller like Austin Evans did trying to tear it apart Lolol
Just got my first PS5 today. Went with the God of War: Ragnorok Edition for $559.99 came out to $596.99 with tax, at my local Game Stop. First time holding and playing with the PS5 controller. The way the controller sits in your hand is so much more comfortable. It's a little more narrow in some areas, and a little more beefy in other areas which helps a lot. Whether or not it weighs more or less than the PS4 controller I'm not sure, but it definitely feels lighter due to how the weight is distributed. I bought this new PS5 console today because my PS4 started overheating and shutting off, only during gameplay. I transferred 2K23 to my external hard drive (the only game I had been playing on PS4 due to stick drift within months after buying a new controller, three times in a row. After recovering and changing my password in order to log in to PSN, I set up both consoles, made sure both were connected to the internet, and transferred all my data for 2K23 from the PS4 to my new PS5. The initial set up and update for the first start up on the PS5 went so smoothly and quickly, as well as the data transfer. I was shocked at how well and how quick everything went. I had a few worried before hand about being able to sign into my PSN on the new PS5, and was also dreading the data transfer due to the fact in the past any type of attempt to do anything this advanced with my consoles has always ended in a failed attempt due to internet issues or the console itself. With the PS5's backward compatibility to transfer and play all your PS4 games without losing your data, it was a no brainer to finally buy the PS5. Anyone worried about upgrading for the reasons I mentioned, just pull the trigger and buy a new PS5 you won't regret it. The overall layout on the PS5 and the load times are so much faster. My PS4 games that would take seconds to recognize every button you press, are now lightning fast. What I'm trying to say, is even if you plan on continuing to play and grind your current-gen PS4 games, buy a PS5 and play your PS4 games on the PS5. I can not tell you how much I wish I got one sooner. I was honestly looking at buying another PS4 assuming a refurbished or pre owned one would be $150 max, but was shocked when I saw the $250-$300+ price tag on the PS4's plus tax! With the PS5 digital only version being only $600 with tax out the door, including the new God of War: Ragnorok it was a no brainer to just get the PS5. I've played the original Gif of War before and it's not my style of game, but still happy to have it in my collection none the less. Wish they would have had the Call of Duty Edition but hey beggars can't be choosers.
I’m going to use that PS5 remote to watch the mandalorian on Disney+ and to watch spawn wave on TH-cam 👌
Nah, no Dolby Vision on PS5 to get the best out of The Mandalorian.
Yeah ... the disappointing thing about it is that these app labels are already on the buttons ... would been better to have them blank and assignable to the apps you like to use on them
Might actually end up just using my TV remote like I always did on my PS3 Slim and PS4 Pro
You can do that with a smart TV and get Dolby Atoms as well.
13:42... this is awesome. I'm wearing Airpods, and the microphone has dynamic 3D audio, he holds the controller more to his left, and that's where the audio in my headphones is the highest.
I'm an XBOX guy and don't really care about this feature (because I perfer playing alone or on couch mp), but this is cool nonetheless
Unless this controller has some mind blowing noise canceling you're gonna hear the noise from the buttons and sticks. Nvidia did the mic on the controller thing and it was horrible. I may pick up a dual sense for my pc even if I don't get the console. I'm leaning more towards the Xbox if I get a console but I like that controller.
Bruh🤦 why would u get an Xbox if u have a pc
@@domzzcardzz7985 Because It plays my backlog of Xbox games with enhanced graphics. My pc isn't gonna do that.
@ MobileDecay:*hear..... you have a typo!
Im curious what makes you interested in a XBOX, I own all platforms meaning PS, Switch and PC and considering the games coming out Xbox / PC is the least interesting option to me. Did you play any of the PS4 exclusives?
@@macruz8503 Oops I always do that. Thanks.
Who else started watching because expected a tear down and got disappointed when 2 minutes in Shawn said it will be another video?
