Awesome experience with the controller! It's the most next-gen thing out there... It really takes gaming to another level. If you haven't played with it, you can't understand. It would be perfect if the battery lasted longer. With so many features, though, it's understandable that it doesn't have huge autonomy. The good thing is that you can turn off or reduce many functions, increasing it.
Well, this is the authentic controller, so I don't need to say much, but I wasn't satisfied with the quality; it has dropped a lot... (unless the place where I got it gave me a clone, what can I say) I mean, after two months with almost zero usage (I mainly got it as a controller for the computer), it started to creak...
Also (I don't know if this is a computer issue or if it's the same on the PS5), the vibration is weak; I remember other authentic Sony controllers I had had much stronger vibration...
But compared to other 20-euro or 40-euro ones, it's better because at least the analog sticks (which I still find worse than those, for example, on the PS2) are quite a bit more precise.
By far the best controller on the market in terms of quality-price. But it couldn't be without a negative, bought it in December and with quite a bit of use on PC it recently started to squeak, I didn't expect something like this to happen and so soon, it doesn't make noise when you press buttons, but when I press from underneath with enough pressure it squeaks, if it gets worse I will just buy it again, I will buy another DualSense that breaks until the PS6 comes out, then I will get that one.
Sony please fix your controllers I have bought three of them and the two of them had stick drift which I had to fix by myself am the other man very bad quality of the plastics and the options button on the controller sticks sometimes when I press it. Maybe Sony wants us to bug dual-sense edge controllers which are more durable and if the have stick drift we can replace the stick modules with new ones an not pay full price on a new controller
The review concerns how it works with PC and Win10/11.
The list of supported features by utility and compatible games: www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Controller:DualSense
Drifting of the left joystick after minimal use.
The position of the left joystick is uncomfortable compared to an Xbox controller.
Battery life.
Rapid wear and tear.
Vibration sounds like a bell.
Clearly overpriced.
Only one year warranty
The build quality is terrible. Apart from the fact that stick drift occurs in the first few months, it is not durable. With the slightest hit/fall, something can break (microphone, buttons, or the stick). For 70€ the controller is a joke for the consumer
Sturdy construction at 280g. Fits perfectly in palms like mine (medium-sized). Doesn't strain the tendons of the fingers. R, L buttons are quite soft.
Now, regarding any misunderstandings about the model. This particular one is the V2 with FCC ID expiration → 1B. The 1B is an upgraded version of the 1A and as far as I know, the most recent one. The colored models (all except the white one) are at least V2 with ID 1A.
Purchased during days of Play 2023. I liked the color, but also the texture is very nice, it doesn't slip as much as the white one. Normal use, with plenty of FPS games, has not presented any issues
After almost 2 years of use, my observation is that it may be the worst controller Sony has released. Stick drifting in 6 months and then in a new controller the same after a few months while the stick also broke. I have already used 4 controllers. The controller of the PS4 was more reliable. It does not justify its cost. EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE!! Here the saying "you get what you pay for" does not apply.
I have been using the dualsense controller that came with the Playstation 5 for almost 3 years, and I think I can write my opinion on it!
POSITIVES:
1) It has a very nice build quality compared to the dualshock 4! You don't feel like you're holding plastic in your hands, but something better and sturdy.
2) The buttons, joysticks, touchpad, and triggers have a nice feel to them!
3) I can't overlook the new innovations in vibrations and triggers. They make the gaming experience different in games that support these technologies. You feel the environment (e.g. when stepping on snow or swimming) and the sensation of objects you use (e.g. when shooting with a gun or sniper)!
4) Long battery life! (If you have vibrations enabled, the battery loses a lot of its duration)
NEGATIVES:
1) The dualsense (like other controllers on the market) besides the usage you will make, luck plays a HUGE role in whether the controller will experience DRIFT (and not only). I consider it tragic to pay 70€ (or 50€ if you find it on sale) for controllers and have them break within the first few months. Maybe I was lucky, but from kids I know, within the first 3 months, with not much usage, the controller started to drift. The dualsense that came with my console started to drift recently after about 2.5 years of use. Was I lucky? Did I use it well? I don't have an answer.
