The shipping was fast, and the price wasn’t too terrible. But when it arrived I used it all of 8 hours and the left stick started to act up. I can do little band aid fixes to keep it from continuously drifting but over all just disappointed that I got the defective one of the bunch.

I bought my son a new PS5 11/2022 and here it is 4/2024 and he has already had to replace the controller TWICE!! He takes care of his things so ik it’s nothing he’s doing to break these controllers. For the price they should last WAY LONGER than 6-8 months!!!!

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

Amazing feel, very proud of the new controller concept. Feels more friendly towards people with bigger hands and still keeps the same sensation for people with small hands. controller did not come with a USB Type C and i was incredibly disappointed with that but whatever other then that amazing!

It’s getting ridiculous bought the controller then get and email saying it’s coming sooner waited all day just to get an email the end of the day saying sorry something went wrong we are refunding you your money in 5 business days like what is the point of saying you can drop it off sooner if you don’t have it ??

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.

my husband loves his controller, i thought it was going to be a slightly more red but its still a pretty cool color! we havent had any issues with buttons sticking like previous controllers which is a blessing. the speaker is decent and i like that we dont have to have a headset anymore.

It's a PS5 controller. I knew (mostly) what I was in for when I bought it. Color is fine, buttons are responsive and work,Machine recognized it right away. Controller does not ship with a charging cable. This and its price compared to other controllers make me not want to recommend it. -PROS- -If you need a genuine DualSense, this controller is for you. -CONS- -Price. These controllers are easily $20 more than an Xbox controller and $40 more than an 8bitdo. -Did not ship with a USB-C charging cable. That's kind of something you need for this thing to function. Also, Controller had less than one pip of battery to start. -I don't have a PS5 charging cable so it's charging S-L-O-W-L-Y with my non-branded USB cable, probably for one of my old phones or other devices.

Long time Xbox player that recently switched to the PS5. I thought the transition would be difficult but the controller’s intuitive. The force feedback on the triggers is a great feature and the touchpad makes it convenient to perform tasks like keyboard inputs. 5/5

This controller has become my new all-time favorite PS5 controller. The new crisp, smooth feel of the button pressing analog movement feels great to the hands. The color, though... the color is where it's at! Out of the white, black, and red controllers, this one wins hands down!
