Love this controller, never gets stick drift, great feel in hands

This Dualsense Edge controller is better than the regular dualsense controller, the main benefit being the back paddles. Out of a scale of 1 to 10, I would give this a 7.8. The controller and paddles seem very sturdy, but the biggest disadvantage is that there's only a maximum of 2 paddles for the back which is definitely insufficient. 4 paddle options for the rear would have made this worth the $216.00 price tag! I hope Sony didn't short us now only to release a "Pro Edge Elite" version down the line with 4 paddles! I play with my controllers plugged in so battery life is not an issue for me. The FN keys are a nice feature to quickly access the Edge settings and i would like to see other implementations to use these function buttons, perhaps adding them to the mapping board would be nice. The feature to adjust the Stick Sensitivity and Deadzones is the next best feature. This is a great advancement for shooter games like Apex and COD. Settings like the Quick, Dynamic, and Digital Curve Adjustments really make a difference for how your player movement and aim take effect in game. If you tweak these with the right in game settings as well, you can set up some godlike aim and movement (after getting use to it ofcourse)! I wish the controller was lighter, perhaps offering an option to sell some without the rumble would be nice. I also bought a Hypr Controller at the same time so while reviewing the Edge, i'm also comparing it to the Hypr one. I would have to give the upper hand to Hypr with a score of 8.3 and not without good reason. First off, the Hypr Controller cost me $250, has 4 remappable back buttons (not paddles, which makes it easier and more comfortable to hold). I had an option to customize my own colors and it's just like a stock dualsense except better because i had the option to remove the "rumble pack" which makes that controller light as a feather and the best thing to hold. The Quick mechanical triggers are far better than the Edge and, even the interchangeable toggles have a way better texture design and grip to them as opposed to the standard Sony toggle designs. The Hypr anti sweat grip option on the rear is also much better than the Edge's rear. The Edge in my opinion still feels a little slippery compared to Hypr's. So for me, there were more and also better options that Hypr offered only for $35 more which is not bad. The biggest concern ofcourse, is that there's no option to change the Joystick Module like the Edge has, so eventually, months down the line, this Hypr controller will become useless and need repair or replacement. If i'm not mistaken, there was a class action lawsuit against Sony for their stick drift issues on their controllers and it's nice to see Sony make them replaceable on the Dualsense Edge. I wasn't happy that my 2 regular Dualsense controllers suffered severe stick issues making them useless which prompted me to spend more money on newer controllers now. Also, the replaceable Toggles should cost more like $12 each and not $20. Thats almost a brand new regular dualsense for the price of 2 stick modules! Come on Sony! We already paid a premium price for a less advanced dualnsense edge compared to the competition out there, don't nickel and dime us for every bit of the pie! Needless to say the Hypr controller doesn't feel as sturdy as the Edge controller, the mute button and option buttons are difficult to press in which make the craftmanship a little questionable. Hypr is located out of the US so it takes a while for build and delivery. More importantly, i have switched between both controllers during games and for some reason, my aim is more accurate and laser like with the Hypr one. I've tested this out A Lot and i still don't get why because there is no option to make extra Curve Adjustments for the Hypr controller, its just like a stock dualsense. But, for whatever reason, Aiming and shooting my targets especially on Apex is always more accurate with the Hypr controller. I expect this to get worse as the controller gets the inevitable stick drift though. So for this reason, and because it has more options to customize for performance (removable rumble, 4 remappable buttons, quick triggers, rear grip, grippy toggles), and comfortableness, Hypr gets a higher score but it's not too far from the Dualsense edge in utility. Sony has the upper hand with the replaceable stick modules, but, will the rest of the controller hold up over time? I guess only time will tell. So in summary, the Dualsense Edge is a great controller but when it's put against the other competitors for Performance Controllers, it's still lacking in some features and design. There are some great steps foward but also a couple backwards steps as well. If Sony plays things correctly, things can only get better going foward for future iterations!

The dualsense edge controller is probably my best purchase. If you play mostly console games and spend a lot of time on the game like me, this is the controller for you. The controller definitely has better grip, specifically around the back of the handles and the triggers. The triggers are adjustable, the analog sticks are swap-able. My preference is the tall dome tops. The entire analog stick mechanism can be replaced in case you ever get stick drift, and is only $20 for a replacement. You have 4 controller profiles to pick from in hand, and more presets are available to make. Note that the extra triggers for controller profiles only duplicate the option you want (my boost in rocket league is set to square, so I can press either or and they both work), it does not give an extra button. Think of it like a shortcut. For the con, battery life is shorter, but that’s expected as the analog sticks take up more room in this controller. Expect 2-4 hours of battery life, but you can play and charge so it doesn’t really affect me. Controller is also heavier, but not ridiculously heavier. Solid build

OK - first off, this is a well made controller. Unfortunately it suffers from a bunch of design flaws. #1 which is a highly preferential issue is the motion control or "gyro" mechanics. For some reason (my assumption is space) Sony decided to use different gyro parts than the standard Dual Sense (which I also own). Unlike the standard Dual Sense, the Edge gyro has way too much drift. In fact it has more than the Dual Shock. The Dual Sense is pretty much perfect so I don't know why they decided to change this element. #2 is the analog sticks. The ability to change sticks, when damaged, is great. i actually owned the Astro C40 which had this functionality...but that was before hall effect sticks. This seems like a stop gap measure for this product based on where the technology currently stands. I still think the ability to swap stick makes sense - but they probably could have reduced cost if they simply went with a more durable joystick. Although it would be ideal to have two more back buttons, it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me in the future. So based on the total cost and the two main issues, I gave it the three stars.

