Hall effect sticks would've been a real game changer since they literally cannot develop drift issues. Replaceable sticks is just a way to get people to keep paying for something that could've and should've been fixed.
@L_O_W_K_E_Y-G Legit criticism is not "crying." This controller has some real inadequacies i.e. literally 50% less battery capacity, no hall sticks, only 2 paddles etc. Telling me the sky is blue is inconsequential to pointing out these flaws.
@@tappersreviews4677 I agree with you. I bought the last of us 2 ps4 controller and it had a scratch on it so I returned it for a new one. That new one also had a scratch in it but I was done at that point to return it. Unfortunately This new controller had drift right out of the box and it’s just crazy how this was the case. I have been through 8 ps4 controllers because of drift and this to me is insane because these controllers aren’t cheap. It made me so frustrated that I just moved away from console to pc gaming. The Gulikit King Kong pro 2 is a controller that has magnetic potentiometers/ joysticks that have zero drift and Sony would never move to this type of technology because they want their controllers to break so that you can buy a brand new one that would eventually develop drift again. It is truly sickening.
A good point to highlight about the stick modules is they're interchangeable, so you don't have to buy a replacement module for your FIRST exchange. If you're experiencing stick drift on the right stick, you can swap it with the left stick. Most FPS gamers WON'T experience drift on the left stick FIRST due to less wear, so swapping them after you first experience drift on the right stick might save you $20. Additionally, if you start to experience sprinting issues in games like CoD, you can try customizing the left stick settings to fix it. The sensitivity curve & deadzone can help.
Yup when CoD allowed me to adjust my dead zones in game I was able to overcome the movement issues I was experiencing by reducing the outer limit, no new controller necessary. This having all those settings at system level means the lifespan of the sticks can be stretched that much longer before needing replacement.
@@Whatdapak A lot of games let you increase the deadzone in-game. Increasing the left stick deadzone percentage should help. If it's THAT bad, it might need to be well over 10%. Your left stick input threshold will be less responsive, but at least there won't be idle drift.
One improvement I've noticed that the Edge has over the Dualsense is that the area where you rest your pinky has been rounded compared to being more angular/pointy on the original controller. I've seen a few people complain about that on the Dualsense because it would jab into your fingers causing fatigue over time
I've only had mine for a few days. Even though I've not delved too deep into customization like stick sensitivity (yet), I absolutely love it. It looks great and feels even better. I feel I more control than I do with the standard which tend to feel slippery. But the biggest selling point for me is that it takes less than a minute to swap out the sticks. Anyone that has experienced stick drift knows your controller is pretty much a paperweight now. That is no longer the case. 8-10 hours of battery life is perfectly fine with me. I do not get to sit and run for that long in one setting anyway. I can easily sit it on my charging dock when I'm away. Even those who can sit for that long. the cord is SUPER long. This is a beautiful design that does make you think given the price tag. But in a relatively short amount of time, it's paying for itself and then some.
@@osklud well over a year later and I still love it. Still on the same stick and has not begun to drift yet. While the battery does not last as long as the standard controllers, it still lasts more than long enough for me. I don’t sit and game for 6+ hours at a time. And even if I did or left it off the charger. The plug that comes with it is very long. It delivers for me.
I got this controller, and it is so good. It has excellent tactile feel to all buttons, and metal paddles fit my hand really well. The one item which surprised me most was the R2, L2 trigger limiters. It makes the response clearly faster. I use middle position, somehow it is most ergonomic for me.
@@StardustLegacyFighter well I got one a day street that comment I’m loving to do far the cable is long enough that I can have it permanently wired. I’ll fix the grip when the time comes.
@@StardustLegacyFighter Who plays more than 10 hours? Ppl who dont touch grass it is The rubber cannot peel off Are u saying thid bc seeing bad reviews? What about u get one
One thing that no one has mentioned is that you can actually swap out the right and left back paddles to have them more protruding. I like it better that way
I’m getting 6+ hours of playtime with this controller. Not sure who the hell needs to play longer than that without taking a break… seems like a giant non-issue to me. Worst case scenario is you can plug it in with the 3m braided cord for a while. Or use any of your normal dual sense controller for an hour or so (gasp).
6 hours is weak dude. I can use an Xbox elite controller and easily not have to charge it for a whole week. And that’s with playing over 8 hours a day. So yes 6 hours for a 200 dollar controller is a friggin ripoff.
I love it. Just got mine yesterday and it feels amazing. Has a decent weight to it and the buttons feel amazing to press. The back triggers are nice having two options. Dome triggers for people who use their middle fingers and paddles for people who use their ring fingers. Its something i need to get used to using but i can already see the difference. Its definitely worth the buy if you dont like the xbox layout or the feeling of a scuff.
The mouse click triggers seems useless, I had a Scuf impact and it was literally like a mouse click. Awesome for a FPS. Can you tell me more about this? Drift problem still here? My dualsense died after 3 months, crazy to pay brand new controller for my PS5 and it last 3 months. I really take care of it..
I like the fact that you can replace the sticks, and I think Microsoft should implement the same idea for their elite controllers too because stick drift is a real pain
The problem with the stick is a created problem, the earlier controllers never had these problems, the manufacturers introduced this problem on purpose so that we buy new controllers every year. Google it that's unfortunately really true...
Microsoft is going to end getting Law suit if they replicate don't you guys know copyright and patent Laws intellectual thief is against the law in the United States that would be a very dumb idea of Xtheft?
@@lukeblersch1444 Yeah I do know about copyright and patent law, Xbox made their sticks removable albeit magnetically and also made them different heights Xbox was the first to do that as far as I know, and Sony wanted their version of a , for want of a better term their version of an "Elite 2" Controller and blatantly stole the idea of detachable sticks and implemented the same idea, but just in the "Sony way", just not magnetic, so are they in breach of copyright and patent laws?
I just now discovered this is out, and I'm jumping on it! It's a good price I think. I've been waiting so long for them to come out with the back button attachments, and this is better! I'm so excited. Buying them now
@@GHXST_YT. Not quete, but it's close enough for me as a console player. The first one I got died on me, it just wouldn't turn on randomly, and ended up buying another controller. That's how much I like it. I use it for every game. The customization is amazing, I personally found the price worth it. I only use my regular controller for media and For Honor.
just picked mine up & Sony really executed this very well for the average consumer gamer the build quality is great solid weight details on controller are precise & exactly what to expect from Sony love the different types of interchangeable parts can only wait to see what they add next!

