I was pretty excited but this thing gets worse every time I see it.

Based on previews seems to be top tier apart from battery.
Not sure what's 'worse'.
Day 1.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Just waiting for the mailman. Whole list of PS5 games I've been waiting to play until I had proper paddles.
Also, pretty excited about the analog settings at the system level... might be possible to fix some games I find otherwise unplayable. Like all the earlier Far Cry games are absolute garbage with major input lag and weird ass input curves. MAYBE this could make those somewhat playable. We'll see.

Can't wait hoping to see my order change from preparing to ship to shipped very soon

I wasn't interested from the start, mainly because the controller only has two pedals and the battery capacity is even worse than that of the Dualsense.
The only thing that interests me about the controller is whether the battery is the same size as the Dualsense and whether it is possible to install a more powerful battery in terms of space.
Whereby if we add the replacement battery, we are at a price of around €255. What an absolutely ridiculous price for what is offered.

Damn. The obsession with gloss black especially in the car indusrtry makes my sick. The product looks fresh for the first 5 minutes and that's assuming it was already kept in a dust-free environment.

I'm in the opposite boat. I wasn't that interested and every time I see it, I want it a little bit more. I am going to wait for real reviews once it is out in the wild to decide if I am going to get one.

I could ask the same question about the battery life.

So instead of including Hall effects sensors in the thumbsticks they just decided to lean into the fact that their normal switches are crap that will break and sell replacements for 20 bucks? I guess it's better than having to spend $200 to buy a whole new controller, but still, monetizing the thing they know is most likely to break is kinda meh.
I would probably buy one in purple, tbh.

Why shiny black
Sony please stop
Surprised there wasn't an all black one released cause that's the one I want.

I'll be surprised if Sony don't rollout the same colours for the dualsense edge as they have done for the standard dualsense controllers at some point. I might bite for a Galactic Purple one.

In my experience on the Series X with the Elite Controller, you can’t overcome bad controls just mitigate them to a degree. Being able to mess with deadzones at the system level does wonders to help with lag but it can only do so much.

Personally I think the default dual sense feels a bit more premium than the default Xbox controller so the difference between the default and pro controller is probably less than the difference between the Xbox default and pro controller which is why I’ll be skipping this as I only use my Xbox elite on my pc anyway.

I liked that he had the gloves on but proceeded to just sort of grab the controller and rip the paper away that was covering it.

For that kind of money things have to be improved and I'm not sure what that would be. Battery is worse but honestly I don't really care about that but besides exchangeable sticks I just don't see it.

Yeah, honestly I’m more curious than optimistic. But maybe it will help in some cases. Definitely want to try it out at least.

If you're confident on opening the dualsense you can buy third party ones

Question from the ignorant: Is this doing anything to combat drift? Or, is it going to eventually become a 200 dollar controller that moves on it's own?
I was thinking maybe they could make the sticks modular, so you can just pop them out and put some new ones in, after drift sets in.

Yes the sticks are modular and can be replaced for $20
My hope is someone makes a hall module even if they are a little pricier

Triggered in a good way. This finally means we can target the part that causes the drift by removing and replacing it without the pain of opening up the controller.

That the battery life is worse than the already woeful capacity in the launch controller is mind-blowing to me.
That and the price tag killed any interest I had.

A lot of unnecessary extras like a carrying case. A cheaper "core" version like what Microsoft is offering would be nice at some point.
Don't you want an excuse to wear black gloves while playing?
Glossy black on a controller?

Going to look like ass in no time, I wish Sony would stop using that kind of plastic on everything

You can replace the modules. THAT'S why I'm buying 2 EDGE Controllers. No need to ever fully replace them again.
Just buy another module & a pair of analogs.

I may get this. I am just waiting on some GAF impressions and I'll send that cart into shipping mode.

Remember: Sony knows that the controllers have huge stick drift issues and their "solution" to this problem is to sell you replaceable analogue sticks.

My 2 DS don't suffer from this yet, this is mainly a problem on Nintendo Switch these days & not PlayStation or Xbox.

Made a crappy phPBB forum once ... once.
Whilst I like it, it seriously isn't for me.

I'm currently on my 4th dualsense. They all developed stick drift within a few weeks/months. Why would sony offer replaceable stick modules anyway if they don't break? I'm waiting for GuliKit to show a hall sensor controller for Playstation/Xbox.

Hate that Sony love gloss. OG PS3, OG PS4, PS5 and now the Dualsense Pro. They must think it looks premium compared to matte? In reality it looks cheap as shit. Luckily the console revisions always drop it.Glossy black on a controller?

That's insane.
All My friends & me with DS or Xbox controllers & non issue.
Dualshock 4 every single one developed that.
