Apologies for saying Dual Edge Sense in the video, I'm dyslexic and continued to read my script wrong 🙏
Ok it's, bro. Dionysus gang❤😇
do you use kontrol freeks on your daul sense edge. and its ok to be dyslexic iam deslexic too
@@fareselbarbary7380 not kontrol freeks as I think they're overpriced for what they are but I use similar products sold on Amazon - yes! At a fraction of the cost.
If you spend over 300 hours its probably worth it
I guess I've spent over 300 hours on it because it is my favourite and I didn't want to put it down 🫣
How is the battery life? Because I am planning to buy this and I play 12 hours a day.
@@luigihatesyou4217 probably 2 hours
@@luigihatesyou4217 around 5 and a half hours

Been using it for about a month now and it’s my favorite controller. It might take a few days to get used to the paddles but once it feels natural it feels so nice. The price is steep but there are plenty quality of life features that make it worth it imo.
Nice! I am glad you're liking it - the price is a lot but if you look at other pro controllers in this league - Xbxo Elite 2 or SCUF they are all in that ball park OR more expensive and with a worse warranty.
Do you have to use the paddles? Or can you use this as a regular PS5 also? Thanks
@@gottijunior5594regular I assume
I hope your channel gets the subscribers it deserves, this was such a great video to watch and listen to. Very informative and glad I found this channel, I have now subbed. Seriously great job! Glad I’m hear!
Awww buddy, that's such a kind message. Thank you so much. I'm glad you are here too!
Thank you for this video. I've made my decision and getting one today. Wish I didn't wait so long.
Awww that's awesome! Any problems - feel free to hit up my comments and I will do my best to help.
Ty for an honest long-term review
You're more than welcome buddy.
Nice vid, straight to the point, no clickbait. Like deserved.
Can't decide between edge or scuff, playing ranked warzone, wanna jump and slide, without disrupting my aim, got annoyed by others who aims and jumps like crazy at the same time.
Which would you go for?
I've never used a scuff so I can't comment sadly. I always heard scuff are awful for quality control and also being one of the most expensive - they've not been at the top of my list for giving my money 😅
How are the face buttons after this amount of time using it? Are they still crisp? The edge felt that it was softer to push than the standard DualSense, but it might have been a design decision. Takes a bit of getting used to, but it worries me a bit regarding the durability of the membranes.
To be honest - most controllers membrane buttons feel a bit janky eh? I've had a few concerns with it but so far nothing to point out. They still press the same.
@@iamthegamingnerd Nice to know. I mean, you'd see boatloads of complains in forums regarding this "mushy" button, but I kind of feel like this is by design and it actually feels pretty good ergonomically as I've been using a much cheaper controller on PC (Gulikit) with way crisper buttons. They're what I used to be used with and getting the dualsense edge, gave me an initial impression of an abused controller button (but it was just me at the beginning lol). Overall, I prefer this short distance button presses now and if it's all good with you then I've nothing to complain then :)
Obviously everyone's preference of button press style is subjective 😄 but yes - all good from my point of view. A flaw or a minor point I'd rather have than that of the Microsoft Elite or uncomfortable back paddles.
I also own the Hex Rival and Ultimate controller as well as Battle Beaver and really like those but the Dualsense Edge looks like a must-buy. It's got more features than those have and I love the aesthetic😊
I have a hex ... its the joker decal covered controller in the video. I love them them too BUT and a big BUT the back buttons are awful.
@@iamthegamingnerd I don't mind the backbones one trick I use to prevent me from tapping them is put a thin piece of bubble wrap underneath it. It cushions it when I don't need to use it.
Try it
@@Macktube my issue isn't accidentally presses it's the opposite. Ergonomic placement and they're so stiff it's unnatural
Hi, thanks for the review. I saw some users reporting rubber grab peeling or getting bubbles… have you experienced?
Not from me. I'm probably closer to 500 hours now and what I am noticing is circle sticking a bit but might just need an air blow.
What do you guys think of the DualSense? Do you own pro controllers yourself? 😮
no i only own the normal dualsense controllers
I have the DualSense Edge... My issue with the triggers aren't the clunky sound, but with the fact that when set to the shortest trigger stop setting you still have to press the trigger in quite some distance.
@@jlmelgarejo that's the same with all trigger stop controllers unless you opt for a brand that does mouse buttons.
I've got an elite core, I would buy the dualsense edge if it was 50% off, £210 for a pretty marginal improvement on the regular dualsense is quite frankly ridiculous.