PS5 PRO 💙 - The replaceable sticks will be the reason I buy this. I had accepted my skill ceiling playing COD bc I refused to buy another SCUF just to get a small leg up - knowing it would break in 6 months and be $200 down the drain. $20 for a new thumb stick when they start to go is brilliant. My only other concern is the durability of the back buttons. Another shortcoming of the SCUF.
Spawn… i. can. not. wait! As soon as I get the notification that my controller has been delivered, I’m leaving work early 😅. Great video and super informational …you’ve saved me a lot of time. I’ll be able to boot up already knowing what’s up. Ps5 Pro
I usually play shooters without any vibration, and I sit next to my PS5, so I'm actually happy they haven't gone for a really big battery that increases the weight of the controller significantly. I also never play more that 5 hours in one sitting 😆
I think the reason why people are frustrated is because like everything, batteries are consumable parts. The more charging cycles you put them through, the shorter every charge is going to be. Right now your five hour gaming session is fine on a brand new battery. But in six months when you have charged your battery every single time you play you’re going to notice the issues with the battery. And for a $200 controller, it seems like an oversight. By comparison, the Xbox elite controller, has a 40 hour battery life. Which means per gaming session, it will undergo less charge cycles than this controller. Which means the battery will last longer. I mean on the regular dual sense controller that I have had for about a year now, it only lasts about seven hours. And that’s with all the extra features turned off. When I had them on, I could barely get 4. Compared to launch, that’s a big drop off
@@SMGeezus Got my Dualsense Edge yesterday. The battery is definitely not a "SeRioUs issue.." But I get your meaning when it comes to the price point I´ve had my dualsense for 2 years, and battery feels the same almost. Comparison, I got Xbox elite controller for my PC, feels like total crap in my hands tbh. Bad quality overall, stickdrfit is CRAZY after just 4 months.. I will take a 5-8 hour battery instead of 40 hours aaaany day of the year if it means I get to use this Edge controller instead :)
@@SMGeezus realistically. Have you ever had to change the battery on a controller ? I have a 9 year old ps4 controller still running strong. People are grasping at straws.
@Nico Gonzalez a regular lithium ion battery can handle a minimum of 2000 charge cycles. At 4 hours a session that's over 400 DAYS of charge time. If you put that much time into gaming. Go outside and get sunlight.
Ive never owned a playstation, so I don’t know a whole lot about their controllers, but the customizable thumb sticks and the carrying case with a hatch for charging alone were really cool features to me, on top of everything else that it has to offer
Mine arrived yesterday and it's my favorite custom controller I have already. I have 2 scuf reflex pros and 2 Battle beavers and the Edge has taken my favorite spot over my battle beavers so far. Only time will tell how it holds up though.
The adjustable triggers are cool but in COD you can flip the controls to use L1 and R1 to aim and shoot and that is so much better. You get the instant shots with any controller.
I will definitely be getting one of these soon. As tempting as the Scuff controller is with the click triggers for FPS games, this is versatile across various genres, still customisable and most importantly... first-party! PS5 PRO 💙
@@IM-SO-DW I was finna say the same this is a w Sony did this right idk what they did but but the edge is noticeably more comfortable than the original
@@IM-SO-DW there are difirent version of the ps5 scuf mine has haptic feedback and 4 buttons on the back that are easily pressed with one finger each side
I loved the customization of the scuff and when it was brand new it was the best controller ive ever had.. but within 4 months i had the most aggressive drift ive ever had and i MELTED the thumb stick with just regualr daily use. When i say melted i mean just that. The stick was disfigured and smooth. My scuff headset stands strong though to this day(going on 2 years with it) Wish it was wireless though
@@chunkylilpeanut you think you can buy a ps5 duelsense with all these features for 100?? The regular controller is $70 already lol that’s just not possible. Other legit modded controllers are 200+. It may cost $100 to have your current ps5 controller modded but then you still would need that $70 controller to begin with which would essentially make the controller 170+ still. And controllers that are simply custom colored are about 130
@@nekaneka-lo2js Yeah a little bit of a squeak, nothing game changing tho. you won’t hear it when you have headphones on at all and if you don’t, just think of it like the L3 and R3 click. similar volume
Battery is actually *33% smaller. Capacity sacrificed for the back buttons, I saw in a teardown. Not an issue for me personally, but I'm just sharing why it doesn't last as long. I don't believe most people genuinely interested in such a controller have battery life high on their priority list anyway, bigger "con" might be only 2 back buttons, which is also fine by me I only need 2.
@@VWayyyyyyyy well I didn't just say most people. I said "most people genuinely interested in such a controller" improve your comprehension and don't pick out words to misrepresent context.
@@WylieWebster yeah well can the elite change out it’s thumb sticks like that? Didn’t think so. There’s pros and cons to both. Competitive gamers will always run their controllers wired for less input lag anyways which is what this controller is mainly for. So for many people using this controller it could be a 1 hr battery life and it still wouldn’t matter because it’s always plugged in.
Mine is supposed to be delivered today, and after watching your review I am more excited than I already was! The modular thumb sticks are nice, but for me I can't way to use the back buttons for various things in some of my FPS games. You also covered some things I didn't know about the controller such as the trigger adjustment and the feel of the controller. Great review! I can't wait to become a #PS5Pro :)
@@mikem2253 I really dig the controller. I still need to get more games with it and I want to see how it lasts over the long term. However I love the feel of it, the trigger adjustments, and configuration abilities.
I like pretty much everything about this controller. The only issue I have is the price 😂. Personally, im not comfortable dropping $200 on a controller but that may change in the future.
Considering the regular controller is 70 plus bucks with tax you might as well just spend the extra buck if your in need of a controller and have to buy 1.
Ok it is $130 more. Im just the type of person that is willing to pay an extra $100 if I feel like what im buying is a step up. Which the controller clearly offers a lot more than a standard controller.
