DualSense Edge In-Depth Review: It's Great But There's Two Problems

After years of third party Pro controllers for PS4 and PS5, Sony has finally released an official OEM version themselves, and it's called the DualSense Edge. These controllers can be pretty pricey, and this one is no different coming in at $199.99 USD. So let's breakdown all the software and hardware features this thing is packing. Is the DualSense Edge worth it? Maybe, but it's not without it's issues. Just like me, but we're not exactly here to go over that right now. GOSH.

Keep in mind that the original dualsense has now gone through 4 different iterations so it's always worthwhile waiting and getting a second or third version.

Two notes:
• The quick game chat volume and balancing functions work with the Steel Series: Arctis Pro (wireless) flawlessly.
• The cable lock works with the original usb-c cable that your console comes with. You do not have to use the braided cable that come with the controller.

Most comprehensive review of the controller I've seen on YT. Thank you

[princegroove]

Mystic’s reviews are always thorough and informative. 👍🏻

[Walking-MY-Path]

This is one brilliant review right here. Most dedicated and comprehensive review about Controllers on YouTube I’ve seen thus far. Keep it up Mystic👍

[Scion]

This was, by far, the best review of the DualSense Edge I have seen on Youtube. I'm still trying out the controller and so far I really like it. For many games, I have mapped L3 & R3 to the back buttons. This has really helped keep the pain down in my thumbs for those games calling for repetitive push downs on the analog sticks. My hope is that this product will hold up as I have already "lost" one controller due to stick drift.

[derekdrozdzak]

this was the most comprehensive guide for this controller that I have come across so far. you mentioned many things that others have not and I appreciate that. thank you

[TheXCRaZySkiLLZ]

Great review! Best one I’ve seen so far! Thank you for being honest and very detailed. Although, I wish the battery life was better than it is, I still can’t wait until mine arrives to try it out for myself.

[LtFulcrum]

The most useful feature is the stick replacement. They should add that feature to default controller(maybe not the stick swap just the drift fix).

[MIarCHAngEL_TTV]

Great review Mystic! Very thorough and concise, I was on the fence about picking this up but after watching this I am pretty much sold on it, thanks for this helpful video.

[PeppahJack]

Watching this speaks to how much I enjoy your stuff Mystic, ik the pro controllers aren’t for me but I always enjoy your breakdowns.

[Drewbybooby]

I bought one and wanted to find a good review to show my friend. Yours was perfect and addresses everything, including the headphone volume issues (which I hope will be fixed via patch) and the battery life. Keep up the good work, dude!

[NIXNE]

So far I have had a very positive experience with mine. Im finding it difficult to go back

[Tackitt]

Great review. Glad you showed the finger positions of the back buttons.

[michaelriverajr]

Just got mine yesterday. Watching this on how I should get ideas for customization for mine

[chacazulo]

I’ll keep this on my wishlist for the future. This controller looks really good. It’s a bit expensive but eventually i’ll get it.

[MaystBurst]

Ok I have to admit the analog stick swapping is pretty cool.

[Bruinsfan]

I skimmed through this via the chapters but I listened to the parts that I was looking for and you covered it very well. Great review overall.

[TheMightyProdigy]

Mystic, you’re the best at putting together a thorough review. I watched your video after I bought my new controller and it helped even more than trying to figure out a lot on my own.

[bruh-ytxj]

Thanks for the review so I can see it, how it performs and if it is really worth it.
