PlayStation DualSense Edge Wireless Controller (Copy)

Playstation has gone downhill. Especially the controllers. My first ps4 controllers lasted much longer. I've had a ps5 now 2 years and have had to replace controllers 4 times. 2 for joystick drift,speaker quit working and battery quit charging. Subpar quality from Playstation.

To be honest If you have discounts and are willing to spend some money go ahead. In my experience I am currently having a slight problem with it, I thought it was me at first but now im thinking its the controller. It does this thing where it just starts to freak out and stop working properly, its very brief and last like 3 seconds but for 200 dollars man, like come on what happened to quality, I like the feel of it and it looks nice but until I realized that there was an issue with it its just somewhat annoying realizing how expensive this item is. I can't really ask for a replacement anymore since i have had it for about a bit over a month. If you guys feel like something is up with yours try and get a return ASAP.

I buy my man one every year for Christmas because his always get stick drift. I will be investing in one that you can change the joysticks because these do not last long enough for the price.

Love these all black controllers, looks good with my all black PS 5 Pro.. almost done still adding more cooling fans to the back and painting the white base Black..

This was a gift for my son, the controller is just as described, and it’s brand new! Came in a nice sony box nothing broken, love it! We had tried buying one from a gaming store but they tried selling is a used one for the same price of a new one as if that weren’t enough since we weren’t satisfied how they used one look because it was pretty dirty they tried selling us a PS4 controller. My son has a PS5 and even worse condition so we returned it and bought this one on Amazon and it did not disappoint, fast delivery brand new what else can you ask for? . Thank you!

Great controller with an amazing color — it looks even better in person. Feels comfortable in the hands, very responsive, and works perfectly with the PlayStation. The buttons and triggers feel smooth and precise.

Lots of connection (Bluetooth) issues on pc. That said, it's very comfortable. Feels substantial and the haptic feedback is really cool. I just wish I didn't have to -re-pair- it so often. Seems like this shouldn't be a thing anymore. Anyway, I love/hate it and I would recommend to PS5 owners exclusively.

the controller itself is fine the box was ripped when I opened the box, so someone ripped it before putting it in and didn't want to seal it. This is Also my second one that became my first one because i had to return the cosmic Red one. The Sticks are a little iffy at time tho and no its not just for C.O.D. it happens for other games.

Good controller. Better designed than the OG PS5 controller with some okay customization. Took some time for me to get use to the back button coming from a OG PS5 controller, but after a few hours I’m getting use to it.

For the price, the controller does feels premium, and if you ever get stick drift you just pay about $20 to replace the stick instead of spending a lot more for a new controller.

The added case, stick handles, and back buttons are nice added bonus. My only complaint is that they give you a USB type C to regular USB cable instead of both ends being USB type C. Other than that, if you have the money I would recommend this product.

Love it! It works perfectly. Package came intact no dents or issues. The color of this is so so pretty I love the "Cosmic Red". We've played Split Fiction and Astrobot with this extra controller and every feature it works with no problem. The speaker, motion, voice controls. Everything!

It's worth it!

Exelente control se siente muy bien apto para jugar variedad de juegos con el
Play station se a destacado con este control es uno de los mejores del mercado para jugar videojuegos espero que dure mucho

Battery life is significantly less than a standard PS5 controller. Profile selection button is below the left joystick and can be accidentally pressed during use and cause the profile to change during game play. The extra triggers that can be added to the underside of the controller is easier to use than the L1 and R1 bumpers. In all, a decent controller but not worth the high price.

I love the customization of the controller, and the buttons/caps that come with it are awesome. Battery life is a joke. Can't get more than 4 hours on a full charge. Included cord and lock are a required necessity if you game more than an hour or two.

Seems OK
Pretty sure we were sent a return. The tape on the box was peeled up and dirty. The controller had scratch marks around the charge port and gunk on the left stick.

The controller is excellent, the design is very elegant and in my opinion it meets all the requirements, it has a good shape and is quite comfortable, 10/10 for the controller.

