Asymmetrical sticks are best, especially when paired with removable batteries.

But I do like the idea of removable sticks...

Actually isn't that just your opinion or do you have scientific proof of that?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[TLZ]

Cool... But I'd rather they let us customise our own controllers. Something like Xbox design lab.

 

[nominedomine]

This is probably a way for them to charge more for back buttons.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Man i just want a smaller dualsense...

Now you'll get one with extra grips!

 

[begotten]

Who are these aimed at?

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Who are these aimed at?

Elite style controllers are all I use and have been begging for a PS one ever since Xbox released their first one.

Took me a long time getting used to back paddles but once you do its a major difference and you wont go back

 

[Zannegan]

Dammit. I wanted back buttons/paddles to be standard this gen. Both MS and Sony left them for the pro crowd, and I refuse to pay the upcharge for one feature alongside a bunch of extras that don't mean anything to me, especially with stick drift being rampant.

If they're not insultingly expensive, I'll grab one with my PS5 pro or slim, whenever that happens to be a thing one can buy without staking out a twitter feed.

I really thought when they released the back button attachment for the DS4 that this gen would have them standard

 

[Wohc]

Actually isn't that just your opinion or do you have scientific proof of that?

Both hands relaxed on XB controller = thumbs on analog stick + buttons
Both hands relaxed on PS controller = thumbs on d-pad + buttons

Relaxed is more enjoyable than stretchet out. So i would say it depends on the game what is better.

This.

Moving my thumb from right stick equals losing controllability. I've had 4 back buttons for the last 5 years and can't go back to a standard controller.

I modified my Dualsense with eXtremeRate Rise4 and they work really well - better than the Scuf and AIM controlles I've had.

 

[SoloKingRobert]

Trouble is it does not seem to have the mic mute/volume mixer like the playstation one does. Deal breaker for me, I use that so much in game and party chat.

I think majority of Xbox gamers uses Microsoft's Mute/volume attachments, or any 3rd party attachments.

I swear to god Jim Ryan lives to troll me

I started using the Astro C40 controller and while it only had 2 back buttons they were still super useful once you got used to them plus it has trigger stops

 

[Swift_Star]

That the universal stick placement though Nintendo stcks placement are the same
I think it finally time Sony do the same

Universal according to who? You all have to stop presenting opinions as facts.

 

[8BiTw0LF]

I have trigger stops on my Elite controller, but they still travel too far to be called trigger stops imo - they should be clickable like a mouse button

Kontrol Freeks are also an overseen addition to get better aim and control in general.

 

[Craig of War]

Acording to players

 

[Swift_Star]

Acording to players

Gonna need an official source for that.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Nice! The dual sense is probably my favourite controller ever created

 

[Craig of War]

Gonna need an official source for that.

Xbox use it Switch use it PC use it that 3/4 only Sony still using their stick placement wile everyone else used the offset sticks

 

[Swift_Star]

That's not an official source lol

 

[Craig of War]

That's not an official source lol

It basic Math though is adding to much for you to do lol

 

[Swift_Star]

It basic Math though is adding to much for you to do lol

Yeah, Jan, gonna need that source specifically saying "universal".
You can't provide it, can you?

 

[Craig of War]

When something is on more platform it become universal

 

[Swift_Star]

When something is on more platform it become universal

No, it's universal when everyone uses it.
Still waiting for that official source. You can't provide it, so take the L.

 

[Craig of War]

No, it's universal when everyone uses it.

Like i said when it the majority it become universal

 

[poppabk]

Aren't all 1st party controllers at this point

Yeah what the hell happened.

 

[Swift_Star]

Like i said when it the majority it become universal

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

I think majority of Xbox gamers uses Microsoft's Mute/volume attachments, or any 3rd party attachments.

The price of those has gone through the roof though. Would be nice to just have it built into controllers, especially when you're paying "pro" prices like this controller or Elite 2 for example.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Hope we see these in the rumored June showcase and my guess is about the 28th, looks like a good day

 

[Craig of War]

You know what i mean

 

[Draugoth]

Update:




Doesnt seem to be from Sony itself

 

[TrebleShot]

ehhhhh those monitors sound like trash.

 

[godhandiscen]

The dual sense is already the most pro/elite controller in the space. I have multiple Xbox Elite controllers, and they don't come close to the dual sense in terms of quality. My only issues with the dual sense come from the fact I am too used to the Xbox controllers, but the more comfortable I become with the dual sense, the less I like my Xbox controllers.

 

[Quantum253]

Are there any large advantages to owning a "pro" model controller outside of competitive play? I can understand if a Pro version would give you higher-end parts, which would correct stick drift or more responsive button feedback. It seems that these issues still remain even in pro-level controllers. I wouldn't mind trying a layout with back paddles or buttons, but the cost always stopped me from jumping in. A few years ago at PAX, I almost got a Scuf PS4 controller but $300 was too much just to try something out

The real advantage is you can feel how you're getting better at games, cause you don't lose controllability.

Nah... no thx.

 

[Woggleman]

Is this pretty much the PS version of the Elite Controllers?

 

[jaysius]

This.

That grippy part is fucking hot.

Was it hard to do? how are the paddles?

 

[DeepEnigma]

A buddy of mine swears by these. Not for every game, mainly shooters and the like. I still have yet to try them, always forget about getting them.

 

[MikeM]

Nah... no thx.

Monitors? So 1440p is coming?

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Was it hard to do? how are the paddles?

Not at all. Follow these steps:

 

[Fake]

Monitors? So 1440p is coming?

Maybe, but again we're talking about the controller. I would get if Sony made an official instead of rely in third parties.

And 1440p support should be via software.

 

[rofif]

Monitors? So 1440p is coming?

Nah. But these monitors all support 4k and downscale nowadays

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Get them cheap from Aliexpress - same quality as original Kontrol Freeks

 

[Quantum253]

I'll have to find a Scuf on the used market and give it a try. Maybe I'm missing something I never knew I was since I've only ever used a standard controller (whatever shipped with the system)

This is cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NTHL6NZ/?tag=neogaf0e-20

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

ehhhhh those monitors sound like trash.

4k 144hz HDR 600 doesn't sound like trash to me. In fact sounds just like the panel my LG uses and for a monitor its pretty kick ass

Monitors? So 1440p is coming?

I don't know why they are being so stubborn on rolling out support for this

 

[Evolved1]

Fucking finally. I'm hoping for 4 paddles, but won't complain too much if it's just 2. Just happy to have an official option. Have been so close to buying these overpriced alternatives.

 

[lh032]

Removable analog sticks?

errr so you dont have to buy a new controller? All you need to do is buy spare analog to counter stick drift....