£160 for xbox elite is quite substantial too ... and when I have gone through 5 of them all breaking - I just can't recommend them at all.
It’s absolutely worth it, the back paddles are so much fun to use.
Agreed!
I have to ask since youve used the controller for quite a bit of time, have you had to replace the sticks yet? Thats the one thing thats worried me the most about the controller as Im glad we can replace them but my question is how long they last since $20 can add up quick
Not once and I don't have any current signs of stick drift either. I hope that helps! 🙏
Hey! is there another type of controller that you recommend with a good instant trigger for cod? Or would you still recommend the DualSense Edge?😊
Dualsense for an all rounder. BFG Victrix for FPS and the new Hexgaming Phantom is also very nice - review coming this weekend!
Is it worth it if you're gaming mainly pc ? Im gonna get a ps5 next year for sure but i also do want a good pro controller and i have been using the regular series controller and its all good for regular campaign games but when i play games like cod i can feel like im having response delays cpmpared to when i was playing on my ds on my ps5 back home
shouldn't have a delay.. PS5 controllers have the best polling rate out of all the other controllers straight out the box. Do you play wired or bluetooth? Regardless though - you shouldn't be having a delay not with this one.
Hi mate thinking of buying this controller but got a quick question. Do you feel a difference in response time with the edge compared to the regular ps5 controller or does it feel exactly the same in terms of responsiveness
In which area buddy? Sticks, triggers, front buttons etc?
@@iamthegamingnerd Just generally so like all of it does it feel more responsive overall compared to the regular controller? I know about the trigger you can adjust it to make it shorter travel but I use R/L 1 anyways for cod. i read somewhere that the edge has less input delay but not sure if it’s true.
@@DDomaaa I haven't noticed anything negative in response times, no. But I personally haven't measured the polling rate.
3 - 5 hours is a bit short damn. I hate using a wire because my couch is so far from my TV and someone would trip over it or send my ps5 flying
I hear you - I really do. But then I don't typically play for more than 5 hours and I have a charging dock near my TV - so I just place my controller back when I am done playing - so that it's permanently re-charged for next time.
Yo I got the elite 2 but I had to send it back cause of loose thumb sticks, is it really that bad? I hope my next one is ok because I love how the controller feels :(
Guess it depends on the game. I was playing Fortnite competitively when I had them and bumper use was vital - had all 4 of them develop a double click so in my experience.. no. But as I said it depends if that fault has a big impact on the game you play.
I bought mine few days ago and and the face buttons are mushy specially the x and o buttons compared to the standard dual sense. Is this an intended change for the edge?
Probably not. I'd exchange.
Funny story. I used to hate controllers, when i went to pc, because it wasn't as comfortable as a mouse and keyboard, and i could never grip. When sony released the dualsense, ans the steam deck came out I was like wow.... that fits perfectly in my hands :) plus the gyro as a mouse, huge win with the touchpad.
LET'S GO! I am glad you have devices you can rely on :)
Im looking at this as an astro c40 owner which i stand by being the best pro ps4 controller and regularly use it for steam deck gaming. I hope there is some type of after market for the thumbstick modules. I really like high tension
I also loved the C40, used it for years! But it developed bad bumpers, which double actuated for one press and this happened on two controllers. It also doesn't work with the PS5 so I've left that in my controller graveyard unfortunately
Is there a reason you still use kontrol freakz? I myself am also worried that the higher sticks have the old ps3 round paddles... like.. why?
Precision for FPS games and added grip but mine aren't actually Kontrol Freaks as I think they're ridiculously overpriced. So they're £2 from SHEIN. 👌
Great to finally see someone with a longer term usage review on Edge. Even better that it's from the UK :) I bought mine last week, mainly for COD on my PC. I love the build and the grip that the pattern provides. The paddles are great and I love the click mechanism. I previously used Sony's back button attachment and KontrolFreeks on a DS4. Only issue I found was that the sticks had ridiculous stick drift that before I updated the software. A minor gripe would be that I would have liked for the L2/R2 buttons to be a little more shallow for a quicker press. Overall, I think it's better than the Elite, as it has removable sticks whilst the Elite doesn't. The Elite also has major issues with faulty buttons and stick drift. Also, their rubber grip had a tendency to start falling off.
Have you found any issues with stick drift as of yet? I don't think it was mentioned.
