- Thanks so much to Sony for sending me the DualSense Edge free to review! This is the first official 1st party Pro Controller option from Sony ever, built for the PS5! There's a lot of cool unique features it has to offer, though I can't help but feel there's a couple things it could have done even better...

I do like the modular design of the stick modules. I wish more things let you swap in and out parts when needed
Like the Switch's Joycons? That would be dope
They could pretty much eliminate stick drift but they refuse to use the electromagnetic sticks which have like 100x the durability
Btw the Edge controller does not come with the same battery with the regular dual sense,it’s a 1050mah instead of the original 1560mah in the dualsense.
I’m not a tech wiz so I’m gonna go with less=bad
Smaller battery. Ya not sure what they were thinking. I’m on the fence right now as to what to buy. Edge is tempting because I can just go buy it at store, where with a few others like hex and Carbxn you have to wait and hope it’s up to par plus if stick drift happens you can’t swap out. And Hall effect upgrades usually end up more than 200 on a good pro controller
Very cool but 200$ dollars? That’s way too much for the average gamer to buy
But in all seriousness it’s not marketed towards the average gamer. A regular controller will do just fine for the average gamer. It’s only worth the $200 if you’re going thru a controller a year or you like fine tuning your controls
Gotta love the sea of stars wallpaper on your laptop!!! Cannot wait for that game.
Even if you don’t like the glossy black piece around the sticks, Amazon sells tons of custom third party colors of it so you can swap it out
Let's hope they release more colors.
Sus
Grey PS1 throwback would be sweet
At Lease (Mayte) black!
fr, if they dropped their midnight black color, i’d buy asap
D-brand be like : fine... i gotta do it myself
Honestly this looks so righteous, despite the shorter battery life. All the bells and whistles to game with a pro controller of sorts is awesome. I honestly wish Switch had a controller like this for tournament based gaming. (They DO, but it lacks the rumble.)
Love the sea of stars in the background lol. My most hyped game of 2023
Finally got around to picking one up, going to sell my white DualSense controller to help pay for it. Honestly quite impressed with the quality of it and love the extra features. Not necessary by far, especially given its price, but if you don’t mind the high price it is a great controller.
Battery life isn't too good over time
@@deraw94 Yeah, that’s my one complaint
I just bought mine today, and really enjoy using it, especially playing COD MW2.
I have both Xbox elite controllers 1&2. I have multiple PS4 scufs. I have a pro switch controller. I have the PS5 scuf controller and I never use 4 paddles. I’m perfectly fine with 2. 😊
This modularity and reparability (though a small part of the controller) is great to finally see from the actually maker of the console, Im glad many keyboards allow such flexibility to replace a singular problematic switch and I hope xbox and nintendo (and sony down the raod) get the message that controllers have a long way to go and getting stagnant will hurt sales. Now if only they could fit a bigger battery there.
Xbox has been doing it for years now tho with the Elite Controller, arguably since the 360 days even
@@materioart no, you can't replace any parts of the elite controller. I've gone through 3 of them because the bumpers break in a couple months every time.
It is nice of you to put the cool background of the 'Sea of Stars' on the desktops. 😄
just the ability to swap out whole stick modules is a huge selling point for me. I've had so many ps4 controllers get bad stick drift on me
Just two back buttons and only domed high sticks is the dumbest design choice I've ever seen on a pro controller.
@@zZiL341yRj736it’s the same design nearly every custom controller has right now
I was holding back for this controller but last night got it for myself the other day. People had been saying about the battery but didn't find mine any issue at all I mean on the regular dualsense I am getting 8 hours of playtime before needing to charge. As for the edge I got the same amount of time before I charge the controller, the reason why I was holding myself in getting this controller before is I was hoping that sony will release different color for as they did with the regular dualsense. With that said I was happy with this controller and thinking I might mod it once the warranty has passed.
I think it's crazy that having back buttons hasn't become a standard for game controllers. If they were standard then game devs could figure them into the design and gameplay
I like what I see other than the glossy front. Come out with a few more to swap with and some controller colors and we will be set.
I'm cautiously optimistic we see a revision with more back buttons. Having 4 on Xbox has spoiled me. That being said, having paddles as an option is amazing, considering how many back buttons are just indented in the controller
Yea, I was wondering about this too. Might be okay if you’ve never had a pro controller but it seems like a negative compared to Xbox.
