Customers are saying

Customers value the appealing color options, sleek design, and solid overall performance of this controller. Users frequently highlight the comfortable grip and enjoyable haptic feedback as key benefits during gameplay. However, some individuals have expressed concerns regarding the prevalence of stick drift and the relatively high price point of the device. Additionally, a small number of users noted issues with button responsiveness and the overall weight of the unit.

    Just waiting for an aftermarket controller

    This is the second one I've purchased after the original and the first purchased one developed serious drift issues. I'm betting thisa one will have the same fate after a couple months of play time. Google it. I believe there is a class action suit against Sony for this since its so prevalent. There are plenty of video's and write-ups on how to fix the drift issue but all have proven to be temporary and not perminent, at least for me. I'm certainly not going to take it apart and clean the potentiometers as some suggest, shouldn't have to. I'm hoping that another company will step up with an aftermarket compatible controller soon.

    It stopped working after 2 weeks. It always happens with devices that are not bought with PS consoles. It happened with my previous PS4 device that I bought from you and it is happening with the new PS5 now.

    I’m really disappointed with the quality of this controller, the battery lasts noticeably less time than my other dualsenses and has a terrible rattling noise coming from it when it is vibrating from game play.

    Amazing color! Sadly I received a lemon that is defective. The touch-pad freezes and doesn’t respond to haptic touch.

    Sony controller sticks drift after little use

    The sticks drift after 3 weeks of daily play. Best buy won't take return after 15 days, then you have to pay to ship it back to Sony for either repair or refurbished one after buying it new. Sony has major issue with these stock mechanisms and the cust is paying for it. Would never purchase another controller from best buy. The extra insurance is 20.00 when target charges 8.00.
