The color, the battery, the paddles, the material in the middle that leaves fingerprints, I mean I already have the Xbox Elite 2 controller for PC, should I also buy this or wait for a Scuff upgrade in the future?
If you have a ps5 I can definitely suggest the dualsense edge but without one, it’s still hard to suggest as many games still won’t detect the controller
Games on steam can detect the controller but recently cod through battle.net also started detecting the controller. No luck through the epic games launcher as of now though so no Fortnite
As an action-gamer, I only need the two paddles, but my FPS friends have expressed the exact same concerns. Plus, I'm you're absolutely on point, Sony needs consumer options to compete; colours and physical button layouts.
I recently just today cancelled my preorder of the dualsense edge. I was feeling left down that you can’t have all 4 back paddles in at the same time and only have two in. I have the Xbox elite v2 core controller bought the accessory kit with it and that seems far superior than what Sony is about to release I get the feeling that Sony just saw money gain with this controller without fully thinking of all the features it should have in todays gaming world I’ll just wait for reviews I think £209.99 that’s more pricy than the elite v2 controller that comes with the accessories it’s £142.99 on the Xbox store and in other places.
Definitely a good point. I have the elite controller also and haven’t run into any issues but a lot of people have had them fail on them. I’ll probably still have a hands on and unboxing of the dualsense edge when it comes out next week to see how it keeps up
I saw the V2 Xbox today for 60 bucks at my local microcenter. I don't like the cheat aspects of the CronusZen, but buy those two for 120 bucks and you got 4 paddles and a convert for use with the ps5 with a more comfy layout and options and 80 bucks cheaper than anything else on the market for the ps5. Idk. I think 🤔
Yes but the biggest point of the dualsense edge its the software something you might not get in the Xbox correct me if I'm wrong but with the edge as I'm a owner you get many software tweaks in the PS5 so u can customize over 30 profiles the downside is not use for PC who knows if Sony will release a update or app for that but so far it has been good for me
I'm looking forward to it. I fine playing FPS with just the 2 back buttons and i'm soo happy the stick modules can be replaced as i've suffered stick drift on expensive pro controllers before.
I’m mostly concerned about battery life and stick drift. I’m seeing early hands-on reports that the Edge has less battery life than the current dual sense. I’m also hearing there’s been no upgrade to the thumbstick module which could make stick drift replacement (@ $20 per) a regular thing. I loved my Astro C40 and was saw it as a justifiable upgrade to the standard PS controller. Unfortunately the closer I look at the Edge I see less PRO and more just MODULAR. Am I alone here?
I’m with you! The early hands on reviews don’t seem to be too impressive specially with the battery life. Stick drift is definitely a real issue and if they didn’t resolve it, it can get pricey for sure
Idk wtf people do to there controllers but I have the PS5 controller that came with my horizon bundle and it has no drift even my black dualsense and galactic purple one has no drift
Can't you just use a claw grip, that is flick your index finger on your right hand over onto the face buttons and use the trigger with either your middle or ring finger, if you need to use the face buttons but still keep your thumb on the right thumbstick? I know loads of people that use Xbox Elite controllers but only ever have a couple of the paddles connected, mainly for changing gears in racing games or as a replacement for the L3 and R3 buttons etc, but not so much for using the face buttons. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me. I mean if you're that into FPS games that you're in the market for a new controller then why are you using a controller over a mouse and keyboard, anyway? Or even using a console over a computer for that matter. Personally when I've tried it I've found that using more than a couple of paddles to be uncomfortable, that said, if I was designing it I would bin the paddles and just have a couple of hepatic switches embedded into the handles - similar to the front track pad - which you could configure to 2, 3 or 4 buttons, and call it job done but I don't work there. The main issue that I have with Playstation controllers is that the left thumb stick isn't offset which makes using the D-pad awkward in games where it is used for item/weapon selection, since you have to lift your finger off the left thumbpad to use the D-pad which means you have to momentarily stop moving in the game, where as - if it was offset like it is on the Xbox controller - you can just use the thumb on your right hand. The way I work around it is to perform gymnastics with the right thumb, that is using it to hold the left thumb stick momentarily before transferring it back, which gets old. Yeah, there is a Razor controller you can buy that does feature the offset thumb stick - and the two extra paddles - but that thing is $50 more expensive and doesn't have all the features of the PS5 edge controller, so is a tough sell. That said having a D-pad that is inline with the face buttons can be quite nice in certain situations such as movement in 2d games or for pulling off combos in fighting games etc. Maybe it's all just a conspiracy to sell you overpriced controllers I dunno?
Idk wtf people do to there controllers but I have the PS5 controller that came with my horizon bundle and it has no drift even my black dualsense and galactic purple one has no drift and the Scuf is a fucken dualsense controller that was customized and its so fucken expensive as for COD I only use two paddles the battery life sucks i know but that didn't puch me away from the dualsense edge why because you have so much software in the PS5 To customize it and you can save more than 30 profiles its a great option the best part is the modules as for $20 its not bad ive heard gulikit might make modules for it in my opinion id rather pay $20 a module than replacing a hole controller
Very good point. Only thing missing is 4 paddles. I can use the two but still prefer the 4 so because of that, I only use this controller for platform games. Fps games I still prefer the reflex fps for the paddles and instant click triggers personally
how did you pre-order without watching the product description video provided by Sony? it showed the whole lay out and everything that could be done with the controller. I'm confused. I won't get it for the same reason but this video is to me is a cautionary tale of consumer knowledge lost.
Buy another scuf possibly but so far so good. No need to replace either of mine. I did end up reordering this controller though. For research purposes lol
Don't get the Edge, if you only play fps or fighting games get the victrix PS5 pro controller keep in mind it doesn't come with haptics. If you want haptics build your own pro controller with Extreme rate controllers
No haptics. No adaptive triggers. No motion. No adjustable stick. And the worst. The back buttons are not removable and are in a spot where you accidentally press it
A video for the Victrix pro controller popped up in my feed earlier today and I immediately canceled my Edge pre-order.
Hair triggers and thumb stick module come out in case stick drift replacement for 20 bucks
That is an awesome feature. I’ll probably still review this controller. Stay tuned!
Since warzone 2 doesn’t have slide cancel 2 paddles is fine for me. Can’t wait to get my hands on it
That’s a good point! The non slide canceling definitely an adjustment
@toxic_spamz_r2432 another good point. My stock ps5 controller has some stick drift also
@Andrew Rodriguez DualSense has 1 year warranty and it covers drift, you can just submit claim
@Andrew Rodriguez you can replace the sticks for $20 with the new dualsense edge
@@jeiceginyu4595 yeah I was gonna say that the sticks are replaceable

