I think the biggest selling point of the controller is the replaceable joysticks... the ability to pay 19.99 instead of having to buy a whole controller is incredible

It’s wild that I’m getting this controller just to fix my chronic stick drift issues. If I could just adjust my deadzones on a stock controller I wouldn’t even need this controller

The controller feels AMAZING and if youre at least an above- casual gamer, you'll get some decent use out of it. Rainbow 6, Doom and Gran Turismo are some games that take advantage of the controller perfectly.

Ive had mine a few days and have a profile for Apex, Rogue Company and For Honor. The trigger deadzone could be useful in for honor if you exit guard mode to roll often or just to make enemy selecting quicker. Ive never actually done it but now that you mentioned it i was trying to make excuses for spending $200 on the controller and i got smart..lol

[Newbie_John]

Just being able to replace the analog sticks whenever they show signs of stick drift would almost make it worth $200 alone. No other pro controller on the market offers this type of feature. It's such a good idea.

That being said... I'm wondering if Sony knew about all of this since day one and adopted the whole "let's create a problem, then sell them a solution" type business tactic.

I like the PS Edge because of the stick module. My current dual sense controller is under a year old and it’s already stick drifting. One of my friend replace 2 controllers due to the bad stick drift. Buying a new controller every time this happens can be costly. It’s basically $20 vs $75.

Why does no one talk about how much more comfortable it is to hold compared to the regular Dual Sense? The new rounded grips are much better than the sharp edges it used to have.

The changeable joy sticks was the selling point for me. I have 10 other controllers DS4 and DS5 and they all have drift. I considered the Scuff but the drift issues made me hesitant to purchase a $200+ controller. Until I discovered the DS Edge.

I've had mine since it launched and absolutely love it. I'm not a pro player either, been playing it with The Last of Us part 2, Forspoken, Witcher Wild Hunt, Cyberpunk 2077, and many other action adventure games. Been a great experience. I play more than 10 hour sessions and it has yet to die on me.

I'm immensely enjoying the controller so far. The price point is not a huge issue when you compare it to Scuf and the integration with the PS.

[angelfigueroa]

Personally to me the price is what the price is. If you actually do research you’ll realize instant triggers alone can go for $40, the grip on both sides can range from $10-$20, the replaceable thumbs sticks if you ever get stick drift are $20 each. On top of all that you gotta look at what it took for them to actually make this whole design while keeping it close to the same design as the regular, as well as what it took to program everything new they added.

This controller is Freaking sick! I got it yesterday, and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. GT7 feels amazing, and it makes me even more hyped for PSVR2! God damn Sony is giving gamers great gaming options. Seriously.

The D pad is quite annoying during weapon change in god of war ragnarok . So I mapped the back button for axe and dual blades. So much easier to switch across and it is quick too. And also the right analog I change to quick movement so that I can react to enemies faster . Right thumbstick is higher than left so I can react faster . So far the controller is pretty good for me .

I absolutely love this controller for both Apex and Destiny 2, absolutely amazing. And it fixes my biggest issue with 3rd party controllers, namely Scuff, stick drift. As much as I love Scuff if(when) it gets stick drift you're screwed and their customer service isn't the best even within the warranty period. But in my experience it's right after the warranty that the sticks go and then it's $200+ down the drain. I picked up a couple extra sticks with mine so if these do go out like all my Dualsense's have so far(my launch one went out right after warranty, then my cosmic red went out in 9 months and the replacement one just started going bad now with the warranty long gone) I'm covered. I also got a 3 year warranty against ANY damage, including me breaking it myself, from the seller for $15 which I think is an amazing deal for a $200 premium product. So my sticks are covered for a while with anything past that just a $20 fix and anything else I do to it for the next 3 years is also covered. And I also don't use 4 back buttons, I tired it and could never get the hang of it. And really for fos games all you really need is crouch and jump mapped to the back. In Destiny it's the same though I do wish I could map a new unique button for my Titan melee hammer build. In Destiny your normal and powered melee can be mapped to 2 different buttons because by default if you're within range you do a normal melee and further out you do your powered but for something like mini hammer you wanna use powered up close while also having the option to use the normal one. I use the in-game mapping to turn off auto-melee(defaulting to normal up close) and map normal to right click(with finisher taking priority if applicable) and use the default melee button for powered but I always wanted to be able to map a paddle to JUST powered melee and nothing else for that specific build. To my knowledge there's no way to use the back paddles as their own unique buttons despite Destiny's mapping capabilities allowing any amount of buttons possible. Sony needs to add something like an R/L4 as an option for them for games that support that. Oh well, just one more thing a keyboard has an advantage on, near limitless buttons(well more than you could ever use anyway). Other than that this has been my favorite Playstation controller ever and I even like it over the Xbox Elite if just got the stick replacement alone.

This controller should be lasting you a while minimum 2-3 years the major problem with the regular one is stick drift and this solves it. Usually I go through two controllers a year.

Everyone talks like these pro controllers only make a difference in FPS but in my opinion, they do make a difference in standard adventure games, too. I don't consider myself a hardcore player who plays in the most intense difficulty settings, but even for a standard challenging sessions, one of my biggest complaints in games was not having a way to press buttons without having to remove my thumb from the right stick. For example, jumping while still able to move the camera around, or dodging, or picking up objects, which are usually actions mapped to the face buttons by default in most games. But I'm talking about having a smooth experience, too, and ever since the back buton attachment for the PS4, I've felt a huge difference when playing different games. I got my DualSense Edge on day 1 and the first games I tried it on were Ghost of Tsushima and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and something as simple as remapping my jump and dodge buttons (and for GOT, the triangle button which I had mapped for changing stands and now iI had it on the back buttons) made the combat and traversal incredibly smoother as I didn't need to be alternating my right thumb as quickly as possible between the face buttons and the right stick.

It still may not be a controller for everyone, even less at that price which I also believe is too steep, but I think both Pros and Casuals can benefit with this kind of controller if someone wants a smoother gaming experience. I use the Elite Series 2 on Xbox the same way and I had a great time using the back buttons for games like A Plague Tale: Requiem :)

[JechtAruon]

People complains about the price. Yet look at Xbox pro series 2 controller you have to buy all the sticks and paddles separately. The big selling point is the ability of replacing the stick units quickly. So instead of buying a new dual sense controller because you developed stick drift. You buy a new stick unit and swap it out in a few seconds. I will be getting the controller just for that.

If you don’t like the gloss black it’s easily fixable with a can of flat black plastic spray paint. Just pop it off and paint it. Gives you more of a unique look option you can do on your own and not have to buy custom panels.

I play pro FIFA. I think this would help with the game a lot. First of all, I like to play with more posession on the ball and quick switch up to create an attack. I use two buttons to lob the ball to switch and need to power up my pass depending on how far is the player. But, with this controller I can just map it to one of the buttons in the back and just focus on powering up. Moreover, it will help me controll the speed of the player while sprinitng by adjusting the trigger senitivity. Also, by adjusting the left stick, I can shoot more precisely on the traget.

Just bought this controller a few days ago after looking at so many reviews and videos! Right now I’m very happy with the dualsense edge, gives the 2 options for the back paddles, also got the settings you can adjust on ps5 to adjust the sensitivity on the right and left stick, which is very useful for shooting games! Wavey controller so far
