____________________________________________________
The DualSense Edge is the first native pro controller designed for the ground up for the PlayStation 5. It's been almost 1 year since it's been released and used it as my daily driver controller... how has it held up? Is it truly the best Pro Controller for the PS5? Is it worth the asking price?

Same! All my grandparents came to the UK during the Windrush era. But I'm also a fighting game player and this was really helpful. I'm actually a Tekken streamer. I just bought a dual edge but it was an absolute impulse buy and I'm considering returning it so I can get a steam deck. I'm a PC gamer. But the case looks beautiful

The creaking noise was driving me insane. It was an easy fix though. You pop off the trigger, push the spring to the outer side and put a bit of lube on the spring area. And use the same kind of lube they use for custom keyboards.

It's the same as regular dual sense it doesn't have a premium feel and the replacement sticks cost as much as a controller on special now don't buy this it's also known for it's terrible durability The grips are guaranteed to bubble up and the back buttons are none responsive after a few months of use be careful and save your money you'll never use the special features or even feel them after looking at them once look at other video's about the controller recently they are all about the durability problems

@KamaniBrown 7 ай бұрын

@@gigapac I’m sorry you had such a horrible experience but myself and all my other friends have never experienced any of those problems at all. We all share the same sentiments in terms of what I said in my video… it’s an excellent pro controller for the PS5 and we all can’t see ourselves without it. There has been no malfunctions or durability issues to speak of after a whole year. I can only speak for myself though and ultimately I take care of my electronics and accessories.

@@gigapac that’s very unfortunate bro. That also sounds really unusual as well because it feels solid to me… even today after a year’s worth of fairly heavy use. But yet again I tend to baby my electronics 😂. The only thing I would worry about giving out over time would be the sticks and at least those are easily replaceable. Maybe yours was defective 🤷🏾‍♂️. If it’s still under warranty, you may need to get it checked out.

These things are very easy to clean. You just get a toothpick and scrub out the dirt in the sides. You can also use alcohol wipes. Very important to keep your control of clean so it doesn't break down

@KamaniBrown 3 ай бұрын

That is indeed true my friend! I will admit though, recently (a while after this review) the inner rubber type of material on the handles have started to discolour unfortunately to a slight blown...no amount of cleaning can fix that. So unfortunately unlike the original dualsense, the materials aren't as durable after long term it seems. My original dualsense controllers are still a breeze to clean though.

Bro how is your controller white on back. I owned one of these for 1 month and back was permanently discolored yellow. And I am an extremely clean individual so that is unlikely for me to happen. Im amazed at your condition controller.

@KamaniBrown 3 ай бұрын

Lol. I don’t know what to say bro… mine did start changing color eventually though to be honest. My take on it is the material they use for that side of the controller is prone to premature degradation depending on each person’s circumstances (environment, care, use, sweaty palms, etc…). For me, like a couple months after making this video it did start to change to a light brown. Not a big deal though… I changed the shell completely and it looks so sick! 😁… I show how I did it in this video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbCkfMihkr_YhJ8.html

This is going to be a long paragraph... I bought my PS5 slim spiderman 2 bundle on black friday this year,which came with 1 controller, then yesterday i traded my old dualshock 4 to my friend and he gave me an almost new dualsense in the box so I know have 2 dualsense controllers but i really want a dualsense edge but its really expensive im thinking of either getting a bunch of games and ps+ for christmas and my birthday since its in january,or i am thinking of just getting the dualsense edge only for christmas and birthday and get the games later,but i have no clue what to do

@KamaniBrown 7 ай бұрын

Well to be honest my friend I would suggest getting the games and PS+ (especially if those games are games you actually want) because as great as the dualsense edge is… it makes no sense to get it if you have no games to play with it 🤷🏾‍♂️. You can always save up and get the dualsense edge later. You can even trade in those games (when you’re done playing them) along with 1 of the regular dualsense controllers you already own and then save up the remaining amount and get the dualsense edge later.

I had two stick drifts on my controller in one year

@KamaniBrown 2 ай бұрын

Wow! That’s crazy bro 😮. Mine are still going strong with no signs of that… hoping it stays that way 🤞🏾. Good thing they sell the sticks separately which should be around $20 a piece… however I have been noticing them going in and out of stock quite often lately with scumbag scalpers price gouging them… sigh… best of luck bro. I really hope you get them replaced soon. It’s still my favorite PS5 controller by a long shot. FYI though I have built a custom PS5 pro controller from the ground up for less money than the Edge (currently waiting on final parts to finish up the video). It will perform even better in esport and competitive play online as well. So stay tuned for that also.

@GAMESK3325 2 ай бұрын

About the dual-stick mods for $20, you are correct. Trying to find them anywhere was like when the PS5 first came out, with scalpers selling them for almost three times their worth. I love my PlayStation Edge controller; I actually have two now. I'm holding off on using my older one until I get new parts. I've just been having bad luck; the second one I purchased already had stick drift, so this is my third controller now. I used to be a really hardcore COD player, but despite the mishaps, it's still my favorite controller.

Controller comfort is night and day for me on edge versus OG. OG doesn't even exist to me. OG had cut off handles, giving me discomfort in my palms. OG has a black lip under the sticks, digging into my fingers. Back has no shape curve like ps4 controller. Overall the edge is mandatory for me to enjoy ps5 games because the controller was the worst design I ever witnessed. For me, personally, from the issues I stated above.

@KamaniBrown 3 ай бұрын

I completely agree bro 🍻. Trust me, after getting the edge, I can’t do without it anymore. And after getting a rechargeable battery for it, I almost never have to put it down or plug it in no matter how long my gaming session is. I did a video review on that battery here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/frRdYNiknMW2YoE.html