Feels great to use. Software is easy to use and setup.

But there are a few issues. Top one is battery life. It lasts 3-5 hours. You have to religiously charge it, and if you do longer sessions, you’ll need to take a break to charge it. It’s a serious oversight in the design of a premium product.

My other nitpicks are partially based on comparing it to the Xbox Elite controller. The back paddles are just two. I thought it was four like Xbox, but what it was in actuality was two different styles of paddles to choose from. While on topic of comparison, the Xbox controller has a 30 hour battery life 🫠

La caja estaba maltratada y ya no es cleccionable aparte estaba manchada de un liquido rojo tuve que destapar la caja con guantes y tuve que desechar la caja

No dedicated options for additional control commands on bumpers is a missing feature from the promise a pro controller should be able to provide.
Don't let redditors tell you different.

This controller is amazing & makes my gaming easier, on 2k i get to shoot the ball fast because of the adjustable stick feature and it has extra buttons

I always wanted to buy it, but I wanted it in black, and this price reduction gave me the push I needed. I don't regret it. This controller has greatly improved my COD game and helps me simplify my movements.

A DualSense controller in my favorite color, what can I say? In my opinion, I love the feel of the DuelSense, fits well in my large hands and the buttons are all nicely placed. When it comes to certain games, I lean towards using the DuelSense, but in my opinion, the quality is great but it could be better, like using different analog sticks to avoid stick drift in the future, but then again, if they make the perfect controller, who would buy a new one.

Super controller. Like that the buttons to the game can be reprogrammed to my own suiting. Added the flip paddles to the controller and works excellent. The adjustment for the triggers for the first person shooter games makes a huge difference. I only gave 4?stars as I don’t get a lot of game time on a full charge.

Love this controller and wont buy any other ones. Its way convenient and just to know i wont have to pay $70 for a new controller every timw it get stick drift. Its always a plus. All i have to do is buy the analog adapter which is way cheaper than gettin a controller....im in love. Lol.....other than that this controller is top tier 👌🏾

This controller is comfortable to hold. I love the customization of the buttons, as well as the ability to move some around. The only downfall is the battery life. It feels like it looses juice so fast.

I got this controller as a gift for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved it. It works perfectly, responds fast, and the blue color looks even better in person. The quality feels solid and authentic, no issues at all.

The only downside is that it arrived a little late, but that was Amazon’s fault, not the product. Still totally worth it. Highly recommended!

This controller has been super good for My Son and he said that his aim has gotten way better in shooting games so this is a very good option for people who want to get better at games

The PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller is easily one of the best controllers I’ve ever used. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers make gameplay feel so much more immersive—you can actually feel different textures, vibrations, and resistance depending on the game. It takes the whole experience to another level.

The controller itself is super comfortable to hold, even during long gaming sessions. The buttons are responsive, the touchpad is smooth, and the built-in mic is surprisingly clear. The battery life is solid, and it charges fast with USB-C.

I also love the sleek design and how sturdy it feels. It’s perfect for both casual and competitive gaming.

Looks great and acts as a nice backup controller. One star off so far as I'm not sure whether there's a lose component or the vibration is more intense than my original PS5 controller but the vibration on this is Loud. Kinda sounds and feels like it's gonna shake itself apart but so far so good...

I’ve been using the DualSense Edge for about a month now, and I’ll be honest — it’s one of the most premium controllers I’ve ever held, but it also comes with a few things you should really consider before spending this much.

Build & Comfort:
Right out of the box, the controller feels sturdy and high-end. The textured grips are a huge improvement over the standard DualSense, especially during long gaming sessions. The weight is a bit heavier, but in a good way — it feels solid and balanced in the hands.

Customization:
The back paddles are a game-changer for me. They’re fully remappable and make a noticeable difference in games like Call of Duty and Elden Ring. I also love that you can save multiple profiles and switch between them on the fly. The adjustable trigger stops are another great touch if you like quick trigger pulls for shooters.