CONCLUSION:
As a controller, it is very good! Whether it is worth it depends on the hands of each user. Controllers, like headphones, are purely subjective because we are not all the same. As a user who has worked with it for several years, I am satisfied!
Very good for its price (bought for 57 euros through skroutz). I didn't notice any difference in its handling compared to the Sony DualSense V1, but I will come back regarding the battery life (it is said to have a longer battery life than the V1). However, what I want to emphasize is to pay attention when you buy it, the FCC ID should be AK8CFIZCT1A and not AK8CFIZCT1B, which is the FCC ID of the first dualsense. (It is written on the back of the controller in capital letters). Initially, I ordered the dualsense v2 from another store, but I received dualsense v1 and canceled it since they informed me that they don't have the V2. So, check as soon as you receive the controller. I hope I helped regarding this.
So the controller is the best thing I've ever held in my hands. Until now, it was the Xbox Series one that I use on PC. I have both of them in a photo so you can see that they are roughly the same size. The only thing I don't like is the shape of the handles because if your hand sweats even a little, they slip and come off. The same goes for the joysticks. The Xbox controller has joysticks in a concave shape and a non-slip design around them, while the DS joysticks do not. I have uploaded a photo as well. They have come off several times due to sweat on my fingers. Also, personally, I would prefer it to take removable AA or CR123A batteries for greater capacity. The ones I have in the Xbox controller are 2,300 mAh each and you really forget to recharge them. The DS battery barely lasts a day even if you have the backlight at a low level, while if you have activated functions like adaptive triggers at full intensity, mic, backlight above normal intensity, etc., it drains it. It is very small for its specifications. As for gaming on PC, I would not recommend it. If you want to see its real functions, play on the PS5.
Very good controller. I use it for PC and I have no issues, it is a simple controller. It doesn't have anything amazing like back buttons, so for 60€ I would like something more.
Well, I will start with the positives... First of all, we are talking about the best controller available on a console... It has a very precise TouchPad which is also a regular button... Good quality speaker where you can hear the effects of each game... Microphone that you can activate or deactivate instantly with a button... Haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and countless other features... Amazing feel in the hand, nothing like Dualshock, that's why it's called Dualsense...
Now the downside.......... The one and only negative... Stick Drifting... It is unacceptable from Sony to have such an issue within 6, 7, 8 months... Yes, okay, if it's within warranty they will replace it with a new one, like I did too, but still in a year at most the same thing again;;;;;;;;; Just to inform the world, this issue is present worldwide, that's why Sony has faced crazy lawsuits... Sorry for my rambling.
Stick drift in 6 months is unacceptable.... I have 2 dualsense controllers and one of them had stick drift after 6 months. The dualshock 4 never had such an issue in 6 years of use....
I bought my first ps5 controller and it broke a month after a year of use. The L2 trigger in the plastic and the spring holder broke. So I had to buy a new one because it cannot be fixed with a replacement part. So I got the same brand new one, thinking that it was just a coincidence that it broke... if it wasn't a coincidence... the second one I bought broke in the same spot within a month... the triggers are terrible unfortunately, and that alone forces me to give it 1 star, which is a lot considering the money you spend. It's a shame because I was used to quality from Sony for so many years. It disappointed all of us
The new generation controllers of the PS5, which end with the code CT1B and you recognize it from the fact that it is new on the back of the controller. Beautiful in sterling silver and makes you reminisce moments from the old PS with its presentation. 5-10 euros more than the plain white ones, but if you can, it's worth it!
I’m sorry for sony company because this controller not working well on pc even playstation exclusive games
Not working rgb color style vibrate speaker bottom map not support games
It works perfectly on Windows and Steam. It is comfortable to hold and has a good button feel. However, some of the DualSense features, such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, are not fully supported on Windows and Steam. Maybe I didn't manage to do it, if you know any way to enable all the functions on the computer, please help.
I use it to play FIFA 2024 and it is an excellent experience. However, if you are looking for the full DualSense experience, you might consider using it with a PlayStation 5, but it's also okay on PC.