Until you said you were taking it apart tomorrow I thought you went soft on us....first the Series X and now this??
I’m joking, I understand why he didn’t take the Xbox apart
My guess would be that the wider handle curves are to accommodate for the symmetrical stick placement. It pulls your thumbs in and down more, to make the left stick more readily available.
I don’t see how people like PS controllers they feel so crampy.. the one that I see myself liking is that boomerang prototype.
I have the dualsense, it's much better and less cramped compared to the dualshock.
i have had all PS consols but i just cannot stand the stick placement so have to use some other controller.
@Champion Person dawww poor dood.. hurt cause I don’t like PS controllers.. it’s alright my dude
@@turokforever007 *consoles, but
@Ryoshikari *controller. Top
*quality, IMO. And
Dual-sense controller looks like the best controller ever made.
I really don’t like the Dual Shock 4. It feels like a toy compared to the xbone controller. Really hoping this one feels better in the hands
How does it feel like a toy when you still have to put batteries in the Xbox controllers? You figure it would be the other way around. Well at least for me it is.
@@PostmortemGamingStudio I think he means the feel of the plastic, the Xbox controller is more textured and less slippy.
@@PostmortemGamingStudio He is obviously talking about how it feels in the hands. Stop being easily triggered.
@@nyikomaswanganyi5983 Not triggered lol I still put batteries in my daughters toys. Stop getting triggered over my comment. It's 2020 no need for batteries in the controllers anymore.
@@PostmortemGamingStudio that's why you have the option to use batteries or not. It's better that way
Whoa I'm really surprised how well that microphone sounded. It's a lot better than many headphones and earplugs I've owned.
I've noticed that circle seems to have the curvature that follows the controller
Like the 360 controller
I hope by the time I get a ps5 next year they have some new colors, because white gets dirty really fast
Lol, Lol, Lol, he said Cross 😸(In My Butt-Head voice)
Dude I love that thumbnail the blue outline on the controller making it seem like it's popping out and your face very slightly blurred to make the controllers standout from you
The new ps5 controller is garbage. The most uncomfortable controller I've ever used. Very disappointed with the controller. It's ruined my hole ps5 experience.
So, what do you recommend?
@@reianae.smiley8573 That they let us use our dualshock 4 controllers for ps5 games.
@@deathmetalfarmer YES
Honestly when you held the controller up to your face the mic sounded really good for what it is
Bad battery life, guaranteed.
Really fat up with controllers dying on me. AA rechargeable’s for the win!
Batteries are better in every way
The battery is considerably bigger while the lightbar is much smaller so you might be surprised.
Usb C fast charging 100% in like 15 min guys
If you ignore the black part of the controller, it looks like the ps3 boomerang controller, way more chunky though
This thing looks so friggin COMFY!!! Like, I fell in love with the DualShock 4 when I got my PS4, and I’m SOOOOOO ready to have that feeling again. I am so sad that I won’t be getting a PS5 at launch 😭
I’ve also come around on the design of the DualSense, to the point where the PS4 controller just kinda looks a little goofy. It is still a great controller but still. The DualSense looks amazing. I seriously hope I get this system for Christmas
About mic quality: In all likelyhood only a single mic is detected on Windows, and no other functionality is present. Meaning that the secondary mics aren't working for noise canceling purposes, and the driver to edit the sound isn't there either (we all know how well software can make a microphone or phonos sound/look 10x better)
The dualsense controller handle looks like a BANANA.
Gotta Love those PS5 Graphics!!! MegaMan never looked so good!!
The only thing I'm gonna miss out of my DualShock 4 is that Back Button attachment
I never was bothered by the light bar on the DualShock 4. The battery capacity didn't bother me either.
I'm way more bothered with PS Store Refund Policy, or more like the lack of.
Jon the gaming homie strikes again with another great video full of informations for us giggity gaming addicts! Woooo!!!
I love ya Jon! And the community you’ve built around gaming!