I would much rather have had 4 than the function buttons at the bottom. As it stands, I'd still end up using the normal controller in claw so my thumb never comes off the stick.
Magnets is the future when it comes to controller sticks or a lot of things in general also battery is cool for me after 4 hours you should be getting a break anyway will probably buy at some point
Great video. I love my edge controller. It’s my first pro controller but love how it’s a mix of the regular dual sense (which is the best ever standard controller ) with the pro features. 🎮🎧👍🏼
I hope i enjoy mine as much as you. I just cant get my head round the 210£ price mark.
Battery life is debunked. It last around 7 hours
Great review, Kevin! 👏 Appreciate your take on the Dualsense Edge
It would be nice if my pc recognized it on all launchers and games without a middleman third party app…
Actually the reason it has a lower battery device is not because of the extras the controller can do but because the Edge's battery has a capacity of 1050mAh and the regular duelsense has a 1560mAh battery :/ they didnt even "need" to do that.
It Bothers me that people don't realize you don't have to have the controller connected to your console to charge it when you play you can connect it to the outlet that's right next to you I hear a lot of people complain about the cable being connected to the console to charge I haven't had to connect my controller to the console since the PlayStation 3
Good call honestly, I personally never had issues with battery life since PS3 but still I never thought of that.
The software on this controller makes it better than everything I’ve tried before
So he recorded this last Monday or something because the past few days it has been going around that the battery is indeed smaller than a standard DS, not simply just more features = less battery life
@icemancam: I use mine plugged it and it’s flawless.
@L_O_W_K_E_Y-G I literally already have the controller lol?? I will be posting a comparison video between this controller and the scuf reflex FPS controller this weekend. Spoiler alert scuf beats out this controller in all aspects aside from the inevitable stick drift that will happen with the scuf
the battery size is actually smaller than the og
My only problem is really with the glossy bottom; glossy just doesn't look premium imo.
It doesn’t get smudgy
I'll stick to the elite. Nothing on this makes the controller functionally better. Battery Life is the deal breaker.
Best Controller Ever Made ! 100% Buying
Says best controller ever made then proceeds to admit you don't own one..🙈
Fanboy alert 🚨🚨🚨
@@Axispaw1 It's the best controller because of its features. That's just being objective. Either way I'm happy with what I saw
So far my only beefs since using it: would’ve liked 4 back buttons like my Scuf, and the battery life kinda sucks.
now, I do hope they add in some features for the profiling menu- being able to make your own profiles and the option to make the sticks only use 4 or 8 directions to smooth out poorly optimized controller aiming from some games (looking at you Hired Gun and B4B… a stick is NOT a mouse indie devs 🙄) or for side scrollers/ fighting games, etc…
Macros would also be a nice addition.
same 4 back buttons was also what I would like to see. I have a third party dual sense controller with 4 paddles and am definitely spoiled after I pretty much need them now
Macros would never be added. Macros are considered cheating/illegal in most cases.
I think the pdp victrix bfg is a cheaper option minus the dual sense and haptic triggers
I would buy it for $100 but $200 it's absolutely ludicrous
I think this would be priced at 75😂
This product is clearly out of your budget, move on…
@@demitri7303 not really, sony is known for making their stuff way overpriced. The ps5 is made out of incredibly cheap hardware
I like the adjustable triggers
If they made touchpad modules this controller would be king
Nice! Looking forward to the comparison video! Might hold out in hopes of a black version. But overall will save up because that cost is steep
Looks great, thanks for the video
I want this DS Edge...But not at $200, will wait for a price drop.
Besides my Ps5 is on 4.03 waiting for a full jailbreak + hypervisor exploit so I cannot update to the latest firmware that adds Edge support.
There's one gripe I've had with Sony for a long time. We've had custom button assignments on our controllers for years, but they've only ever given us one option per the entire system. You can't have numerous different custom button assignments. Now I understand that's because they were banking on making a system like this, so they could make more money off of people by getting this function exclusively through buying their pro controller
Nice Red XIII button Kevin!!
I like it so far. I just wish the fn button could be mapped to face buttons or even to turn 9n gyro aim if pressed on the right side fn button. They also should have added an alternative d-pad option. But software wise there is so much they could do with this controller even In the future.
