The controller is simply a game changer. Once you get your hands on it, you can't go back. It comes with this very high-quality case that is useful for safe transport. It has a very long charging cable to which you can attach a gadget it comes with, which makes the cable lock completely onto the controller. It also has buttons that you can place on the back, something that will drive online gamers crazy as it's like a cheat code. Plus, you can adjust the trigger to press like a computer mouse. The battery is satisfactory; in Cyberpunk it lasted me 8 hours, in Until Dawn 4.5, and in Red Dead Redemption 1 it lasted me 10. The more games use the Dualsense software, the faster the battery drains. The retail price is 250. I DO NOT RECOMMEND it at this price. On Skroutz I got it for 190, which is the right price if you want to get it. I forgot to mention: if it happens to get stick drift, individual sticks are sold separately so you can remove the broken one and replace it with a new one. So you don't need to replace the controller, only the stick.

Bought yesterday, opened today and the stick drift was endless, I won't comment negatively for now because I know these are machines and it can happen to anyone, it's going back for a replacement and I will return when the new one arrives...
27/12/2024 After replacement due to drifting, the new one arrived (and this one has drifting but to a minimal extent), I choose not to do anything for now because I'm tired of the hassle, I will change it again in the future before the warranty expires.
In summary, it's a premium controller but very expensive for what it provides, I personally got it because I trust Sony blindly, I don't care at all about the battery because I play with the cable plugged in which is 2 meters long, the smaller capacity is definitely a downside but still okay.
The difference that the paddles make is significant as I changed the entire layout for Warzone and it dramatically (for the better) changed my gameplay but it's not perfect as I would like, I'm still working on it.
It's nice to be able to change button profiles with just one button without having to exit the game, it's also very useful that it gives you options for speed and precision of the sticks, I repeat it takes a lot of work until you find what suits you best.
In summary: The positives are the completely different way of playing (for the better), you feel like you're holding a very good construction in your hands.
The 2 negatives are 1) its price, I got it for €220 and the second and most important of all is that there are no stick modules available anywhere in the market in case they need to be replaced, unless you find them and they cost you along with shipping as much as a new DualSense 5 (for 1 piece)
I will send the DualSense 5 I have for replacement to Hall Effect for €40 and if the job is done well, I will send the sticks of the Edge to solve my problem.
I hope I covered everything for you.

Owner of the remote control because I wanted to try something more premium. The remote control comes with a carrying case and some spare parts. It also has various extra buttons to attach to the ports and program them to do what you want. It is more glossy on the black surfaces and has embossed Sony logos on the parts you hold, making it more rugged. The cross and square buttons do not look different, but the wheels sit better than the regular ones. The R1R2L1L2 buttons are a bit sturdier and more convenient, and the R2L2 buttons have adjustable hardness. It charges with USB-C, so no change there. It is plug-and-play and has a special menu on the PS5. It is quite heavy.

Pros
- Sturdy
- You can program the entire remote control, each button
- Easy menu if you are familiar with the console

Cons
- Battery runs out quite quickly, about 4 hours
- Heavy
- Quite expensive, almost the price of a console (Switch Lite)

Overall, it does not offer anything amazing compared to the conventional one. Yes, of course, it helps to change things that may have bothered you, like the joysticks. It is very good for people with problems, because we should not forget them, so they can adjust the buttons as they please. It has noticeably lower battery life. I do not think it is worth spending 240 euros, and a reasonable price would be 120-140 euros mainly because of this customization. If I see something strange, I will let you know, but generally, it is what you see on the other one. One last thing, it may be very good for the PC, although so far I cannot find any tool for PC for remapping.

I have been playing COD for years and I have always been looking for a GOOD controller.

Deadzone at 0 forever...., there is no competition when to have this you need to buy controllers by the kilo compared to any other custom controller.

If you are also considering Digital taps/smart triggers, don't worry, the button quality is so good that the response is sufficient. And with overclocking, you are okay.

As for the battery, yes it is small, but it is not for the gamer who sits relaxed on the couch. It is for someone who sits in front of the screen and wants low latency through a cable. (The fact that we hear comments about its battery is irrelevant).

WARNING: To adjust the special settings that the controller has and even to do a simple keybind on the back paddles, you need a PS5 !! If you don't have a PS5* it's like getting a regular controller. Something that should be mentioned in big red letters somewhere.... e.g. for PC users.....

*In case you made a mistake and don't have a PS5, there is a paid application called DSX on Steam.

Finally, Sony!

As a design, it is fantastic, nice heavy controller and tremendous in performance. The great thing is that you can easily change the joysticks without having to buy the controller again and spend all the money. Also, very good quality, I saw the hard case to protect it while charging and inside the case. The only thing that bothers me is its battery, you may say yes, but it gives you a long cable to charge it as the cable can lock onto the controller and not come off easily. The battery lasts about 7 hours, depending on the functions you have given it and how you use them. Now, whoever wants to have it wired will never have a problem, but someone who wants to have it wireless will need to charge it every 6-7 hours. In conclusion, I have no words, it is fantastic in every aspect, of course, we are talking about an expensive device, it is not for everyone, solely because of the price. Also, the paddles, as you know, can be easily adjusted from the back, which helps me a lot in Call of Duty. I hope I covered a large part of the questions that people have. Thank you

Well, things are simple… if you're a gamer and have already ruined 3-4 DualSense controllers on the PS5 due to drifting… get the Edge to switch with €24 replacement analog sticks.

From there on…

Design: 10/10 just like the regular one

Grip: 10/10 better than the regular one, especially on the inside where your fingers touch, it has a rougher surface so it doesn't slip. Update a year and a half later: the anti-slip surface has come off at the edges and cannot be fixed.

Battery: 5/10 it's terrible… it lasts almost half the time of the regular one.

Extra buttons: 8/10 only 2 are the triggers that you can add from the back to perform the same function as some of the existing old buttons. The long triggers it has are not comfortable at all, and you will exclusively use the 2nd option, the smaller ones. The other extra buttons in front of the analog sticks are only for changing profiles and some system functions like volume control.

Response time reduction on L2 - R2 triggers: 8/10
Okay, it has an option that shortens the trigger's travel, but still, at the end, there is a small gap.

Accessories: 9/10 nice carrying case but I don't intend to take it out often. The long cable is good, but I would prefer a larger battery. Nice lock for the charging cable. Good extra options on the analog sticks, although I left the stock ones because I put my own grips on top.

Value for money: 5/10 I price it around €150 - 180 max and not €250.

What options do you have from the competition?
You can go for Scuf starting at €220 for the PS5 with better battery life and 4 extra triggers, but you'll live with the risk of drifting on the analog sticks.

UPDATE 17/11/24: DO NOT BUY!!!

You won't find anywhere to get Edge module sticks for replacement. They have been out of stock from Sony for months!!! Sony is seriously fooling us as they released a pro controller and do not care about the availability of replacement parts.
