PlayStation DualSense Edge Wireless Controller (Copy)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