@@Dwatts24111 also you do have a point that the edge controller has SO MANY NEW FEATURES. It's not hard to see the value of having button layout presets, trigger stops, improved grip, interchangeable thumbs ticks etc.
I'm surprised that Sony didn't call the backpaddles buttons L4 and R4 instead of LB and RB which sounds to me just like the word "button". Not trying to nitpick, it just seems like a better way of identifying them to me. Also, the charging cord lock is probably the best addition to a controller besides both having replaceable analog sticks and a removable cover for said sticks (would still prefer removable hall effect sticks along with the housing case but that's just me), since I can't count how many times I've ruined charging cords by cords being yanked out of my controller(s) by me or other outside factors. The lock should be a universal addition to more then just the dualsense edge if it works like it's intended to.
Was unaware the whole analog came off, so if u get stick drift u can replace them for £20. That's a gamechanger for me and almost justifies the price haha
It's a hefty price tag, but the controller will basically last you forever. The completely swappable thumbsticks is the holy grail feature of this controller. This is what wears down most on controllers and the option to completely replace the whole module is absolute perfect. If they wear out, u just get a new module and basically have a new controller...
@@guylee0 if you play fps alot, you'd know that left thumb stick stops working after 3-4 months. It's 75 bucks for a new controller. I literally have 8 ps5 controllers because of the broken left stick. The dualsense else was a god send.
@IndieGames4K I actually just got the ps5 but have repaired multiple ps4 & ps3 (ps3 mostly) controllers and can definitely agree with that as well. I don't play as much anymore but I'm definitely feeling that easier stick replacement 😌 just in case...
Just got mine a few minutes ago. I am a bit disappointed that the trigger stops still have substantial travel even in the shortest setting. Also, I didn’t realize how much of a crutch using 4 paddles has been for me. I caught myself wanting more buttons on the back already. I’ll still keep mine, but I hope they have a 2nd gen already in the works for next year.
The fact that there are only 2 back buttons and the triggers are why I am still leaning more towards the Razer Wolverine even though I would lose out on some PS5 functionality. I use my controllers as much, if not more on PC, than I do the PS5 anyway, especially for shooters. The triggers on the Wolverine can be set to where they are about the same as a mouse click. The Wolverine also has 6 extra buttons. 4 on the back of the controller and 2 extra buttons up top where the the bumpers and triggers are. Razer has a patent on these 2 extra buttons so you will not find them on any other controller. I had the DualSense Edge on pre-order but cancelled it.
Thanks for this review. I am an older gamer (56) and I have developed some nerve issues over the years. Being able to customize this and remap buttons is a game changer. Think I’ll be picking up one of these.
Yes absolutely. I just picked up a second hand one from a store and it has changed my gaming within 2 hrs. Remappable buttons with the extra paddles has truly enhanced my pvp. Love it.
Great review. I've owned a few controllers now with back buttons from both Scuf and Aim Controllers. This new controller looks great and I'm 100% going to buy one when they become available in different colours. My other controllers are all custom colours and i think this looks a bit boring in white.
I remember the way the ps3 controllers were built. I still use bumper swap in game setting to get more of that trigger feel, plus I feel I aim better. I do miss the rounded higher sitting thumbsticks though, but why get this over a scuf if you’re already spending $200+.
I got mine today thanks for posting the video will really help me to customize it I couldn't see the symbols on the body like you showed them but I agree feels nice to hold stay safe look forward to more videos from you
Picked this thing up from the ps5 store. Can’t wait for it. It cost a good penny but down the road it will all worth it. Since I already replaced two os5 controller from the thumb stick always running away from me 😅. I sit my controller down and my character is off running amid to nowhere.
Mine liked to spin, or would suddenly dart into oncoming gunfire in PvP 🤣 I kept thinking my "team"mates were pushing me outta the way/sacrificing me, then when I started moving in the social zone w/o touching the stick... yeah. Was time for a new controller.
Impressive stuff. It's by far the most advanced controller I've seen. Of course it's expensive, but already owning an AIM ps5 controller, I must say the difference in features is overwhelming in favor of the PS5. The FN buttons do feel like a bit of overkill. They're super nice, but since you can also remap and save up profiles in the PS5 I'd rather have and extra two back-buttons to support all 'right thumb' buttons. As far as the pricing goes, you'd have to compare them within other controllers in the same segment. Looking from that perspective they're not expensive at all. In fact, gaming is a really inexpensive hobby when you think of it. Think about for how many hours you'll be using a controller like this.. All in all, great stuff.
Didn't know that and I was looking into buying one hence why I'm watching this video so thanks . And when TH-camrs say " they sent me the product but all opinions are my own" is bullshit . They need to keep good with these companies so they continue to get the free stuff to review do videos which makes them money . Imagine they say don't buy it then Sony might not send him anything and that's potential loss Revenu
My main concern having owned many many many pro controllers are the paddels wearing off over time, it’s not replaceable like sticks are, wish there was a way to address it. Not to mention how scummy it is for Sony and MS to not have magnetic sticks to get rid of stick drift as an issue just to get a quick buck off of bad quality sticks, gotta love how they are more of an issue recently allowed to the last 10 years cuz of Nintendo, what a coincidence!!
It’s my birthday today and I bought the Edge because my friends have been begging me to get a third controller so I figured why not this controller 🤷♂️
nice demo review! personally i think the glossy plastic looks ugly. fingerprint fears aside. Also a 12 month warranty feels a little short considering the parts replacement nature of the device and considering the price.
