I think the biggest selling point of the controller is the replaceable joysticks... the ability to pay 19.99 instead of having to buy a whole controller is incredible
Yeah, but they literally made the problem and are selling the solution. They literally used magnetic sticks on PS3 controllers at the beginning of the consoles life and those sticks just don't drift. Apparently they forgot about that.
@@butch430 those magnetic sticks aren’t as good as the new ones
@@butch430 yea it’s silly they’re not using the hall effect joysticks on their pro type controller.
Removable sticks are Literally a GAME CHANGER.
the 200.00 price tag doesn't look so bad now tht the sticks are only 20.00
Imagine building a control pad where drift is so common I've got all my control pads (sega, ps1, ps2, ps3, xbox 360, ps4) o trouble and still all work Ps5 4 pads in less then 2 years (whilst playing less due to work commitments) Sony are thieves.
It’s wild that I’m getting this controller just to fix my chronic stick drift issues. If I could just adjust my deadzones on a stock controller I wouldn’t even need this controller
That’s exactly why I’m buying mine lol
I like the PS Edge because of the stick module. My current dual sense controller is under a year old and it’s already stick drifting. One of my friend replace 2 controllers due to the bad stick drift. Buying a new controller every time this happens can be costly. It’s basically $20 vs $75.
Bro this was like one of the most well constructed reviews I've seen, good job!!
Great review and to the point. Answered every question I had for this controller. Thanks!
Ive had mine a few days and have a profile for Apex, Rogue Company and For Honor. The trigger deadzone could be useful in for honor if you exit guard mode to roll often or just to make enemy selecting quicker. Ive never actually done it but now that you mentioned it i was trying to make excuses for spending $200 on the controller and i got smart..lol
If you like for honor I'd recommend Chivalry 2
You’re a man of culture I see 🧐
Thank you for the helpful information. Great job.
I just got mine I love it like the style of it thanks for sharing it
thanks for the review - good presentation
Good video man keep it up earned my sub
Just appreciate all the effort that you put forth to review of the Sony pro controller
I got mine yesterday and saw my gameplay improve loving it yea short battery life but the cable is 👍
I can’t wait for mine! Battery isn’t a concern for me as I always plug in directly.
Just started watching your channel and glad to see the ironbound (Newark) in the background born and raised
The D pad is quite annoying during weapon change in god of war ragnarok . So I mapped the back button for axe and dual blades. So much easier to switch across and it is quick too. And also the right analog I change to quick movement so that I can react to enemies faster . Right thumbstick is higher than left so I can react faster . So far the controller is pretty good for me .
I was thinking it could help that spear quicker in battle as well
Exactly. If it makes your game better and you can afford it, then go for it.
It helps me in MW2. No regrets on the purchase.
I’m gonna try that combination.
I just got into Gran Turismo 7 and I use the paddles as paddle shifters for manual shifting and it definitely made me faster but it’s a lot to pay attention to, but very fun to use.
The elite series 2 back paddles make it so easy for me to play shooters cuz my fingers never leave the sticks
The Monochrome Design & GamePad is so Classy!!! I Love DualSense Series!!! ✌🏻😍✌🏻
Coming from buying 2 scufs and them both breaking in less than a month, I'm glad I picked this up, and it comes with a lot of the stuff grip, adaptive triggers, etc stock. Stuff scuf charge extra for
Ive been using this controller now for about a month. Took me a about a week to get used to it.
But I love it!
My only 2 knocks against it...
Needs 4 back buttons instead of just the 2.
A being able to decrease the deadzone instead of only being able to expand it, which they could prob fix that with an update.
Oh, and maybe a 3rd knock i guess. Different color options or something a little more customizable like that (which Im sure somebody like extremerate might come up with options for),, even though I think the controller already looks sick af in the black/white combo
Nice controller and CONGRATS JUD baby boy looks so adorable!!!
Thank you Clarissa! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Definitely scoopin' this up👊🏾
Just ordered mine I can’t wait !!
The controller feels AMAZING and if youre at least an above- casual gamer, you'll get some decent use out of it. Rainbow 6, Doom and Gran Turismo are some games that take advantage of the controller perfectly.
How so for gran Turismo?
