dualsense-edge-ps5-controller-front

Anyone besides me get the Dualsense Edge? If so, thoughts? Overall, I think I like it better than my Scuf. It feels more solid, but only two paddles instead of four, and the battery life is worse.

I just don't play anything competitive with a controller anymore. Give me more battery life and I'll be happy. That Scuf is a gorgeous controller, though.

I enjoy the back buttons, most of all for sprinting. I hate clicking the left stick to sprint. It’s more of a convenience thing for me more than a competitive one.

Gotcha. Clicking a stick to run is the worst feature ever invented.

I adore the Edge controller. Best "pro" controller I have used. I have the scuf but the triggers wore out in a year. Warranty is only for 6 months. Would not recommend that piece of ****

I've been tempted but man, 200 for a controller is a large pill to swallow! Especially when I'm already budgeting for a PSVR 2.

Funny enough, that’s more preferred sprint button. Maybe I’m just used to it but I always have to get used to any game where it’s different than the stick. Lol

Left stick is definitely the standard for sprinting. I've always hated it.

Hold or toggle, because that is the big difference to me. I hate holding a stick to run. Toggle is tolerable at best.

Update after having for over 4 months: I have used the PS Edge as my PS5 controller and my controller on PC for the past 4+ months. I have yet to get any stick drift (I have 6 replacement modules sitting in my cabinet) and the controller has held up very well after all the hours I have put on it. This is the best controller I have ever used and I have used most of them. Its a large investment, but I have been more satisfied with this controller than any I have used before. I only have one single thing I could gripe about with it and that is only have two inputs on the back as far as buttons. Would have like to have 4, but I have gotten used to only using the 2. The half moon bottons on the back are more comfotable than any other back input I can remember using. Just very, very happy with this controller. If you are wanting to use on one PC and steam games, I simply use DSX and its flawless and simple to use.


I have also used this with racing games, like GT7 and Forza and I tend to play using this controller more than I do my wheel. Just works really well.

Damn you! I just got a fat bonus check from work and you're going to make me blow some of it on this! :p

Have you seen the option to buy replacements for the actual thumbsticks?

Best Buy has them all day. Think it takes like 5 or 6 days to get, but they have them.

I'm referring to the thumb caps I guess, not the module. I was curious if you could buy a replacement domed stick/cap?

If you buy the replacement module (20 bucks), they come with a stick

Gotcha. I like using domed and haven't seen those available anywhere. Not really a big deal though as I could use the standard one plus a kontrol freak.
