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 review was collected as part of a promotion.] Same as my previous statement. It would have been nice to pay a bit less for some standard white controllers, especially since I had to buy 2 at the same time. However, there were no standard ones in stock, so I had to pay extra just because these were camouflage even though I didn’t want camouflage.

Unlike the previous Playstation models made these controllers for the PS5 seem to last longer, are sturdier, and we've yet to replace any after having a system for 3 years. We just keep buying them because they come out with cool colors and we have a large gaming family.

The controller worked fine, but the one I received had a huge sharp seam which dug into the left palm while using it. The replacement seems fine and Walmart sent it reasonably quickly. The console I bought in the same order also had to be returned due to a defective GPU. - unfortunately couldn't exchange THAT because they went out of stock shortly after I placed the order. COME ON SONY, get it together with the quality control!

Bought the controller, used it for less than a week and the square button broke and started sticking. Bought another one the same exact color after returning the first one, now after a week of use, the X button is doing the same exact thing. Insane I could use my PS4 controllers constantly for years without issue, and they weren’t even $80

I’m about to get a lot of brownie points for this one. My 12-year-old son is absolutely obsessed with the Sony PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller in Volcanic Red. I mean, this thing isn’t just a controller—it's practically a work of art. 😎 First off, the color. The Volcanic Red is bold, sleek, and gives the whole gaming setup some serious swag. My son loves the look of it, and let’s just say it’s now the most talked-about item in his room (next to his gaming chair, of course, but that’s another story). It’s got this fiery, vibrant vibe that makes his other controllers look, well, kind of boring in comparison. But let’s talk about the performance. The haptic feedback and adaptive triggers? I honestly didn’t know controllers could get this fancy. My son was practically jumping out of his seat the first time he used it, especially when the triggers responded to in-game actions like pulling a bowstring or revving an engine. It’s like you can feel the game—if that makes sense. The immersion is next-level, and it completely changes the gaming experience. He won’t stop telling me how awesome it is. (Honestly, I think he might have developed a slight obsession.) The controller is also super comfortable. It’s ergonomic, so even after hours of intense gaming, his hands don’t get sore. I’ve noticed he’s been using it for much longer sessions without complaining, which is definitely a good sign! The wireless connection is solid, too—no annoying lag or disconnects in the middle of a game (thank you, Sony). Durability? This thing can take a beating. If you have a 12-year-old, you know they don’t exactly treat things with kid gloves. But after weeks of non-stop Fortnite marathons and crazy button-smashing, this controller is still going strong. It’s clearly built to last, and I’m pretty sure it could survive the apocalypse at this point. All in all, the Sony PS5 DualSense Wireless Controller in Volcanic Red is a total win. My son is thrilled with it, and so am I, because it’s really elevated his gaming experience. If you're looking to upgrade your kid’s controller and want something that looks great, feels amazing, and works like a dream, this is the one. Highly recommend for any serious gamer—your son (or daughter) will thank you later!

I’ve used an Xbox controller for a long time and after using this controller I can immediately tell the difference in quality. The ps5 controller feels amazing and work’s amazing. I honestly never want to use my Xbox controller for anything as the ps5 controller is better in every aspect as far as I see. If you can buy this controller you won’t regret.

My controller along with 3 others still looks brand new but are useless because of the stick drift and it can't be repaired unless you send it in to Sony. Which cost $21 just to ship for warranty repair. No warranty or proof of purchase and it's not worth fixing.

Worked great for 5 months. Now it has super bad drift, so I’m going to have to return it…since it’s been less than a year, even though I paid for 2 year coverage I have to go thru PlayStation and pay OUT OF MY OWN POCKET to send it back. I sure thought since I bought the protection plan I wouldn’t have to do that. I’m not sure if it’s just PlayStation making junk controllers (this is the 3rd controller) within 2 years…or if this was just a bad seller. The other 2 controllers went bad a little over a year. 5 months is insane for a $70 controller. It’s not user inflicted either, because my 17 year old daughter doesn’t beat on her controller…

My husband absolutely loved it for his gift. But he noticed that the power usb looked like it was used before. Why did you guys sell stuff that was used? Any explanations? Won't return because my husband likes it and refused to do that but now he thinks it is second handed even though I told him it was supposed to be new. I am not very happy about this.
