DualSense Edge

I've had this DualSense Edge six months now. [...] There are grooves on the triggers which I've just noticed collect dirt and grease off your fingers. [...]

I have my edge for 2 years now and it still dosent have noticeable stick drift i dropped it multiple times from my headset getting pulled and it flying off my table it took alot of damage and still going strong the cable going through more damage than the controller 😂😂😂

[...] The Sticks shoulda came TMR, or atleast Hall-Effect, but GuiliKit literally now has Replaceable TMR(The Best) Replaceable Stick Modules, but idk if u still have to mail ur Controller in & have them Professionally Solder them in w/ Warranty or they finally have em in Production. I bought my Controller not but a few months ago so I don’t have Stick Drift at all. [...]

Grips peel after 2 to 4 months plus they turn yellow and get dirty fast even with clean hands. [...] Had the left back button which I use primarily for jump break on two separate duel sense edge controllers and the battery life is absolutly horrible.The stick modules have been out of stock for a while now so if you get stick drift you are out of luck.Here an idea sony instead of stick modules that are always out of stock just use hall effect sticks instead . Id say there are many other options right now in the same price range to get one of them instead.Had high hopes for the duel sense edge but I am very disappointed. Good luck trying to use the 1 year warranty as well. [...]

Had stick drift on mine probably a month into use and went to order a replacement module and well, 6 months later I still have stick drift lol. Also I wish the tall stick came in a non domed version. Otherwise it’s good, not better than the Xbox series elite 2 though.

I own this controller by over a years, play mostly Apex Legends i think for this game it S perfect, drift is annoying but I am used to so it S not a problem. A controller I would try is the Exgaming Phantom but I Don t want spend 250 euros again

[...] The first had a faulty board and several buttons quit working after roughly 6 weeks. It had stick drift less than 3 weeks in, and a few buttons were sticky out of the box. The back right paddle broke and I replaced it a few days before the board died. [...] I'm about 6 months in and I had to replace one stick already. The square button was sticky from Day 1, so I unmapped it. [...] Oddly, the rubber grips are the only thing that everyone complains about but I have had no issues with yet. [...] Good when it works, but I've had too many quality-control issues. I won't buy another one once I feel satisfied with getting my money's worth.

I have had my DS edge for almost 2 years now and have well over 2000 hours into it, with all the same problems and perk. From the rubber on the grips peeling to the minor amount of stick drift. [...] While I do have a very small about of stick drift, it is completely mitigated by adjusting the dead zone inputs in the controller settings for each game I play, and I have not even used the extra stick modules I bought when I ordered the controller. [...] Since I have bought the controller, I cannot attest to current build quality or longevity. On top of that we have the price of the stick modules. Originally $20, now everywhere I look wants to charge $50 per module. Should you need to replace both modules you are looking at $100, half the price of the controller itself. [...] I’m sure you could even haggle them down for even cheaper. [...] However, if you are a CoD player, I recommend just playing something else BO6 isn’t worth the time it takes to download or the exorbitant hard drive space it takes up(for anyone wondering, I am 10th prestige lv240. I have enough time in the game to say it’s not worth the price and is so bad that it has finally convinced me to give up on CoD for g

I've had the DualSense Edge for 6 months now, but it's just not comfortable for me. [...] Such a shame after all that money. [...] Gaming DualSenseEdge PS5

I love the DualSense Edge, but my only gripe is that the rubber grips started peeling off after 3-4 months of using the controller. I always take care of my stuff, so for that to happen to a $200 USD controller is unacceptable.

Ive had mine since jan2025 and my left back button doesnt work properly anymore like its not the magnet thing that snapped, its the sensor that no longer clicks. Ill see what can i do with the legal warranty (quebec law). I should be getting a refund or replacement since i paid full price on it and it should last longer.

