Customer Ratings & Reviews

Why pay extra? The black and whites are $10 cheaper, than the other colors, so as usual we had one of our original White controllers get the dreaded 'drift' so we tossed it, and replaced with with this black one.

This controller is rather interesting to talk about. It is not the regular Dual Shock controller design as it's a bit more wide and angular at the bottom. The buttons and layout are the same, but the wider and bigger controller are more comfortable than previous dual shock controllers. Another thing to focus on is the dpad which is still improving. It's not as good as something like a Sega Saturn Dpad or a Genesis six button dpad, but it is still better than the joke that Microsoft calls a dpad or the Nintendo "buttons" pretending to be a dpad. The analog sticks are also a bit nicer than the previous consoles analog sticks as they feel a bit nicer on the thumb.. The controller also thankfully finally got rid of those lightbars that illuminated the room. The only thing I could hate on with this controller is the price. Seventy bucks for a controller is a real punch in the face. NES controllers were ten or fifteen bucks when I was a kid. Dreamcast controllers were 25 and Playstation 2 controllers were 35. But controllers being seventy bucks is one punch in the face especially when the battery dies quickly and one needs multiples if one wants to play multiplayer games. It's almost three hundred dollars of controllers to play a four player local game of Sackboy's Big Adventure or Puyo Puyo Tetris 2.

Great control, and color! Works well and has lasted a long time now.

This was a christmas present for a child of a friends. He absolutely love the color of it and the smoothness of it.

Great controller, nothing more to ask for if not looking for pro series. Style is sleek, sweat and dirt do not appear as easily compared to a white model. Easier to clean, feedback is good, comfortable grip.

Very nice color great battery life overall a really good remote.

The OG Ps5 Dualsense, you can’t go wrong with it. What lacks in battery makes up for it in the design, haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that make your game feel truly next gen.

great controller works as intended love the black color

I have 2 dualsense controllers. I used them both exclusively on PC bluetooth. I've used them before on PS5. To me these controllers have become my go to over the Xbox ones. They do have their issues. They don't work with most PC game pass games via bluetooth. Most of their extra features aren't supported either. The battery life is abysmal at around 8 hours compared to 20+ hours of 2 AA or the rechargeable battery packs. But the Sony branded charging stand is really nice and these days I rarely play 8 hours straight so it's not a big deal. The giant touchpad and light around it is kind of useless and not just on PC either. Even most PS5 games just don't use it. I also dislike the small beady start button and share button. I wish they were larger. I also hate the material they use to make the sticks, but the reason I won't count that as a negative is I use kontrol freek lotus thumbsticks for all my controllers so that is negated for me. Those are the main complaints I have. Where this controller really shines is the buttons. The dpad is well played, silent, and great for getting around menus and playing 2D games. The face buttons are flat and also silent. It makes me forget I'm using the controller half the time. The sticks once I have them configured are great as well and the shoulder buttons are easy to get to and have have plenty of room. These controllers are larger than the dual shock 4 so if you have small hands they may feel to big. But once you get used to them they kind of just meld into your hands. I wish they had slightly better bluetooth support for PC, but so far they work on most games.

Love the color, easy to pair and works well instantly.

This is a beautiful controller. It works just as well as the blue and white controllers that came with our PS5, but this one is in a Cosmic Red that just screams "modern" and "victory".

The Sony DualSense Wireless Controller – Midnight Black is easily one of the best controllers I’ve used. The all-black design looks super clean and gives the PS5 a more sleek, premium vibe compared to the standard white controller. It feels solid in your hands, and the textured grip makes it comfortable for long gaming sessions.

The color is beautiful and works just as I would’ve imagined.

As much as my son uses his Playstation not just for games but watching TV, he has gone through many remotes over the years. They are great and hold up well with regular everyday use.

I love these PS5 controllers! They’re well-built, feel high-quality, and work perfectly with my PC. In my opinion, Sony controllers are superior to any other brand—they offer great performance, comfort, and reliability.

I enjoy this controller and love how sick this color looks in person. battery last a while! the voice chat through the controller works great. one of the best controllers for the PS5

Exact same as the controller that is provided with the console, just a different color. It’s perfect.

Sony knows how to make a perfect overall controller. I am using this for casual gaming on my PS3, PC, iOS, and occasionally Switch (via adapter). This controller feels great to hold and works perfectly across all the platforms. The battery lasts quite a long time too. No complaints after 4 months.

Love the color! Works great. Lightweight, buttons are easy to push and not get stuck. Love this controller.

This controller works the same as the one that came with the game ,why the playstation does not come with two controllers is greed ,much like apples new Iphones bot coming with a charger
