Customer Ratings & Reviews

Fantastic build quality, easy connection/setup on Windows, excellent support for controller-first games through Steam with good default configurations. I upgraded from a DualShock 4 that had finally reached the end of its useful life after nearly a decade. I love that the thumbsticks of the DualSense are DESIGNED to be user-replaceable, since that was the last straw when my DualShock sticks started jumping all over the place randomly and uncontrollably. iFixit has detailed tear-downs and step-by-step instructions for repairs, like replacing the battery. I anticipate this controller should be very possible for me to take good care of and will serve me well for quite a long time. The USB-C connection is SO MUCH better than the DS4 Micro-USB one. The fit is very secure and clicky; should be much more resistant to wearing out. I've never used a controller with back-paddles, so I wasn't sure what to expect there, but they're quite handy. So far, I find them most useful for parry/perfect-guard on the left and alternate bind for "Y"/Triangle on the right, but they're very customizable (even through Steam w/o the native support on PS5). It would be nice if there were two pairs of paddles, like on the XBox Elite controller, but ultimately the PS-style inline-thumbsticks control layout is more significant to me. The ONLY gripe I can think of is that the battery life is a little lackluster. The USB cable is nice quality, though, and is about as unobtrusive as a cable can be, so it's not the worst to play with it connected. As long as I plug it back in to charge after using it wirelessly, the battery is rarely an issue.

The controller has good back buttons. I really appreciate the durability . It is built it’s very durable, however, the battery life lacks a bit.

The reactions time on this controller is awesome. I love the bottom paddles. The changeable thumbsticks make huge difference. The downfall is the battery life. The battery only last 2-3 hours before needing to be recharged. This can be increased by turning off led and the trigger features.

Great controller. Makes adjusting volume settings during games a breeze, I like the separate profiles allowing one for differing games or games modes. Battery life is a little low but not a concern for me. Nice carry case included.

The removable analog sticks make stick drift a problem of the past, you can use the back paddles for optional button bindings for professional/competitive gameplay.

This is my first ever pro controller and it was definitely worth ir. Disclaimir i did receive this as a bday gift. I was hesitant on buying tbis controller simply cause $200 is outlandish. However what you are given is quality. Everything from the case down to the cable is qualiry. This controller shines in the software however. After using it for about a week i can say it is definitely worth it if you serious about gaming but im sure there is other controllers out there that may be cheaper that gets the job done. But this has instantly helped me when it comes to Rainbow Six. In terms of batteryblife sure it can be betterr but for me i maybe on average game for about 4 hours and it has lasted the whole four hours and im sure it could have lasted longer. Battery concerns is just a tad bit overblown in my opinion.

Son said he love it and it work really good now we got to wait n see if it didn’t break

If you are a competitive gamer or take your gaming serious this is the must have controller. The sticks are interchangeable, so if you get stick drift you can just change out the one that’s having issues with a new one, no buying a whole new controller. The R2/L2 buttons are adjustable, has paddles and buttons to add the back of the controller to reset the controllers buttons to your preference. Overall this is the way to go…. I like it so much I got 2 of them, so when one dies I grab the next one and keep going without having to go back to long trigger pulls abs throw my gaming off……. You will not go wrong with this controller

I was thrilled to see Sony release a first-party pro controller. The controller looks and feels premium. The paddles on the back work flawlessly. The glossy black finish does not bother me. The short battery life doesn't bother me. The price is actually on par or cheaper than other competitor's controllers. I love the details put into this as well as the case. I feel like there could be a little more customizability in the software itself. Also, I think the triggers need one additional setting more than they have, but let's be honest; adjustable triggers via the switches is pretty awesome. It will be interesting to see how it withstands the test of time.

so nice & smooth ! Sturdy too! Aiming is so much better, holding it feels like a new generation & a lot more comfortable! Cool new buttons too

This controller is nice if you want back buttons. Bit pricey but if you got it go for it. Feels natural in the hands, well built. 100+ hours using it so far so good

Loving it so far. Battery lasted 5 hours for me which is more than enough per charge. Actually enjoy the half moon triggers more than the triggers on my xbox elite controller. Its heavier than the regular Dual Sense as well. I think it states that it weighs the same but it definitely is heavier which i like. Changing the triggers range is a game changer as well. It has the pre ser triggers on the rear but you can also customize it with the software on the PS5. Which on another note is very well done, there are multiple profiles and a slew of options to change and customize it for multiple games.

I have tired every controller on the market, even the really expensive ones, scuf, etc.. The only controller I like more than this one is a ps4 controller I custom built, this one is the only pro controller worth the money, the paddles are in a good place that makes sense, they give you the option of easily replaceable sticks to future proof. Don't think just do it, you wont regret it.

Controller feels great, plays great, earns the three stars. 4th star would have been for more than 2 mappable back buttons. A standard 4 button layout like found on Xbox elite and other 3rd party companies would have been much preferable. 5th star would have been battery life. Battery is atrocious for the cost of the controller. Luckily it’s got a long recharging cable with clamps to keep it secured in, but I bought a wireless controller, it would be nice to get through one 3 hour gaming session without a low battery warning.

Solid controller. Only has 2 back buttons. Would have liked 4. Has a noticeable weight difference, it is a bit heavier but in turn feels solid and well made because of that. Battery life could be better, but not horrible.

The DualSense™ Wireless Controller looks, feels and plays great.

Pretty complicated when setting up the back pedals and the sensitivity. Definitely offers a lot more than competing brands and well worth the price tag. It’s definitely worth it and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an edge on their opponent. However, I don’t think the controller has much of a use in games like Minecraft and spider man. So I would say that the product works perfect for its intended use, but would consider the types of games you play.

I am in love with this controller. With it being similar to a SCUF, you still get the feel of the PS5 controller. That being said, if you go to a buddys house and they have a playstation, you dont have to worry about fitment because youre used to the feeling of a PS5 controller. That was my biggest concern. For a slightly high price, id pay it again. Like stated above, i absolutely love this controller.

Controller is great. Lots of options, but runs out of battery quickly.

Amazing feel. Great product. Back buttons easy to install and customizations are actually useful