Hopefully they bring out other color ways at a later time but if not there are other options luckily!
@@sergi_j and a four b-button option, too.
what other buttons would you configure to the back besides jump bc obviously that’s a big one to jump and aim.and crouch too.
I use mine for reloading and plating up as I mostly play cod/warzone. No need to touch the physical buttons that way

Valid point!
Stick drift is why Im buying some.
💯. Just pre ordered mine today! Can’t wait! Two back buttons are game changing.
I think this guy has 8 fingers in each hand

Yea I haven’t had any issues either. Two scufs and a dualsense edge all still working fine
@Sergi_J but if gulikit make modules for the edge that's gonna be a game changer for sure
@@jesuscervantesj82 yea those would be must cops if all pc launchers eventually work with the dualsense edge
I use the razer ultimate with 6 paddles I can't use anything less than 6 anymore
Yea 4 minimum is what I have to use. Anything less feels strange lol
I cancelled my preorder too.
Only 2 paddles, wow… I love the elite 2 for the Xbox. I wanted it for the PS5… guess I’ll look at scuff.
Yea can’t go wrong with the scuf!
@@sergi_j do they come with the same DualSense haptic & resistance triggers?
@@AJCoReTV I believe the regular reflex pro does yes. The fps doesn’t as it has clicky style triggers

Guess I could but I’ve been gaming this way for almost 30+ years so that would be a harder adjustment lol
No. Because controllers are not built ergonomically for claw.
intro goes hard
Thanks!

What you gonna do when that scuff gets stick drift? 😆
Buy another scuf possibly but so far so good. No need to replace either of mine. I did end up reordering this controller though. For research purposes lol
All you need is 2. Jump and crouch . Rest you have other fingers for
I use all 4 but I could see how most would only use the 2
You bought a Scuff 😆 Sweaty
And replaceable joysticks and there have been utubers getting hands on now

EDGE CONTROLLER IS A SCAM.
Yea not too sure how I feel about it but mostly leaning against it. Review coming soon!
