I bought this controller to replace my old controller, which got analog stick drift 8 months in. Drift is when one or both of the sticks give input even when not being touched i.e. the camera or character move/drift on their own. In several more months, when this controller's analog sticks begin drifting, I will have to pay $75 to replace this one. I'm not sure if the flaw was intentional or not, but it is irritating, always happens, makes Sony a mountain of cash, and will never be corrected. The rest of the controller is of superb quality.

This review is for the midnight black. Definitely, a leap in gaming technology over the Dual Shocks. Great haptic feedback, adaptive triggers along with the built-in speaker and microphone makes for a great gaming combination that really puts you into the game. You feel every swing, bullet, raindrop, even the mush of walking in sand. The gamepad gives you a detailed level of force feedback. I like the trigger feedback that was lacking on the Dual Shocks. It really brings a new sense to the game that you didn’t know you missed until you experience it on this gamepad. You can use the mic to chat or in some cases, such as in Astro’s playroom, use it as part of the game play. It is slightly thicker and bigger than the Dualshocks, but feels like a sturdy controller. Definitely a big step up over the PS3 controllers that feel flimsy in comparison now. The controller is comfortable to hold and use. I like the Dual sense white that came with my system, but I wanted a second one and prefer the black color. Unfortunately, this black controller had nothing but issues. It had a severe stick drift and appeared to be defective straight out of the box, so I returned it. The gamepad is pricy, but is a big step forward in technology, if the game takes advantage of the features, that makes games even more immersive and fun to play. Unfortunately, these seem more fragile than previous generations and this controller had very severe stick drift, which seems to be a common issue with these Dual sense, although oddly the white one out of the console box, has had no issues. So, if you get one that isn’t defective, then these controllers work great. But this one didn’t work well at all. 1 stars

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always purchased my controllers and playstation cards from Walmart walmart is my go to store 4 everything no matter what I buy it's all one and done and back home the only time I take long is if I have to pay Bill's water electric rent things that isn't fun u know lol😮

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One thing is Walmart has the best quality in products. I bought my son this ps5 remote and I just love the packaging the quality of the product and how Walmart you get what you order, and I have never had an issue with wrong orders being sent.

This controller is the absolute best controller ever ive owned a lot of different consoles in my 40 years of living but this controller is on another level dwarfing all the rest of the controllers ita tryly next level i love everything about it its definitely worth the money, i mean its got a speaker and mic in it so u can game and talk to your friends without a headset i highly recommend, and i got exactly what I ordered the galactic purple brand new flawless i would also recommend getting insurance on it its only 6 dollars more and if something happens to it you can get a new one but other than that it came quickly and was everything I'd hoped for.

This controller is absolutely amazing, although it was hard to get used to since I constantly used a DualShock 4. This controller is so much bigger rounder and heavier than the DualShock 4, which isn’t really a big deal but it takes my mind off the game for a moment. Lastly I tried to connect it to my PC which worked perfectly but the controller could not play any games. So personally while the controller is great this app needs a 4.5 rating to really say the truth of how good and bad it is.

Extremely pleased with this controller. It looks much better in person than in the pictures. Love the metallic finish (my FAVORITE color), the rubber grips on the back, shorter triggers, and clickier buttons. Compared to the original controller, this one has a slightly less mushier button feeling. Overall, you can’t go wrong with picking up one of these metallic controllers.

This new blue is very striking in person. It's a nice metallic sheen to it that really looks great. I am anxious to if the upcoming faceplate for the console will have the same metal Ii c sheen. Standard DualSense controller otherwise, though it does have better stronger springs in the triggers compared to the launch controllers which prevents breakage.

This is a great accompany to the current controller to the one that comes with PS5. Exactly the same except that it comes in Black. I got it from Walmart to make sure it was genuine and not a knockoff from another company. This is the legit device and works perfectly out of the box. Setting up the controller works great. I had no issues and using it daily, it works great.

at first it worked great and looked great for our PS5. but after a little bit of use it has developed a really bad drift. still able to use it for youtube and such but once we start playing any games we have to swich back to the controllers that came with the console.