As a big gamer with multiple dualsense controllers, I was on the fence about getting this as the price is high and I did not need it by any means. It turned out to be an amazing purchase. The extra sticks are nice and i like the feel of the classic PS3 sticks and different height levels, makes the controller feel unique. The actual feel of the controller is different its more rounded and has padding, my hand doesnt hurt as much when compared to a normal dualsense. Back paddles are awesome of course, but the most surprising feature was the tuning of the sticks and setting custom profiles. Turned out I use that way more than i would have ever thought. Quickly switching profiles between games has become natural for me and allows my fingers to not move off the face buttons. Battery life has not been a problem as the cord is really long and i keep it charged. If you game a ton on the PS5, i highly recommend this.

This controller is amazing, Haven’t ran into any stick drift issues and I love the customization. Battery life could be better but the charging cable is long enough and locks so it doesn’t damage the cord or the controller port.

Had this for years now and im still loving it! The extra buttons and easy remapping makes this a better option for a controller. Everything about it feels great amd well worth it! 10/10

Had it for a few day’s and I don’t regret buying it at all, it’s definitely overpriced i would have liked it better in the $150-$180 ball park but outside of that i have no issue. The battery life does suck but the charger in box is long as hell, i use it for pc gaming so playing wired isnt an issue when needed overall 4.5/5

Knew what I was in for with battery life and two back paddles, but having the last two elite controllers from Xbox this is just not as good. Don't get me wrong it's worth it because I'm used to not having to move my hands as much, but man do I miss the two extra paddles playing PS5. Due to this anything that comes out on Xbox and PS5 will probably be bought on Xbox even with the cool controller audio.

It’s a good controller for competitive gaming but battery life is not great and the price is a bit too high

great controller, so far my favorite, back button are super useful

One of the most durable if not the most durable and precise and customizable controllers of all times. Simple as that! The best.

Tried a ton of controllers from razer and the modular bfg and xbox elite and a ton of 8bitdo ones and this is my absolute favorite. The locking cord is fantastic, the weight and texturing and size, the haptics and swappable sticks and rear buttons are all just so great. Genuinely out of 30+ years gaming this is the best controller ive used even for the high price. And thats coming from a pc gamer, i dont even have a ps5, its working great especially with games that support the dualsense haptics like helldivers 2

The controller has everything that you need. Back buttons, adjustable triggers and the clear dual sense design. The controller did not solve the stick drift issue and still has drift after regular use. Yeah it does have replacement sticks but how long will the new sticks last. The battery is also really poor and doesn’t hold a charge very well.

Overall great performance, love the mappable paddles and the additional controller performance programs that unlock on the PS5 once paired up only complaint I have is battery life my results have been about 5.5 - 6 hrs max

I’ve owned a couple scuff remotes, and of course, the standard ones that come with the system but this remote by far is the best, my scuff remotes (both of them) were great until they died seven months into having them and of course the warranty was out at six months, they were also $330 compared to this one which was 200 and the thing I like about this one is you can replace the joysticks if the stick drift gets too out of control or if you have a warranty on it, you can take it back in and replace it for free and your warranty can be a year or two years depending on which one you buy or if you have a pro membership like myself, the warranty was free, the build quality of it just seems better than anything else I’ve used before so a big things to Sony for finally making a new remote with back buttons and instant triggers

The DualSense Edge feels like the natural evolution for those seeking a more tactical and customizable PS5 experience without losing the magic of haptic feedback. What truly makes it stand out is its ability to adapt to your specific playstyle, whether you're adjusting the trigger travel distance for a speed advantage in shooters or mapping the back paddles to make every movement feel more fluid. Beyond that, the ability to replace the joystick modules adds a layer of longevity that is much appreciated, eliminating the frustration of having to retire a controller just because of daily wear and tear. It is, in essence, a premium controller that doesn't just boost performance—it feels incredibly solid and comfortable during those long sessions where every detail counts.

The DualSense Edge is everything you want a pro controller to be. It's a premium design that doesn't feel cheaply made. The buttons have zero input lag and 'click' very nicely. The triggers on the back are perfectly positioned for easy access without accidental hitting during gameplay. The customizable options in the PS5 dashboard is easy to follow. The plate is a glossy finish. I would prefer a matte finish, but it's no big deal. The only con is the battery life. If you're a casual gamer, you won't have a problem. If you're hardcore, you might get 4-5 hours out of a charge. So the battery life is no better than the original controllers. They make up for it with a solidly built, long charging cord with a locking mechanism that plugs right into your controller. Charge time is pretty standard. Overall, while it might do you well to get this on sale instead of paying $200, it's a great controller and you'll be happy with this investment.

Been using the edge for about a month now and gotta say it feels really good. It’s very comfortable in my hands and very responsive. Battery is not that great but overall the controller is very good!

I purchased the Dual Sense Edge on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The controller has all the features you could want in a pro controller, a heavier feel, customization, paddles, trigger depression settings, hot swaps, etc. Once acclimating to the paddles you can add on the back I did in fact see a notable improvement in my performance in competitive games. My one and only draw back is the controllers PC compatibility—although holding that against it is dumb because the controller was designed for the PS5 not pc—I had some issues with voice chat and what not, with my computer wanting to use the built in controller mic, but for solo games or people with a better tech understanding than me, the edge rocks on pc as well