While I appreciate the fact that they're thinking about stick drift for the player, the easiest way to get around it would be you use a hall effect sensor, I've had to send my Elite series 2 back under warranty for drift and after hearing that what I would get back was a refurbished one and not mine but fixed, that to me was a big question mark as I take great care of my stuff and it still failed, I bought a Gulikit Kingkong 2 and tbh, other than the lack of back paddles and it's lower 100hz polling rate which sometimes bothered me at the start it's great, after seeing this controller, I'm just disappointed that rather than fixing the cause of the issue, they designed an entire hot swap system so they could still find a way to sell you something, elite seems to still have some advantages despite probably being due a refresh such as better hair triggers and in my opinion more versatile rear paddle set up but I could have been persuaded to over look it if Sony did something ground breaking, just feeling like more of the same unfortunately.
ha , that seems suspect asf i would annotate all the serial numbers of any electronic device you purchase in case of something like this , wanted to send my controller from sony over but heard they were having issues like this as well so i just kept it and switched it off w a best buy controller
@@ron6505 luckily when you're doing the return process on a xbox product it registers to your account when you first use it even on pc because of native support, they ask you to confirm the serial number as well when booking it in but there's lots of red tape, don't send any accessories as they're unlikely to be returned, so cases, stick caps and paddles ect, just feels a bit like while I am getting it replaced, I have questions about the condition of what will turn up? Like is it fully refurbished? Just been owned before or is the stick going to let go in 3 month because it's already worn, doesn't help that I'm super picky about things because I build, fix and look after my stuff myself usually, replacement stick for it was only £5 on ebay as well so probably end up doing that sooner than I'd like 😂😂

@@ron6505 When you say shipping covered do you mean insurance? Or do you mean that Sony make you pay to send their defective crap back? 🙃 I keep seeing all the liquid metal leakage issues online now and I just kinda have to laugh at what the Sony engineers were thinking, I've used tons of different thermal pastes over the years and one of the best I've used is like £6 for a 15g tube 😂 I just can't believe that they thought a boundary layer of foam would be a long term fix when it's stuck next to a 200w apu 😅
@@elysian3623 shipping coverage, they pay for the shipping of their bad products, i recently bought mine about 5 months ago and i haven’t had any major issues with it besides the game crashing a couple times but has gotten fixed with recent updates. im also gathering parts to build a starter / budget pc
You should have mentioned the following: - Shown the viewer the exact parts of the rear that are made from rubber and described how it feels. - Talked about the back buttons how they are magnetically attached and how easily they can be swapped out of removed ( I love this by the way) - You should also mention that sony and other companies do not currently sell replacement thumbsticks (they only sell the complete analogue module for £20 which comes with only a default ps thumbstick that we are used to on normal dual sense controllers.) These are what I think could be the final bits of info for anyone contemplating spending half the price of a ps5 for a controller. PS I have one since release day and I'm in love knowing when I destroy the analogue from playing cod I can just hot swap it soon as I see stick drift.
My friends the white rubber at back gone yellow already so to me I would but if they released a black one but I shall stick to my standard black one I love the duel sense
The locking mechanism is huge for anyone using a controller on pc. Since it connects through cord only and not Bluetooth any movement could make the controller disconnect so the locking would fix that. Big W
Seeing as the glossy case pops off, that gives you the option of wrapping the glossy face if it does end up getting really scratched up, bringing more customization.
I feel like this controller is just sony saying "hey if u want working sticks, that's fine, but first pay us $200 and then pay us again for new sticks." Ultimately it's just taking money from repair people
I love this controller, the adjustable L and R2s are great for FPS, but the paddles are a bit awkward when holding the controller. The back buttons are much better though.
I haven't even tried the Dual sense controller nor have i tried the PS5 because im waiting for the PS5 pro and they just brought out this one ehen eill i experience all of these
This is awesome, but I won't use quite a bit of the features, and I can do a little soldering, so a $40 kit from ExtremeRate to do the most important thing is good enough for me Huge respect to Sony for making the thumbsticks not only replaceable, but CRAZY easy to do as well. That should be one of many user serviceable features going forward on all controllers. No more e-waste!
just got mine few days ago, best controller, for me atleast. for pc there are better options but for ps5 i think its the best if you want the adaptive triggers and stuff. the option to just get new sticks is amazing. ok "i could buy like 4 normal controllers for the price" but no. the idea here is to have a pro controller... and a new one is 250€ so 20€ for new stick is better in every way. sure they could of used the kinda sticks that dont get drift but...yeah. then the battery life, I havent noticed much difference to my old normal one its about 5-8h and thats fine, i dont mind charging it often and it also comes with a long cord if you dont have one. so you can play while charging/wired from far (i have about 2m to my tv so a long cord is nice to have). then the 2 paddles are enough for me, ik some might want/need 4 but oh well.
Which is the BEST feature on this controller? For me it's the adjustable triggers 💙
I agree, the triggers alone make me want to buy it.
Imo this controller is better than anything scuf has released
The trigger stops are the best feature especially for us COD players
I agree 👍
For me it's the whole customization via the software on the PS5, can't wait to get my hands on this!
The replaceable thumb sticks are a massive game changer.
Yes no more drift
Hall effect sticks would've been a real game changer since they literally cannot develop drift issues. Replaceable sticks is just a way to get people to keep paying for something that could've and should've been fixed.

I got this controller, and it is so good. It has excellent tactile feel to all buttons, and metal paddles fit my hand really well. The one item which surprised me most was the R2, L2 trigger limiters. It makes the response clearly faster. I use middle position, somehow it is most ergonomic for me.
How much you get yours for?
Thank you for mentioning that it fits in the original Dualsense charging dock. Not enough other videos on it mention that.
I love that the custom thumb sticks look like previous PS controllers, reminds me of the ps2 and ps3 thumb sticks
I've had it for about 6 months now and no complaints so far

One thing that no one has mentioned is that you can actually swap out the right and left back paddles to have them more protruding. I like it better that way
I came here to comment this..I did that by accident and it worked better than expected.

@@KeeganMadden-z8g stick drift to bro I get it a lot on 2k
I’m getting 6+ hours of playtime with this controller. Not sure who the hell needs to play longer than that without taking a break… seems like a giant non-issue to me. Worst case scenario is you can plug it in with the 3m braided cord for a while. Or use any of your normal dual sense controller for an hour or so (gasp).
Only 6 hours a day?, you just have not embraced the gamer way. How disappointing 😞
Same.
6 hours is weak dude. I can use an Xbox elite controller and easily not have to charge it for a whole week. And that’s with playing over 8 hours a day. So yes 6 hours for a 200 dollar controller is a friggin ripoff.
@@Photogeek611- I still like the controller. I never play longer than 4 hours in one sitting.
@@Photogeek611I am spoiled by XB’s elite controller, real shame that the games I enjoy playing are on PS

UPS just delivered mines a few hours ago. This controller is literally a game changer. I love all of the features man!
