thedarkstark Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Dualsense are some of the worst controllers I can remember in terms of build quality and battery life and this doesnt seem to address either of those issues, definitely not worth $200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre801 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I don't have a PS5, but when it comes to controllers, I don't even like Rumble(I immediately disable it for every game), so I'd probably turn off all that haptic stuff, so maybe battery life will be fine for me once I finally get one.

I am 36 years old and I've never broken a controller (besides joycon drift) in my entire life... until the ps5 came out I've since broken 2 DS controllers. The triggers will shatter into a billion pieces if you breathe on them too hard. The battery life also sucks, I get like 4-5 hours with rumble & lightbar low and sound off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Is this thing actually $200 or are people just going off what I said? I just meant that’s what I’m willing to pay for it, if it has full pc wireless support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclyp Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 PS5 controllers are no more fragile than PS4 controllers and certainly have just as good if not better battery life. TBD on stick lag but PS4 pads were absolutely rotten with it and it seemed at least for me, to get worse as the gen progressed (even with new controllers). The battery life and stick drift is all I care about, and I’m not real sure drift has been a significant issue yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think my PS4 controller has been fantastic and I've owned it for years. Not one issue with it. Same goes for my PS5 controller. It's built extremely well imo and I don't foresee any potential issues with this thing either. I treat my stuff exceptionally well so that plays into it as well. I'm not interested in this new controller though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 My PS4 controller never held a charge for long. I always had to keep it plugged in and it made me not want to play PS4 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 My first ps4 controller lasted for years. The 2 I got after got stick drift about a year later. My launch ps5 controller has drift sometimes but it's still usable. On a menu, the cursor will sometimes be creeping across the screen but if you jiggle the stick it stops and seems fine for a while. Not sure if I'll get the Edge or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 I swapped in larger capacity batteries into every DualShock 4 I got, the battery life of all the models at and for a while after launch was straight ass. The DualSense doesn’t last as long as the switch pro controller or the Xbox ones, but it’s not so bad that I’ve been tempted to split one open.

The battery life and stick drift is all I care about, and I’m not real sure drift has been a significant issue yet? When using the PS5 controller for last gen games, or games that simply don't use haptics and adaptive triggers, the battery life is about 10-12 hours, which is totally fine IMO. However, on games that make heavy use of both, ie: Forbidden West, the battery life is less than 5 hours according to most users. For me, I don't care that much as I have a power outlet by my couch and can just plug a USB C cable into the controller, but I certainly understand the complaints. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also incredibly comfortable. Battery life isn't great, but im an adult, I don't game for 5 hours at a time except for once every year or so for a major release. It's by far the best controller Sony has ever made. Now, if you want an extremely fragile controller, get an Elite Series 2. Mine is garbage, and they are notoriously unreliable. Series X still has the most responsive controller, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of durability is being able to withstand "normal wear & tear" which includes small drops like for instance the 2 feet from my couch to the floor. Again never had any issues with that in any controller over the past 30 years until I got a PS5. Is it the best controller sony have ever made? Maybe? That's not a very high bar to clear though.

Weird. I've dropped my dualsense off the arm of my gaming chair so many times, and it's been bulletproof. Both of them have been great (though my purple controller has been used far less). And while I wish it was as quick and snappy as the xbox controller, it's so much more comfortable for big hands like mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
