    PS5 controllers are a fraud. They never last 6 months without having stick drift and unresponsive buttons.

    The pad looks good. I like the color and it sound and vibration functions more than the joy stick that came with the ps5 console.

    I bought my PS5 and added the extra controller. I am not a hard-core gamer. I play on the weekends occasionally. Both of my controllers do not work properly after 1 year. For 75.00 a controller that is not cool.

    Refurbished controller didn’t even last a week. When using everything goes to the left. I’m disappointed because I so wanted to love the controller since it is my favorite color. Guess I will have to buy brand new one. Best buy shouldn’t offer refurbished products if the products don’t actually work.

    Bought pre-owned from best buy. Condition was listed as excellent (like new). Only realized 1 week in that the D-pad was defective (up arrow on D-pad did not work). Quality control on the pre-owned products seems to be cursory at best as a 2nd controller I purchased pre-owned had terrible drift. If you have to buy from Best Buy, recommend new. Don't even bother with pre-owned.

    I recently purchased the Sony PlayStation 5 DualSense Controller from Best Buy, and I can confidently say this is the best gaming accessory I’ve ever owned! From the moment I unboxed it, I knew I was in for something special. Design & Comfort – A Game-Changer Sony has truly perfected the ergonomics with the DualSense controller. It feels incredibly comfortable in my hands, with just the right weight and grip. The button layout is intuitive, and the sleek, futuristic design looks amazing next to my PS5. Haptic Feedback – Mind-Blowing Immersion The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers redefine gaming. Feeling the tension in the triggers while drawing a bow in Horizon Forbidden West or sensing subtle vibrations while racing in Gran Turismo 7 makes every moment incredibly realistic. It’s not just a controller—it’s an experience. Battery Life & Connectivity – Flawless Performance Battery life is exceptional, lasting hours of intense gaming. The fast charging via USB-C is a huge plus, and the wireless connection is seamless, with zero input lag. Whether I’m gaming solo or playing online, the DualSense never misses a beat. Best Buy Service – 5 Stars! Best Buy made this purchase effortless! Easy online ordering, fast shipping, and perfect packaging—my controller arrived in pristine condition, ready to power up my gaming sessions. Final Verdict: A Must-Have for Every Gamer! The DualSense controller is a true masterpiece that enhances every aspect of gaming. Thank you, Best Buy and Sony, for delivering an unforgettable experience! If you own a PS5, this is an absolute must-buy.

    Functionally it’s the best controller out there but the battery life is soooo bad. After a year it lasts about 3 hours.

    Surprisingly good with input lag over Bluetooth compared to my Xbox one controller. At first I thought it was broken, but if you use it with Bluetooth on PC you need to remove it from paired devices before plugging it in directly for adaptive triggers and haptics.

    The controller itself is amazing. My problem is that I got a faulty controller with damaged speaker and I didn’t notice that until it was too late to return.

    Completely useless after 4 months

    Got analaog drift about 4 months after purchase. Sony's warranty will replace it for "free" but I have to ship the controller and pay for that myself. Not only that, it could be weeks before receiving a replacement. With the Joycons I was fairly forgiving, because it took over for me to experience. But in this case, Sony, I am very disappointed. Countless publications have brought up the issue, and your company should be going out of its way to make it easy to solve these kinds of problems. Just leaving this review as a warning to others thinking of picking up this controller.

    Battery life is short and you get stick drift too fast so you're constantly buying new controls. The trigger feels good and the resistance you get from the is a neat feature, but the other two problems i mentioned really keeps me from giving much credit to it. Especially with the price

    It worked fine for about four months then the R3 button started to stick. Happened to another controller I had but not within 4 months of purchase.
