Having replaceable thumb sticks has given me a peace of mind. I’ve bought similar pro controllers (two to be exact) and have had drift. This ensures better longevity.
Thank god for that!!!
I like your profile picture sir
... until D-pad accumulates dust internally 🤣
Completely agree - since stick drift *will* happen at some point with these kinds of sticks, the occasional $20 is MUCH better than having a sucky $170+ controller that you cannot replace sticks on. AFAIK, only Evil custom controllers have replaceable stick modules.
$15 replacement plan and get a whole new controller every time your sticks drift rather than paying $20 for each stick every time it drifts
Hello, great video! Have you ever used the extra back buttons for gearing up and down on racing games?
Best purchase I’ve made this year honestly. It feels great, the case is great for all the reasons you mentioned. And the replacement stick configuration when the time comes is just a steal. Customizing the dead zone of the sticks and responsiveness of the triggers with its adjusting how far it goes is killer as well. Always feels like I have an absurd advantage in gun fights in COD.. makes me look like I’ve got aim bot and see through walls for how fast I react to enemy’s turning corners
I could have gotten this as the second controller but it came late.
I recently started playing warzone and I just feel the back paddle to jump or prone while shooting
What settings do you use for dead zone and trigger sensitivity, I've been trying to figure mine out but I can't seem to get it right. Thanks
@@Zoro93_same
@@OffTheFlappevery controllers different you gotta test calibrate then set deadzone
@mmtgangsta91 I'm a total newbie, could you suggest any settings for competitive games like cod/warzone/fortnite?
“Pro for life” I’ve been watching UA-cam reviews on all sorts of tech for about 15 years on and off. And I have to say, Extremely well made review!! 🙌
I love mine. Solid build, great grip texture, easy to program buttons. The paddle placement is perfect. I haven’t had a single issue with mine. The only thing I wish it had was 4 paddles underneath instead of two but I still like it better than the two Scuf controllers I’ve owned and one of them had 4 paddles.
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.
Thanks for the in-depth review! I have arthritis, so I'm mostly interested in the options that reduce movement. You covered those well.
I've had this controller going on 6 months and best controller I've EVER owned. I wish I had one of these 20years ago!!
Highly recommend it only problem i have is how light the triggers and back button are
I previously used an Astro C40 on my PS4. Bought it soon after release, but have had to replace one stick every 4-6 months, with the other about 2 months later.
I *JUST* replaced my DS Edge LEFT stick for the first time today - just over 7 months after release (got on Day 1 due to pre-order).
Well worth my money, & my hands thank me for keeping the ergonomic feel of the Astro C40.
Wow great video i was having the same indecisiveness when it came to upgrading from the ps4 back buttons for Warzone. New Sub
Thanks for the sub! You legend!
Awesome review , massive inspiration to us smaller creators 👌👌
I brought it a week after release and for 1st edition there is nothing wrong with it it's 100% worth buying and the main reasons for buying it is customizable buttons to fit ur play style. Make 2 button motions 1 button. Faster triggers for yall shooters and lastly stick drift becomes a thing of the past. You can't beat it when the only thing u have to replace is the stick not the controller.
