I've been trying it out in Tekken to minimize strain when I'm doing a kbd and it almost can do it with the paddles alone but I just need to practice. And in SF6 it can possibly aid in their new input settings regarding the ex inputs since they've changed from the traditional standard of L1/R1 to make changes for drive. Also I just thought about it recently and the grips might help with doing inputs on the joysticks too.

What surprise me is, some of the "new" features could easily work on the standard DualSense. I mean, limiting the range of the triggers could be done with the "adaptative" triggers capabilities. Same for tuning the response curve of the sticks, which is only software related (and already in the PS5). Sure that would limit the appeal to the Edge, but if it's only attractive because you withhold technically possible features on the lower end controller, that's because your higher end product is a bad product (or badly priced). For that kind of price range, I would at least expect hall effect joystick. So far, the only reason replaceable joystick are attractive is because of stick drift, which should not be such a popular thing from the start.

Yeah, the lack of four back buttons wasn't really an issue for me. I bought my edge mainly for PC gaming. I plan on eventually mapping the two 'function' buttons to serve as Shift functions for key map overlays. Had I gone with a controller with 4 back buttons, I would have mapped these same functions to the secondary back buttons; therefore im not really missing out on a set of buttons at all, they are just located on the front instead of the rear...and I really think that I'll prefer the thumb location better anyways. Once programs like DSX and reWASD have worked out how to get the most of its functionality, I think the Edge will be able to do things that no other controllers have been able to yet. I can't wait to play Jedi Survivor with this controller.

I've never been a big fan of 1st party controllers that add a whole bunch of additional buttons, sensitivity, etc. but this controller is ABSOLUTELY making me think differently. The trigger range sliders are awesome for stuff like FPS, the ability to make the back buttons optional, the modular stick boxes removing the hassle of having to solder on new stick boxes when drift starts showing up, the rubberized grip, the old Dualshock 3 style stick cap replacements, its all fantastic! Sure the smaller battery and only having 2 back buttons is a bit of a pain, but as someone who's used to my Dualshock 4's battery life I don't mind it too much and the back buttons are something I wouldn't use anyways. My only personal complaint about this is that they should have also included High and Low stick caps in the Dualshock 4/Dualsense style as I feel not everyone enjoys the old Dualshock 3 style stick caps, most saying they slip off their thumbs too easily. Plus it would have also helped to include standard height stick caps in the Dualshock 3 style so that way both styles get all 3 levels of elevation. Aside from that, I would happily use this as my primary controller if given the chance!

this doesnt actually solve the issue in fact it is contextually identical to what Nintendo did for years and just profit off the issue. This is the Pharma solution: Apply a bandaid rather than cure. The one prove solution is using Hall Effect sensors. Its frictionless bc theres no physical arm rubbing the bottom of the module, which wears out one or the other. It generates a magnetic field and measures changes in that field to translate the input. It more accurate and more responsive than the standard, said to be only slightly more costly, and eliminates stick drift altogether. Now if someone creates HF modules to be used, that would be perfect

I just got mine. This is a really good controller aside from the battery life. Luckily, the wire is really really long. The locking mechanism is a nice addition. Hopefully they update the controller so it works to control more wireless headsets. The modular parts are very well thought out. Hoping we see 3rd party plastic trims and thumb sticks and maybe even back buttons. The case is very nice. Hard shelled case with a nice inner lining. Overall, a very good first shot at a Pro controller. This thing feels a bit heftier and durable. I don’t think this has the build issues the Elite controllers have. Maybe drift issues eventually as you’d expect, but now we can replace the sticks so not too big of an issue. The trigger stoppers are also very strong I’ve tried pulling on them with a decent amount of force they don’t budge. 8.5 out of 10 from me.

The two back buttons are definitely a deal breaker for me. Coming from Scuf Impact, where I literally started with 1 back button for training muscle memory, and now on 4 after a couple of years of using it, I'm NOT going back to 2 back buttons. I'd have to give up reloading and applying armor, which is not happening. Jump and crouch alone are not favorable in a pro or serious gaming environment.