No issues with stick drift myself - no which is why I didn't mention it being a problem. And it's kind of a mute point because you can get replacements? 🤷♂️ ... and obviously everything is subjective but I don't actually like super shallow triggers - I have an aim controller that has mouse button triggers and I hate it - I like to FEEL the press to sync with my brain I have done something but, maybe that's just the boomer in me. 😂
@@iamthegamingnerd yes, of course the replacement option is great however I guess it just depends on how long they actually last. That £20 replacement price can then add up very quickly lol. It’s a shame they didn’t use Hall-Effect sticks. Maybe in the future.
Ah fair enough, I haven’t tried yet with the shallower ones but I just heard good things.
That's why I mentioned the shallows weren't for me but they might be right for you. And I totally agree, replacement sticks isn't the solution when magnet designs exist but I guess I have to believe there's a reason for it logistically or cost wise?
How is it for pc gaming at the moment? I remember at launch it was very bad for connecting and not easy to simply connect and play having to run software, has this improved since launch? My friend returned his due to this
the O.G controller thumbs are rated for 400 hours before stick drift are the pro controllers sticks rated the same ?
im gonna wait till nacon fetch there revolution 5 pro controller out for PS5
I was wondering, how durable is the dual sense edges controller? say like dropping the controller on the ground or buttons wearing off overtime, is it a tough controller in other words
I mean I wouldn't say any controller drop is great but I have dropped mine a few times and it's fine. In terms of wearing out... no noticed anything.
@@iamthegamingnerd alright sound good, what about the back peddels are those still in good shape?
@@brandonbautista9308 all good there too mate, no issues. Built well.
@@iamthegamingnerd sounds good to me then, just bought mine a week ago and was wondering about it’s durability, by the sound of it, it seems like it’s pretty durable
Did you know you can put the bumper or whatever in two different ways? So it's like you can change the back buttons to 3 different types. Only thing I don't like about the controls is the battery life of it.
I've used mine for almost 300 hours, and still no stick drift.
The slide for the trigger stoppers? Yes buddy but if I am getting trigger stoppers it will always be on the lowest settings... unless I am driving a vehicle 😁
I love the old Donkey Kong Country music in the background while you talking about the controller. I do plan on getting it depends on how much money I need to save. But that can wait instead I plan getting the Starlight Blue Side panels for my PS5, aka "Twilight." Cause it'll be fathers day soon and I can't wait to celebrate with my dad.
Also, I love the the old classic f zero in the Background as well.
Thank for for the comments, blue star Light panels though... that's interesting. Where are you getting those from?
From PlayStation on the internet. I managed to pay them extra so that the panels could come about a few days. Before I bought them, the price went down to at least $45.00. It's not expensive, but not cheap either. But we do need to keep this between us, please. We may not know each other. And if mom finds out we are talking, she will most likely keep me from talking to anyone she doesn't know. It was nice talking with you.
Thank you for mentioning that annoying clunky sound from the triggers. No one brings that up ever and it’s quite irritating. I’ve already gone through so many replacements and they all have the same issue eventually. It’s an issue with the build mechanism inside and I can only hope they can address it with future versions of the controller.
Funny enough though - it only happens when playing games with haptics and with the trigger stoppers set to minimal press. Guess it's just something to compromise on - I don't think haptics is built for competitive purposes anyway right?
@@iamthegamingnerd Mine does it without the haptic on the shortest trigger stop. Almost sounds like an extra click when I press it all the way down.
Oh crikey that's pants. But I must say it's never happened to me whmith haptic off. Still though... its not as annoying as the elite controller flaws.
@@iamthegamingnerd I think that when u put triger stops to the lowest that haptic feedback turns off automaticly, mine trigers sound clicky only when on shortest triger stop, and also without haptic feedback
@@niksio5288 that's an interesting mention, I'll have a look into this. I didn't know that was a feature..
do you use both small concave thumbs sticks with those kontrol freaks?
That's correct mate.
@@iamthegamingnerd appreciate the prompt response bro.
I get the clunky triggers on the regular controller as well. I don’t spend too much time gaming but I didn’t want to have to buy a controller again so I went with the edge. Should be getting dropped at the door any minute now. Great video!
Thank you Anthony - I think you've made a good choice. I have played with 7 or 8 different pro controllers and despite its flaws the Edge is my go to all the time now.
Same normally i wanted to buy it after my exam but just bought and now are just waiting for the delivery
@@toxinoz1410 love to see it!