P.s that battery issue ppl complaining about connecting it to a wire is a personal thing. I am always 3 to 4 ft from the TV and it doesn't bother me one bit
Exactly, I only use the cable
@@chandler2 still better than getting a new controller 🤷🏻♂️
The controller is really nice and all but I just can't bring myself to spend that much on a controller. I can buy three controllers for the price of one of these. The biggest aspect of it for me personally is being able to change you sticks. Because unfortunately stick drift is a problem with these controllers although I've had my two original since day one release and one has very bad stick drift and is unplayable. The second is starting to go that way. I have broke out my God of War limited edition controller and am considering between two more controllers or an elite. I like to have two so I can throw the one on the charger and always have a Charged wireless controller and for multiplayer when I need it. But obviously I'm not going to purchase two Edge controllers. I don't know I'm torn between them. Especially because I don't do first person games so all of the advantages people get from adjusting the controller I'll never use. I'm not a competitive gamer. So trying to talk myself into spending over $200 on a controller is tough when I can buy several for the same price
@@RobK-rl6sn I’m also not a competitive player and mostly play single player games but for me it’s an investment till they come up with a solution for stick drift, plus the quality of the controller is good and the extra buttons are helpful and it’s very easy to map them. If you have the money I recommend buying one and don’t worry about charging it comes with a lengthy cable
@@RobK-rl6sni have had 2 dualsense that both has started to get stick drift considering dropping the 200 bucks so I can get rid off this, it ruins the gaming experience even if it’s a single player game
One of the best purchases I’ve made for $200, yeah battery is not great but quality of the controller makes up for that. Plus the fact that you can switch between profiles is amazing. And the charging cable is long af so even when you need to charge it you can still play. The case that it comes in is a bonus as well.
if battery is not great its 1/10 gamepad
Keep it plugged in, I do! I’m also a desk and monitor PC guy.
It's not great but it's not bad either, I get a solid 6 hours without having to plug it in, but I never play for longer than that anyway@@Bambodinho
@@princegroovewhat monitor do you have I’m tryna get one and I’m not entirely sure what to get yet
@@Bambodinhoif your buying a controller like this I’d assume you also have a monitor. Pretty easy to charge and play. If you don’t have a monitor your decision to spend on a controller at this price is a
is a 0 out of 10
If we choose to use a custom senstivity curve, then we must set ingame stick response to 'Linear' right? Otherwise they might overlap?
100%
can you use/customize the profiles on a pc? love using my ps5 controller on my pc?
Do the button profiles stay saved on the controller or the system? I’d like to use this controller on my pc
Love this controller and the best part is after you configure the back buttons and even the different profiles you can use the controller on the PC and the back buttons still work and you can change the profiles too. I even used it on the PS3 and it worked there too!
Yeah same on the ps3 it worked really well!!
@NomadFlair Yeah, I went back to play the OG MW2 and was wondering if it'll work and come to my surprise it worked perfectly!
@AutumnAspens Worked on my regular PS4, so I'd say it would! You can use it via Bluetooth or just plug it in.
@@AutumnAspensno ps5 controllers don’t work on ps4
@MrRJxKiller no sir, don't work on ps4 ,where you see that!!
Also if you put the back paddles in on the opposite side then they sit more like a scuf controller, straight down. I found if I flinched I would accidentally press them the other way round. 😉 controller is awesome and although expensive it's better than repairing (ie replacing) scufs if a stick module breaks.
just saw this comment and tried it out, SO MUCH BETTER. this configuration has now become my favorite paddle config.
I think probably will get this one, since I seldom use analog and always in wired mode. Thanks for your infos on this pad~
Thanks for the video man!
You’re welcome bro
Having back buttons is essential for me. Pressing L3 to sprint hurts after awhile. And mapping another function to it won’t work. When I’m in the heat of battle, I will involuntarily squeeze the controller hard and press L3 accidentally. Depending on what’s mapped to L3, it could really mess me up. I need L3 to be something that won’t do that. Sprint works great, because accidentally pressing it does next to nothing to mess with me. I’m old, and have been gaming for decades. The back buttons have dramatically reduced the strain. If Sony won’t release a back button attachment, then they’ve got me. I’m shelling out the money. (Edit: I do have the DualSense Edge. It’s incredibly comfortable. And the higher stick caps has made a huge difference in that)
The regular ps5 controller hurts my hand after 30 mins is this 1 different?
@@_-_.7 Depends on what your problem is. Mine is repeatedly pressing L3 to sprint. Mapping that to the back buttons makes all the difference.
I always accidentally hit R3 and enter photo mode in games lol. Glad I'm not the only one haha
I've got it now and it's slightly better but I still get pain
wrong lol 😂😂😂
The only thing holding me back, is wondering if they’ll drop an all black one. The moment they do I’ll buy it.