I'm not too comfortable with the cable lock, I would much rather have a cable that pulls out of the controller if someone trips on it than one that pulls the console off its stand.
then don’t put the lock on? lol?
I play division 2 and just returned this controller as I found the back paddles useless for my gameplay style!
normal playback speed is starting to feel like 1.5 kev lol
Wish it was optimized for PC as well cuz it feels like a waste of money sitting on my desk.
I wish they would release an all white controller.
great review, thanks
The battery is smaller, it has been confirmed. 1050 mAH.
I'm a huge fan of wired pro controllers. The price may turn a lot of people off, but it's more of a long-term investment. Replacing the analogs so seamlessly goes a long way. I can't wait to use it with my Nintendo Switch.
What happened was just having about the Next-gen PlayStation Portable(PSP), but otherwise, I'm Guessing, How if my IGN 1 got removed by Roku?
Wow when was this video recorded, a quick search around would have shown that the battery usage time is not low because of the controller extra features but because it is only 2/3 the size of the dual sense battery. Wow
If I could make a request, could you please review the Victrix BFG Pro Controller for the PS5 by PDP? I'm curious about it and thinking of buying one.
Great review dude
Why does this controller not light up like the regular duelsense? Mine has no light bar when playing a game.
There's really no excuse for Sony to downgrade the battery life of this compared to the regular dualsense... Like why? It's more expensive, why would they put a smaller battery?
4 1/2 hours is a LIE, I played Dead Space for 7 1/2 hours I timed it myself, can’t believe your falling for this and didn’t tested yourself.
I'm getting mine tomorrow.
My ONLY complaint is that the volume feature does NOT work with the pulse 3D headset made for the ps5! This infuriated the hell out of me because I spent over an hour trying to figure out why.
I have one of these and really like it a lot. My only wish would be a second set of back buttons so I could map all the face buttons. A bit of a misplay by Sony if you ask me.
The battery is physically smaller because of all the extra stuff. It’s about 1/3 smaller
Don't know whether to wait out for the 2nd generation Dualsense Edge. I do have a feeling if you keep changing analogue stick caps there is the possibility of them wearing out overtime I wish they would have opted for magnets.
The rest of the internal components are of great quality and the software is nice and simple.
Having 4 back buttons is an absolute must for me, I like to map all the face buttons to them so I never have to remove my thumbs from the joysticks, like many of you the elite controller spoiled me in expecting a controller that has all that functionality, premium feel, and a solid battery life. Playstation is heading in the right direction with this one but I won't be going in on this until they get those extra two buttons, battery life improvement wouldn't be as bad of a trade off for me if I can have all the back buttons lol
Don't hold your breath. My guess is it will never happen. Let's be honest though. Most of us can get by with 2 or even prefer 2 over 4. And those two extra buttons won't make us any better at our respective games. I play Apex and barely ever have to remove my thumbs and it's never the reason I get smoked
@@miked5443 it’s just the way I like to play, nothing about being better just how I like it, but to pay that much and still not be able to do that isn’t a selling point for me is all, granted I am spoiled as I had the Elite controller for my Xbox so I know what it’s like to have 4 paddles on back
The base DualSense has a 1560mAh battery, while the DualSense Edge has a 1050mAh battery, so like a third smaller.
I really like mine, but I do think Sony should have made some default DualSense Edge profiles for at least their first party games. Would make the onboarding slightly easier. Also I hope that the Sony will make different stick modules, like a Electromagnetic one fx.
I’ve read that the battery is roughly 33% smaller than the standard controller. I wonder if the batteries are the same and swappable. 🤔
We need the next elite controller to be something like what sony did with the PS5 controller with the removable sticks so we don't have to buy a whole new controller with just a stick problem
If they release it in red, I’ll buy it
Tbh battery ain’t really a problem coz my ps is right next to me so it’s not that bad
Why didn't they just use Hall effect joy sticks?
Wish they had a rubber grip and controller customization option with the Xbox store
Would consider this if Gulikit has a hall sensor module for the Dualsense Edge so you never have to change analog sticks again.
Good review
Love to see a review on BFG Victius pro controller, it has some interesting options and would love to see your opinion on it.