Performance:
Input response feels identical to the regular DualSense — crisp and precise. Haptics and adaptive triggers still feel as immersive as ever. The modular thumbsticks are convenient; being able to swap them out (and even replace the modules if they wear down) gives me confidence this controller will last longer than most.

Battery Life:
Here’s the biggest downside — battery life isn’t great. I get around 5–6 hours max, which is noticeably less than the regular DualSense. It’s not a dealbreaker for me since I usually play plugged in, but it’s worth mentioning.

Price:
It’s definitely expensive, and that’s where this controller will divide people. You’re paying for customization and premium feel, not necessarily a huge gameplay advantage. If you’re a casual player, the standard DualSense is still fantastic. But if you’re into competitive or long-session gaming, the Edge feels like a worthy upgrade.

Final Thoughts:
Overall, the DualSense Edge is a beautifully crafted, highly customizable controller that delivers where it counts — comfort, precision, and adaptability. The price and battery life hold it back from perfection, but if you value control customization and durability, it’s absolutely worth considering.

Realmente me encanta este mando de edición especial el mandándote tiene unos colores dorados que son brillosos y resaltan bastante sin duda alguna a mí me encanta lo recomiendo bastante a las personas que le gusta exhibirlo como decoración o coleccionarlo.

Perfect addition to the PS5. The price was normal, battery life is normal, and I have no problem with stick drift.
(As of yet…..because it’s still new)

Honestly, I am quite disappointed with this controller.

First of all, the battery drains really fast - even faster than on my regular DualSense, which is already about a year and a half old. That surprised me a lot.

The extra buttons and paddles feel kind of low quality. It seems like if you press them a bit harder, they might break.

I also wish game developers or Sony themselves would support these additional buttons by default in games. Having to manually set up everything is not something I enjoy doing. It is great that there is customization, but it would be much better if these buttons were automatically integrated into new games.

Another thing that bothered me is the weight. It is noticeably heavier than the standard controller, and switching back to the regular one after the battery dies feels uncomfortable. That is quite annoying too.

Would I buy it again? Definitely not. It is not worth the money.

El PlayStation DualSense Edge Wireless Controller ofrece una experiencia de juego premium y totalmente personalizable. Con gatillos adaptativos, retroalimentación háptica inmersiva y controles reconfigurables, brinda precisión y comodidad en cada partida. Su diseño ergonómico y elegante lo hace ideal para sesiones largas. Perfecto para quienes buscan maximizar su rendimiento y disfrutar de un control versátil en la PlayStation 5.