I was thinking the same thing, but it may never happen, so I just went for the execution
Do we know how clicky the buttons are? Is it the same as the base controller?
I love it soon as I played 2k and madden yesterday when I got it I seen the difference when moving on the court and field
It's great... The PS5 integrated software is sublime to have. The switchable thumb sticks will give it unending longevity. Back paddles are a most, and the only downside is it only has two of them. It'd be perfect if there were 4

Been using mine nearly daily for 4 months now. Absolutely love it… won’t replace my scuf for certain games because I’m too used to 4 back paddles for those specific games… but every other game, dualsense edge is phenomenal
Is scuf better ?
nah man, i spent 600 aud on the new scuf fps, months after comp warzone and d2 trials sweating, the l2 button inside snapped, my bro opened it up and fixed it, melted the two parts together... snapped again. I just bought the edge as it also felt too plastic/y. The edge is half the price and apparently feels heavier, durable-legit. Anyway i get edge couple hours, will miss my 4 fkn paddles tho@@KiiLz
@@KiiLz overall I'd say no... BUT... for Destiny 2 I am so used to 4 paddles that it's hard to downsize to 2 paddles. So if you think you'll be good with just 2 paddles, the DSE is the way to go.
I’ve never been a fan of L3 and R3 buttons and would love to designate them to rear paddles. That is the key reason I’m looking at this guy.
I got it last week, loving it ❤
I’m fine with the factory ps5 controller
Good for you 👍🏾
Me too......
$200 is a bit crazy to me (almost half the cost of the entire system). I get they added the replaceable joysticks which would cost them in future controller sales, but they're still selling the replacement sticks for $20. The replaceable joysticks are nice, but $20? Those should be $5-$10. Just having to replace one of those at $20 is 1/3 of the cost of a regular controller. I think Sony is price gauging their customers a bit. I think this controller should be about $120-$130, not $200.
It is half the price 😂
It's not just the replaceable sticks though - it's also the programmable buttons & back-buttons. Look at any of the programmable controllers w/ back-buttons/paddles, and they're all in the $170+ range. Most have limited perm-set options for the back buttons, or charge extra for re-programmable.
I know players who go through a DualSense every 4-6months - and ONLY replace b/c of stick drifts. At $70/each... you've hit the same cost as the Edge in less than 2 years.
Before I got my PS5 in Winter 2021, I had been using my Astro C40 on PS4 for 2 years; near daily, w/ weekend 8-12+hr gaming sessions. I still used my AstroC40 when playing on PS4 while son played on the PS5.
Other than replacing one of the sticks every 5-6mths, it was still going strong until about a month or so ago, when the X started sticking.
Mar 2019 - July 2023... for $200 + sticks... not a bad ROI at $340ish. I HAD been replacing the entire controller every 6-7 months... at $50-60 each. 8 controllers @ $50 each vs 1 controller + 7 sticks... $400 vs $340, plus the lower strain on my hands as I could program JUMP to a back button.
Nope, it's worth it. I have clan mates & gaming buddies that went the SCUF route & for $170+, those last maybe a bit over a year, depending on how often you play. And near always - Stick Drift is the culprit.
It's 20 dollars for at least 400 hrs of usage also stick drift is manly the one stick(left) and you can easily clean them.
200$ for a controller with a 4-5h battery life.