I assume you can manual shift with the back paddles like forza?
Congratulations 🍾🎉🎊
Congratulations on you and your wife new bundle of JOY 🙏🙏!!!!
I'm on the fence about it, great video and ty
Definitely getting one! I can’t get off COD! Love you and your family man 🖤
Nice review bud! May I know where did you get the bracelet of your applewatch?
I absolutely love this controller for both Apex and Destiny 2, absolutely amazing. And it fixes my biggest issue with 3rd party controllers, namely Scuff, stick drift. As much as I love Scuff if(when) it gets stick drift you're screwed and their customer service isn't the best even within the warranty period. But in my experience it's right after the warranty that the sticks go and then it's $200+ down the drain. I picked up a couple extra sticks with mine so if these do go out like all my Dualsense's have so far(my launch one went out right after warranty, then my cosmic red went out in 9 months and the replacement one just started going bad now with the warranty long gone) I'm covered. I also got a 3 year warranty against ANY damage, including me breaking it myself, from the seller for $15 which I think is an amazing deal for a $200 premium product. So my sticks are covered for a while with anything past that just a $20 fix and anything else I do to it for the next 3 years is also covered. And I also don't use 4 back buttons, I tired it and could never get the hang of it. And really for fos games all you really need is crouch and jump mapped to the back. In Destiny it's the same though I do wish I could map a new unique button for my Titan melee hammer build. In Destiny your normal and powered melee can be mapped to 2 different buttons because by default if you're within range you do a normal melee and further out you do your powered but for something like mini hammer you wanna use powered up close while also having the option to use the normal one. I use the in-game mapping to turn off auto-melee(defaulting to normal up close) and map normal to right click(with finisher taking priority if applicable) and use the default melee button for powered but I always wanted to be able to map a paddle to JUST powered melee and nothing else for that specific build. To my knowledge there's no way to use the back paddles as their own unique buttons despite Destiny's mapping capabilities allowing any amount of buttons possible. Sony needs to add something like an R/L4 as an option for them for games that support that. Oh well, just one more thing a keyboard has an advantage on, near limitless buttons(well more than you could ever use anyway). Other than that this has been my favorite Playstation controller ever and I even like it over the Xbox Elite if just got the stick replacement alone.
Jesus christ
I stopped reading your comment after “Destiny 2”
Love your reactions
Love the content bro , I also would like to know where you got that dope charger with the playstation emblems. Thanks my guy!!!
Cable guys PlayStation ikon phone and controller stand . Target usually has them in stock
Thanks for the amazing explanation. Price point is holding me back and I've no idea what key to place for the back button.
Congratulations on the baby boy!
Whoa at 9:45 your the first to mention that game chat/game volume can be changed..that’s dope. Moat headsets i use have that function but only works for CP or Xbox
I love the paddles! I tried them while playing Gran Turismo, and GTAV and it felt so premium! Like a high performance car with the shifter paddles.
What is that controller stand he has? It looks like it lights up. I want one!
Hey ur Avg Consumer when you turn on the dual sense edge controller does the light stays on or does it go off that’s my question
Sir, love from India 🇮🇳
Ur videos are so informative
Honestly only thing I was told about the new controller was the trigger squeeze with how adjustable the whole controller is that's an amazing deal for such an amazing controller also there are so many times on rainbow six were I almost get the winning kill via headshot but the other player squeezes barely faster then me this might honestly give me that extra edge so I always get those first shots off.
I play siege my self on ps5 and I think changing the joysticks would definitely help since they feel small sometimes and slippery and they trigger button setting will DEFINITELY help a lot
Ordering mine soon. Going to like that trigger deadzone for Fortnite 😅. I tend to double press (or something) when switching weapons and that has got me killed more then a few times. Hoping this feature helps with that.
Great review
Love when Jay, Ari, and Carl ask questions...So crazy its questions I want to know too!
thank you for explaining the trigger dead zone. I was doing it wrong lol.
So, they made it much easier to replace the thumbsticks but how difficult would it be to replace the buttons? I play a lot of Apex and having gone from ps4-ps5 and using both systems' controllers, the buttons have also worn down on me after a while
The changeable joy sticks was the selling point for me. I have 10 other controllers DS4 and DS5 and they all have drift. I considered the Scuff but the drift issues made me hesitant to purchase a $200+ controller. Until I discovered the DS Edge.