Better than the regular dualsense and while I'm giving 4 stars Sony is exploiting us with both of these dualsense controllers.
I've had 4 Dualsense. 1 was somehow smashed but 3 got drift in the left stick. I've never had stick drift with dualshock 2 or 3 except when left under a heavy pile and had it once with dualshock 4 but It was actually rough handled. But despite taking better care of these dualsense than any other controllers I've ever had, because they're so expensive, I've had 3 dualsense controllers develop drift. I'll save you the rant about how I can't believe Sony is getting away with this blatant carelessness or blatant scam. The edge is basically rubbing it in our faces.
I ordered this and a regular remote. The edge replaceable sticks feel so much better than the regular dualsense straight away. That's before you even touch the software settings, which there's absolutely no reason why the regular controller can't access them.
Everything on this controller just feels much more "solid" or "strong". The dualsense already had a high quality feel to them, which just makes the sticks that much more ridiculous, but every single piece on the edge feels like a much more crafted part and not hollow. The leathery feel of the grips is so nice because the similar feeling of the regular plastic grips goes away fast no matter how clean you keep your hands, and this material feels like it will feel great for a longer time. Even the face buttons and D pad feel more mechanical than the regular controller. L2 R2 L1 R1 are the one thing on the regular dualsense that I couldn't imagine being better but they are. The touchpad on the regular remote feels much looser in comparison to the edge and personally, when games are loading or when waiting I like to straddle the edge of the touchpad near the charging port and there's literally an edge to it instead of the rounded regular shape. It just feels nice and on the regular remote, fiddling there is where you will really notice the difference where one feels loosely connected and the other just feels like it's actually part of the remote.
I had heard the battery life was worse, but so far if it's not the same it may actually be better. I had always turned off adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, even though I like them, just to improve battery life. But I kept them on with the edge and it really seems to be nearly identical. The cable it comes with charges the controller pretty fast and it's an okay length but if I plug my phone or something else in it charges extremely slow.
I'm probably never going to use the case it came with and it honestly should be sold separately so the controller could be $30+ cheaper (I definitely would have tried it sooner) but it has a nice feel that really cements the thought of "man I could have saved like $40 if they sold this separately." I had to stop and pick the case up right now to make sure I wasn't exaggerating. Yeah dude this is like my Nintendo switch case that's $40 which feels like my cousin's case that was $80. Just really shows how they're giving us the illusion of value by giving us more so they can charge us more. But it's funny because $70 dualsense is knowingly sold with a single (or dual) poor quality part. You know how much cheaper it was to give the earpiece with the PS4 than to put a mic on every dualsense? And everybody just mutes it or is in a party anyway and if actually using it their kids are yelling and Mom is vacuuming and they're arguing with their family. The dualsense is a major low point.
All that said (and left unsaid) it's a nice controller and even if PS6 comes in a year or two, this controller works on phones and PC. I just started playing more PC lately and the level of compatability the dualsense has with Steam makes this the clear choice even if you don't have a PS5.
I've always liked Sony, but they always have some anti consumer B S. The PS3 DRM and gradually stripping features via updates, releasing stuff like the vita then having absolutely no faith or support for it. I've heard they're heading in that direction with their phones, yeah they make phones. And then they make God of War Ragnarok an anti war message.
4 stars though.

¡El DualSense Edge es un mando fantástico, casi perfecto! Para los jugadores más entusiastas que buscan una ventaja competitiva o simplemente una mayor personalización, este mando es una mejora significativa respecto al DualSense estándar.
Lo primero que destaca es la personalización. Poder cambiar los sticks, la profundidad de los gatillos y añadir botones traseros es un cambio de juego. Finalmente, tengo los controles exactamente como los quiero para mis juegos favoritos, desde shooters frenéticos hasta aventuras de rol. Los perfiles personalizables son fáciles de configurar y cambiar sobre la marcha, lo cual es increíblemente útil cuando pasas de un juego a otro. La calidad de construcción también se siente superior; es un mando robusto y bien hecho.
La duración de la batería es, sin duda, su punto más débil. Es noticeablemente más corta que la del DualSense original, lo cual es un poco decepcionante, especialmente en sesiones de juego largas. Aunque el cable trenzado de carga es de buena calidad y lo suficientemente largo, es algo a tener en cuenta si no te gusta jugar conectado.
En resumen, si eres un jugador serio en PS5 y el precio no es un impedimento, el DualSense Edge es una inversión que vale la pena por sus opciones de personalización y la mejora en la experiencia de juego. Si la batería fuera mejor, ¡serían 5 estrellas sin dudarlo!
Pros:
* Gran personalización: Sticks intercambiables, topes de gatillo ajustables, botones traseros configurables.
* Construcción premium: Se siente sólido y duradero en las manos.
* Perfiles personalizables: Cambia rápidamente entre configuraciones de botones y sensibilidad.
* Mejora la experiencia de juego: Mayor precisión y adaptabilidad a tu estilo.
Contras:
* Duración de la batería: Es el punto más débil, significativamente más corta que la del DualSense original.
* Precio: Es una inversión considerable.

I bought the edge for one purpose and one purpose only to no long have to use Analog stick as R3/L3 which single worse idea ever for controllers, they should of just put those button on back shell of controllers from day one decades ago. edge is simply not worth price just for that.

That said the controller is heavier then dualsense to point is aggravates my cts after using it, ( I am hope after adjustment period it will stop aggravating it) Not sure about battery but seeing I have hapitc off on trigger and rumble on medium like on my dualsense I expecting less then the 8 hours I get out dualsense.