@@alfonz0010 bro f*ck that controller I’m telling u unless ur a cod streamer or a ranked play max beast don’t get that controller it’s a waste of money and don’t think about other people may have it think about it how many people could even afford that after purchasing a ps5. I can afford it a lot of times over but would never waste my money on dumb shit that I don’t need but it’s up to you and ur value of £200😅😂😂
I have this controller and recently purchased scuf envision pro I really like the envision pro .. but the way I hold my controller for FPS games .. middle fingers on triggers index fingers on the bumpers while my ring fingers work the paddles ps5 Dualsense edge is awesome. After a year use I still haven’t any need too replace the sticks
I had this controller.for 3 months but the rubber grip started lifting, also I was unable to control the headset volume via the controller? Have they fixed this as it only allowed volume control on a wired headset? Bizzare
Nice video. I want to buy The DualSense Edge and at this price I'm still wondering if I should do it. Thank you for your opinion for the DualSense Edge
You’re welcome my friend! I am going to release another video next week on the Victrix maybe that will help you make your decision.
I'll hope GuliKit will release the hall effect replacement sticks for the dualsense edge soon, stick drift will than be a thing of the past. GulikKit posted their plans for on twitter in March 2023
Mover heard of this company - need to check them out
Hall effect sticks its not the best option because its stuck to 250polling hz this is so bad for people who play fps games i prefer to have stick drift after 6 month and responsive sticks
Ive noticed there is an empty slot in the case
is that for the replacement stick?
I've had five of the official ps5 controller (standard) the only thing that ever goes out on them are the directional buttons up down left right.
Been so unlucky with my last few controllers getting stick drift within a years time. Got this, it arrives today. The changeable thumbsticks was the selling point for me. Can’t wait to use it!
Congrats man! You’ll love it!

Sad sony wants you to have stick drift, look for a hall sense controller don't need to spent 200 buck on a plastic made shitty controller again
My only complaint about the dualsense edge after about 2 months the rubber grip edge near the ends bubbled and separated. Alot of people have had the same problem happen.
It happened to me less than 2 months after launch. I got a refund. They're not fit for purpose.
I have reached out PlayStation support about this and they replaced controller within 10 days. But said they never had similar call before 😁
@@aleksejfokin5527 They tell lies. It's a widespread issue. I know 3 people that have returned and replaced because of it and seen many more online.
Same, returning mine to BestBuy with my TotalTech support. It seems like it’s an issue that’s endemic to the design and materials used in construction.
@@Callosity definitely is a thing they are trying to hush up I find it crazy there is no videos or articles on it. Just people on Reddit and occasionally Twitter.
Pro for life! Great review sir
Do you put your dual sense in the carrying case with kontrol freeks on or off? I was wondering because that right stick kind of sticks up in the case with the kontrol freek on and I don’t want it to mess the stick up. At the same time I don’t want to keep removing the kontrol freeks because it will mess up the rubber on the sticks. Just trying to see what would work best
I don't think it will mess up the controller
Think it will be fine I'm case with freeks. Mine are anyways
I bit the bullet and bought the DSE after my new Cosmic Red DS started drifting after only a few months of gaming. I probably should have just bought the DSE from the get-go. The poor man pays twice. I'll leave my DSE wired probably most of the time, and when the inevitable drift happens, I'll just replace the analog stick. The back buttons and other features are a huge plus. A lot of games nowadays are running out of buttons to use, so having some back buttons will help tremendously.
Congratulations 🥳 - hope you enjoy man
Honestly you should buy a couple modules right away. I remember when Astro released their controller and eventually they discontinued it and stopped selling the modules and you couldn’t buy them at all.
The poor man pays twice? Dude, you paid more to get the same potentiometers. Never assume you're getting better quality because you're paying more.
@@_MJ07_ true, but for 20 bucks he can replace the stick rather than spending 70 on a new controller.
@@_MJ07_ I guess you like buying $70 controllers when the inevitably have stick drift after 6 months. But you do you.
At least you can pay $20 for a thumb stick replacement instead of spending $200-210 changing a new controller.
I’ve suffered too much joy con drift not to pass this up. Love this controller
Im for sure gonna do a monitor set up now
I love it. I bought it day 1 and the controller has little to no controller drift and im a pretty hardcore gamer. Playing double claw and pressing in the thumbsticks pretty constantly. The controller has such a nice feeling to it. You honestly will consider the regular ps5 controller as a fake lol. The buttons on the regular ps5 feel pretty bad if you've touched the duelsense edge.