"I dont spend too much time gaming" splashes 200 on controller to play offline games*
My same issue. Wasnt worth spending oretty much $80 for that controller to break soon again. Trying this out. Used to have the astro so i hope the official thing is just as good or better
How do you buy replacement analog caps and back buttons. They only sell the module
Analog caps? Back buttons is an Amazon job though.
Hi there, I have just last week bought a ps5 slim and I like the default controller, in fact I've never had stick drift on any pad, my original ps4 pad still works fine so I just can't justify the price for the pro controller unless I see one cheap on Vinted or something. I'm not a mad fps gamer and that seems to be where the stick drift problems come from. I do like the look of the kontrolfreeks high rise thumb sticks so I've got a pack in the mail to try out.
So I'll end with as it's been a bit of time, are you still happy with the dualsense edge? Have you had any problems yet? Have you had to replace the thumb sticks yet? As looking around they seems sold out everywhere.
Only problem is maybe slightly sticky buttons. Other than than no issues and no replacement sticks and I play FPS games at least 3 hours a day. ✌️
@@iamthegamingnerd yes all these other pads look great on paper but as is usually the case the official Sony pad is the best so it's probably worth just paying a bit more for the Dualsense Edge. Being able to swap out analog stick's is a massive bonus, I'm surprised its not standard these days. I like the look of the Xbox elite 2, it seems very well made, but I need to look into if it plays on PS without issues.
A quick look and it seems that Xbox elite 2 only works on ps5 with ps4 games. Well that defeats the whole point of buying a elite 2.
@@WeskerXM96E1 no the Xbox elite doesn't work with the PS5 - just how the dualsense edge doesn't work on Xbox. Controllers never work on the opposing console brand. ✌️
@@iamthegamingnerd yes that's usually the case, though brands like Brook make great adapters. I want the Wingman FGC adaptor so I can keep playing with my Mad Catz TE/S Xbox 360 fight stick. But yes it has to be wired but that's fine for fighting games as that's my jam. But yes I think I'll end up with the Dualsense Edge. 👍
considering but price tag is unreal...
I bought 70EU DualSense (normal ver) after month got heavy stick drift... I had potentiometers replaced and month later again got the stick drift. Now but sticks got stick drift.... while my DS4 thats god knows how many years old (has been thrown, liquid spilled on etc....) works perfectly fine...
so now wonder if try simply buying dualsense again and hope to not get stick drift.... or invest to edge and HOPE i wont have to switch sticks every month...
I genuinely haven't had these issues. Have you been using your warranty to take the controller back for a replacement?
I use the paddle on the left and the half circle on the right...give me the best control. Love my edge.
Love that! Never tried it but might give it a go!
Can you set L3 to autorun, so instead of clicking L3 to run you just simply move the stick, is this possible?
No you can't do this. Some games have it within their settings (such as Fortnite) but you can't do this via the controller and it's settings.
so far so good.
I used the extremerate rise modkit and due to my large fingers I struggled a lot to find a conformtable grip position which made my hands hurt after moderately long play sessions. With the edge I've felt way better
I am glad to hear - which paddles do you use?
@@iamthegamingnerdcurrently the flat ones, I tend to put my ring fingers below the domed paddles so I'm not feeling them
I keep getting this stick module error now ? Most the time seems when my cord is plugged in ( and the cord is going bad already) but yea says something like the stick module isn’t connected or such anyone else having this issue? Should I message PlayStation should still be under manufacturer warranty for that?
Definitely contact warranty. That sounds like a connector error when the stick modules plug in.
@@iamthegamingnerd will fo
I just sold my Battle Beaver with extreme tension on the right stick and digital triggers and ordered one of these. Nervous about my decision. Do you think ill regret it?
I don't personally think so but everyone's different so it's hard to say. I've never used a battle beaver so I can't comment. 😓
@@iamthegamingnerd praying I don’t regret it. I loved that controller but their customer service sucks so I got rid. Plus the changeable sticks on the edge are a huge selling point.
Had mine since release. No issues with my controller at all. Couple minor drops from my nephews but still solid (no slight rattles or anything.) Love the adjustable triggers and remapping paddles/changing settings. Only thing that would literally make it my favorite would be 4 paddles and a battery that lasts longer lol but still my go to for singleplayer and cod
I absolutely here you - I think the 4 paddles could be rectified by making the from buttons under the sticks remappable other than just being profile switches. They're a perfect new innovative placement for extra buttons.
Pro bfg is your best bet
@@Kloverhendrix pro BFG?
Still working good?
@@idontrte still love mine!
