This is a high quality controller, but it is also lacking in many key areas. *(some of the issues are due to Sony not allowing 3rd party peripherals to use a lot of standard features)*
-The thing I noticed right away is that there is only a quick start quite included, not instructions, but it also lists the website to go to for instructions.. Ok great, you go there and it gives a very spartan pictorial of what the buttons and switches do, and a link to download the PC software needed to calibrate and program the controller. It is not the most user friendly controller I've used, and the lack of an app makes it harder.
-If you want to use it wireless, you need to plug a dongle into your PS5 to do so, also if you have a wireless headset then the mute button on the controller doesn't work.
-I like the feel of the sticks, but I wish there was a way to lower them, it's a thick controller so with higher sticks it's a stretch to hold.
The R2 /L2 triggers are curved forward which makes it harder yet to reach.
-The 4 back buttons aren't in the best spot. There are 2 about where most controllers with back buttons place them, but then there are 2 closer to the bottom inside edge of the lower horn. These are a problem for me and I had to deactivate them because they are sensitive, and I found that I clicked them just by holding the controller. Then in the middle of all this there is the profile button next to the top right back button, below that are a volume up, Bluetooth, and volume down. It's really easy to hit the profile by accident causing your configuration to change.
-(Issues due to Sony) You can not turn your PS5 on with the controller, no haptic feedback, and no adaptive triggers.
There needs to be a mobile app, or Sony needs to allow nacom to make a PS5 app like the one the edge controller has for this to be a viable option to most players. Like I said, the quality of the product is top notch, but aside from that it is like they finished the hardware, and forgot about the software and personalization aspects.
My final verdict is I will probably stick to my Dualsense edge for now, and just hope they release hall effect sticks at some point.

Love the fact that I can change the weight of the controller for more comfort. Wonderful layout with the customizable buttons. I would highly recommend this for gamers or even first time players.

If I could master mapping the sticks this would a very elite controller. But for someone that uses back buttons, this isn't a good option because they're very easy to hit. I have to actually turn off all the back buttons so when playing my game my character don't just start diving and jumping everywhere

It is not a bad controller. Super customizable. But it is not that interactive with specific Playstation games. Such as spiderman. Definitely a great controller over all

Significantly better build quality than standard controller.
Battery lasts numerous, extended rounds of play. Only wish it could pair directly to the PS5 but easily works through the included dongle.

A well made, solid feeling controller. The asymmetrical analog sticks do not feel great to me, personally. My left thumb felt sore at times but also it just felt off especially for a playstation controller. However if that won't be a problem for you the then the super smooth hall effect modules will feel great. The Victrix pro BFG is far superior for much less in my opinion

Decent controller just couldn’t get my dead zones to a comfortable spot so it kinda ruined the experience.. but for what it is it’s a great controller just not for the price.

Great controller feeling. No rumble at all. Dang Sony banning from everyone. But overall gives the best control and hand feeling. R2 doesn't work while in shifted up from the back panel. It only works in regular position.
