    Controller haves a good grip and real time trigger, if your going to use it on a laptop of computer using an app, then you will have to connect using a wire

    Review – Still Holding Up Strong in 2026

    I’ve been using my PS5 DualSense controller since launch (with a few colorful variants thrown in for fun), and honestly, it’s still one of the best pieces of gaming hardware I’ve ever owned. Here’s my full breakdown after years of heavy use in Waco heat, late-night sessions, and everything from single-player epics to competitive shooters. The Good Stuff (Pros): • Haptic feedback & adaptive triggers – This is the killer feature. Feeling raindrops, weapon recoil, or the tension of drawing a bow in games like Astro Bot, Returnal, or Horizon feels next-level immersive. No other controller matches this level of “you are there” sensation. Even in 2026, new titles still make great use of it. • Ergonomics & comfort – The shape fits my hands perfectly for long sessions (4+ hours no problem). The textured grips keep it from slipping even when my hands get sweaty during intense matches. Way better than the old DualShock 4 in every way. • Build quality & feel – It feels premium – sturdy buttons, responsive sticks (so far no major drift on mine, fingers crossed), and that satisfying click on the face buttons and D-pad. The built-in mic is surprisingly clear for quick party chat, and the Create button is handy for clips. • Versatility – Works great on PS5 obviously, but I’ve also used it wired/wireless on PC for games that support the haptics – it’s a solid all-rounder. The Not-So-Good Stuff (Cons): • Battery life – 6–10 hours depending on how much you crank the haptics/triggers. It’s not terrible, but I usually need to charge midway through a long weekend session. Not as bad as some early complaints, but still shorter than I’d like. • Stick drift potential – Mine’s been fine, but I’ve seen plenty of friends deal with it after 2–3 years. Not as bad as some Switch Joy-Cons, but it’s a known weak point over time. • No back paddles or pro features – If you’re into competitive FPS or fighting games, you might want something like the DualSense Edge or a third-party pro controller for extra buttons and customization. The standard one keeps it simple. Overall Rating: 9/10 The DualSense is still the king of standard controllers in 2026. It’s not perfect (battery and drift are real concerns long-term), but the immersion from haptics and triggers makes almost every supported game feel special. For the price (especially if you got it bundled), it’s an absolute win. If you’re debating a second one or a fancy colored version – go for it. Still my daily driver. Would I buy it again? 100%.

    PS5 Controller Thumbsticks Sucks!!!!

    I like the color itself. The issue is I feel like Sony rushed making the PS5 Console and accessories. The PS5 Controller Thumbsticks are made far too loose. Im not a fan of it at all. The PS4 controller were made more tighter and lasted a lot longer because of it. I hate loose thumbsticks. It messes up my gameplay when it comes to shooting or running mainly among other things.

    As always, PlayStation knocks it out of the park when it comes to their hardware. This controller is very sturdy. However, the colors of this model in particular do tend to shift in different lightings. Sometimes it looks more magenta at night and in the daytime it looks more maroon to me. With that said, this color in particular may be difficult for some to enjoy. I know most people go for the black model, and I did try both to in case I didnt like the red model. So it’s a hit or miss.
