    Had my last controller break on me during an intense gaming session, this one feels better then the controller that came with my console and has the added effect of being an amazing shade of purple! Love it.

    I always liked the PlayStation controller and this red color is great to look at. Best Buy’s has there insurance for the controller which is great because the ps5 controller does have a short life span depending on how active a gamer but thanks to the insurance I don’t have to worry about stick drift.

    PS5 Controller Review

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The controller overall works great! For those who are new to gaming, these controllers are (naturally) required to operate the PlayStation 5 console device. Be sure to pick one up at your nearest BestBuy store or order one online. PlayStation 5 Controller Summary: The controller design reminds me of an XBOX controller, it has an obtuse grip, but is otherwise smooth for gameplay. Those who use these controllers for casual gaming should be fine. *I feel the new PlayStation 5 controllers could use more ergonomic design for intense gameplay. The PlayStation 5 controllers die faster than previous PlayStation 4 controllers and often require switching out. *I recommend buying two PS5 Controllers or always keeping a controller plugged in charging. *Sometimes there are sensitivity issues with WiFi routers or bluetooth device interference. Features: • Allows bluetooth pairing with other devices, such as mobile phones and tablets. • Features a built-in microphone *This feature can be sketchy at times, you must not forget to mute yourself when leaving the room so other people cannot hear you on accident. • Features a customary Playstation 5 LED touch pad for added game options and texting in-game. • The charging cable requires a "Type C" charging cable to recharge the device. *Charging usually takes about 45 minutes to and hour to fully charge. This concludes my review.

    Controller is solid. Fun color and very responsive. My daughter was absolutely thrilled when she found out she could play with this specific control with her favorite kid games. $75 is a little much but got it at a great sale price so totally worth it.

    Very good, huge improvement over PS4

    The PS4 controller was ALMOST perfect. The Switch Pro controller is perfect. This controller stands firmly in-between the two. Pros: This is the second most comfortable controller I've ever used (I have huge palms and short sausage fingers). The Xbox controller makes my hands fatigue quickly (I use the Elite Series 2 to combat this) so I minimize Xbox play. The PS4 controller, while mostly comfortable, has literally cut my fingers with the sharp edges near the triggers while playing platformers. The Switch Pro controller is my FAVORITE and this is similar. No fatigue, I played Horizon: Zero Dawn for 8+ hours at a time, which also means excellent battery life, and feels very solid like the Switch Pro controller. Cons: I've never been a fan of lights on my controller as a distraction. While, after dimming the lights, they aren't totally distracting, they're still annoying. Can't I just have the option to turn them off instead of dim? Other than that, my only complaint is the sharp edges in a couple of spots. They aren't going to cut me like the PS4 trigger cutouts, but they aren't perfectly smooth and rounded like the Switch Pro. Fix that and this is an incredible controller. Other thoughts: Durability is an issue. Not yet for me, but it will be. This is one of those controllers with guaranteed drift. Buy the replacement plan on it. You'll need it.

    The greatest console on the market needs the greatest controller on the market and this controller certainly fits the bill. Great haptic feedback, long battery life, attractive design and unlike other inferior controllers for inferior consoles, this controller is rechargeable so you won't have to pull your hair out to look for batteries every month!

    If you have a PS5, the Midnight Black DualSense is a very strong pick. It offers basically all the features that make the DualSense special: immersive feedback, adaptive triggers, comfort, etc., wrapped in a sleek, darker finish. It improves the visual aesthetic for those who prefer something less flashy than white, while largely keeping the same high performance. If I were you, I’d get one if: you often play long sessions and want comfort + immersive features you own multiple platforms (PC / mobile) and want a controller that works well across them you prefer a more subtle design I’d be more cautious if: you expect perfect durability for years under heavy use you’re very sensitive to price vs wear & tear stick drift or battery issues are big concerns for you

    Store vs. PlayStation: Let the Test Begin

    Bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband, who treats PS5 controllers like they owe him money. Given his level of “enthusiasm” when he uses them, I was honestly impressed this one lasted a little over two years. I just replaced it with a new controller purchased directly from the PlayStation store, so now we’re running a bit of an unofficial durability experiment. There’s been talk that controllers not bought directly from PlayStation don’t hold up as well, so we’ll see if there’s any truth to that. Whichever one survives the longest round in this household will definitely earn my future business. Quick breakdown: Value: Around $80 like most PS5 controllers, so pretty standard across the board. Quality: Lasted a little over two years under some very “enthusiastic” use before the internal sensors finally waved the white flag. Ease of Use: Exactly what you’d expect from a PS5 controller—no learning curve here.

    Purchasing these items was an easy process. The employees were very helpful and knowledgeable. The item itself works nicely and is ergonomic for holding and playing. The texture is nice, as my hands don't sweat as badly.
