Customer Ratings & Reviews

Sony has revised their controller design over years, and the current DualSense, for the PS5, inherits the best of the previous DualShock controllers. I think that we are generally well past the point of Xbox-vs-PlayStation controllers; If you prefer one, then that’s nice. Most modern PC gaming can work well with either by now, so you only get locked into one style if you’re using that specific console. And honestly, both are great controllers. It’s just preference. Where the Sony DualSense differentiates itself is with the unique touchpad (like the DS4 before it), and the adaptive haptics and trigger feedback. These are potentially really cool to use, when games take advantage of the features… But most don’t use more than a portion of that functionality. Team Asobi’s Astro Bot titles are almost the only ones to go “all in” on those features. And some other games do try to use the trigger feedback to provide more player info regarding things like bow/arrow, recoil, tension, etc. And many more use a bit of the rumble and haptics. It is capable of a very “HD” level of feedback, which can convey the surface on which a characters walks or drives, down to the tiniest details. Still comes down to how well a game implements it. This color variant is nice, although it doesn’t quite have the same textured feel in hand as the more matte versions. But it looks stellar, if this is your style. I like this one about as much as the Chroma Pearl. Otherwise, it’s the same controller - Pretty durable, decent battery life, all the audio features (mic, speaker, audio jack), and the nice USB-C rechargeable battery. I do recommend the Sony charging dock, which uses contacts below the analog sticks, rather than having to plug/unplug all the time. There are a few third party versions which are okay too, like one by Razer, but it’s only for single controllers. The only “con” worth mentioning is that the price just hasn’t ever gone down on these, and like most video game consoles, accessories, or software, prices only seem to go up. I only purchase extra controllers while there is a sale, so it was very exciting to see these special edition ones drop enough for me to rationalize getting one. Overall, still a great controller. It’s the only real controller for PS5, and works pretty nicely for PC gaming too. The color is up to your taste. Many of the features are just not utilized by all of the games, but it’s cool what they’ve packed into this thing. Value is the only point where I get hesitant, just because of the price.

I mean, I guess I got a small discount but if this is Beat Buy’s idea of “excellent” open box condition I’d hate to see a lower tier…

My PlayStation controller have been broken can get a new controller

This is the first playstation I own, and my decision was based on this controller, it feels great overall-response time, vibation, sounds, motion. Top controller!

Love the camo look. I Will get the dual charger later.

Beautiful and high quality as always. Thanks to sony.

I purchased this replacement controller as my original has the analog drift issue. The purple really stands out so I can tell the difference from the original.

Basic PlayStation 5 controller does what it's supposed to do nothing more nothing less just a different color don't even know why you need to write a review.

This remote worked fine for about 3 months and that was it. I used it a decent amount no crazy accidents or anything and the left analog stick started acting very weird. It made me stop playing my PS5 for awhile solely because of how unreliable it was. When i asked if i should pay to get it fixed, they recommended buying an entire new one. A year later im dusting off the PS5 and bought a new controller that is supposed to be updated and with a warranty just to be safe. The white controller that came with my PS5 did the same thing as well in the same amount of time. So annoying

Great controller as usual . Feels a bit larger than the ps4 controller and the color is cute. Bought on black friday so it was $50 rather than $75.

I just bought the PS5 DualSense controller in camouflage, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice! The design is visually striking and has a rugged feel that stands out from other controllers. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers really enhance gameplay, making every action feel more immersive. I appreciate the textured grip, which helps during longer gaming sessions. The battery life is solid too, lasting through my marathon gaming sessions. The only minor downside is that it can show fingerprints, so I have to clean it occasionally. Overall, this controller is a fantastic addition to my gaming setup, and I highly recommend it!

They worked great for a couple of months and then they quit charging

Nice but doesn’t hold charge for too long. Constantly needs to be charged.

Great price for a oem Sony camo controller. Tried to get my dad a ps4 and none around (59.99+) Bought for my wife to give me for Christmas.

Incorrect item condition status. Controller was a different finish suggesting it was pulled from a system combo and returned to Best Buy, rather than a returned loose sold controller. Also the headset connection port was cracked, which I would consider fair used condition, not excellent.

Bought this for my son for Christmas. It's April 1st and the stick drift is so bad it's unusable.

Love the collor. And of course this is the best controler ever created. Love the trigger adaptation in every single game.

The adaptive triggers and haptic feedback really add to immersion, especially in PS5 games. It also works great on PC and mobile, which makes it very versatile. Comfortable to hold, responsive buttons, and excellent battery life overall. Sony really nailed this controller.

I bought this controller at Best Buy during the Christmas season, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The build quality is excellent and it feels very comfortable in my hands, even during long gaming sessions. The buttons are responsive, the triggers feel smooth, and the haptic feedback really makes the gameplay more immersive. The battery life has also been very good so far, and the controller connects instantly to the PS5 with no issues at all. I also love the design — it looks sleek and modern. Overall, this controller performs exactly as expected from a PlayStation product. If you are looking for a reliable and high-quality controller, I definitely recommend it. Great purchase and totally worth it!

Terrible, it does not hold charge at all I can only use it if it's connected to the console at all times. Didn't come with original packaging or a cable. Defective product.
