Amazing controller, no requirement to look for a "pro" controller anymore

Reviewed in Australia on 5 December 2020

The Dualshock 4 was a very good controller and it served Sony well, I always preferred the Xbox style controller so with the PS4 I ended up getting the Nacon Revolution controllers. But the new dualsense controller for the PS5 is amazing, it's kind of a half way between the Dualshock and a Xbox controller. But the new sensory features the controller brings games to life!

Just play the Astro Bot game that comes with the PS5 with this controller and you just have to marvel at what the Sony engineers have come up with. A fantastic controller with great features and makes gaming that little more enjoyable.

A nice paperweight

Reviewed in Australia on 13 November 2020

Without a console to use it with the controllers only useful purpose is as a paperweight. Thanks Sony for making the launch of the PS5 a major letdown (won't get the console until at least Monday at this point).

Pro controller without the price tag

Reviewed in Australia on 7 February 2021

Colour Name: WhiteVerified Purchase

Feels solid with a slight texture on the underside of the controller. Sony really improved the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.

Astro playroom, which comes free on the PS5, demonstrates all the features very well.

Just wish it came in different colours.

Edit: revising my review after my controller became faulty in under a month. It appears that joystick drift and loose triggers is a common problem with this controller. Hopefully Sony steps up the quality control and address these design flaws.

Great to play with, with some issues:

Why couldn't you include a charging cable? Or at least have two in the PS5 box.
The supplied PS5 charging cable has distinctive box square ends so finding one to match isn't an option short of getting an additional PS5.

When charging its hard to tell when charging is finished or the cord isn't connected as there are no lights when plugged in. My previous dock showed different colours for charging / full.

The lack of colours. You have two controllers one is charged and one isn't. Which one do i use?
The only way is to try it out and end up with a flat controller or read the serial number.

Other than the issues above, its got a nicer feel to the PS4 dual shock, somewhat textured.
The haptic feedback is only on two buttons which is a shame. It kind of feels like it wont last as long between charges to make the lack of colour worse.

Best demo of the haptic feedback in the game is in Astros Playroom. When in the monkey suit you do rock climbing in some of the later bits or in hidden areas some of the rock climbing holds break if held too hard. The player has to judge the weight put onto the holds just enough.

Would be nicer if this was a true haptic feedback as i believe there are only certain levels and certain resistance applied. A true haptic feedback would push against you rather than providing resistance only

bought the amazon warehouse option to save 15$. Received it same day which was nice but the controller is basically stuck on left input. for example if I try move to the right side in ps5 menu it just goes back to left as its stuck.

I love the ps5 controller but the triggers feel loose even with the improved strings, i hope that this is normal because i paid $100 for this product.

Seal was broken - not unopened

Reviewed in Australia on 5 January 2022

Colour Name: Midnight BlackVerified Purchase

Controller box was unsealed, had a round tape which had impressions underneath - clear signs of box having opened and the controller inside too was just wrapped and not taped or sealed. Not sure if this is a returned or refurbished piece