Can some one tell me what’s the difference between putting higher or lower analog stick?
The placement of the analog stick on a controller can impact comfort, reachability, and precision, with a higher position often providing better reach and accuracy, while a lower position may feel more natural and balanced for some users.
dual sence or the reflex controler they have a touchpad but can you use it as a mouse? I want to buy a pro controler for PC gameing what would you prefer?
Unfortunately I don't have a Reflex so I can't comment on which one.
@@iamthegamingnerd allright thank you. But can you tell me than what does the touch pad does on the controler? Can it be used as a mouse on a PC?
@@IronMan-vh1yo from my quick research it seems possible with 3rd party software but it's quite a jittery experience.
I was so against this controller at first just because of the price, but after having one it is definitely worth it. I like you can change out the joysticks and go buy them as well instead of having to buy a new controller like the regular dual sense. It feels better in the hand for me. Those back paddles are cool and I have set mine based of what game I would be playing. Now the battery does go quick, at least imo, but not a problem. Being able to adjust the triggers is another plus for me. Playing FPS has gotten easier for me and playing all other games I set triggers accordingly. I love the controller and hopefully they will bring it in different colors. I keep this as a main and my dual sense as a back up or something the kids can use if they want to play.
Basically mirroring my opinion. Nice! Glad you love it buddy.
You said it feels better in the hand for you. I can see the Edge is shaped slightly differently than the standard Dualsense. Does this make a difference for you?
@@serkany5905 slightly heavier but other than, no I don't think the shape is any different. 😁
@@iamthegamingnerd Thanks for the reply man. Maybe my eyes are deceiving me but it looks less curved compared to the standard Dualsense!
@@serkany5905 I always reply 😁 but regardless of shape it's super comfortable
It terms of ergonomics with paddles I think the Scuf prestige ps5 and Xbox series controllers perfected them. The biggest thing moving forward is quality control and input latency imo
You can overclock the controller 😁 ergonomics is always subjective though - hand size obviously playing the biggest factor. I haven't tried a SCUF always heard quality control issues and after my Elite Series 2 fiasco I've stayed clear.
Had it since release day and can't say there's ever been a day that I got a low battery warning. I just drop it back on the charger when I'm done for the day.
Yup, unless you're a teenager and play all day.. this is typically the case. I agree.
The battery life isn’t a problem from me I usually boot my ps5 up with controllers on charge bc it takes away the delay slightly
Nice one! I'm glad it isn't an issue for you. 👌
Which model of kontrol freaks is those? Id like to buy them.
Galaxy whites for PS5 💪
do you think that its only beneficial if you play fps online?
Not at all .. even when I am playing Jedi Survivor .. I love having jump as the right back paddle on any game I play. If you have the spare money and play games all the time - I think its a great investment.
Will the trigger clunkiness stop if i dont use haptics?
Potentially I think yes.
What game is that in the background your playing?
At what point buddy?
1:38 psychotic controller grip. Do you not use the triggers???
Sure I do... I bash them with my head.
What mapoing would hiu recommend on a game like dragins dogma 2
I don't play it my guy so I couldn't tell you. I'm predominantly an FPS player. But my go to is X on left paddle, O on right paddle.
What are those white caps on the thumb sticks?
Just some non branded stick grips from Amazon. 😊
Just bought one. The analogs both make a click sound as I move them. Is this normal.
Hmmm doesn't sound like it. I definitely don't have clicking.
It's good esp for games like COD mp. The battery life is rather short tho. And the rubbery grip at the back would turn yellowish after a few months of use even tho I always clean it
Are the R/L 1s Instant triggers too?
They arent instant triggers buddy - they just have trigger stoppers and these are only on the larger R2/L2.
its cool but only 4 hrs of gameplay for battery life is a major letdown for me, my elite series 2 lasts 40 hrs in 1 charge, so i wont be getting one until playstation releases a new version with better battery
I've gone through 5 elite controllers that all had the same double activating bumper issue - so there's a major quality control there (least for me anyway)
Up on the dpad on my pro controller feels sticky and did so out of the box, gunna get some canned air and see if that sorts it, if not I’ll just get it replaced
Sounds like a plan 🤞👌
You’ve got the Kontrol Freeks on the standard stick or one of the mushroom ones ?
Standard sticks my guy 💪

I love mine and I use it on pc mostly. For me the half domes are the best.
I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying it.
Can we game on iPad Pro m2 12.9 with this controller ?
