When playing PS4 games on PS5, what controller do you tend to use?

DualSense, I like it more.
But also my DS4 was old, the sticks didn't feel so good anymore.

Didn't really think of that, though makes sense. I have the backpedals for Dualshock 4, but only really use them for Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1 & 2.

DS4 whenever possible. The DualSense is a major step down in comfort, buttons/dpad, and battery life. When all else is equal, I’ll buy a PS4 version of a game over the PS5 one just so I can use the better controller.

One of the best accessories ever made. I wish they would release another one that could attach and is compatible to the DualSense and Edge somehow so that anyone who wants to add 2 to either model can.

Am I the only person here that didn't know you could use the Dual Shock 4 when playing PS4 games on PS5?

DualSense, nothing wrong with using the PS5 controller. I can't go back to the DualShock after using the Sense, feels weird to hold.

Apparently, this is the first I heard of it... I had no idea. I got rid of most my ps4 gamepads...

Not the original poster, but those look like extremerate.com. I got some for my Dual Shock 4. I haven't upgraded my Dual Sense yet.

Dualsense, I would legitimately use it on every game in the world if I could.

Yup, Extremerate back button kits.
They've got a plethora of colors & textures for the bottom covers, options for plastic or metal paddles, and 2 buttons or 4 buttons.
You just need some basic ability in handling a screwdriver and soldering iron.
Frankly the hardest part for me was opening up the DualSense for the first time since the hidden clips need a bit of force:

I think the DualSense is a lot better, and no way I would go out or my way switching controllers back and forth all the time.
Also, I can't stand devices without USB-C input anymore. I want to be able to just plug the same charger/cable into everything in my flat.

I agree regarding the ergonomics. For me the Dualsense is the second my uncomfortable controller I’ve used (second to the Dreamcast controller). Terrible ergonomic design for my hands and it causes a lot of discomfit for me. And there’s no third party option that can truly replace it because none of the 3rd party controllers have the haptics or adaptive triggers.

DS4 as often as possible. Even with iPhone playing Sky:COTL.
I have 3 DS4 and 2 DS with original charging stands for both. Inside my TV bench I have the DS4 stand placed in front and DS stand BEHIND it.
Can’t place them side to size ’cause my glorious PS3 superslim with plastic grill takes up the space to the left
That shows how much I like the DualSense
I think I even disconnected the charging stands charging cable. Still good to keep them in one place.
DualShock 4 support for PS5 games NOW PLEASE!

And while you're in there, drop in a bigger battery. The metal paddles are nice but add too much weight. Especially if you're upgrading the battery

It’s much cheaper to get used DS4 in good condition too. I got drift on one or two now but fixed it on one. I bought two used ones including charging stand in new condition and sold one to my friend believing they would prefer it, but I’m not sure they do. I’m seriously thinking of saving up on more DS4’s.
The V2-V3 ones has great quality.
And the color options is vastly superior.
I have Black, Charcoal Black and the Midnight Blue DS4 and they all look so damn good!!

The dualsense has an absolute dog shit d-pad. Way too stiff. DS4 had a much much better d-pad which makes it far more desirable for me for play ps4 2D games and fighters. Wish hori were able to make their controllers wireless on the ps5. How the fuck did the Xbox end up with the best d-pad this gen? Dualsense stiff d-pad and the Switch you either got buttons for a d-pad on the joy cons or a d-pad that doesn’t pivot on anything on the pro controller. Although with the Switch you can use 3rd party wireless controllers with better d-pads.

Lol, I was about to buy a second one now but thought it’s better having different colors. But Midnight Blue and Charcoal Grey looks so insanely much better than the available DualSense colors so far. It’s nice though how the black Sense has a bit of blue in it (only visible if you look at it in plenty of light) which reminds me of that limited edition transpareny deep dark blue PS4 Pro.