D-pad fell bit diffrent from all dualsense i have in that it rather mushy along with face button compared to then normal dualsense, the Touchpad is much better then normal dualsense as no longer has that jiggle touchpad had on the dualsense.

Now really reason why I bought edge those back paddle buttons, the long levers are only button I like as there closest to the buttons be part of back "shell" I cant emphasis how much these back button paddles should standard on controllers and should been this way 20+ years go instead of putting them on analog sticks. and why i have not really enjoyed playing on consoles as of late. I spoiled my self when I bought 8bitdo xbox pro 2 wired with back paddle buttons for 45$ for my pc.

I love case though, Edge will go back in case when I done playing just like dual sense went back in is bag when I was done playing, it nice you can charge the edge while in case and it being closed as there is little hole you can open and plug it in. it came with nice long usb cable and locking mechanism so plug cant be just fall out. the different caps and back paddle buttons are in there too.

Now reason why I also bought 3 year warranty , since day I bought ps5 I have replace dualsense every 6 months to year, I current on my 4th dualsense that was bought less 8 months ago, either do to some trigger button breaking or drift, mean while my ps2,ps3,ps4 all have there original controllers no issues no drift. I am expecting within 6 months to have drift again. quality of controllers this gen went down the toilet imo and I would like to hope edge isnt gona do the same but from what I read it does the same, it just easier to replace sticks now.

Sony has the nerve to ask one to shipped back controller at cost to them, which ridiculously even when it under warranty special consider they know how bad drift problem is.

I like controller but is in now way worth price just for back paddle buttons. which was only reason it was bought plus it was on sale which it is almost never.

Not alot to say about the performance, feel, price etc as this technically isn't a new release, so I'm sure most us have heard of or familiar with the Dual edge controller. Unless your new to the ps5 console and accessories experience. Any youtubee could easily get yo up to date. But if you have any questions I don't mind.

Now All that's new as far as I know is this an all black addition. Which they've also released with the wireless ear buds, and the portal. Playstation isn't on top by default, it's purr market genius, if they released a color options like black addition on lunch date. They wouldnt of make as much moeny. But release them as the years go buy you Reignite the flame to want somthing you already have. Than there collectors, and those just that break stuff for views, Twitchers(if Im saying it correctly) Online Gamers, influencers. Everybody got a gimmick. That help Cataported the game Industry into a new era.

Now moving on fro that rant, I own the original and it's decent. I love the mappable buttons, and the option to save what you've mapped to different profiles for different games. The changeable joysticks is a big selling point. I have not needed to change mines a yet., As I don't use it heavily. I honestly find the standard controller work just find for my style of gameplay, I'm a story mode/quest on the kinda guy. So I do fine with the basics. Now With the common issues that these controllers have the more expensive ones feel more fragile to me. I ocne had to send my aim control back to change the joysticks haven't used it siince. Now The peeling of the rubber around the handle on the dual edge is very annoying.

Is it worth it? For me yes. I love black and it's black is beautiful and it was enough for me, I somtimes feel the price point could of been cheaper like 149.99 but when you start thinking of or comparing the price tag to other controllers which essentially does the same thing as far is adaptive triggers and multiple buttons like aim, or phantom, scuff etc 200 isn't so bad for somthing that will perform and comes with an amazing case or other accessories, I'm shocked that's not sold separately. PLEASE DON'T GET AND IDEAD PLAYSTATION!!

The gaming industry is changing before our eyes. Between the hackers, game content creators. It's drifting away from fun gaming experiences to just frustrate gaming difficulties atleast with sowm of the heavy hitters. Warzone is a mess, I can't wait to see the chaos with gta6.