My only two concerns are the white color (get dirty easily) and the weak battery inside. Would really like to see a different color coming in a near future.
I would love to see a black
@@NomadFlairI’ve seen a black one for £199 I think
@@Vidar666 I doubt it bro - I would of heard of it.
@@NomadFlair oh shit my bad, I think it’s a scuff one sorry
I have one and my grip on the bottom turned brown... And now I have the phobia of wanted to wear gloves while I hold the controller...lol.. And now my pads came off, but they want me to send it off And they going to replace it..
Yeah I got this a week after it came out, I barely use it but it is definitely amazing...I use basically for warzone...looking to get good use out of it with Spidey 2
Good video for sure great info
Kinda looking into getting this controller. Replacing a thumb stick for £20 is kinda cool. Beats paying 60 for a new controller. Could pay for itself over a few years
My thoughts exactly. Already been through 3 controllers, I really think it’s time i get the edge so i can stop worrying about stick drift.
Fixing drift is super easy. It's a non-issue.
@@mackinsviigamingmy was broken lol and I deep cleaned my controller and I still sprinted left haha nah imo and my luck with controllers this is the best option in my opinion I never experienced stick drift till ps4 controllers those are the worst
The things is that these need to become the main controllers
Lol that would never happen, profit profit!
Playstation themselves dont even use their own console, why the hell would they make it better?😂 If they can make billions by always releasing a better controller for 3x the price of the standard one, why would they change anything?
They could of charged more for a console with this perhaps but they had to beat microsoft
will i be able to use a controller profile for warzone on pc?
I’ve had this controller for a year. I’ve had it since launch & have no issues with it
I'm a bit disappointed that Edge doesn't have these new magnetic sticks. These would be somewhat more expensive but would eliminate stick drift almost completely
Ya but they have to make money somehow and yes Sony is a multi millionaire dollar company but that still doesn’t mean they can’t not make money and they would lose money over a longer period of time if they used that type of stick and the replacements are only $19 so that’s not a lot it money anyway
@@failed_artist2503you need 3(!) Replacements to pay for itself,
This doesn't seem to mention the biggest issue - the grip pads becoming discolored and (worse) coming detached. After less than a month, my pads started turning yellow, despite me being downright fastidious with the thing (washing hands before - and during - every use, and storing in its case at all other times). After around 1.5-2 months there's a small bubble below one of the pads, which seems to bode poorly for the long-term. Lots of people have had this exact issue, so it seems to be a defect in the design. My best guess about why it doesn't happen with some people is that it might be related to either environmental humidity or the composition of your sweat (I don't really sweat much, though).
It's a huge shame, because the controller is perfect otherwise (aside from the battery, but that doesn't bother me much). They just fucked up badly with the grips.
Literally my only complaint about the controller. I got mine on day 1 and to be honest, my grips aren’t even that bad. But it definitely is bubbling up a little bit on the grips. Otherwise this might be the best controller I’ve ever bought
Mine turned yellowish after a couple of months.
I love the controller and definitely love playing that Forza Horizon 5 game you showed at 4:27
I bought this when it came out and only had to up my dead zone to 7 so far and that what I use even without stick drift and I haven’t needed to replace the joysticks yet 😌
After 3 Battle Beavers($250-$300/each)that lasted 4 months MAYBE before they got stick drift I ordered this DualSense Edge. Being able to replace the sticks and have all the functionality of a Battle Beaver is HUGE.
What deadzone did you use for them? Never used custom controllers like battle beavers but it always takes a lot longer for me to deal with drift
only 2 paddles :(
you ever had an issue with the back buttons not working?