I haven't got an iPad to test unfortunately buddy.
Yes as long as the game your playing has the ability to use a controller. You push and hold the PS Button and Share button and it will go into pairing mode. The only issue is that you can only pair it to one device at a time. I’ve played COD through remote play on my IPad Pro 12.9 M2. It’s a bit small but I’m not great anyway. Once paired you can go into iPadOS settings/general/controller and change settings which is more for dual sense controllers since Edge already has that functionality.
Your comment about the Elite Controller with bumper issues *as I’m holding my Elite controller that I’m sending in this week for bumper issues” 😂 lol my Spider-Man 2 console bundle comes in this upcoming week- first PS since PS2 & I’m stoked! Def getting this controller too 🎉
OMGGGG you're getting the Spider Man console... I'm so jealous. I'd love to collect consoles but collecting controllers AND consoles ... I think bankruptcy would set it pretty quick 😂 please let me know how you get on though (personally I know you'll love it!)

@@iamthegamingnerd ya i was really hoping for something similar to the default concave sticks that come with the controller but ig ill have to settle for kontrol freeks
my ds5 and dse are both stick drifting but my ds4 even after 5 years of usage for an uncountable hours of usage still has no stick drift 😆
It's hard to relate because I just haven't had this experience but if warranty is in place - in some ways - what's thr issue? As you can get it replaced. But I understand hall effect stick modules would be the answer.
Anyone know if this fits the Razer charging dock?
Unfortunately I haven't tried. Sorry buddy I don't own that product.
Love your bgms🤣
Bgms?
The Scuf Reflex Pro FPS is a solid controller too. I prefer it over the edge.
It's on my list it's just a very pricey controller.
What game is shown at 1:12?
XDefiant 😄
It’s my favorite controller as of now!
I went through 3 edge in 3 weeks. Stick drift. And faulty inputs. Went back to regular
Ouch.. always seems the way with controllers. 1 person gets 1 that works as should and others go through 1 faulty controller after another.
Bro I’ve had 2 duelsense in 6 months with stick drift issues. First was original model and second was the apparently updated version that ‘fixed problem’ so ya. I’m getting a lil annoyed at having to constantly send controllers back to Sony so there is no way I’m spending this kind of money on a edge version that use exactly same analog sticks.
Wait 3???
great controller, after 9months I thought I got stick drift.. even I changed the stick module I still had drift.. all my "scuff" controllers died 3-6months (mostly triggers) or backpadles. This controller is still usable even the drift on the left (yes I tried dead zones etc).
Sound like you don’t know what you doing 😂
I've had mine for a few weeks, while I don't think it's worth the price tag (mind you though what controller should be worth half a console) it's got some decent features. Trigger locks are ok, and kind of wish the face buttons were a bit clickier, but all in all it's a good controller for multiplayer fps & single player. For warzone/apex/fortnite I use a 4 paddle extremerate, those extra 2 paddles once you get over the learning curb become hard to live without.
Yeah I bet. I can't go back to a normal controller anymore I end up gripping the back plates for no reason 😂😂
haha I've been there man it feels super weird using a regular after using paddles for so long. Even with the edge I try to hit those extra 2 paddles and forget they're not there. But for pubs in cod I found it's actually a lot better having 2 paddles than 4. With 4 I have a tendency to play with my weapon swap too much and reload at stupid times, with the edge I do a lot less of that for sure. Plus the joystick customization and precise stick movement help a lot too. @@iamthegamingnerd
To me it is worth more money if the controller will last significantly longer compared to the original.
So I do not mind a premium price if it mean's saving more money in the long run.
What are those white things you have on you sticks?
KontrolFreek Galaxy White 😉
Perfect controller
Only problem is just 2 paddles and the triggers
But tbh triggers are fine and I’m sure when the the edge 2 is announced we’ll get 4
what’s that fps game you’re playing 1:15
XDefiant by Ubisoft. I was playing in the Beta.
Only problem is that the rubber grip on the Edge is starting to peel off after awhile😢
I've hard many people complaining about this ... I'm still yet to have this issue.
I’m lucky if I get 2hrs out of mine and it’s been like that since the day I got it. I also have issues with it charging. I can leave it on charge all night and when I turn it on it didn’t charge at all.
Why didn't you return it buddy?
@@iamthegamingnerd I should’ve just didn’t want to go through all the trouble since I preordered from PlayStation
@@thomasa2145 nah man that's what warranty is for... Is it still in warranty?
