While the device is generally well-regarded, some users have expressed concerns regarding stick drift and the premium price point. Additionally, a small number of customers have noted minor issues with button responsiveness and the physical weight of the unit.

    Already started drifting after less than a year of gaming and I don't play a lot everyday. Also, the rubber grip peeled, really poor quality from Sony

    I have owned & used the controller for 5 weeks and the L3 button is already forcing a strong drift to the left. Waste of money. If you buy it, get the warranty.

    Face buttons are loose and wobbly compared to my white controller that shipped with my console. The trigger buttons seem a bit off too. Will be returning this one and hope this isn’t a problem with all of the midnight black versions.

    Don’t buy things online via bestbuy especially if it’s in store because then it’ll take them forever. This literally took you guys almost 2 months just to send me the controller even tho it is one of the most available products for the PS5

    Bought an open box that a customer scammed and said it was brand new. That controller was rode hard and returned broken. Be careful on what you buy open box. It said excellent but the right trigger was about to fall off.
