These controllers really have gotten pricier from generation to generation and a lot more sophisticated, maybe unnecessarily so. Having to update the controller with the console this gen seems like asking a bit much. But when a console is designed for artistic aesthetics more than practical function, what can you expect. I'm not really sure the controllers are any better made, but with each generation Sony's controllers have a little more heft to them. I know kids seem to love the new tactile triggers. But I just regard the feature as a battery waster and turn it off, like the vibration function. It doesn't seem to add anything of value in either realism or gaming enhancement, unless the game unnecessarily limits vibration as the only clue prompt or something, rather than an audible cue. If only Sony would focus less on gimmicks and more on quality, their controllers might not need replacing as often. Or they need to make a more bare-boned version without all the unnecessary fluff that's all too often inconsistently used by developers anyway, if used at all. That said PS5 controller sticks seem to hold up a little longer than the PS4 did. Or maybe my nephews just aren't as hard on them as they used to be. Our white controller that came with the console started sticking or free-walking a little after 6 months. I found a few tricks to fixing it online, but wanted another backup just in case it gets worse. And Black Friday is the only time to buy a PS5 controller, if you can wait. The top of this blue controller has an almost pearlescent blue finish, which looks much nicer than previous generations or the black and white versions for the PS5. Of course, in a dark room, it doesn't really matter how nice it looks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Because I like it but it seems to have a button that's showing signs that it may get stuck early on with not much use. Also this remote was slightly higher in price than others that I looked at on the Walmart App.

But the controls are great ! At first it feels offbrand because the runner analog was made to wear out quickly the design is rubber not metal or plastic as it should be , these ps5 controllers are cheaper than the ps3 controllers but hey whatever it helps to get you to spend money for more gameplay like rust or dayz add me isouljatoy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Because me and my boyfriend are gamers! He wanted a new controller for Christmas , he needed one anyways lol but this one is the one he's been wanting and I'm glad I was able to snatch it up on sale! I didn't have to wait long either ! Great overall

I have brought 3 controllers in the last 6 months and 2 of them works fine but the one I brought before this one did not last 4 months before it started drifting so this is my last controller I will ever buy if this one don’t work I have brought 3 PlayStation controllers in 2 years an I brought a charging port that only one side works so have not had a good experience with accessories

i really enjoy the Dualsense ps5 controller! I had friends over to play video games and they completely destroyed two other controllers so, i was overdue for a new one as the last one i purchased was along with the ps5 in November 2022. This new one definitely comes in handy and i haven't had to charge it for about 3 days. wonderful product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been very excited for this item! I ordered it knowing it was very expensive but the deals helped me out and made sure I was getting a good deal and with it being a bigger item i was surprised they had it in stock and that it was so fast to be ready after I ordered it

My previous controllers failed the way with the ole unsteady left stick issue!! I know it's a flaw in their controller system because so many failed like this! It's like these controllers are not durable and can't take a man's hand strength!! Plus the warranty Sony gives are only 90 days. So it might be time to get a Walmart Plus warranty or try other brands controller!

Got this on sale for 70, great replacement or addition to the original, to play cod with, after the original started to drift a little bit after going into a racing game trend for a bit. Eventually might replace it with the Edge but its just not worth it for me at 200 bucks

This controller feels smooth and really nice looks so cool too I love the camouflage pattern to it and the color black and gray look perfect also please make sure to buy a 3 year warranty for and extra 6 dollars you can save yourself form buying a whole new controller because of stick drift over all it’s perfect!