I think it's worth it. It feels like what it is. A premium controller. Been using mine now for about a year and only recently started experiencing stick drift (left side as usual). Bought it mainly because you could easily swap out joysticks/modules that give stick drift but thing is now that I've started to experience stick drift and want to buy a replacement they are all out of stock for quite some time now with no new stock in sight and scalpers who are passing off imitation modules are offering them at 2-3 times the normal price of the genuine PS5 Edge module.
Had this thing 3 weeks now buy it if your on the fenced it’s so good
I love it too 😅
Yo stick looks exactly like mine with the white Freeks🤟🏿
Ayo!! 🤟
It’s worth buy it or buy a new controller every 6 months to a year I’ve had ps5 since 2022 and have had to buy three controller because of stick drift
It's worth it vs 3 purchases because you get all the added benefits of back paddles, trigger stoppers etc.
@@iamthegamingnerd Definitely…I have two switches and never got stick drift….The Almighty PS5…Every controller I’ve had for it has succumbed to drift.
Let’s be real, The Xbox elite series 1/2 are the BEST “pro” model controllers, from the Control & the carrying case as well as accessories & battery life. I’ve had both Series 1 & 2 and have had ZERO issues with them besides my hand sweat causing the rubber gripping from the series one to loosen & peel off after 4 years. I also love having 4 paddles instead of 2 & the ability to tune each thumpstick to my liking. I do own a PS5 and the edge as well and love how it’s still feels like the original dualsense with all the 1st party features it has but having to always charge it so often, the noise the triggers make after a while as well as only having 2 paddles are some of the negatives but the positives out weigh those few negatives, as well as costing around $25 more than Xbox’s.
It's great that you've had a good experience with them but I had 5 and they all had bumpers break into a double click making them useless - I am yet to have this with the dualsense edge and so this review comes from my perspective right?
Something is rattling/staticky in the background with vocals on the video.
What is a dual edge sense controller? 😂
😄
How edge now? Stick still works? Pack pads?
Still amazing.
@@iamthegamingnerdtnx
I love mine, but only use it for certain games. Uncharted 4. DayZ. SpiderMan etc. For COD and Xdefiant I much prefer the Scuf Reflex.
Yes I used the BFG Victrix but if someone couldn't afford both my suggestion is still the Dualsense. 😄
Adaptive triggers on a pro controller seem counter intuitive. Also playing wireless on a pro controller the same. im def interested in this. Thanks for the info.
You are more than welcome 🙏 I am glad you found it useful. If you want any more information - please just ask.
I’ve bought two high end controllers from Scuf and the inevitable ending of stick drift and having to buy a whole new controller because of one joystick was not ideal so this was a must buy for me
How long have you had it for now?
Is the controller named differently outside of the US or does he just say the name wrong the entire video?
I'm dyslexic and read my script wrong each and every time 🤦♂️
The main problem I have with the regular PS5 dual sense is the fact that my left thumb gets sore from using it. sore enough to the point of having to where a stabilized wrist/thumb splint to play certain games on the PS5. it's especially bad with FPS games. The XBOX design with the left thumb stick in a different position doesn't cause me pain like the the PS5 DS does.
Has anyone else experienced this? And does the PS5 DualSense Edge make it better so the left stick doesn't cause pain like the regular PS5 DS does?
Not sure about paint buddy, haven't experience it on either but if Xbox controllers are good for you. Check out the BFG Victrix controller ... I have also reviewed that too and can be out into an Xbox layout for the ps5
@@iamthegamingnerd yeah I've looked at that one too, I wasn't sure I'd be okay with no heptic feedback. I'll check out your review for that one as well.
@@seane7919 I agree the haptic feedback is huge if youre playing other games than competitive shooters.
I love the controller. My biggest gripe is that the rubber grips have started peeling on both sides. I bought this controller for longevity so that's pretty annoying. I would have preferred to just have plastic grips.
I've heard many reports of this but it's not happened to me. I'd call that a warranty job if you're still under a year?
It's definitely game changing ... I have modded dualsense but the edge is just so much better. Battery life tho is horrid so buying a second one to swap em. 4 paddles would be worth an extra 50.
Absolutely hear you. The battery life is a pain in the arse - but comfortability and ergonomics it's the best hands down. The Victrix BFG comes close but I don't like not having rumble or haptics etc.
Modded dual sense? What’s that lol
Battery life makes perfect sense with these controllers: they have MOTORS for vibration AND triggers(requires tons of power,) and constantly changing and constant ON lights.