How do I buy one
@@JUMPSHOT99 At the playstation store.
Does it have changeable thumb stick tension?
i think the real game changer is the replaceable stick module's if they can't fully fix stick drift might as well make it easy to replace
They can fix it but choose not to. They cud easily make magnetic sticks but they money hungry
@@Mo_R9yes and 🐑🐑🐑 keep buying it
I love it. Just got mine yesterday and it feels amazing. Has a decent weight to it and the buttons feel amazing to press. The back triggers are nice having two options. Dome triggers for people who use their middle fingers and paddles for people who use their ring fingers. Its something i need to get used to using but i can already see the difference. Its definitely worth the buy if you dont like the xbox layout or the feeling of a scuff.
The mouse click triggers seems useless, I had a Scuf impact and it was literally like a mouse click. Awesome for a FPS. Can you tell me more about this? Drift problem still here? My dualsense died after 3 months, crazy to pay brand new controller for my PS5 and it last 3 months. I really take care of it..
This should be the base controller 😂
With all those features, ok bud 😂
@@xtremegamer78 I mean they’d sure as hell get more money if it was the base.
@@MrAntonAlwinthey'd have to make the ps5 more expensive tho
I like the fact that you can replace the sticks, and I think Microsoft should implement the same idea for their elite controllers too because stick drift is a real pain
The problem with the stick is a created problem, the earlier controllers never had these problems, the manufacturers introduced this problem on purpose so that we buy new controllers every year. Google it that's unfortunately really true...
Microsoft is going to end getting Law suit if they replicate don't you guys know copyright and patent Laws intellectual thief is against the law in the United States that would be a very dumb idea of Xtheft?
@@lukeblersch1444 Yeah I do know about copyright and patent law, Xbox made their sticks removable albeit magnetically and also made them different heights Xbox was the first to do that as far as I know, and Sony wanted their version of a , for want of a better term their version of an "Elite 2" Controller and blatantly stole the idea of detachable sticks and implemented the same idea, but just in the "Sony way", just not magnetic, so are they in breach of copyright and patent laws?
@@ZINDRO_KBM yeah, sad isn't it
I personally use a scuf instinct pro bcuz i didnt wanna deal with the elite🤦🏽♂️😭🐐
I just now discovered this is out, and I'm jumping on it! It's a good price I think. I've been waiting so long for them to come out with the back button attachments, and this is better! I'm so excited. Buying them now
Good price 😭
@@geneticdiabetic9923it is,or would you rather get a Scuf Reflex FPS for €100 more and get stick drift so you can buy a new one?
Did you get it and what do you think about the fastest mode of the triggers,is it almost like mouse clicks.
@@GHXST_YT. Not quete, but it's close enough for me as a console player. The first one I got died on me, it just wouldn't turn on randomly, and ended up buying another controller. That's how much I like it. I use it for every game. The customization is amazing, I personally found the price worth it. I only use my regular controller for media and For Honor.
The only review I was waiting for ❤
I appreciate the support as always.
Facts!
😂 Fam'
just picked mine up & Sony really executed this very well for the average consumer gamer the build quality is great solid weight details on controller are precise & exactly what to expect from Sony love the different types of interchangeable parts can only wait to see what they add next!

PS5 PRO 💙 - The replaceable sticks will be the reason I buy this. I had accepted my skill ceiling playing COD bc I refused to buy another SCUF just to get a small leg up - knowing it would break in 6 months and be $200 down the drain. $20 for a new thumb stick when they start to go is brilliant. My only other concern is the durability of the back buttons. Another shortcoming of the SCUF.
Spawn… i. can. not. wait! As soon as I get the notification that my controller has been delivered, I’m leaving work early 😅. Great video and super informational …you’ve saved me a lot of time. I’ll be able to boot up already knowing what’s up.

The amount you can change on there is crazy 🤯
It's a game changer!
I usually play shooters without any vibration, and I sit next to my PS5, so I'm actually happy they haven't gone for a really big battery that increases the weight of the controller significantly.
I also never play more that 5 hours in one sitting 😆
Totally agree all this battery life stuff does my head in
I think the reason why people are frustrated is because like everything, batteries are consumable parts. The more charging cycles you put them through, the shorter every charge is going to be. Right now your five hour gaming session is fine on a brand new battery. But in six months when you have charged your battery every single time you play you’re going to notice the issues with the battery. And for a $200 controller, it seems like an oversight. By comparison, the Xbox elite controller, has a 40 hour battery life. Which means per gaming session, it will undergo less charge cycles than this controller. Which means the battery will last longer.
I mean on the regular dual sense controller that I have had for about a year now, it only lasts about seven hours. And that’s with all the extra features turned off. When I had them on, I could barely get 4. Compared to launch, that’s a big drop off
@@SMGeezus Got my Dualsense Edge yesterday. The battery is definitely not a "SeRioUs issue.." But I get your meaning when it comes to the price point
I´ve had my dualsense for 2 years, and battery feels the same almost.
Comparison, I got Xbox elite controller for my PC, feels like total crap in my hands tbh. Bad quality overall, stickdrfit is CRAZY after just 4 months.. I will take a 5-8 hour battery instead of 40 hours aaaany day of the year if it means I get to use this Edge controller instead :)
@@SMGeezus realistically. Have you ever had to change the battery on a controller ? I have a 9 year old ps4 controller still running strong. People are grasping at straws.
@Nico Gonzalez a regular lithium ion battery can handle a minimum of 2000 charge cycles. At 4 hours a session that's over 400 DAYS of charge time.
If you put that much time into gaming. Go outside and get sunlight.
Ive never owned a playstation, so I don’t know a whole lot about their controllers, but the customizable thumb sticks and the carrying case with a hatch for charging alone were really cool features to me, on top of everything else that it has to offer
PS5 Pro 💙💙
This controller is sick! Thanks for the great review on it.
Mine just came 5 minutes ago ( UPS ). 👍🏽
Congrats! Enjoy the new controller.
best review of the new edge controller! i was on the fence but now i'm buying this, you convinced me
Mine arrived yesterday and it's my favorite custom controller I have already. I have 2 scuf reflex pros and 2 Battle beavers and the Edge has taken my favorite spot over my battle beavers so far. Only time will tell how it holds up though.
