    Love the color. Wish Sony could fix the drift modes.

    Like the controller but the left trigger broke on me after a couple months. Should be made better than that. Love the Dual Sense but this needs to be better.

    It’s awesome but cheaply made. Had to return the controller I got with the console because of the R2 button after about a month of gameplay. Had to buy another meanwhile :/

    Good, but you’d likely have to replace it every 3 months thank you, thank you, thank you.

    I would give them a 5 stars if it wasn't for the shift issue on the analog stick. mine started doing it after only a year with minimal use.

    The controller was very good for a while but then it ended up needing a retool after almost a year.

    These are the best and comfortable controllers ps5 has made. They add motion, touchpad, and sound controls all in this nice looking controller. It’s packed with way more features than the competition.

    I bought this controller for 55$ brand new. I go back to Best Buy the week of Christmas and it’s over 70$. Pretty unethical pricing. Not very cool. Controller itself is pretty cool. I got it for my wife.

    I’m sure it’s a great controller but it doesn’t work for COD without downloading another app. We are keeping it because we are waiting for COD to be compatible with it.

    The color was different in person from the picture. My main concern was that it did not to seem to function smoothly or properly. Perhaps it was refurbished and shipped to me via online order.

    Best controller to ever be released. Actually shows an improvement in tech with controllers as opposed to many companys just adding more expensive ones for better features. The downside is battery life.

    I had been waiting to get a PS5 and when that day finally came, I could not resist purchasing the red controller. Looks way cooler in my opinion and I have had no issues! Looks great and works great!

    This is the second PS five controller I had to buy since I got it in December 2020 both because the right analog stick drifts like and I am literally unable to play any games because of it. Why have I had my PS4 controller for eight years and never had this problem but now have had two ($70!!!!)controllers in one year? Loyal customers should not have to pay for this

    Ps5 controller. A bit lame that it doesn’t come with its own charging cable, but that’s Sony’s fault, not Best Buy’s.

    Controllers are faulty and break or wear easily, I got two controllers when I first bought the console, after 6 months both r2 buttons became very lose and and just lost its firmness , I bought a new one literally 1 month ago and it already has drift ugh, now I have to come back and get new one through my insurance, because I was afraid it might happen I bought the extra warranty.
