Probably, but it only affects the thumbs and only after gaming for 2 or 3 days I start feeling it, then I need to stop for a few days before I get another 2 or 3 days of gaming.
If I'm playing something that doesn't require L3/R3 or quick movements I don't have restrictions (moving the sticks too much and fast for long periods can also trigger it).
Edit: Just ordered one via PlayStation direct (for the 5% discount)

I was never planning on spending like 200 bucks on a controller, but when my DS died I weighed my options. The controller had a discount, and I had vouchers from my work. It was still 140 ish, but I have to say I love it to bits. The paddles are awesome, I have a racing and FPS profile and I made one for Warframe. And generally I bind L3 and R3 to them to limit strain on the sticks. I like the fact I can change the thumbsticks to PS3 style, or a mix of both. Shorten the throw on triggers works well for a lot of games too.
Its also possible to replace the analog modules entirely, those _should_ retail for 20-25 bucks which is far cheaper than having to buy a new DS. Though, at the price of this thing you might be able to buy 3 regular controllers.
Now, I don't like the build quality of todays analogs and I think hall effect would've been better, but its sadly the hand we've been dealt. Another thing I don't like is the battery life, which was already an issue with the regular DS.

Got this button to get a run button in Elden Ring that doesn't require the claw grip. Loving it so far.
Would be interested in other ways to set it up for Elden Ring, Nightreign and CoD

Is the best controller I've ever owned that's for sure. A little expensive but I love it.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
My Souls/Elden Ring set up is ridiculous, but honed after hundreds of hours. I hate lock on systems, and in Souls games, use them as a last resort. After remapping everything though, I have full control of the camera at all times, and can freely sprint / attack while never having to lose camera control. I literally could not, or would not, play with a default config ever again. I'll post a screen grab later. But it's a combination of remapping through the software and in-game remappping. For example, I have parry on R3. Which, is probably weird for most people, but second nature for me now. I think it's faster too.

Would you guys say that the Edge is worth it for a non-competitive gamer? I dont play online at all. Just love single player games. Was thinking about upgrading with the BF deals going on.

I have the Edge, but went back to the standard controller (I am a casual). The battery life in the Edge is horrid.

Thanks. Good to know. Maybe I will just look for a limited edition standard controller then.

How bad is the battery in a real use case, really?

I literally wouldn't own a controller without back buttons at this point. Not having to take your thumb off the sticks to hit a face button is worth it alone. I wish it has four back buttons like my Elite, but two is still better than none. I can't believe consoles still ship without them as default.
Depends on the game, but it can go as low as 3 hours on PS5. They last longer on PC because support for it sucks. Battery life in general is bad, though, which is why I have three I rotate in and out.

3 hours... wow. I'd be fine with 5 but that's crazy. I guess it shouldn't be that big a deal for me since I want one for PC and it needs to be wired to use all of its features cause devs are lazy with their PC ports. Still, I'm not sure if I want to dump so much money on the Edge since I already have a modded Dualsense.

Honestly if you plan to mainly use it on PC then I wouldn't even get it.
Most games won't support the features, so you might as well go another route for cheaper options that offer better value for your use.

Those haptics for the games that support it feel really good though. I first played Tsushima with an 8bitdo then trying it with a dualsense made me go wow. Same for Cyberpunk.
But yeah, I'm mostly waiting for the Steam controller st this point.

I've found the back paddles and the trigger locks to be useful in some of the single player games that I play but like people have said the battery life is awful. The usefulness of the controller will depend on the types of single player games you play.

It's very bad. So much so that I decided to buy a second one so I can always have a second one charged up once the one I'm using dies.