Its been a little but since ive been able to watch a buncha youtube stuff.. but i are here nao! Weeee!!!
🤘🏻😜
I came here for you to take it apart. How many unboxings do I need to watch.
u snapped on this video man the dualsense mic is cool as hell ima miss the clicky face buttons tho
Thumb sticks looks like OG Xbox One controller
I'm happy to hear that the Dualsense is much better than the D4. Every time I used the D4 I felt like I was playing with a baby controller
Seriously having Big hands most controllers dont feel that comfortable.
@@one_up907 The only controllers I've found comfortable are the 360s, X1s, and the Switch Pro controller. It's sucks when a controller can kinda ruin the experience lol
that makes no sense to me. PS4 controller was wider than the Xbox controller.
@@joi0001 The X1 controller is bigger though and has better stick placement. That's why it fit for me
@@ricochet628 nah, the stick placement is retarded on xbox. Symmetrical makes sense. I can't even claw play with the Xbox controller.
With your impressions, I am picking up a Dualsense Controller and start my road to getting the PS5
This guy never smiles in his thumbnails🤣
You where the only one that said anything about the curvature and the buttons 👍🏼
As a person with above average hand size. I say that because the average male hand size is 7.6 inches. Mine are 8 inches with a 9 inch wing span. I’m hoping that controller is Xbox Duke controller comfortable. I say that because everyone complained that was “too big.” At 14 I thought it was great.
Anyone else who clicked let down because he didn’t actually, you know, use the controller? Decent unboxing though. But, many subscribers including myself have already unboxed it since it released two days ago.
Yo that microphone is actually very very good.
Got one yesterday, best controller hands down
I got my PS5 yesterday and this is one of the best controllers ever made. I still think the Switch Pro is more comfortable but this is damn close.
It's a terribly uncomfortable controller. It's cool though I just wish it could have all the features with the same shape as the DS4
The pro controller is very comfortable imo, if it's as good or better I'm impressed
I am glad the DS incorporated more of the boomerang controller design without really making it visible.
While the controller will be good I'm telling you people with bigger hands or longer fingers will end up feeling the hard edge of the bottom of the handle with your pinky finger. This was a concern immediately after it was revealed and I confirmed this after my direct preorder came in the mail last week.
You can easily hold it in a slightly different manner, but it's easy to find your pinky rubbing the edge.
And they shouldve brought back the ds1/2/3 thumbsticks. That design allowed your thumb to rest anywhere and be accurate, whereas these donut sticks force you to place your thumb along the edge.
from my own experince, better than all the previous dualshock pads with better triggers and most importantly, better shoulder button placement making them almost as good as xbox controller ones, meaning you can now comfortably press the trigger and the shoulder button with the same finger without having to take your finger off the triggers, but not as good all round ergonomically as an xbox controller from the 360 onwards.
Forget the gimmicks as very few games will use them unless they are multi platform (look how many use the touch pad, suxasses, pressure sensitive buttons or trigger rumble on the xbox pads), button and stick layout (the latter is either the Wii-U for games that have very little use of the face buttons or the xbox pads for the rest, simply as the stick placement means your hands are more relaxed without stretching in any way) and overall ergonomics are more important as it needs to be comfortable to use over long periods. This why I have wireless adapter to use Xbox pads on my PS4 and a wired one for the Elite 2 controller, or even the Tartarus 2 keyboard for the PC so my hand is at a natural angle.
It may sound a minor thing, but for me, in the long term it just means more lest hand cramp or the like. On the plus side, mine is now linked to my Oculus Quest 2 as its a perfect colour co-ordinated match (I got it for the PC but I will stick to my xbox pads for now).
So can I use the controller microphone for my TH-cam channel?
I bet someone will release an entire album or podcast recorded from the controllers.
Every time I hear "mushy" I get a flashback to the original 3ds
I also like how the Dualsense looks like fangs