Hold: up, right, and square to turn off some of the lights. Then, you can take apart the controller, unplug the mic so you don't have to have the mute light on. THEN, turn off all the vibration or set to low, and turn the lights to "dim" in the settings. Yep, its that easy😂. Dam stuff they make just to try and force people to buy charging stations and 979 controllers. Anyway, thx for review. :)
You are welcome buddy 😁
I heard that the paddles or the socket if the paddles break quickly. Is that true or is it just a minority of people who are experiencing this?
1000 hours and my controller is still going strong. It's still the main controller I use.
@iamthegamingnerd thank you so much for your response! I read that some people have issues with the paddles so I got worried. Now I am definitely going to buy it!
Battery life must be improved. The spring or whatever in the triggers needs to be stronger on the reset. Grip should be tackier. Other than that I have been pleased.
All viable suggestions absolutely
The battery life issue *is significant* don't say it isn't
you say you played 300 hours wich means that you had to charge that controller 60 times for 200$
*yet you had to charge it 60 times for merely 300 hours so out of those 300 hours around 35 to 50 hours were you charging the controller as you used it*
this isn't a small issue since the Dualsense Edge is worth almost 3 times the price of a regular controller ...
Bro lol everyone needs to take a break sometimes its not a big deal to charge the controller in between breaks
@@KillDevilXO isn't it targeting "pro" gamers tho? like im no pro but i easily play 12+ hours on the days i play ...
this is just bad i hatr Xbox controllers and even i have to admit that something that offers me 40 hours VS something that offers me just 5 is superior (shame the rest of the Xbox controller is shit because it doesn't have the haptic feedback and the D-Pad is literally garbage)
@@Force-Multiplier You can be a “pro” gamer and still take breaks lol you still should be eating and taking breaks my guy and if you have a USB C fast charger you’ll charge it real quick in no time. Like, as long as this controller lasts 4-5 hours in one single charge easily I’m chilling. Doesn’t take much work to just take a break and plug it in while you’re not playing.
@@KillDevilXO every 4-5 hours *sounds like hell* good luck with that ...
@@Force-Multiplier bro lol the battery will consistently last 6-7 hours. If you’re playing that long with no break then you need to stop. Touch grass every once and a while
Ive never seen stick drift in 30 years of gaming until i started playing cod mw3 on nov 2nd now 2 of my pads have drift and ill looking at having to but dual sense edge now! I think some game sre definately more stressful on pads. Ive always hated sprinting with l3
Apparently on COD you do something like 100 cycles on your sticks every minute. And the modules are designed for something like 2,000,000 cycles. So your controller will go in a few months. Who knew! 🤣
Lol the problem I had debating when purchasing was if my other regular duel sense going to just collect dust now . Just like when I got my elite for Xbox series x and all my other controllers I buy them just for collections lol
You can always just let them be controllers for guests 🙂
Adding replaceable sticks is not a quality improvement, it's an expensive workaround. I do appreciate the effort though. Let's wait for version 2.
Hall effect modules are not yet proven to be cost effect or better performance (in terms of aiming and movement) only that they are much less likely to get stuck drift BUT they can still get stuck drift.
I'm on my 3rd one, stick drift and I wasn't going to pay for the modules with both as they was within the 12 month warranty, sony was good enough to replace it twice but next time I'm guessing it will be out of warranty and I'll have to get new modules
That sounds mightily unlucky to me. Plus pretty sure all replacement come with a further 12 months warranty.
@@iamthegamingnerd ah that's nice to know. Its odd, you don't send all the bits, case, not even the thumbsticks you click on, just the base controller and they send a new one once tested that it has actual stick drift. Both times they sent me a new one. Pretty bad it still gets it, but I do love the controller. I blame fifa and cod for stick drift, you get heavy handed with those 2 poor games online 😊
@@guerrillagames7279 that is annoying but I do believe it has to be bad luck and a bad set of parts. Strange for stick drift they don't just send you new stick modules instead of a whole new controller?
@@iamthegamingnerd you have to send the whole controller back not with all the parts and they decide if its a faulty their end or if someone has bashed the hell out of it or dropped it in water I guess. Mine was stick drift twice, this one now hasn't had it.. So far.
@@guerrillagames7279 fingers crossed for you mate 🤞
just in time ty!
Just in time? What did we catch! 😁
@@iamthegamingnerd I was thinking about buying it
@twxes ohhh let's go! Let me know how we you get on with it!