I bought the scuff for ps5 and 2 months later my left stick is moving everywhere don’t buy scuff
ive never had stick drift on any controller damn
@@anires1195you dont play enough....
@@anires1195i guess we are the rare bunch. lucky or we ain’t rage much 😂
@@VinylSkillzyou rage to much
Just being able to replace the analog sticks whenever they show signs of stick drift would almost make it worth $200 alone. No other pro controller on the market offers this type of feature. It's such a good idea.
That being said... I'm wondering if Sony knew about all of this since day one and adopted the whole "let's create a problem, then sell them a solution" type business tactic.
Man, controllers are just known to crap out. Xbox controllers i went through quite a few. The analogs always start messing up. I agree with you there on the whole creating a problem and selling a solution thing. I would much rather pay the 20 for the new analog then 75 for the new controller.
lol seems like a good tactic but it’s just the downside of their product. At least w this solution they make bank w this all they need to do is lower the prices and we cooking
@@rockabillly88yeah… I burned through x box controllers like toilet paper. Even the 200$ pro controllers … I switched back to PS because of it
I play pro FIFA. I think this would help with the game a lot. First of all, I like to play with more posession on the ball and quick switch up to create an attack. I use two buttons to lob the ball to switch and need to power up my pass depending on how far is the player. But, with this controller I can just map it to one of the buttons in the back and just focus on powering up. Moreover, it will help me controll the speed of the player while sprinitng by adjusting the trigger senitivity. Also, by adjusting the left stick, I can shoot more precisely on the traget.
Hey brother can u type your controller setting for fifa
I just got a new controller too
@@jasonshiromi8951I‘d be interested too before i blindly experiment
This controller should be lasting you a while minimum 2-3 years the major problem with the regular one is stick drift and this solves it. Usually I go through two controllers a year.
I've had mine since it launched and absolutely love it. I'm not a pro player either, been playing it with The Last of Us part 2, Forspoken, Witcher Wild Hunt, Cyberpunk 2077, and many other action adventure games. Been a great experience. I play more than 10 hour sessions and it has yet to die on me.
I was looking for comments like this. So you believe it's worth the 200? Very indecisive at this moment as I'm staring at my browser lol. Hmmmmm decisions 🤔
@@tx3973 im sorry but this guy is not telling the truth, 10 hours? no chance, i have one too and if i play a game that uses every function of the controller is dead within 5 hours
@NewN0ld ahhh thanks for the heads up lol. It's sitting in my cart just very indecisive on making that purchase. I really can't distinguish if that's a great purchase you know 🤦🏽♂️
@@tx3973 Look its a great controller albeit overpriced, but if you have money lying around and dont care about the short battery life and only having 2 back buttons then go for it. ONLY IF you have money lying around and collecting dust.
@NewN0ld I'm very Frugal lol so you have spoken my language 🤝🏽. Would rather invest wisely but ill wait for it to drop an different colors
Hardware tension adjustment on sticks like the Xbox pro controller it truly makes a huge difference.
Gundam battle operation 2 would be great for this! Using the back paddles to boost has upped my game on PS4, this will help a ton on PS5 too.
The back paddles are great for DMC5 as well. Doing gun combos and jumping on the back helps the flow of combat so much.
Might have to try GBO2 with this in the future, after gulikit sends out their Hall effect sticks
Facts bro facts the quick swapping is gonna be so much easier forget double button pressing
I use the same in SD gundam battle assault. Right finger tab for "boost" and dodge ect. Can dodge and shoot/slash at the same time without completely "button mashing" and not knowing what you are pushing. Though, Im using an 8bitdo ultimate.
Can you invert the axis direction with the new sticks? like, you push it all the way to the left, but the controller sends the signal to the right?
I got mine last week and I'm loving it!!
We don’t care
@@trino5561 We don't mind shut your goofy ass up 😂
@@trino5561 he likes it that's what matters his opinion
@@trino5561 broke ass..lol
How’s the battery?