Just like the regular duel sense battery life is shit and life span
The adjustable triggers are cool but in COD you can flip the controls to use L1 and R1 to aim and shoot and that is so much better. You get the instant shots with any controller.
My PS5 Edge comes today. I’m stoked. I’m gonna have to watch this video a few more times because it has a lot more functions than I thought.
How are you liking it so far? And if you play first person shooters like cod how is it? Has it increased your gameplay dramatically
I will definitely be getting one of these soon. As tempting as the Scuff controller is with the click triggers for FPS games, this is versatile across various genres, still customisable and most importantly... first-party! PS5 PRO 💙
Also the scuff removes haptic feed back this controller keeps it
@@IM-SO-DW I was finna say the same this is a w Sony did this right idk what they did but but the edge is noticeably more comfortable than the original
@@IM-SO-DW there are difirent version of the ps5 scuf mine has haptic feedback and 4 buttons on the back that are easily pressed with one finger each side
I loved the customization of the scuff and when it was brand new it was the best controller ive ever had.. but within 4 months i had the most aggressive drift ive ever had and i MELTED the thumb stick with just regualr daily use. When i say melted i mean just that. The stick was disfigured and smooth. My scuff headset stands strong though to this day(going on 2 years with it) Wish it was wireless though
@@OptimusCrlme just can’t beat the durability of a first-party product. Besides, nobody wants to spend £200 every 4 months lol
Damn, that 200 price tag is still easily worth all that customization. This is a big step up from previous controllers imo.
@@chunkylilpeanut you think you can buy a ps5 duelsense with all these features for 100?? The regular controller is $70 already lol that’s just not possible. Other legit modded controllers are 200+. It may cost $100 to have your current ps5 controller modded but then you still would need that $70 controller to begin with which would essentially make the controller 170+ still. And controllers that are simply custom colored are about 130

Glad it was helpful!
Battery is actually *33% smaller. Capacity sacrificed for the back buttons, I saw in a teardown. Not an issue for me personally, but I'm just sharing why it doesn't last as long. I don't believe most people genuinely interested in such a controller have battery life high on their priority list anyway, bigger "con" might be only 2 back buttons, which is also fine by me I only need 2.
You talking like a fish to believe most people don't care about battery life.
@@VWayyyyyyyy well I didn't just say most people. I said "most people genuinely interested in such a controller" improve your comprehension and don't pick out words to misrepresent context.
@@WylieWebster both true.
@@WylieWebster yeah well can the elite change out it’s thumb sticks like that? Didn’t think so. There’s pros and cons to both. Competitive gamers will always run their controllers wired for less input lag anyways which is what this controller is mainly for. So for many people using this controller it could be a 1 hr battery life and it still wouldn’t matter because it’s always plugged in.
@@WylieWebster because they ARE going to fail. All joysticks on all controllers eventually fail and start to drift. It is what it is.
Mine is supposed to be delivered today, and after watching your review I am more excited than I already was! The modular thumb sticks are nice, but for me I can't way to use the back buttons for various things in some of my FPS games. You also covered some things I didn't know about the controller such as the trigger adjustment and the feel of the controller. Great review!

I like pretty much everything about this controller. The only issue I have is the price 😂. Personally, im not comfortable dropping $200 on a controller but that may change in the future.
Considering the regular controller is 70 plus bucks with tax you might as well just spend the extra buck if your in need of a controller and have to buy 1.
@@Dwatts24111 extra buck? That's a whole extra 130 dollars, the price of an entire used legacy console 😂 consumer cope never fails to give me a laugh
Ok it is $130 more. Im just the type of person that is willing to pay an extra $100 if I feel like what im buying is a step up. Which the controller clearly offers a lot more than a standard controller.
@@Dwatts24111 idk man, 130 extra dollars still seems like a lot to me.
@@Dwatts24111 also you do have a point that the edge controller has SO MANY NEW FEATURES. It's not hard to see the value of having button layout presets, trigger stops, improved grip, interchangeable thumbs ticks etc.
I thing I only change I'd make is to add 2 more under buttons like Xbox
11minutes to talk about a controller. So in-depth and covered everything. Fantastic review!
Thank you 🙏
I think it'll be much more worthwhile once there's some 3rd party options for the replaceable parts.
This is the proof of concept, vote with your wallet and show them that this is what people want
I'm surprised that Sony didn't call the backpaddles buttons L4 and R4 instead of LB and RB which sounds to me just like the word "button". Not trying to nitpick, it just seems like a better way of identifying them to me. Also, the charging cord lock is probably the best addition to a controller besides both having replaceable analog sticks and a removable cover for said sticks (would still prefer removable hall effect sticks along with the housing case but that's just me), since I can't count how many times I've ruined charging cords by cords being yanked out of my controller(s) by me or other outside factors. The lock should be a universal addition to more then just the dualsense edge if it works like it's intended to.
BL and BR would have been fitting.
L4 and R4 would've been better since Microsoft uses Lb and Rb for their bumpers
Third party companies are already saying they're making Hall effect sticks for the Edge.
@@PlayshotKalo what companys if you have names?
@@martin3288 like GuliKit
Was unaware the whole analog came off, so if u get stick drift u can replace them for £20. That's a gamechanger for me and almost justifies the price haha
Yeh it’s an awesome feature
Replacing the thmb sticks are a good idea if you can get them and I have had my back buttons go twice in 9 months
do the trigggers also affect the bumper buttons L1 and R1
No
It's a hefty price tag, but the controller will basically last you forever. The completely swappable thumbsticks is the holy grail feature of this controller. This is what wears down most on controllers and the option to completely replace the whole module is absolute perfect. If they wear out, u just get a new module and basically have a new controller...
Exactly why I got it. Basically 20 bucks for a new controller.
Agreed. Two hundred dollars is hefty though...I want one so bad but I don't know if I play enough to justify the purchase...😢
@@guylee0 if you play fps alot, you'd know that left thumb stick stops working after 3-4 months. It's 75 bucks for a new controller. I literally have 8 ps5 controllers because of the broken left stick. The dualsense else was a god send.
