    The controller joystick moves to the left on its own. Bought this four months ago for $80 and it didn't even last a year. Non-returnable now. I'm going to buy the next one off of Amazon, they'd allow this return.

    Color was completely wrong. The return was difficult, the attitude of the associate borderline at best.

    Doesn’t stay connected via Bluetooth and doesn’t hold a charge. Never had a problem with a PS5 controller before. Maybe just a bad one.

    Best Buy

    I bought the Cosmic Red DualSense earlier this month, and it’s been fantastic. The color looks even better in person—rich and premium. Performance is excellent, with responsive buttons and immersive haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. It works smoothly across my PS5 and PC, with easy pairing. Battery life could be a bit better, but it’s manageable. Overall, it’s a stylish, high-quality controller that enhances the gaming experience.