We need an elite series 3 instead with the Xbox series controller design
how do i use it on pc? where is the pc software?
Oh it’s gooood! 😊
finally a good review with actual details. Would love to see some in-game testing, especially FPS shooter, in the future. This is what we all need to know about.
You can get a switch lite, or 1 ps5 controller. Its just too expensive imo
While it has some nice features and the system integration is great, the ridiculous size of the battery (1050mAh, compared to 1560mAh on the standard DualSense) and only two instead of four back buttons make the definition of a "pro" controller an absolute joke, especially at that price.
While the feature of swappable sticks is nice, you are basically paying premium for the right to replace, from which Sony will once again make money. It should have come with two extra stick modules at that price, or instead have used hall effect sticks. This is basically Sony acknowledging they are NOT using a superior/"pro" technology and wanting to get paid top dollar for it.
I was really looking forward to a first party pro controller from Sony, as the PS5 is my most used platform, but this offering does not justify its price in my opinion. Will wait for a second iteration, but seeing as how long is has taken for the first one to come out, that probably will not see the light of day until 2030...
Im gonna need that cable lock one time I yanked my ps4 controller while you motion controls and the usb cable flew out and the head of the usb cable broke off
Does your DSE makes a louder noise on R2 than the regular DS? I don’t know if mine is defective or if that’s normal
I just want to know if the D-pad is segmented or one solid button.
I hope console games start to allow pro controller button integration... As the buttons being their own button instead of duplicates... For instance in overwatch I could use those back buttons for extra communication voice lines.. but to do this overwatch would need to be able to recognize the button as back button 1 or 2... I originally thought this was the purpose of pro controllers, and also the reason I purchased the PS4 back button accessory...
Pro controllers are essentially to jump and aim at the same time
Why no review on the Battler GC by Retro Fighters?
Can you please tell me which controller out there offers "clutch adjustment aiming" ?
It lasts longer than 4 hours.......7 to 8 is what I got.
not the same battery, its actually a smaller battery with just a little over 1,000mah which is trash
If the drop it to 120 I'll buy
I'm waiting for when they have different colors
I thought the removable stick modules were a cool idea but hall effect exists......sooooo yeah, 200 dollar controller
@L_O_W_K_E_Y-G 8bitdo ultimate and or gulikit zen pro. Both should work on switch and windows
Please review the victrix pro bfg!!!
Paddles scratched the back of my controller which I am cheesed about
u still got that beanie on
240 euro is a tough pill to swallow...
I'll stick to the regular PS5 controller, plus longer battery life. Not that the DS5 last that much longer. But only 4 hours is a joke...
For the price you would think they've could have added a larger battery. Sony gimping their products as usual.
Ok really need your help on this one, edge or razer v2 pro?? In your opinion which is better ?
Yes.
What's the little box you put the USB cable into before pugging it into the controller?
Included lock that prevents detachment of the cable, essentially making it a wired controller if you want to
One thing i havent seen anybody talk about is if the adaptive triggers stay on when you increase the tension does anybdy know ?
The problem i have is 1 the price.. which goes beyond the purpose.. how realistically are you going trough 3/4 controllers in the console life? Because if you dont.. you safe nothing. And my second problem is, they cheated out on everything!.. and that’s something i don’t appreciate! Especially if you ask that amount of money. I find the elite 2 a perfect balance and actually feeling more premium then the normal xbox controller! It feel like a upgrade and the price is good! (Quality problems aside..) but if you have a good unit.. it really feels like a upgrade. Here i felt like they cheaped out! Not putting a decent battery in it.. cheap components.. and not really that much more quality then the regular controller.. no way to change the stick tension.. and all of that would be okisch.. if they didn’t ask such a absurd amount of money..
PlayStation should do more color options for the dualsense edge like the normal dualsense
They will.
I'm sorry, but I have to complain. Does anybody remember stick drift on their old PS1, 2 or 3 controllers? I certainly don't. I strongly believe that Sony has placed some more planned obsolescence in ps4 and 5 controllers with the stick drift. The fact that they allow us to finally change the analog sticks is great, but they plan for us to be buying more things from them again.
I've heard from this channel there is a different controller manufacturer that is working on analog sticks that use magnets that shouldn't have stick drift overtime. Let's hope Sony incorporates that overtime.