I'm immensely enjoying the controller so far. The price point is not a huge issue when you compare it to Scuf and the integration with the PS.
price is never a issue if you got a job
Oh… rich man come up
@@pressstart8738 far from it.
@@naapsulusmurmurusmurmurus2392 still is an issue. Just have to budget wisely.
@@naapsulusmurmurusmurmurus2392 having a job doesn't mean you should buy things like this that's why people are broke lol
I was watching this video last night, I got so relaxed by his voice that I fell asleep. 🤣
I needed a second controller and even though the battery life is less the interchangeable parts and better grips plus case make it a solid buy imo.
Just ordered one yesterday should be here weds.
I’ve been wanting to try Huel actually
Thank you kind sir.
Hi you didn’t covered the speaker audio or mic in controller, is it the same or improved?
Thanks
Will this controller work for me playing Warzone? I always drop shot while shooting because I tense up so much. Am I able to make the paddle crouch/prone and the right stick just aim?
Thank you champ give me a review on your watch band the joint 🔥
Just bought this controller a few days ago after looking at so many reviews and videos! Right now I’m very happy with the dualsense edge, gives the 2 options for the back paddles, also got the settings you can adjust on ps5 to adjust the sensitivity on the right and left stick, which is very useful for shooting games! Wavey controller so far
Good ima pick it up today
I’ve had my Series 2 Elite controller for about a year now and I had the first elite controller prior to that. I haven’t own or used a PlayStation in about 19 years, but recently found myself getting the ps5. I ordered my Edge controller almost immediately, because my elite controller on Xbox felt so natural for me. I got kontrol freeks for the sticks but they just don’t sit right with me on the default controller. Here’s to hoping I fall in love with the Edge like I did the Elite!
I loved my elite 2 let me know if it's worth it
You'll love it I been xbox controller only since they were better now Sony released this which is 5 times bettet
many times i wanted to buy it but all these negative rewievs , i wont spend over 100 euro if the controller could break 1or 2 months
Is it intergrade with the remote play? Does all those features work will using remote play?
Unrelated but what is that watch strap you got on for the ultra? Any video link or product link?
I love your watch band! Where can I get one 😍?
Least for me I really wouldn't benefit from having this controller over the regular DualSense. Wish they had the swappable analogue sticks on the standard controller, other than that I'm not super excited by it. Really love the red colour so disappointed they only have the Edge in white.
Just ordered it today and a stick replacement with it although $200 seems absurd I game a lot and am on my 3rd controller due to stick drift and honestly I’d rather pay $20 every 6 months or so compared to $70
I love mine & like urself I only use 2 back buttons & the battery isn't an issue.
Love the dual sense edge. Feels quality and definitely is a better build
Hey Uac are you going to review the s23?
Thank you I was wondering what that empty space was
Yeah the new controller is sweet but you know whats sweeter?
New Jud Junior 🙌🏻❤
I am loving the controller I have a 3D silicone cover case on my controller..
having extra joystick sure will come in handy you never know when you might get stift drift
Are the d-pad buttons separate? That's the only thing I want in these new controllers, because the duel sense d-pad buttons are all connected to one another resulting in mis-clicks. It sucks the most when I play games like multiversus and mortal kombat
I might get this controller just to be able to map one of the back buttons as “Sprint” in Elden Ring. Having to do the awkward “finger claw” movement to run by holding Circle is such a pain
which back button do u prefer domes or paddles
Great video, thanks.
I bought it as gaming is a way to unwind for me in the evenings after work.
If I get some extra kills each game from using the paddles, it’s worth it..…IMO
Of course, whether it’s worth it varies for everyone
13:09 I totally think this feature (end the whole custom app) is usefull for a simulation game like Session : Skate Sim. (Like for the 'reverts' action sensitivity and stearings)
Does the battery life last longer than the normal controller? I have to use to normal ps5 controllers as they die so fast and have them on charging rotation, My xbox elite controller gets charged once a month, This alone would make me buy this..
Definitely picking this up today for apex might replace my scuff
How u like it now
Love this controller
This controller is Freaking sick! I got it yesterday, and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. GT7 feels amazing, and it makes me even more hyped for PSVR2! God damn Sony is giving gamers great gaming options. Seriously.