@IndieGames4K I actually just got the ps5 but have repaired multiple ps4 & ps3 (ps3 mostly) controllers and can definitely agree with that as well. I don't play as much anymore but I'm definitely feeling that easier stick replacement 😌 just in case...
@@guylee0 its an investment and will pay for itself 10x over. It's a good buy that you won't regret in the long run.
Just got mine a few minutes ago. I am a bit disappointed that the trigger stops still have substantial travel even in the shortest setting. Also, I didn’t realize how much of a crutch using 4 paddles has been for me. I caught myself wanting more buttons on the back already. I’ll still keep mine, but I hope they have a 2nd gen already in the works for next year.
Sell it and get a scuf
I got mine as well and I will have to disagree on the trigger stops. It’s a pretty big difference, and overall is amazing.
Ah man. I got my scuf and with the fps bumpers and 4 buttons is amazing Sony is getting there but like you said let’s hope gen 2 will be that!
@@sk8rix24 4 buttons seem excessive to me. You only really need jump and crouch
The fact that there are only 2 back buttons and the triggers are why I am still leaning more towards the Razer Wolverine even though I would lose out on some PS5 functionality. I use my controllers as much, if not more on PC, than I do the PS5 anyway, especially for shooters. The triggers on the Wolverine can be set to where they are about the same as a mouse click. The Wolverine also has 6 extra buttons. 4 on the back of the controller and 2 extra buttons up top where the the bumpers and triggers are. Razer has a patent on these 2 extra buttons so you will not find them on any other controller. I had the DualSense Edge on pre-order but cancelled it.
If it had 4 paddles i would buy it instantly
Thanks for this review. I am an older gamer (56) and I have developed some nerve issues over the years. Being able to customize this and remap buttons is a game changer. Think I’ll be picking up one of these.
Holy cow this is what I’ve been looking for lol definitely gonna pick it up!!!
Yes absolutely. I just picked up a second hand one from a store and it has changed my gaming within 2 hrs. Remappable buttons with the extra paddles has truly enhanced my pvp. Love it.
Great review.
I've owned a few controllers now with back buttons from both Scuf and Aim Controllers.
This new controller looks great and I'm 100% going to buy one when they become available in different colours. My other controllers are all custom colours and i think this looks a bit boring in white.
colors never came out. R.I.P😅😅😅
I remember the way the ps3 controllers were built. I still use bumper swap in game setting to get more of that trigger feel, plus I feel I aim better. I do miss the rounded higher sitting thumbsticks though, but why get this over a scuf if you’re already spending $200+.
Because Scuffs don’t have durability and are 3rd party… this is first party. Same goes for Xbox and the elite series 2 and core
This is so much better than any scuff
Scuf has a short warranty
Scuff using that custom screw is tight - Scuff stick drift is insane - one molecule of dust and I'm dowsing it in alcohol...again!
This controller also let's you keep the haptic feedback or turn it off and it's more sturdy
PS5 Pro 💙
Great review as always dude. This has been on my radar for a while
Thank you 🙏
I got mine today thanks for posting the video will really help me to customize it I couldn't see the symbols on the body like you showed them but I agree feels nice to hold stay safe look forward to more videos from you
Picked this thing up from the ps5 store. Can’t wait for it. It cost a good penny but down the road it will all worth it. Since I already replaced two os5 controller from the thumb stick always running away from me 😅. I sit my controller down and my character is off running amid to nowhere.
Mine liked to spin, or would suddenly dart into oncoming gunfire in PvP 🤣 I kept thinking my "team"mates were pushing me outta the way/sacrificing me, then when I started moving in the social zone w/o touching the stick... yeah. Was time for a new controller.
Miss my dad
Did he get the milk
@@itsourgamingworld2005bruh
Impressive stuff. It's by far the most advanced controller I've seen. Of course it's expensive, but already owning an AIM ps5 controller, I must say the difference in features is overwhelming in favor of the PS5. The FN buttons do feel like a bit of overkill. They're super nice, but since you can also remap and save up profiles in the PS5 I'd rather have and extra two back-buttons to support all 'right thumb' buttons. As far as the pricing goes, you'd have to compare them within other controllers in the same segment. Looking from that perspective they're not expensive at all. In fact, gaming is a really inexpensive hobby when you think of it. Think about for how many hours you'll be using a controller like this.. All in all, great stuff.
Imagine throwing your controller and your ps5 also starts flying because you put the usb c lock on your controller 😂😂
This happened yesterday
Can you setup the back buttons to be the left stick and right stick
For those coming wanting to buy one don’t sold out stick modules reason I bought this controller and now I’m stuck with a stick drift controller
How long did it take to stick drift 😢 sorry that F enn sucks
Replacement analog stick module are no longer available… why is no one talking about this? Do not buy this.
Didn't know that and I was looking into buying one hence why I'm watching this video so thanks . And when TH-camrs say " they sent me the product but all opinions are my own" is bullshit . They need to keep good with these companies so they continue to get the free stuff to review do videos which makes them money . Imagine they say don't buy it then Sony might not send him anything and that's potential loss Revenu
They are available lol
Just wish it had 4 back buttons
My main concern having owned many many many pro controllers are the paddels wearing off over time, it’s not replaceable like sticks are, wish there was a way to address it.
Not to mention how scummy it is for Sony and MS to not have magnetic sticks to get rid of stick drift as an issue just to get a quick buck off of bad quality sticks, gotta love how they are more of an issue recently allowed to the last 10 years cuz of Nintendo, what a coincidence!!
It’s my birthday today and I bought the Edge because my friends have been begging me to get a third controller so I figured why not this controller 🤷♂️
Great video as always
nice demo review! personally i think the glossy plastic looks ugly. fingerprint fears aside.
Also a 12 month warranty feels a little short considering the parts replacement nature of the device and considering the price.