This specific controller is proof that this particular controller design is the best. It is extremely ergonomic and the battery lasts a long time for me, as I play for 3 to 5 hours a day. The charging is relatively slow, taking about 2 hours from 12% to 100%. I have mentioned that it is not worth its price, and this is 100% true for me because no controller is worth its price nowadays. 60 euros for a controller is a tragic price.
Be very careful with the double input on the PC if you previously had extra programs for other unrelated controllers that you had purchased. It is advisable to delete them from your PC because the controller will behave very strangely. Even if you use ds4windows, be very cautious about how you use it.
I have 2 of these, the white and the camouflage, which for me is by far the most beautiful. I have had them for 1+ year (together with the console of course) and they are great and very functional, no drifting or anything. If you take care of them, they will take care of you. They fill your hands and the technologies with the paddles and feedback are awesome. By far the best controller on the market.
Excellent Controller, definitely the best one Sony has made. Its best feature is the Adaptive Triggers that make you feel like you're inside the game. It has different levels of vibration that change automatically based on the game, and it connects everywhere via Bluetooth. That is, PlayStation 5, PC, Android, and iOS. It's definitely worth it!!!!
I have it for six months in blue color and the analog stick has started drifting. Apart from that, in my opinion, the controller is great, it is the best one available
It is a classic dual sense controller, very good. The color elevates it. As soon as I got this, I stopped playing with the white one that came with the Ps5
I deduct one star because the left analog stick started drifting after about 2 years of use. I did use it for gaming quite a bit, but I took good care of it and it hasn't been dropped or hit, and it's the first controller (out of many that I own) that has started drifting. It might have been just my unit, but I can't overlook it.
I use it mainly for PC gaming with Steam. Having owned fifteen controllers (all first-party and some well-known third-party brands), I can confidently say that this is my favorite. You can feel the solid construction, without any creaking, and the materials are quite durable. Perhaps the only controller that feels slightly more premium to the touch is the Xbox controller, but for me, in terms of ergonomics and how comfortable it is in the hand, nothing can beat it (although this is subjective to some extent). The buttons have a perfect click and provide good feedback to the user, the analog sticks have a good height and are precise (no drifting after two years), and the triggers are possibly the best ones out there, with nice resistance and a long travel distance. Unfortunately, on PC, the haptic feedback only works with specific Sony games. The only mediocre aspect is the D-pad, which I find quite heavy, and the empty space in the middle is not very convenient for games like fast-paced platformers. The battery life is okay, about 7-8 hours, but it's almost half the duration compared to the Xbox controller. At least it has a built-in battery and doesn't require external chargers. On the downside, I noticed occasional slight input lag when connected via Bluetooth to the computer. It's not a constant issue, but many times I had to connect the cable to be able to play fast-paced action segments properly.
Overall, I think it's the best option in this price range, and I believe it offers enough features to a satisfactory degree that there are few reasons to spend more money on a more expensive controller (pro controller, edge, scarf, etc.)
Perfect color, purple, and very high quality, but I bought it because my other one started drifting on the left analog stick after 4 months of use. It's just tragic that I didn't notice it sooner.
For those who want to upgrade from PS4 to PS5 or want to get their first PS5, I will explain in detail whether this controller is worth it or not.
First of all, the updated adaptive triggers and haptic feedback are truly incredible. Depending on the situation you are in, the buttons harden when you press them or relax accordingly. Also, the vibration is extreme and really immerses you in the game. It has a sturdy construction and for me, it is 100% positive. It has silent buttons, a relatively good battery that, however, easily drains with the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, and needs improvement, but it is not very negative, it is logical. It connects easily and quickly, I don't even need to mention it. It has a nice grip that makes you feel better and hold it better. It is beautiful and comes in many colors. With the DualSense, you won't go back to DualShock4. It is a one-way street.
Now, if it's worth going from PS4 to PS5, I would definitely say PS5, as the console and the controller have nothing to do with each other. Of course, if you don't have a PlayStation and are thinking of getting one, what are you waiting for?
