Dualsense Edge battery size is significant smaller, capacity 1050mAh (down from 1560mAh of normal Dualsense)

PS5 needed for PS VR2 = at least $400 (DE)
PS VR2 = $550
PS VR2 game = $60
Total to play one game on PS VR2 = $1,010
I am not trying to bash on the PS VR2 or the dualsense edge. They are both great pieces of new tech (minus the bad battery life for the edge). I am simply saying Sony missed the mark on the price points.

Dualsense packs way more technology tho. I think every feature is more advanced than the Elite. The triggers, the motors, touch, mic, replaceable sticks…
I guess they coulda have a added a even slightly smaller swappable battery tho.

I think the elite series 2 is double the size and they claim 40 hours charge.
I may buy a bigger battery for the regular dualsense when it starts to last less than 2-3hrs. Installation is very simple.

Sorry, thought you already had a PS5.... like the majority of people will be buying PSVR 2. And if not then most (all?) people will be buying the PS5 for flat screen gaming as awell as VR, so the argument is silly. Does that mean the controller costs $700 also?

Horrendous. The dual sense battery life is already atrocious. Now they want 200 bucks for a “premium” controller with even less battery life? Whoever made this decision must me fired, immediately.

That's horrible. I just swapped out the factory battery on one of my controllers to one that lasts 12 hours. It's so much better now.

I dare someone to buy that thing be my guest that’s just an unforgivable price and battery life and you lose simplicity and you got to have a cord plugged in.

The battery life of the DualSense always comes up as criticism but personally I never had battery issues with any of my controllers. I play 4-5 hours, set them on the dock and they are ready to go when I want to play again. Considering the features it has I think the battery life is pretty OK and besides It's not like I'm having to buy batteries for them.

My Mom told me this last night when she tucked me in. She said "Son, there are two kinds of people in this life. There's vile people who can't afford the Dualsense Edge and their ugly nature forces them to complain about it online. Then there are beautiful pro gamers."
I had to go to bed early because my battery died but I never slept so well in my life. This controller is Gods gift to pro gamers everywhere.

So, after some use, the battery life could be longer, would have been great if it was since the controller is pretty nice; how that will affect you depends entirely on how you like to play games. If you find yourself playing for long hours, say more than 6-7 hours in a single session then you can probably skip, specially if it will end up being your sole controller.
It is fine for me due to how long I play in a single session but I wouldn't have complained if they had given us a longer battery life! Hopefully the next iteration will give us more time, because it really is a nice controller.

That's smart, when one dies in the middle of playing you can just swap to the other!I bought 2 and pretty damn happy with them, nice quality of life additions

Nahh I game in 2 different locations so I wanted at least one of these controllers in each so I am not packing one back and forthThat's smart, when one dies in the middle of playing you can just swap to the other!

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I absolutely love this controller. Thank you Sony. Very smart design, funcion buttons were genius, two paddle styles are both great. The trigger locks are so useful. As is the software and profiles. Such a huge upgrade.

5 hours 23 minutes is what I got out of my Edge (well, that is when the prompt was shown, I didn't completely drain the battery because I don't want to damage the cell).
I normally don't play such long sessions, but I was home from work and was curious to see what the battery life really was like after all the hype.
Not an huge issue for me. I normally charge my controller every second session (when you turn off the console you see the battery bar anyway, if it is low just connect it).
For the lulz I tried connecting the USB-C cable with the locking thingy, and I didn't find it annoying at all (thought I would).
The controller is really great otherwise. The triggers have these nice grippy textured surface on them and I think the movement on the triggers are a bit smoother. The buttons feel a bit different as well, more clicky I would say (biggest difference you'll notice on the share and options buttons).
Using the convex low profile joystick tops and I like them a lot.

We need an extended battery edition of the standard Playstation 5 controller.

Nope. Just Change the shitty battery on your own.

For $200 I shouldn't have to go through all that though, lol.

How is this thing so heavy with a tiny battery!!
edit: the braided cable is really long. I can't see a problem with the battery being an issue if I did a long session which only happens in Souls games.
