PlayStation DualSense Edge Wireless Controller – Midnight Black

Looks Premium, but does it perform like a Premium controller?
Short Answer: Mostly, yes.The Dual Sense Edge is (sort of) an answer to Xbox’s Elite Controller. It’s about 12% bigger than the standard PS5 Dualsense controller. The FN buttons act as a shortcut to several different profiles that you can customize, there’s 4 profile slots, but the default profile cannot changed or removed, so technically 3. You can Adjust the Stick sensitivity/Curve to your liking, or just make it flat out digital(recommend this function a lot, honestly) You can also add two extra shortcut paddles to back of the controller for maximum control and you can remap any button on the controller to your desired preference. You can also adjust game chat and game volume with the FN buttons via the D-Pad. This controller feels perfect in the hands and the swap out sticks is a nice touch, but I can’t really say much about swapping them, as I haven’t really needed to.Face buttons:They’re solid, with the exception of the D-Pad. The D-Pad has this “creaky” feel to it when you press it. It’s disappointing that it got like that in less than a month of use and the battery life is not bad. You get about 3 hours of play time with the controller before you need to plug it in. Triggers and the Trigger Stops work well, and are useful for games that don’t really need the extra trigger movement (some rpg games, 2D indie games, etc.).Conclusion: I would recommend it, but it’s steep price ($200 as of this review) will be a deal breaker for most people.

Great for gaming
This controller is amazing & makes my gaming easier, on 2k i get to shoot the ball fast because of the adjustable stick feature and it has extra buttons

Begrudgingly good
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.

The best controller to own
Best controller I own. I couldn’t imagine not having the pro controller. The battery life is a little more limited than the regular one, but where I sit is next to an outlet so it doesn’t affect me much.
