smooth as silk brand new controller. replacing my console controller, i like the grade of purple they used for this galactic deep and almost blue shade of purple. it offers a subtle contrast of black and dark purple between the thumbsticks and buttons. its a bluish purple not a pink/redish purple. very happy.

Was one of the lucky few to get a PS5 online. Also purchased a base that has a controller charger. So far machine works great. Is much quieter than PS4. Will be even better when more exclusive content is available. Porting over existing PS4 games from old machine was easy. Received less than a week from ordering.

What is there to say - there's only one licensed PS5 controller out there that I'm aware of, so why not get the official one. Overall this is really easy to use, high quality and durable - I've had mine for a year and it still works perfectly well. I've had previous controllers where a button gets stuck or stops working after a short while and never had any problems here.

[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 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

My son, 10 years old, was very pleased with his new PS5 controller. He loved the camouflage style. The only thing that I was unhappy with is that it did not come with a charging cable, you have to use the one that came with the PS console, therefore you can only charge 1 controller at a time. My son didn’t seem to mind but I wish I wouldn’t know before I ordered (maybe I overlooked that info and just assumed it came with a charging cable.)

Prices are out of hand these days

Love the color and that the limited edition was available

Price has never dropped. Seems like it should have after so much time has passed.

Gaming merchandise is overpriced in general.
