PlayStation DualSense Edge Wireless Controller - Midnight Black

Build quality worthy of a premium product with longevity and durability in mind. Changing back paddles is easy, you just need to be gentle. I haven’t used the cable lock but am glad to have it available. My favorite feature, though, is the swappable thumbsticks in case they ever need replacing. Perfect size and shape to hold and use, though for my hands the very slightly shorter sticks on the non-Edge version suited me better, but it’s been easy enough to get used to. Works wired with recent iPads even though only wireless compatibility is advertized by Apple.

The PlayStation DualSense Edge is easily the best controller I’ve used. I play with it every day, and the customization is next level—remappable back buttons, adjustable trigger sensitivity, swappable thumbsticks, and profile switching make a huge difference, especially in competitive games.It feels premium in every way. The grip is solid, the weight is balanced, and the buttons are responsive. Even after long sessions, there’s no hand fatigue, and it holds up great under pressure.The battery life has been solid too. I never unplug it, and it stays charged and ready to go whenever I need it. No issues there at all.If you’re serious about gaming and want full control over your setup, this is absolutely worth the investment.

The only 2 downsides to this over a scuff controller or other popular brands, is that it only has 2 additional paddles on the back. That being said everything else about this is customizable. It actually feels like a quality built piece when you’re holding it. The ability to have the profiles set differently at the drop of a hat if you’re playing COD and want to switch to a sniper profile rather than a run and gun profile, or if you are playing any racing sim and want to switch to a more analog trigger feel. It’s all extremely smooth and still feels like a well built product. 10/10 Sony nailed this.

Bought for $169 during state of play because my 5th controller got stick drift again and just said F it I’m just gonna get this and buy the replaceable sticks whenever they inevitably die out aswell. The controller also has great back paddles, they feel like quality, and the charging coord that comes with this is noticeably longer than regular ones. Oh, it also comes with a charging lock which locks the cord into the controller, not sure why that’s a thing, but I guess it’s gotta be for somebody who solely plays connected. I mainly bit the bullet to get this one for one reason though, and that’s because when, not IF the sticks die, I can buy 3rd party replacement sticks with hall-effect on them from reputable sites like battle beaver. If you see yourself playing games for the foreseeable future, in the long term I’d say this controller will save you money, even if you buy the $20 sticks (which I think are still overpriced) but ultimately this is a investment for the future if you like playing on controller in general. Also, I’ve heard that the rubber on this controller will start to tear off if you have sweaty hands after a couple of months, so I’d recommend buying a silicone skin wrap with this aswell if you’re a sweat. Anyways, after a month the controllers been great for me 5/5, the stick modules are easy to take out and put back in, and the back paddles are placed in just the right position giving you an extra 2 buttons to go ham with.

Battery life is lower than expected but only having to pay 30$ for stick replacements as opposed to 70$ for a new controller is definitely worth it, also it comes in black

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

This is a well built controller with extra nice features. It is my favorite controller and works well with the Ps5 pro. The down side is the price. I had some rewards so it took some of the sting out of the purchase.

Great controller