Anyways happy gamming

The amount of things this controller lets you do that are different than a regular Dualsense controller you could count on one hand and don't really justify paying more than double the price, however that being said if you happen to be one of those unlucky enough to have experienced stick drift and have had to buy a new controller because of it then this controller will save you money in the long run.
The reasons being are that you can customize the dead zones on the sticks to help alleviate drift if and when it starts to develop, something that for some reason Sony decided to lock exclusively behind the $200 price tag of this controller when it could just as easily be a system level setting for the regular Dualsense. The other reason is that you can just straight up replace the stick module if it ever gets too bad for only about $20 a pop, saving you ~$50 when compared to the price of getting a whole new controller.

The other things the Edge can do over the regular Dualsense are fine, just aren't really worth the price tag in my opinion.
The back of the controller has a bit of rubber to help with grip, however its only on a very small portion on the back a bit bellow where the paddles connect to where you would rest your fingers instead of the entire back portion being rubberized which is a shame. You can set custom profiles that you can assign and swap to on the fly. It comes with a little locking mechanism attachment for the included USB cable so it stays locked into your controller, though I can't say I've ever had that be an issue with having the cable stay connected but the option is there now I guess? It comes with 2 sets of replaceable stick caps that are reminiscent of the sticks from PS 1, 2 and 3 with a rounded dome shape. It has two sets of back paddles each with different shapes that are very easy to swap as they connect magnetically, (more on those in a bit). All of it comes in a nice hard case that holds everything and even lets you charge the controller while stored inside it via a little rubberized velcro flap at the back.

Now, on to the back paddles. You're either gonna love them or hate them.
You get two shapes for choices: little paddles that you can press, or little wedges that you kinda bump downward to press. Whichever you choose, or even if you choose neither, the little holes where they connect on the back of the controller are placed in a position where you may find your self accidentally pressing them during gameplay, (and for me personally the holes are exactly where I rest the tips of my middle fingers on the back meaning I've had to adjust my grip on this controller if I want to have the paddles connected), though if they're not connected you won't have to worry about accidentally pressing them. You can customize what they do via the profile settings, however I wish they were more customizable. You cannot assign a stick function to them other than L3/R3 and while you can assign pressing in the touchpad like a button to the paddles, the settings do not allow you to set a touchpad press for either the left side or right side of the touchpad. That may not seem like an issue, but certain games treat a touch pad press differently depending on which side of the touch pad you pressed down and the paddles don't offer a way to distinguish that in a way when customizing them.

Overall when it comes to the amount of features for the price when compared to a regular Dualsense, I can't rate this higher than 3 stars. I bought this primarily because of the stick dead zone customization and the fact that you can replace the stick modules as currently I am on my 4th Dualsense due to stick drift and the Edge hopefully being the 5th and last one I'll have to buy because of that. With any luck maybe some 3rd party company will take it upon themselves to make hall effect stick modules for the Edge mitigating stick drift even more.

Edit: forgot to mention when listing the features that there are also two sliding switches on the back for the locking mechanisms for the triggers that let you adjust how far you need to pull the trigger for it to register a full input. The switches are quite easy to use and can be individually adjusted. While being east to move, you won't be moving them on accident while playing either. Only downside is that if you have the locks engaged the controller won't use the adaptive trigger effects.

UPDATE 8/27/24: Sony now gives you the ability to tweak the "exclusive" controller settings like you could only do on the PS5 console via. a new PC app called 'PlayStation Accessories'. It replaces the firmware update checker they originally had with this revamped program. It comes with all the same customizable settings from PS5, same firmware checker, battery indicator, & the deadzone tweaks/stick curve options/button remapper/custom profiles. Big win for the PC only crowd or for people like me who wanted to do that customization on another platform too.

I've only had this for a week, but I know my mind has been made up instantly. I'd like to describe this $200 product in full detail from someone who isn't big on the normal DualSense controller. No, I can't justify the price to the average person wondering if "its worth it" because this controller is clearly tailored to a certain audience. An audience where, outside of competitive gaming or having a part/full time career in the gaming industry, that heavily plays various games & wants the best possible exp. of playing it with an optimal input device. It's a 'stupid buy' item if this is just your hobby, something you can't logically justify purchasing other than 'I really want it' & you know I'd help with your setup.

