DualSense Edge PS5 Pro Controller Review - The Most Premium, High-End Controller On The Market Today​


PlayStation Universe: "In our DualSense Edge controller review we discover that Sony absolutely sticks the landing with its first attempt at pro controller - deftly building upon the resoundingly sound foundation lain down by its now entry level DualSense controller."

Something that should not exists in consoles.
Fair playfield is a must but seems like Sony lose it mind since PS4 Pro.
Xbox elite pad gives you an advantage. And though I agree that there shouldn't be controllers that give you an advantage, that all went out of the window when some twat decided to allow M+K/B input on consoles.

The Xbox elite and Dual sense elite just try and re-level that playing field

Where it’s at.
Just buy a few spares to keep playing 🤯.
Or have a phone charger handy to where you sit to play. I have chargers for everything within arm's reach of my recliner, and if I don't feel like putting a control on the charger dock I have by my TV, I can just plug it in and keep going.

It's not like Sony controllers haven't always supported charging while in use...

This is not the point and I think we already had that argument.

If they would have said that they have a double or triple battery life I would probably have shelled the money just for that.

If they tripled the battery life, they'd double the weight. And then the whiners would bitch about how heavy it is.

Kids these days, they should do a couple of push ups when they get up in the morning that will fix their lack of strength.

how much it would be heavier? 20g? extra 500mah is like 10g. so 20-25g would double the battery life.
even small girls wouldn't cry over 20g heavier controller :D

So it turns out the Edge actually has a lower capacity battery than the base Dualsense.


The DualSense Edge includes a 1050 mAh battery, compared to the original DualSense’s 1,560 mAh battery, which itself was an increase on the PS4 DualShock 4’s 1,000 mAh battery.

Some folks are just looking to put the most negative spin possible on anything Playstation-related, regardless of what it is.

They probably wanted to stick to the same ballpark footprint while having all the modular options, so it makes sense that they couldn't fit a battery that's even the same size. It wouldn't be a concern for me, since I have a long USB-C cable behind my sofa to charge my dualsenses, but I can see the smaller battery life being a nuisance for some.

Don’t forget, DualSense has no back buttons, while the Edge does, so that’s even less space for the battery.

Have you seen the tear down pics? There’s a LOT less free space inside the Edge due to keeping the outer shell size the same as the original DualSense. Hard to get the same size battery into a compartment that’s half the size.

They could have made a small compromise to fit more battery in, or made it like apple where they have a strangely shaped battery that is spread out.

Either way, their design team could have made it work if that was a design goal.

They were definitely in a tough spot with the design. If they wanted to keep the same form factor, something had to give. And unfortunately its the battery size.

Can't say if it was the right decision as the 4-5 hour battery life seems to be one of the common negatives in almost all the reviews.
