Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “What Sony’s $200 PS5 controller feels (and sounds) like”.
What could Sony possibly do to justify a 200 Gamepad? Quite a bit the Sony dual sense Edge. Lets you easily rip out its entire joystick modules. If they ever develop drift, you can swap out its stick. Tops for classic convex domes here are hair triggers with the flick of the switch you can remap practically every button in this controller, adjust vibration, strength, turn off system Keys. You might hit accidentally rear pedals, let you jump or duck or roll, or you name it without ever needing to take your thumb off the stick hold down.
One of these dedicated function keys and you can swap between three programmable profiles. You can take to a friend’s house or a tournament where you might also use this clever, USBC, locking, adapter and included 2.8 meter cable to avoid any Wireless interference, but the best part might be this. As far as I can tell, Sony didn’t fix what wasn’t broke here, the same size, the same shape, and it feels like the original Dual sense. Only better thanks to the extra texture on these triggers and these new rubber grips underneath still got the amazing adaptive triggers that, let you feel things like when your car’s tires are losing grip.
As long as the new hair triggers aren’t active, the buttons and d-pads and joysticks all feel practically identical, that could be the same part in a different color. Honestly and yes, I brought my own dual sense from home just to check. In fact, it’s not the only Gamepad I stepped into my backpack before driving to PlayStation’s US headquarters. I took a walk down memory lane with the Dualshock 4 and Dualshock 3, whipped out the Xbox 360 pad.
I still use with my PC and cursed out veren under my breath, for forgetting to bring his Xbox Elite Series too parent I’ll cut you, but I think the best comparisons are to the Dual Sims, where it just feels better. Even though I prefer the originals white buttons in Mad interior very similar, but just a little bit more deadened on the edge, it’s nice, if you want it to feel precise, less nice, if you want to feel very clicky shoulders, are almost identical triggers. I feel like this one’s giving me a little bit more like plasticky sound to it, but the fully extended pretty identical. Obviously, it’s very different when you activate hair trigger. I, like this texture, a lot, don’t tell anyone, but I totally think this Frankenstein set up with the domestic for movement and the concave are aiming is totally the way to go and, of course, there’s the scuff Pro where its owner Corsair actually worked with Sony to Replicate the Dual sense of shape Wireless connectivity and even firmware updates, but we’re just doesn’t feel as nice and isn’t this thing: Sony’s adaptive triggers and haptic feedback entirely, and I really don’t like the feel of the face buttons on this scuff compared to dual sense Edge. It’S got four panels back here. You can pull in and out as opposed to the two in the Dual sense Edge, but they do feel very plasticky compared to a nice big metal ones on the Xbox Elite and on the Dual sense Edge. Now then, there’s this PDP vivitrix Pro an awesome pen with five set points for its triggers stick modules.
You can rotate for more of an Xbox feel if you like, plus a six button module for fighting games, but you got ta use a dongle or a cable because it doesn’t natively connect to the PS5 wirelessly for 200 bucks. The Sony would be my pick every time, and yet I like even more if I’m gon, na pay, half the price of a new PlayStation for one thing, I’d like more battery instead of less Sony, tells us the Edge’s battery life is moderately shorter, quote unquote than The original Dual sense for more customization. I love that Sony allows you to pick from a whole bunch of different stick sensitivity, curves with helpful tips on which might suit your game. But while I enjoyed switching back and forth between shotgun and sniper setups with the flick of a function key and face button, I wish there was a way to set the outside depth Zone, not just the inner one.
You can remap single keys, but there’s no multi-key macros here and no way to add gyroscopic aiming to games that don’t natively support it. Perhaps I’ve been spoiled by my steam deck, where I had gyro aiming and turbo buttons to most games I play and while it’s awesome, you’ll be able to swap out busted analog sticks for just twenty dollars, a pop even fit an extra one in the slake bundled Case it’d be nice if Sony thought even further ahead, what about using magnetic hall effect sensor joysticks instead of these potentiometer ones, so they won’t succumb to drift. I suppose Sony could sell upgraded, stick modules in the future, but the company wouldn’t talk about any additional Parts.
In an interview, not even additional tops for the joysticks, but for now this is the ultimate PS5 controller, none of its competition or a dual sense, and not all of them have a direct wireless connection to your console. Those things automatically make the edge of front runner for anyone with the 200 to spend thanks for watching you might have noticed. I wasn’t on camera very much for this video long story.
Short, I’ve got into a bit of an accident and my jaw’s going to take some time to heal hope you still enjoyed the video see you next time. .