@@kevinahearn8764 My back buttons on the battle beavers stop working after 6-8 month usage + the inevitable stick drifts not worth it
You’d have to replace the module not the the thumb sticks bud
The DSE is honestly an amazing controller, Sony really outdid themselves with this thing. I've always preferred Playstation controllers over Xbox. But there are some major issues that keep me from buying this. The battery life is pretty abysmal from what I've heard and seen. Having to always be wired or constantly recharging after every gaming session is pretty cringe. And then the price is just too much right now. $200 for a controller is highway robbery regardless of all the bells and whistles. Maybe if theres a sale in the future i might pick one up. But for now I'll contend with my stock Dualsense.
I’m currently trying out the Victrix BFG, I will drop a video on that soon.
I will say that the battery is crazy but it’s there first pro controller I believe. I thought $200 was crazy but considering you get extra joystick caps and can customize button settings and things is really worth it. I definitely understand that you would like to wait. I don’t see them dropping price any time soon, but you never know. I say whenever you can get your hands on one, I think you will like it👌🏾
I've had mine for about 3 months and have not had an issue with the battery life.
You can mod a Dualsense to pro level for like £60 anyway search extreme rate
@@PrettySavage22*their
Hey, question what if you have sticking or jammed controller buttons on one of these bad boys. What, then?
pro for life even tho i don't have one yet. Deciding on this or the other controller you showed during the outro
Edge is better tbh
I've gone through 3 ps5 controllers since I bought the console, my problem being stick drift, I'm wondering if this version would be a wise long lasting investment.
Should be, being able to replace the stick entirely would be a big improvement from buying a whole new controller
The stick modules are very expensive on their own though.
You can get a new stick module for $19.99 for this controller
@@Kevzane$200 for this controller, $20 for each stick is better than just getting another $80 controller? If you use up 3 or more controllers, maybe.
Yes it would I already ordered mines off of Amazon because of stick drift problems
I'm waiting for a second version.
I have the Xbox elite series 2 and it is significantly better and cheaper. 4 paddles, textured rubber grips on the handles, 40 hours battery and half the price.
I hope the next dualsense edge is closer to that in quality so I can justify the upgrade
Fair enough
How long you think until they release the next version of the dual sense edge ?
@user-nj6rk5xs1m if this one doesn't sell mildly well then never.
If it does then I'd say couple of years. If they did it too soon the people who did buy it would kick up a fuss because their new £200 controller is outdated in a year so its hard to say
@@Henlak- I’m still tryna figure out if I should just get the dual sense edge or just a regular dual sense … I’ve seen mixed reviews on dual sense edge.
@user-nj6rk5xs1m Just get a regular one. It's 1/4 the price and has a better battery life, only get the edge if you can afford both, have 1 or 2 regulars then an edge.
My plan is to wait and see if 2 of my regulars break from stick drift and then if that happens I'll just get an edge because of the replacement joysticks
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
I have stick drift on one of my controllers that i purchased not that long ago, so I am seriously considering this one.
Go for it man
If it had Hall sensors (cant get stickdrift) and a bigger battery it would be an insta buy.
Fair enough
Can you play on pc with this controller?
Yeah

wired has more latency usually. i know they tested the PS4 controller, wired and unwired vs xbox controllers and some others and the fastest of them all in terms of latency was the PS4 controller but it had to be used unwired for it to get that super low latency.
Hi I’m new to the PS5, interested in this controller, so pls don’t mind the stupid question, but if you adjust the deadzones of the sticks, is the movement of the sticks also physically reduced? Thanks in advance for your time and reply :)
No,it’s not reduced
I am waiting to see how long those analog stick modules last and more feedback on the battery and general performance/longevity.
Just bought mine I’ll let you know
honestly that was a dumb solution. They should have gone with the hall sensors that cant get stickdrift in the first place and then make room for a bigger battery.
I received my Edge on the official launch day (26 Jan '23) having preordered it in Nov last year. The battery lasts about 7-7.5 hours on a full charge with max settings (haptic, triggers, light strength). I have not had a single issue with stick drift and still happily use the original pair.