I've used every version of a PlayStation controller since the PS1 days in the late 90s. Every portable PS system. I've become accustomed to many different brands of controllers along with it from Microsoft, Nintendo, third party, etc. My personal favorite controllers are the DualShock 4 PS4 & the Xbox 360/Xbox One/Series/whatever the next Xbox thing will be probably. :)

The DualSense should have always been a perfect hybrid between the size of the Xbox chasse & the PlayStation button scheme for me, but in all honesty, it's incredibly uncomfortable to use in my medium sized hands. The same joysticks of the DS4/PS4 feel miniature in the DualSense, my thumbs never center into the groove & ends up pressing into the hard edges of the thumbstick hitting the nerves of my thumb when needing to click into it, which also simultaneously strains my hands from the wide edges of the controller. Almost bulky to hold after long sessions with it. The grip is so artificial/scratchy feeling in the palms, constantly having to readjust my hand placements to use the sticks, the adaptive triggers, the ultra centered front faceplate that is so flattened in the middle of the wide chasse the DualSense casing provides. Doing hand stretches after an hr. or two just to keep using it.

The DualSense Edge is the exact same controller design [the black buttons/side stripes are a nice touch to me], & size albeit slightly heavier in weight which you can feel. However, that slightly heavier weight in the hands [believe it or not], the options for the old school domed thumbsticks from the Dualshock 1-3 days [Two different sizes: normal, 'slightly' higher], the two versions of back paddles [flat curved, disc shaped], the thicker more authentic gripping on the back of the chasse, trigger stop options for L2/R2 [3 settings], the ability to tweak & reprogram stick sensitivity curve/deadzone on the PS5 UI itself, have all combined together to make the controller in my hands infinity more comfortable & usable. My hand now rests more naturally using the two domed sticks [left is normal size/right is higher size] so my thumbs are elevated, trigger stops in the middle setting to not strain the hand pulling all the way down [have to disable for adaptive triggers], the disc shaped back paddles keep my front fingers more aligned with the back of the controller while being used for more convenient button schemes for various games so every aspect of my hands have equal movement/placement on the chasse, the grip feels almost cooled in my hands to have a more natural feel holding it for hours. Third party retailers & sellers also have a lot of solid aesthetic customization for the Edge with thumbsticks, faceplates, grips. This is why I bought it, & the research paid off for me anyways.

Also, regarding input latency. The avg. latency tests [all estimates] between the normal Dualsense vs. the Edge show dramatic improvement in overall responsiveness/consistency via. wired or Bluetooth on PS5 [tests shown are wired via. PC]. Now the difference shown is almost negligible in a casual game sess. since Sony tuned the normal ver. so well out of the box. But seeing the Edge take steps to tighten the overall button pressing even more for online multiplayer & single player games is key for a premium controller in this space.

Lastly, the case it comes with in the box is absolutely excellent. A perfect hard shell casing to protect & place all your accessories as well as a velcro top to unstrap to charge your controller in the case itself with the provided USB A to C braided cable.

The pros are great. But this is not a perfect 'pro' controller. It's time for cons & these can actually be deal breakers for a lot of people. It's why I waited so long to purchase it myself.

Cons:
- The battery life is pathetic, period. They knew it since the battery is smaller/less powerful to fit the other features in a similar case design of the normal DualSense, but PlayStation products have had this issue for far too long. Microsoft let's you use AA batteries or battery packs, other companies simply use better batteries internally. Sony has no excuse to do the same with a $200 product. It gets a max. of 5-6 hours. Thankfully the braided USB cable they bundle in is double the length & higher quality material than the normal cable bundled in PS5 consoles so it saves it for me.

- Glossy faceplate is... glossy. Fingerprints, dust, all land on it. Thankfully yet again, you can take it off with ease by pressing the 'release' button behind the controller & comes off smoothly. Replace it with an off brand version or just keep it off, it makes no difference. The replaceable stick modules inside of it are locked in tight behind the plate so its almost impossible to mistakenly unlock it yourself.

