NEW PS5 DualSense Edge Controller - Worth It? 

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

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

Bro this was like one of the most well constructed reviews I've seen, good job!!

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

Great review and to the point. Answered every question I had for this controller. Thanks!

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.

Nice controller and CONGRATS JUD baby boy looks so adorable!!!

I can’t wait for mine! Battery isn’t a concern for me as I always plug in directly.

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 .

The Monochrome Design & GamePad is so Classy!!! I Love DualSense Series!!! ✌🏻😍✌🏻

Just ordered mine I can’t wait !!

Thank you for the helpful information. Great job.

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.

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

I just got mine I love it like the style of it thanks for sharing it

People might not see this comment, but everybody stay safe and have a blessed day may God be with you all🙏🏾💗🌍❌⭕️✨

Congratulations on you and your wife new bundle of JOY 🙏🙏!!!!

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.

Just appreciate all the effort that you put forth to review of the Sony pro controller

Just started watching your channel and glad to see the ironbound (Newark) in the background born and raised

thanks for the review - good presentation

The elite series 2 back paddles make it so easy for me to play shooters cuz my fingers never leave the sticks

Congratulations 🍾🎉🎊

Congratulations on the baby boy!

I got mine yesterday and saw my gameplay improve loving it yea short battery life but the cable is 👍

Definitely scoopin' this up👊🏾

Good video man keep it up earned my sub

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

Definitely getting one! I can’t get off COD! Love you and your family man 🖤

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'm on the fence about it, great video and ty

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.

Thanks for the amazing explanation. Price point is holding me back and I've no idea what key to place for the back button.

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

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.

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

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.

Great review

Love your reactions

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.

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.

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.

Just ordered one yesterday should be here weds.

Hardware tension adjustment on sticks like the Xbox pro controller it truly makes a huge difference.

Nice review bud! May I know where did you get the bracelet of your applewatch?

Definitely picking this up today for apex might replace my scuff

I got mine last week and I'm loving it!!

Love the dual sense edge. Feels quality and definitely is a better build

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.

Love when Jay, Ari, and Carl ask questions...So crazy its questions I want to know too!

I was watching this video last night, I got so relaxed by his voice that I fell asleep. 🤣

Love the content bro , I also would like to know where you got that dope charger with the playstation emblems. Thanks my guy!!!

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.

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.

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!

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!

Sir, love from India 🇮🇳 Ur videos are so informative

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.

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

Good ima pick it up today

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

having extra joystick sure will come in handy you never know when you might get stift drift

I got one, maaaan it's a game changer. In Apex it makes your wall jump combos so fluent.

thank you for explaining the trigger dead zone. I was doing it wrong lol.

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.

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

Great video, thanks.

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

For the price should have hall effect joysticks and 4 back buttons, $40 extremerate kit for back buttons is a better deal

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

I’ve been wanting to try Huel actually

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.

I love your watch band! Where can I get one 😍?

People complains about the price. Yet look at Xbox pro series 2 controller you have to buy all the sticks and paddles separately. The big selling point is the ability of replacing the stick units quickly. So instead of buying a new dual sense controller because you developed stick drift. You buy a new stick unit and swap it out in a few seconds. I will be getting the controller just for that. If you don’t like the gloss black it’s easily fixable with a can of flat black plastic spray paint. Just pop it off and paint it. Gives you more of a unique look option you can do on your own and not have to buy custom panels.

I am loving the controller I have a 3D silicone cover case on my controller..

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.

I love mine & like urself I only use 2 back buttons & the battery isn't an issue.

Quick tip if you switch the paddles around it will face down and outwards

I have 2 standard Dualsense controllers. Both have terrible stick drifting issues. That's enough for me to buy the Duelsense Edge.

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 like the profile feature for the buttons because I'm disabled. Should make my game play a lot better

Yeah the new controller is sweet but you know whats sweeter? New Jud Junior 🙌🏻❤

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?

Everyone talks like these pro controllers only make a difference in FPS but in my opinion, they do make a difference in standard adventure games, too. I don't consider myself a hardcore player who plays in the most intense difficulty settings, but even for a standard challenging sessions, one of my biggest complaints in games was not having a way to press buttons without having to remove my thumb from the right stick. For example, jumping while still able to move the camera around, or dodging, or picking up objects, which are usually actions mapped to the face buttons by default in most games. But I'm talking about having a smooth experience, too, and ever since the back buton attachment for the PS4, I've felt a huge difference when playing different games. I got my DualSense Edge on day 1 and the first games I tried it on were Ghost of Tsushima and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and something as simple as remapping my jump and dodge buttons (and for GOT, the triangle button which I had mapped for changing stands and now iI had it on the back buttons) made the combat and traversal incredibly smoother as I didn't need to be alternating my right thumb as quickly as possible between the face buttons and the right stick. It still may not be a controller for everyone, even less at that price which I also believe is too steep, but I think both Pros and Casuals can benefit with this kind of controller if someone wants a smoother gaming experience. I use the Elite Series 2 on Xbox the same way and I had a great time using the back buttons for games like A Plague Tale: Requiem :)

Is it intergrade with the remote play? Does all those features work will using remote play?

Thank you kind sir.

In Fortnite, using the DSE controller, when I picked up the spy falcon device, the controls were all “unbound.” Had to restart the PS5 using a different controller to fix that issue (after trying to change controllers without restart). So no falcons in fortnite with the DSE.

The single back paddle on each side is rough. I love the Joystick replacement feature though

Little tip of you want to get better at apex please put crouch on hold instead of toggle.

I really want the Edge but I think I'll only grab one once Gulikit releases their hall effect thumbstick modules

I remember when I thought that the N 64 controller had ‘too many buttonZ’. Things got crazy.

Man where did you get that Apple watch band? Looks so good!

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.

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

If it was around 170 i would absolutely recommend it to players who play a lot of games because you definitely will go trough a couple controllers over the years.. and these are way better repairable so in the long run cheaper.. here in the Netherlands tho.. 230 is just to much.. and its beats the purpose

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 🔥

So instead of fixing stick drift, just make them easy to replace. So that fixes the warranty issue with the regular dual sense. Now you just buy extra thumbsticks & bring in more money.

Love this controller

Thank you I was wondering what that empty space was