The controller is very comfortable in the hand thanks to the rubberised grip, even after several hours of continuous use.
The ability to remap the action buttons and the addition of back levers have helped me in general gameplay. Switching out the sticks to different sizes and designs is great too and makes the controller tailored to each game and your own style of play.
So after nearly six months of almost daily use I recommend the Edge.
The negatives are the battery - having to hook up the cable on long sessions or daily charging and the controller does get quite dirty so needs regular cleaning. But it feels substantial in the hand and a clear upgrade to the standard dualsense - whether the price tag is worth it for you is your decision but I can't see my user experience changing over another six months and if the sticks break in that time then I can replace them in 30 seconds.
@@thebaldingapple2409 how so when it's a better solution that's also less expensive to implement.
People aren't going to buy the edge controller if it's that expensive, doesn't adress stick drift and also come with drawbacks like worse battery life.
That is losing sells, cuz the product isn't as good as it could have been
The battery dies really quick. Really disappointed with the battery life but overall it’s a good quality controller
Battery life is a joke on the Edge, I have an Xbox Elite 2 controller and I charge that thing every 3 or 4 weeks, that's how good the battery life is on that thing.
Best purchase I’ve made ngl, although 200 is pretty pricey for a controller and you won’t catch me getting that at full price but I found a sealed brand new dualsense edge for 120 bucks and it’s been a pretty decent purchase, I noticed over time the rubber grips in the back turn brown due to ig sweat so I slapped on a lil rubber swapped out my sticks and I’ve been using it as a daily since, one of my favorites but I’m still getting used to the mapping feature but I love the variety of games you could map them too! Overall for the price I got it 10/10
I agree, it’s worth at the end of the day and the customisations are good. 👍
Got one along with a 1TB SSD for $160 the other day. I love the controller so far. (It was used by an adult)
I honestly want this controller but after seeing the battery life on this thing I’m better off spending 70 bucks for a new controller
Good luck spending $70 every few months or so
@@hustlawg nah. I went to go buy one like 5 minutes after I commented on this video
@@melroc7434 xD
@@melroc7434I had my ps5 for 3 months and the controller it came with just got stick drift. You are gonna have to buy a new one every three months depending on how much you use it. I’m gonna just go with the duelsense edge so I can change the sticks whenever this happens.
@@Pg-ch5nbthis is not true at all. Wtf do yall be doing with your controllers? I've regularly used the same controllers for 2 years and none of them have stick drict. Basic color controllers are always on sale for 50 bucks too
instead of fixing stick drift they made it so u give them 20 for new once... wow
Money 💰
@@NomadFlair the margins on that controller must be sky high... The greed is real
Just think about the fact. If u play a lot you might have stick drift in 5 6months mayve faster. Cost: 70 for a new one. If u have that with this one. You save 45euro for me. So whats better?
@@frtillidie-lm5mb the damn thing cost over 200 here... Their is no saving money.... Still we know how to fix stick drift.. an expensive premium product should have stuff like this fixed.
Very excited for the back buttons because I have a nasty habit of hitting the knife button when I get excited and I’m 20 feet away and look stupid
Hahahahahaha
Pro for life bro great information thanks
Its not worth spending $200
Depends on what you play ofc
@@NomadFlair still 200 is too much for it honestly
200$ is to much for you let's get that understood it's worth 200$ your just to broke
@@gamersunited1491Despite your grammar errors, your insecurity screams louder when you call others “broke”. Maybe they’re just smarter than you and anyone with your mindset, let’s get that straight. I got one and I can say for sure, not worth $200. Sure, great controller, just not worth $200.
No not really lil bro. It's not worth it to you, to others it would be worth it. It's simple.