Me too, can’t wait to replay Rush of Dawn, Astro Bot rescue mission, and Blood & Truth on my PSVR2!
Bro it’s an amazing controller I just got mine yesterday but my only problem I have with it…..is the damn battery
@@demontbradley9924It’s not the problem people make it out to be. Simply plug it into any wall outlet next to your couch and keep playing while it charges. There is no need to stop playing or to plug it into the PS5/PC.
@@MisterCaution true, and in my experience if you set the light bar to dim it can last for 6-7+ hours, which is way more than i game in one session
Does the d pad feel loose like the original dual sense?
Man where did you get that Apple watch band? Looks so good!
Well as an apex player I see the pros and cons of having the duel sense edge but I'm no rush to get it since I mastered the controls in apex
So are the DPad all individual buttons and not like all in 1vlike original ps5 controller? If so I might consider to save and get one
Can you remap the paddles to the arrows?
Does anyone know or have an idea when the edge controller will come in a black color way? I want to get a pro controller but I currently have a scuf reflex for my ps5 so I can wait until then. White looks great but I simply prefer the black stealthy look and it fits my setup more.
I've got mine since launch, and I'm enjoying it alot! Use it on pc mainly and I got the back buttons (paddles or half doms) to work with DSX and its great, let's u tune everything like the PS5 software but its even more in depth. Definitely recommend to competitive players.
do you have to use DSX to activate the back buttons or would it just would on when I plug and play?
@Yazan Najjar you have to use DSX to use the back buttons yes, because by default on pc without DSX, most games don't pick it up as a controller but the few that do don't recognize the back buttons so u need to use DSX to map them to whatever button u like, u can also map the left and right Fn buttons to anything u like with DSX
What is DSX?
Can a back trigger be programmed to be two buttons at once like R1+R2?
Why does no one talk about how much more comfortable it is to hold compared to the regular Dual Sense? The new rounded grips are soooooooooooooooooooo much better than the sharp edges it used to have.
I have 4 different dual senses, as well as the Edge. IMO, the quality control is such that the sharpness varies extensively from controller to controller. It is not uniform.
What sharp edges?
Thats what I notice on the grip design change yet none of the DS edge review videos or article mention or give Sony enough credit for the design choice. I have been casual ps5 gamer since launch but I gotta say the DS grip is thick AF and its uncomfortable on my small hands for long hours gaming makes holding the DS controller felt heavy because of the awkward arc to compensate for the thick longer tail grip. I have a NS pro controller myself. Thou they are heavier than DS on paper but you barely feel the weight because of the ergonomic grip design that distribute the weight evenly. Round grip on DS edge got me even stoked for the arrival of my DS edge!
13:58 ...
I like it, just wish it had da same grips as my scuf reflex and scuf reflex fps and also 4 back buttons instead of 2. I keep forgetting there’s only 2 buttons in the back n keep finding myself wanting to switch gun and reload with the back button
For the price should have hall effect joysticks and 4 back buttons, $40 extremerate kit for back buttons is a better deal
Can you make all those profile adjustments if you were to buy and use that for your pc and you didn't own a ps5
So does the short press have mouse triggers ?
I got one, maaaan it's a game changer. In Apex it makes your wall jump combos so fluent.
I just got the stick drift issue on my regular controller while playing RE4R. The drift is on the left stick where my character keeps moving to the left on his own and it's so bad it's unplayable. The only reason I'm getting the Edge controller is for the stick replacement modules. I love that idea. I couldn't find a third party brand that sells a PS5 controller with replacement stick modules so Sony it is for now.
Same is happening for mine too after only 5 months of playing. It’s so annoying 😢😢
@@merkaturmarjuban9246 the average lifespan of a dualsense is about 5-7 months on average. I had my console in October 2021. I took care of my first one like a baby and it lasted till April 2022. Then the second one lasted till November. I'm currently on my third one with stick drift and the edge might be worth buying especially due to the root cause of the controllers breaking is stick drift overpowering player movements.
@zage I straightly bought edge without attempting to buy another duel sense after lots of analysis lol
What 2 buttons are people using the paddles for in apex?