3:22 that is deliberate for some game developersto to allow to extra immersion into your game... the perfect example is the last of us part 1 remastered which has the feature when aapplying a bandage it makes you feel that it is getting wrapped tighter and that final squeeze to finish it off! I have been Xbox since the original and I have purchased every generation of Xbox released since and all I can say is that after buying a ps5 to finally play all of their exclusives the level of immersion that the dualsense controller bundled with the console is actually unbelievable! It is a night and day difference when compared tomy elite series 2 for the sheer fact of the haptic feedback on the dualsense... The haptic feedback on the elite is just a normal rumble but on the dualsense it varies in intensity and changes based on what task your character is doing. The dualsense has a 250 times multiplier when it is compared to the elite series 2 in my opinion!

I just can't understand the Battery choice on this!?. A 1050mah Battery in a "Pro Controller" Is mental to me! [...] Simple fact is, at the price they are charging, Evrything should be better than a standard controller. The fact you are having to sacrafice anything at this price, is just absurd. Also, They have clearly realised that there is an issue with stick drift, and it just feels like instead of resolving it wiht different stick moduls. They have given ytou an option to pay money for when this problem arrises.

Thanks for video fella, I’ve recently bought one myself and think the triggers are next level, kD is far better, actually enjoying COD much more ( apart from the cheats) I agree with you about the back paddles, two is fine and in nice place feel good. Battery life is fine for me being 53 don’t get that much time to game so 4-5 hours is fine. Dorset England.👍🏻

I have about 2k hours on this controller I got two only reason why I have 2 is because the buttons like r1 and triangle has been completely pressed in because I play a lot of Fortnite and I edit with triangle and have select as r1 they get pressed in so much and get damp but other than that I genuinely love the controller best controller I’ve ever had I have had stick drift only two times after like 1800 hours of playing on both sticks and never got it after

, I just spent $240 on this controller a week ago and everything this man has said is spot on - with that being said it's the best controller I've ever had and I'm glad that I bought it- the one thing that he brought up that really makes me angry too is like why can't PlayStation do this for their regular controllers? It seems so greedy🤷 (re : interchangeable sticks )

I own 4 controllers, all four had the drift. I take good care of them, never dropped them. The one I had with the console went back to Sony for repairs TWICE then I had to have it repaired by a guy I found online and it's fine now.

I have one when I got it it was an amazing controller my first pro controller and before I used it I added those grips whwre u have to aline it onto your controller so the back grip doesn’t peal off and it lasts way longer

For me it was totally worth the price. I get stick drift a lot and have bought many PS5 controllers because of it. But with the edge, the moment I vet stick drift I just buy 1 stick module and that’s it By now I have saved a lot of money by using the edge because if I didn’t I would’ve bought many more controllers

I’ve gone through two standard ps5 controllers in two years, from stick drift. [...] Especially with the stick drift issue. [...]

[...] I got the Elite v2 and loved it's feel and paddles, but it felt lacking for a premium controller compared to my $5 SC. [...] Dual radial menus on the trackpad, gyro toggle on the fn button, auto centering on the face button for when my flick stick gets off center. It's a solid controller, the dpad and battery could be better though.

[...] I love the customization of the button assignments. [...] Battery life, yeah, it is not awesome. [...]

The battery life is a flaw, but I’ve already been through 4 ps5 controllers due to terrible stick drift. Having the ability to easily pop them in and out is so worth it. Yeah ik you can still fix the old controllers but I don’t wanna deal with unboxing my fcking controller

I’ve been using this controller for a week so far , improved at Bo6 with the omni movement. Faster time to aim n shoot , I flipped the back paddles the opposite side and feels much better that way. Definitely worth the purchase

Had it day one. Best and most durable pro controller I’ve used to date. And I’ve used all the premium controllers across all 3 consoles.

I don't think anyone listened to a single thing you said considering everyone in the comments are complaining about stick drift when YOU CAN BUY NEW STICK MODULES!! Not to mention the full software integration with the PS5 people seem to leave this out but you can literally customize everything on the controller in the settings on your PS5, deadzones, remap buttons and paddles, stick curve response. So yes this is the best pro controller for the PS5 the software integration instantly makes it better than any other pro controller for the PS5 specifically.

