Steam Input added support for the DSE today -- don't have one to test yet but it's great news!

[waltermiguel]

As a pc gamer, I always play plugged in so the battery isn't a factor for me. I have both controllers and with the added steam compatability I tend to reach for the dualsense edge more now.

[katawonga]

Such a great comparison review buddy. I'm honestly not surprised that the Elite 2 wins out more because its not Microsofts first rodeo compared to Sony. I think the DualSense Edge 2 will be something really special.

[Alexxandru]

40 hour's wireless vs 7 hour's wireless 😅😅😅😅 For PC Elite 2 series wins no doubt. No conflicts, no anything.

[Arcvde]

Great comparison.

The production on this video is awesome as well. I hope your channel sees any growth you want.

I've had x2 elite 2s go bad. My trigger stopped responding and my B button on my newer one started acting weird.

So far I'm happy with my dualsense edge

[NeonDeionGaming]

I've always loved the playstation style controller but I agree the elite is probably the better option for PC gaming, Its a real bummer that most these pro controllers are not using Hall Effect triggers, and thats another reason why the edge has set a new standard, but of course they have to get their money. I'd love to see you try out the new Scuf Envision Pro that just dropped its defnitely will be the standard but again.... those damn thumbsticks. just deal breakers. (but they include a 1 year warranty so that helps i Great vid again brother!

elite is by far the best controller ever made. However, it's reliability issues knock it down quite a bit. Still, the elite has proper thumb-stick placement. PS controllers are always inferior because of that, no matter how "good" they are. That along with superior build, feel, compatibility and radically better battery life, it's not even a competition. I want to like the Dualsense more, but it really just seems like a normal dualsense controller with a couple extra features.

Are you crazy. I've had my oled TVs for 4 years now and they are left on all the time with no burn in what so ever.

[Gsoda]

for me the asymmetrical thumbsticks are annoying and I would rather have a compact thumbstick on the bottom instead of some buttons.

[Creshex]

Since you are talking about PC gaming, I would think addressing the major feature advantages the Edge has over the Elite would be pertinent. The PC is the platform with the power to use and customize all of the DS Edge’s special features. The touchpad, for example, can be assigned so many inputs, you could fly a Boeing simulator (I reserve mine to house a conservative 16 additional buttons though😊).
Even the non-unique features are significant, because the Elite lacks sensors found in every other console controller and the Steam Deck. You’ll see people use a Nintendo Pro controller, DS4, or Dual Sense to play games like R6 Siege, Valorant, or Team Fortress 2, but they’ll never play with an Elite.

IMO ps5 controller body is more comfortable but the analog stick layout on the Xbox is more comfortable

[DownForceSimRacing]

Great video as a competitive gamer who games long periods at a time i actually prefer a lighter controller. On my battlebeaver u had em remove all the rumble motors and any unneccessary stuff in the controller. Its light as a feather
Have owned 3 elites both v1 and v2 and lemme tell u they all broke. My v1 lasted a year. Both v2s only lasted 2 months tops before something critical broke and stick drift set in. Customer service even sent a 4th replacement and it arrived broken with drift. I will never buy an elite branded controller. Just bought the bfg and hated it for fps am gonna buy the edge today

[Bulletoc]

Xbox still refusing to release a controller without gyro is beyond old. The elite 2 would be the perfect controller if it had it

[kwameasamoah]

At the end of the day, it comes down to compatibility. The elite will remain the better option for PC gaming, since there is little to no restrictions or compatibility issues when it comes to gaming. You just plug in, then play.

[kadenielsen]

Sick of people complaining about having to throw away their Elite controllers because of stick drift or bad bumper switches. Yes, Microsoft should’ve put higher quality components in their pro controller. But joystick modules cost a whopping $8 and are straightforward to replace with a little soldering. You can replace every switch on the controller for $15 as well. Why someone would throw out a $180 controller over stick drift is beyond me, repair your stuff! It’s a complete waste of money to buy a new one.

Swapable sticks is a must for every Pro controller

[vChilly]

I’ve been a ps gamer for most of my life but recently I’ve tried to get more on the pc side but still play exclusives that come out on ps5. Do you think it’s better to go with the dual sense edge and get maybe a normal Xbox controller on the side or is there better alternatives for pc gaming?

[Co-Op_Mode]

If youre a working man, and have and hour or two to play here and there, and dont have time to feddle with driver issues and third party crap that doesnt work well, just buy the elite, plug and play, no set up needed .

If youre a geek that likes to experiment with softwares and try to do crazy s*** and don't mind with some crashes and some things don't work out of the box then definitely you can try the edge on the pc and see how you like it

So I have both, and my verdict is to go with the PS5 DSE controller. It all comes down to one bullet point for me, and that is the fine tuning of the analog sticks. I play competitively on MW2, and my horizontal sensitivity is set to 18. My aim is very good on the ES2, but it is absolute incomparable to my ability to aim on the DSE. It is a night and day difference.