- Which leads to the infamous 'replaceable stick modules'. This should be an easy positive for Sony since its so accessible to just simply unlatch & replace with another module you theoretically can purchase from PlayStation, here on Amazon, etc. so stick drift is no longer a problem. The problem is their never officially in stock, $20 for just ONE module & not a bundle for two which to me is a laughing stock for a $200 controller, & resellers jack up the price to take advantage of "rare" stock for it. This was a marketing point for this high priced device, Sony is not allowing you to customize as advertised.

- A subjective con, but PlayStation controllers still using silicone Dpads & face buttons is just economy choices for Sony. It's not as accurate for button pressing diagonally, they can tear more easily than you'd think from constant button pressing. They are easy to replace, if you know how to take the controller apart. The premium DualSense could've used a higher quality method for button mashing.

- While the premium grip on the back of the controller is a net positive, it also comes with an equally important negative in that oxidation & bubbling from hand sweat/humid environments can happen from numerous reviews. Its been one week, & just like the normal white DualSense, I do see a black mark or two from my hands. Its not as easy to simply wipe & wash off like a normal DS since the rougher thicker grip will just resist the cloth/moisture is bad for it.

- One. Year. Warranty. Many of these 'premium' controllers from other companies comes with better warranties out of the box or consumer choice of multiple years. The typical PlayStation warranty is simply disappointing despite being able to fix most of the typical issues yourself with easy to disassemble parts of the Edge controller.

& there you have it. The DualSense Edge is an excellent improvement to the normal $70 DualSense controller for PS5/PC/etc. But it's not perfect & comes with drawbacks you have to be okay with. Purchase at your own risk, the risk could end up being very worth it in the end.

The Edge controller is a big step in the right direction, but there is still much room for improvement.

First off, the good stuff:
1) The sticks can be adjusted to fit the game you are playing, and this is a HUGE positive. Steering a vehicle and aiming a gun take different amounts of precision and you can set this to suit your needs. I like this a lot.
2) The stick caps are changeable (you are provided with two sizes of domed sticks regular and long) and I find the domed sticks easier to hold onto. I would like a shorter stick (see cons).
3) There are two buttons on the back that can be programmed. (See cons for the drawbacks.) And they give you two different types of buttons to use here. I found one to work for me and the other will set in the box. However, if they had only provided the one, it well could have been the wrong one. My guess is you will have one style that works and one that doesn't work for you, but I've been wrong before.
4) You can set the travel distance for the triggers. I crank mine way down for most things and find it a welcome addition.
5) There seems to be more grip to this than there is to a regular controller also. This helps it feel better in the hand than a regular controller. (it's still too small--see cons).
6) They say you can swap out the stick assembly (I assume for replacing sticks that drift) but they didn't provide an extra so I have no idea how this will work (or not).

The CONS--The parts looking for improvement:
1) Those "Programmable" buttons they claim are "two swappable sets of back buttons can be configured to any other button input" Don't work as I expected. I expected them to be programmable to ANY OTHER BUTTON INPUT (ie. R1+X or R1+L1+X). They are actually programmable to ANY OTHER BUTTON. This difference is HUGE!!!!! It's the difference between being able to program R1+L1+X to a single button and NOT being able to do that. The way it is I only use these extra buttons for the Options button as it is one button that is hard to reach and used far too often for the type of button it is. Adding the ability to program combo button presses onto these buttons would make this controller next door to unstoppable. In fact you would only need two more things to make it so for me and they are...
2) I want shorter sticks. Half height would be nice. If you could make them into touch pads that would be even better. And if you could make them touch pads, I doubt they would drift. And last, but not least...
3) Make it fit an ADULT human hand. This controller, like all the rest, is too small by about 25% or so. I have average hands (about 7in from base to tip) and every controller I have tried feels like I am holding something made for a kid, not an adult.
A final side note: The DEFAULT PROFILE should be a SAVED profile I can add to one of the available buttons. The way it is it permanently takes up a slot and I NEVER USE IT. This causes me to have to swap out profiles 25% more often.
