The greatest of all time of all time?

Burned OP.

RIP in peace.

it is indeed the best controller right now.

I would prefer the grip and the asymmetric sticks of the Xbox controller, no need for a trackpad or speaker.

 

[DeVeAn]

I just can't agree even if I wanted to. Battery life sucks. Dpad sucks like the PSP and they are glossy yuck. The trigger thing is cool for 5 mins then its annoying. The ergonomics feel off ever so slight. Dualshock 4 was better IMO.

The Switch Pro 2 fixes my main issue which was the dpad was awful. Damn near perfect.

 

[Kvally]

Nothing wrong with opinions, that is for sure. My DualSense Edge is pretty decent.

 

[Jigsaah]

I prefer the DS4 if we aren't considering the haptics. I have a strange issue where my thumbs interfere with one another when using the sticks. Still the Dpad is probably the best I've ever used and that makes it fantastic for fighting games. I dunno what Xbox is smoking with their Dpad....even on the elite where you can switch it out. Every D-pad is trash for fighting games.

 

[WhamBamThankYouMaam]

Inhavr the ps5 and xbox x, and damned if I don't prefer the dualsense.

If not for stick drift, it would indeed be my GOAT. Now it's the Greatest For Now. All the next dual sense needs to do is switch to hall effect and we will have perfection. I'm sure they would refine the adaptive triggers and haptics even more, but god damn, everything else feels so backward in comparison.

I have beefy man hands and even the dualsense feels too bulky for me. DS4 was just right. Those adaptive triggers piss me off and i dont think i can get used to them.

 

[nkarafo]

Worst ergonomics of them all. Nice face buttons, though.

LUL no. The retarded analogs placement is a big no for massive hands

It's a fantastic controller, I don't get why this triggers so many people.

They never bothered to design a proper dual analog controller, actually made for two analog sticks. They just slapped the sticks on the original PS1 pad and called it a day. And its the same design ever since.

A lot of people got used to it somehow. I personally never could, even though i had a PS2 during it's whole lifespan. The og XBOX controller (the smaller one not the tanky original) quickly became my second nature after i played with it day 1.

 

[IntentionalPun]

I like the haptics but not the triggers. Damn things just break endlessly for me. Ended up turning off the adaptive triggers at the system level.

 

[nordique]

Overall I like the controller and at its launch I felt it was the best.

But since then I've gone back to DualShock 4, the current Xbox controller, and now switch 2 pro controller and they all have their pros and cons

I found I prefer the handles of DualShock 4 ans the switch 2 pro controller more, and the ergonomics of the Xbox controller more. I like the dual sense though. It's up there and a top tier controller for sure. I like the d pad vs prior PlayStation d pads, texture on the sticks and the haptics

 

[R6Rider]

I love it.

Unfortunatly, almost no devs do a good adaptive trigger implementation in a way that make them feel good. GT7 has to me the best implementation to the point i play better with them on. Ratched Rift Apart also had a nice implementation by making the trigger show resistance half way to use one type of ammo, and full press to the segundary attack. But for majority of the games, especially if thers shooting involved, they do a terrible implementation and i also end up turning them off for those games.