Imagine playing this much hours and not finding it worthy 😂 I'm just impressed that you used this much and yet gaming on that purple rubbers 0:00 im assuming you are not playing on serious competitive multiplayer games. The wonderfull thing about the edge you can just swap the tumbsticks and i chose the one with NO details on it because the one that comes on the regular ps5 joystick was hurting my thumbs after few hours of competitive online gaming

personally got the dualsense edge day one & have more than 3K hours on it i do not have any of that peeling i have gotten stick drift 2 times but just went to the store & replaced both sticks the first time both sticks went out at the same time & the second time only one but it feels not great on the sticks if you don't replace both also you can get this controller for a crazy cheap price now used i looked the other day out of curiosity it's worth it imo PS if you want holographic sticks there's a company that makes & sells them for the edge they just pop right in like the oem ones although i have yet to try it out

Beat Buy really be like that sometimes. I got a Dualsense Edge open-box in allegedly Like New quality, marked down way more than it should have been. I get it home and one of the thumbsticks is completely flaccid, one set of pedals is missing, and the right trigger is loose.

I have the normal controller that came with my PS5, a Volcano Red one that I bought afterwards that feels even better. But then I traded in some old tech and got the Dualsense Edge, and while I wish it had the finish of the red one, it's my favourite controller. Battery life sucks though.

[...] Battery isn't great either but I usually play wired. [...]

I wish it had hall effect sticks and 4 paddles. I dont mind the battery life (even though its shit compared to my elite series 2) because wired isnt a big deal for me. Honestly if sony asked me: "Hey, you can pick either great battery life but only 2 paddles or 4 paddles but crappy battery life" id pick 4 paddles every time.

I commented a while ago , not sure you remember about 10 11 months ago and I love thsi controller best controller for ps5 pro beats all the pro 3rd party controller due to it having 1000hz polling rate, it’s so good best for ps5. With pro OLED this controller it s amazing

had mine for 2 years. no peeling like in the vid and i’ve only swapped modules twice, extremely worth the investment

....What game? I haven't actually had this problem and I've been using a Dualsense Edge for over a year now

UPDATE: Lol people stop commenting that the "Midnight Black is out" I've already known and it's worth the 2-year wait". They need to make this black, hall effect and more battery life, but BLACK color will be me buying it.

Replacement sticks impossible to find, and grips started peeling on mine after not even two years.

Only problem ive had after a year is the rubber pads peeling off abit on the grips

I have tne white version and agree those back grips are the worst aspect. Mine have small bubbles and are yellowing. How is yours a year after you posted this ? .... ngl I do want the black version though 😂

Always thought this remote was more of a want than need, especially if you’re not a “gamer”…well I was wrong! Picked up the black one last night just to see what the hype was about and I was very surprised! Definitely awesome being able to switch functions, etc. even on Resident Evil 9!! Will be making more profiles today with my other games So much fun using this!

[...] So far I think my headphones are fine, but I’m pretty sure it’s also nearly killed my DualSense Edge (I need to plug it in after 15 mins), which it shouldn’t.

I bought the DualSense Edge which you can maybe say is frivolous but on the other hand it at least reduces the temptation to buy their other controllers. Hey, you don’t know how nice mappable controller paddles are until you’ve gotten used to using them.

same. that’s why i bought the dualsense edge controller, so i can replace the joysticks easily whenever they get joycon drift

its crazy how i used to hate the dualsense and i thought that the xbox controller was 10x better but then i got a dualsense edge and i dont know if ill ever find a better feeling controller to use

I bought a pair of those TMR modded stick modules for the dualsense edge, so I can use my expensive controller without drift. Imagine if it had already come that way.

I bought a black DualSense Edge and received it today. I bought it cause 1 it looks cooler than the white one and 2 I’m hoping it won’t have the grip bubbling issue. Just looking at the photos it looked like maybe it’s a slightly different material or material treatment. [...]

[...] I own every Grimoire. [...] I bought a Dualsense Edge and a headset to be badder at raids.

As long as it feels good it can be 150. I own a Dualsense Edge. Just fuck me up.

I’d characterize it as being $100 less than the more comparable Dualsense Edge. ($120 less than the DSE plus the stick module you have to get in case one of your sticks starts to drift 🫩) The main reason I got my DSE was to match the features of the Deck’s controls; 4 extra buttons + trackpads.

by the way, I got one of those Dualsense Edge controllers and woo shit. I get it!
