Customer Ratings & Reviews

The new controller feels great and more comfortable than previous playstation controllers. Haptic feed back adds a new dimension to games that implement it. Really happy with the new controller and like the black color. Wating to get matching plates for the ps 5.

I purchased the Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless Controller in Midnight Black from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The shipping was incredibly fast, which was a big plus since this was exactly what my 9-year-old son was wanting for his birthday. The sleek black design looks amazing, and the controller feels great to use. My son has been playing nonstop and absolutely loves it! Thank you, Best Buy, for a seamless purchase and quick delivery. Highly recommend!

Well made, not too heavy controller. Great job Sony you did it again.

First and foremost, the design of the PS5 controller is a remarkable departure from its predecessors. The sleek, futuristic aesthetic immediately catches the eye, and it feels incredibly comfortable in hand. The slightly larger size and ergonomic contours make it a joy to hold, even during extended gaming sessions. One of the standout features of the PS5 controller is the adaptive triggers. These triggers dynamically adjust the resistance based on in-game actions, providing an unprecedented level of immersion. Feeling the tension as you draw a bowstring or the pressure of braking in a racing game adds a new dimension to gameplay, making it more realistic and engaging. The haptic feedback is another standout feature that truly sets the PS5 controller apart. The dual

The DualSense controller for the PlayStation 5 is absolutely amazing! The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers take gaming to a whole new level, making the experience more immersive and interactive. It feels very comfortable in the hands, even during long gaming sessions. The battery life is decent, and the build quality is excellent. Our kids love how responsive it is, and it’s a perfect match for the PS5. Highly recommend it for any gamer!

Beautiful color, works great. All the buttons work, holds charge well.

The PS5 Red Controller is absolutely outstanding. The vibrant red finish looks even better in person—sleek, bold, and a perfect match for any setup. The build quality feels premium, with responsive buttons, smooth analog sticks, and adaptive triggers that add a whole new level of immersion to gameplay. The haptics are incredibly precise, making every game feel more engaging. It’s comfortable for long sessions, holds a solid charge, and connects instantly with no issues. If you’re looking to upgrade your controller or add a stylish new one to your collection, this red model is definitely worth it. Highly recommended!

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.

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

Works perfect. Color is nice. No drift or imperfections found on the remote.

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 works as intended love the black color

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
