    This was a great deal from Best Buy. The controller has no working issues. It was an out-of-box purchase. The controller arrived on time, and it looked brand new when it arrived in the mail. I was very content with my purchase. I might buy 2 more!!

    Love this color, unfortunately had to exchange for a new controller because of stick drift. Best to always pay for the protection plan on controllers, you will be glad you did!!

    I love that it's not crimson red as the ps4 ones were. The design feels very nice. Hubby has carpal tunnel and he can play for hours thanks to the unique design that just fits so well. The color itself is also very easily gender neutral and stands out well.

    [Employee of bestbuy] The PS5's Dual shock 5 controller is pretty reliable and durable. I'm a huge fan for the Galactic purple controller, mainly cayse I, myself, enjoy the color purple a lot and they didn't make this shade of purple too dark or too bright.

    I love the feel of the PS5 controller. I use it primarily with my PC. That said, ive gone through 6 of these in the past 3 years. I'm not hard on my controllers. I'm a dad who gets to play maybe 6 hours a week. I don't have sweaty hands, I don't have them next to a furnace or any other dusty environment. I just don't get it. Every 3-6 months they begin drifting. I correct them in game with dead zone adjustments. But it gets to the point where it's unplayable. I was just getting the geek squad protection on them so I didn't have to send it into Sony every time and could swap them out on the fly. But after the 5-6 time I got tired of it. I replaced it with the pulse for the sole fact that it has replaceable stick potentiometers. Fingers crossed its more convenient. My N64 controllers still work from 1996 without drift... Why can't we figure this out SONY?! Lol.. (I know that's an apples to oranges comparison tech wise but c'mon!)

    This PlayStation 5 Controller seems to be working better than the original from January 2021. That one was defective & have heard from others of the same issues. PlayStation should have replaced the defective controllers. Love the purple color! The Black Friday sale made this a great deal!
