Better for the environment you know?

2 hours is enough for my gaming standards

@@Oven-wc1ji 💀 the one that came with ps5 my batt lasts 2-3 max that seems crazy! Turn it on select Netflix it’ll auto shut off do that 2-3x and batt is already dead’ 2023 and we can’t get 8-10 hr batt life 🤯

🤔 Only 2 hours, Got 7 hours 50 minutes out of mine.

@@deanlynch11811 for now, in a year or two that controller is gonna last 1-2h without a battery replacement. My regular dualsense lasts 3-4h now. Edit: I’m using the Edge wired-only now to preserve battery life.

They gotta get those suckers with more money than sense to make up for the losses made on the consoles somehow.

Cooking dinner would be a must..

Man if you can’t afford this controller….then Clearly your not making enough to buy the nice things in life and would rather complain about it lol all good maybe one day sport

@@OldStickyRice check your privilege.

@@OldStickyRice get off your high horse princess, you probably work at Starbucks.

Or at least sell a Hall-effect stick module separately Sure still greedy af, but would make for a much more enticing product in the end

They didn't implement hall effect sensors because they know they wouldn't get forced repeat sales.

@@neutronpcxt372exactly hall effect sensors have been around since the beginning they just removed them for a cheaper less reliable thumb stick instead to make extra money off gamers

Gulikit has committed to making hall effect sensor for this controller

@@UpgradeRL God tier manufacturer :) Maybe they could make upgrade kits for other controllers as well :)

You're speaking truth. My Xbox One controllers last at least twice as long as my DualSense controllers.

I already heard from some people owning the Edge controller that the battery life is a lot shorter. This is very unfortunate since otherwise I would love the controller. This is the main reason I don't want to buy it myself, and it just doesn't sound like an expensive upgrade if the battery lasts for a lot shorter time. In my opinion an upgrade should have the same specs or better, not this much worse. It is a big difference, almost 50% less battery.

Company trick, they just want you to buy two and switch off.

I play a sessions and still have 1-2 bars depending if it’s 4-5 hours so if this last 3 I’m good

Looking at how packed that controller is I think that physical size of the battery cannot go any bigger..

One of my good friends and her sister picked up a couple of them. They said those controllers are the best ones they've ever used. Worth the 400 she dumped on them. From how they feel, to button mapping, weight, trigger adjustment switches, and repairability, I hear nothing but positives. Considering getting myself one. "I know why they called it Dualsense EDGE. It gives you an edge in any game over anyone using the regular Dualsense once you learn how to really use it." and "The entire way the controller is charged, length, and type of cable, and locking mechanism will go a long way in preventing wear out which is top tier for the price point." (They had worn out their original PS5 DualSense charging cables within 5 months of getting the console because they prefer staying wired rather than wireless. They also wore out 3 Dualsense controllers over drift issues caused by: Reaching POT's rated cycle life for her, and "Cheeto dust" for her sister which was said in jest as they're both clean freaks.) They're gamers to the core so if they say it's good, it's good.

All 15 owners of the Xbox One got to enjoy those triggers as well, 10 years ago.

Hall effect sensors have been used in the automotive realm for decades, from ABS to Tachometers. If a manufacturer ever says durability is a "problem" with Hall effect just know they're lying

@@terracar2003 lol, incredible! The tech is old AF 🤣 That said, I can't help but feel a box of stray neodymium magnets could ruin everything. I mean that scenario might probably be a disaster without hall effect anyway

@@terracar2003durability is code for less sales of replacement sticks as Hall effect last longer due to no friction - it’s all about the $$$$

It’s actually more than 4 usually but I don’t like to deplete the battery completely. I’m OCD like that.

people are trained to not take repairability granted anymore. It's not a luxury, it's a right and a neccessity.

You don't have to buy the 1st party replacement parts. Just like the Xbox controllers, where you can totally buy 3rd party batteries, thumb sticks, motors, buttons, and even the shells.

@@patx35 that doesn't really affect my point that repairability has been used just as a marketing tool to upsell you to buy more and more expensive stuff at all

​@@salmiakki5638 Based on the other features, repairability isn't what justifies the price tag. Looks more like a hotswap thumb sticks is meant for personalization, rather than being practical.

Battery is easy to replace problem is finding one that fits thats 4000 mah the regular controller doesn't have that issue

Exactly, really glad they didnt make it cramped and instead made it pretty simple to take apart and re-put together.

Samsung and Apple are blocking solid state batteries, it would destroy their phone sales.

​@@KadeWenter What?? It would literally make the battery life way better and stay good. Or they would make the batteries smaller with similar battery life and make more space for other components, like cameras or speakers. Why would you think it would make their phone sales plummet let alone you thinking they wanna stop it lmao

@@rickshawdriverhoothoot1592 Samsung spends millions to make people think they're researching solid state batteries, but they already exist for smaller devices. Most cellphone's are bought because the battery has worn out, period.

@@KadeWenter what small devices use them then?

@@rickshawdriverhoothoot1592 pacemakers have used solid state batteries since forever. Nobody knows that, but they know samsung spends millions on "research", because the media is paid by Samsung.

You should try to repair the drifting stick! If it's between that and throwing out the controller, what's there to lose?

Agreed. It is expensive. And the joysticks still remaining potentiometers doesn't help. If they were hall sensors it would have been much better.

So, you have one? You're using it? I really want to know what the battery life is like?

@@joshuaewalker I mean it comes with like a 10 ft wire that locks into the port I don’t have battery life issues cause I don’t run out of battery

@@joshuaewalker I’ve Gina 4 hrs non stop on the battery I mean I’m proberly not the best to test battery cause I don’t run for more then that at a time

@Joshua Walker Nonstop playing Call of Duty the controller when dead after 7 hours and 49 minutes

@@deanlynch11811 that’s not even bad

And just like the elite, like 10 pro controllers before it lol. Microsoft didn't invent pro controller homie xD