The 2 back buttons instead of 4 is a dealbreaker on its own, but the low battery life is just an extra kick in the teeth.

Something about this product just irks me. It might be my limited personal experience but previous generations of console and their controllers were built in a way that I didn’t have technical issues personally ever. They lasted for me. Only this generation I’ve seen problems and that’s specifically with the switch. But I hear friends who kept their controllers well and working in previous generations complaint about stick drift etc It feels like features and customisability has been held back and married to a general manufacturing and persistent issue in stick quality problem. And marked up for good measure. All the software functions could’ve been given to regular controller from the get go. Steam development had already made this a standard and was compatible with all the different controllers you plug into a PC so it’s not a hardware level restriction but a choice to limit firmware accessibility. Just feels like we’re being sold a solution to a purpose made problem to me. But I don’t have to buy it so I won’t 🤷🏻♂️

I don't see any real reason why they wouldn't be able to implement that controller software for regular dual sense owners with a firmware update, besides gatekeeping it as some selling factor. I do love the replaceable sticks and I think it's a massive milestone for controller gaming. But I still can't justify this controller with the corners they cut on the battery. Plus I'm not a fan of no customization options and the shiny front plate that's gonna show every fingerprint immediately. The only thing that would make me reconsider is fixing the battery issue. But realistically there's no way I'm paying $200+ unless they were offering something similar to Xbox design lab. Cause as innovative as this first attempt was it's pretty crazy we only got the single back trigger option and one colorway when they already offer so many for the regular dual sense. You should be getting a customized pro controller for that price range. Hopefully it'll be at one of their next big reveals after another headset or something cause we're long overdue for Sony's attempt at a design lab

All I want is for Sony to allow the dead zones to be adjusted on standard Dual Sense controllers too. I have two Day 1 controllers with Drift but plugging them into a PC for diagnostic shows the relative drift is less than on my PS4 and XBO controllers that DON’T drift, which shows this is a software issue primarily. Dead zones are just set too small on PS5.

I never understood how controller weight ever mattered. We’re talking a matter of ounces-imperceptible to many, barely noticeable by others. A controller is not like a hat, where in certain cases (protective equipment like helmets/hard hats) a few ounces can actually have a legitimate impact and result in pain or discomfort. Nobody is waving a controller about for 8 hours+ a day, standing and holding and supporting the weight of it in outstretched arms. It sits in my lap as I play and only gets lifted into the air after a ‘WTF how did he kill me!?’ moment in multiplayer. TL;DR: No reason not to have the same size battery (or bigger) in the Edge as in the normal Dualsense.

I think the replaceable stick "cartridges" are pretty cool and a good way to address stick wear (Though the physical wear could be addressed with a metal ring around the housing like the Elite does) And the replacements are actually inexpensive, relatively. The issue I see is that if this is a longevity item, Thats a pretty extensive module to continue producing long after the product launch, in 5 years are they still going to be making those stick modules? Or 7? or 10? I wouldnt expect any stick issues bad enough to need replacing on any controller before 5 years. But thats clearly not Microsofts MO for the elite controller so maybe I'm to optimistic in that respect. But it does seem over engineered for a Item that ideally should never need replacing. The alternative with the same function is just have the module be set on the PCB with ribbon cables and have the controller made in a way thats user accessible, Something MS would never in a million years do, But with this, PS seems somewhat privy to. Its clear they have enough space in the controller design to make it easy to disassemble, As evidenced by the fact they built entirely self contained slotting modules for the entire bottom of the controller. So I would much rather have the availability to just buy the surplus analogue stick switch on the receiver board that can be reattached and mounted with a ribbon cable. You know, right to repair type stuff. but apparently having a closed echosystem hardware is more profitable somehow for them than cutting manufacturing costs of entire modules specific to their premium line of controllers rather than just designing the controller like a normal piece of hardware and selling the parts directly to customers. This is clearly the most economical and environmentally friendly way they've chosen.