It's not worth £200
Man shut up
Got it thanks for the review totally liked ain’t gonna lie
Can the analogue stick in the module be replaced with a hall effect? £20 for a replacement? That's huge for regular drift occurrence
Yes all replaceable
I’ve had a PS5 for like six months now and already been through three controllers. I don’t throw them or anything. I got the Edge cus I was sick of replacing controllers just for them to start drifting a month later, tried cleaning them all and everything. Edge seems a lot better, no drift yet and there’s less holes and such for dust to get into. Also now I can just replace the left thumb stick when it starts drifting. So it’s expensive purchase for me but I still think it was a worth it one.
Definitely worth it man!
Kind of wished that atleast 1 of the FN buttons could have been another remapping button, never understood why you needed both buttons for FN
did you make a video sharing your Warzone setup for this controller?
#PRO4LIFE, Nice vid mate, not long got a ps5, couple of weeks a go, next upgrade is gonna be more ssd space then thinking about getting this pad.... expensive but will hopefully last a long ass time especially with replacement parts available and easily installed. Subbed,liked, keep up the good work bro!
Appreciate it brother - thanks for sticking around!

Pro For Life. Just bought this and it's pretty nice. 200 bucks might be expensive, but it's still a hundred bucks LESS expensive than all of my scuff* controllers and considerably less than an evil* controller. I was happy with those controllers but almost no one sees all my "pretty", colorful, custom shells and thumb sticks except me. They've all lasted well and I still use them on PS-4, but I think this one from Sony is the way to go, for me, from now on. I think the best feature is being able to replace the thumb stick mechanism for 20 bucks, if you develop "stick drift". (scuff and evil are trademarks and both begin with lower case)
I have a question, I know this is good but will this be a great controller for causal games? Like I don’t play many fps on my ps5 but I will eventually play shooters especially if they bring kill zone back . But Spider-Man , blood borne , and a couple others is what I play
If you don't play fps games like war zone, or destiny2 etc don't needed this amazing controller.
I love how you explain everything in one video you get a sub from me 😊🤗💯
I have an elite love it, I Went with scuff for my PS5 the 2 extra paddles make a huge difference 2 back paddles just don't cut it for me.
I like the back buttons and change out sticks, but trigger locks not needed, in my opinion.
Great review and I've subscribed, but I'm really interested in learning more about the dead zones on the analog sticks, mainly can you limit their movement?
Thanks man! Yeah dead zone limits the movement of the analogue sticks
@@NomadFlair, thanks for the reply, that's good news for me. I think I'll be getting one now, possibly wait until black Friday to see if there's any sales ✌️
I have one there are two months. I don't want to play without it. It's expensive but it's great!
most of these features like trigger deadzone and analog sensitivity can be set in cod now
mine just arrived yesterday, I can already say that it makes my gaming much easier and more fun, I say it's worth the money 100%
ive dropped my dual sense a bunch of times and Ithink thats the reason for my drift but the replicability is incredible
hi, what kind of stick curve do you use for call of duty?
Quick or dynamic
@@NomadFlair Thnx bro
Great video, but are you telling me I can disable R3 if I wanted to? That would be great as I’m panic kniving all the time in cod 🙈
Ofc G
looking at the video are these triggers actually instant? they seem to travel a fair bit on shortest setting. i have a scuff pro and i don't think it travels that much
triggers are not instant, but in the settings you can change the percentage of travel to even smaller than the physical smallest trigger stop. you can literally change it to need only 1% travel to activate
@@mozzarellapotato oh ok, thanks, so on paper it will travel a bit but in theory will fire instantly?
@@tureq85 yeah, it’s kinda hard to explain without having it in front of us. but you can digitally set it to fire instantly. but even without the digital setting, the physical shortest trigger stop still is very close to instant!
So I have been buying pro controllers playing Warzone because I can’t live without my back buttons. It seems every 6 -8 months I get stuck drift causing me to have to buy another. At over $200 a pop. I got the edge because for that same price I can just change out the sticks if I get stick drift. That’s amazing and so far so good. I love it.
Me to that’s why I went for it at the end!
sent my scuf in for repairs and picked this up to try in the meantime.