While I appreciate the fact that they're thinking about stick drift for the player, the easiest way to get around it would be you use a hall effect sensor, I've had to send my Elite series 2 back under warranty for drift and after hearing that what I would get back was a refurbished one and not mine but fixed, that to me was a big question mark as I take great care of my stuff and it still failed, I bought a Gulikit Kingkong 2 and tbh, other than the lack of back paddles and it's lower 100hz polling rate which sometimes bothered me at the start it's great, after seeing this controller, I'm just disappointed that rather than fixing the cause of the issue, they designed an entire hot swap system so they could still find a way to sell you something, elite seems to still have some advantages despite probably being due a refresh such as better hair triggers and in my opinion more versatile rear paddle set up but I could have been persuaded to over look it if Sony did something ground breaking, just feeling like more of the same unfortunately.
ha , that seems suspect asf i would annotate all the serial numbers of any electronic device you purchase in case of something like this , wanted to send my controller from sony over but heard they were having issues like this as well so i just kept it and switched it off w a best buy controller
@@ron6505 luckily when you're doing the return process on a xbox product it registers to your account when you first use it even on pc because of native support, they ask you to confirm the serial number as well when booking it in but there's lots of red tape, don't send any accessories as they're unlikely to be returned, so cases, stick caps and paddles ect, just feels a bit like while I am getting it replaced, I have questions about the condition of what will turn up? Like is it fully refurbished? Just been owned before or is the stick going to let go in 3 month because it's already worn, doesn't help that I'm super picky about things because I build, fix and look after my stuff myself usually, replacement stick for it was only £5 on ebay as well so probably end up doing that sooner than I'd like 😂😂
@@elysian3623 yeah microsoft return / exchange policy seems a lot better than playstation , playstation doesn’t even have a serial number registrations for devices you’re getting fixed/refurbished , ive seen a reddit thread where a user said he had to send in his ps5 for a minor repair , and in return he got a different ps5 with a different serial number. wish these companies would make the return / exchange policy better for the consumer i would love to see that serial number option for sony products when sending them in for repairs , with shipping covered.
@@ron6505 When you say shipping covered do you mean insurance? Or do you mean that Sony make you pay to send their defective crap back? 🙃 I keep seeing all the liquid metal leakage issues online now and I just kinda have to laugh at what the Sony engineers were thinking, I've used tons of different thermal pastes over the years and one of the best I've used is like £6 for a 15g tube 😂 I just can't believe that they thought a boundary layer of foam would be a long term fix when it's stuck next to a 200w apu 😅
@@elysian3623 shipping coverage, they pay for the shipping of their bad products, i recently bought mine about 5 months ago and i haven’t had any major issues with it besides the game crashing a couple times but has gotten fixed with recent updates. im also gathering parts to build a starter / budget pc
I like it but $200?! Sheesh
I’ve already got a custom ps5 controller but after watching this I’ll be buying a dual sense edge
Yeah, at some point I need to try this out
Ps5 pro
Trigger adjust, thumb stick length adjustment, and it feels nice while holding it. Worth the $200 for me.
You should have mentioned the following:
- Shown the viewer the exact parts of the rear that are made from rubber and described how it feels.
- Talked about the back buttons how they are magnetically attached and how easily they can be swapped out of removed ( I love this by the way)
- You should also mention that sony and other companies do not currently sell replacement thumbsticks (they only sell the complete analogue module for £20 which comes with only a default ps thumbstick that we are used to on normal dual sense controllers.)
These are what I think could be the final bits of info for anyone contemplating spending half the price of a ps5 for a controller.
PS I have one since release day and I'm in love knowing when I destroy the analogue from playing cod I can just hot swap it soon as I see stick drift.
My friends the white rubber at back gone yellow already so to me I would but if they released a black one but I shall stick to my standard black one I love the duel sense
Getting mine today lad!!!!
Enjoy!
As an Xbox player I have to say the replaceable thumbsticks is an impressive feature 🙂
The locking mechanism is huge for anyone using a controller on pc. Since it connects through cord only and not Bluetooth any movement could make the controller disconnect so the locking would fix that. Big W
What are u talking about? U can connect it via bluetooth. Using dualsenseX which allows even haptic adjustments, ds4 or steam.
Seeing as the glossy case pops off, that gives you the option of wrapping the glossy face if it does end up getting really scratched up, bringing more customization.
Awesome video. I want this controller so bad now
I’m waiting for them to make one with 4 paddles. Then it would be perfect
That lockable charging adapter is brilliant, I've broken several connections playing while connected
I feel like this controller is just sony saying "hey if u want working sticks, that's fine, but first pay us $200 and then pay us again for new sticks." Ultimately it's just taking money from repair people
I love this controller, the adjustable L and R2s are great for FPS, but the paddles are a bit awkward when holding the controller. The back buttons are much better though.
A controller with 2 back paddles and different trigger distance, wow such innovation, wait we are not on 2018?
What is that headset u have by your monitor. Great video btw 😊
So. Can we tap straffe now?
Longer concave sticks please. I don't want to have to put Kontrolfreeks on this.
I haven't even tried the Dual sense controller nor have i tried the PS5 because im waiting for the PS5 pro and they just brought out this one ehen eill i experience all of these
This is awesome, but I won't use quite a bit of the features, and I can do a little soldering, so a $40 kit from ExtremeRate to do the most important thing is good enough for me
Huge respect to Sony for making the thumbsticks not only replaceable, but CRAZY easy to do as well. That should be one of many user serviceable features going forward on all controllers. No more e-waste!
Just ordered one it’s on its way lol,
How’s it holding up after abit of use?
just got mine few days ago, best controller, for me atleast. for pc there are better options but for ps5 i think its the best if you want the adaptive triggers and stuff. the option to just get new sticks is amazing. ok "i could buy like 4 normal controllers for the price" but no. the idea here is to have a pro controller... and a new one is 250€ so 20€ for new stick is better in every way. sure they could of used the kinda sticks that dont get drift but...yeah. then the battery life, I havent noticed much difference to my old normal one its about 5-8h and thats fine, i dont mind charging it often and it also comes with a long cord if you dont have one. so you can play while charging/wired from far (i have about 2m to my tv so a long cord is nice to have). then the 2 paddles are enough for me, ik some might want/need 4 but oh well.
Stick drift: I fear no controller…
*PS5 pro controller existing*
Stick drift: But that thing… that scares me…😂
Nah, hall effect joysticks scare it.
it still have
