      Haven't tried the SCUF controllers, but the Edge controller feels great and is more fun to play with... i still don't think it's worth the hefty price tag, especially with the poor battery. What fps game are you enjoying it with?

      No, getting at least 5 hrs so far, but over time the battery will degrade...
      So I expect it to be in the 4-5hr range at some point (hopefully not too soon).
      I do recommend a charging station, so it’s easy to throw on the charger after a session. And utilise the cable if you’re playing after 5+ hours.

      Honestly, I bought the edge more so to mitigate having to buy a new controller every time I get stick drift. Four original dual sense controllers all got it, so to me the edge pays for itself with the dead zone adjustment, and easily replaceable sticks.

      Sony had to make sacrifices with the added new tech in the Edge controller, it’s already 16.4% heavier at 335 grams, compared to the 280 grams on the standard.
      So they reduced the battery size from 1,560 mAh on the standard controller, down to 1050 mAh on the Edge. That’s almost a 1/3 reduction in size, hence the worse battery life.

      @FrostFire Mage Lazy and crazy. I will not be their trail run dummy. 2 hundred plus for a few hours of gameplay is insane. Loved the feel. Quality. And performance. I had to not let that be the points for me keeping it.
