PS5 DualSense Edge Controller Is PlayStation's Take On The Xbox Elite

@WWEKane1515: I am sure they will but it still probably won't match the 40 hour rechargeable battery life of the Xbox Elite Series 2 controllers because of the extra features that PS Dual Sense controllers have that drain it so fast.

@firedrakes: Maybe not for you, but It comes in handy when I'm using my PC on the big screen.

@gotrekfabian: What makes you think it ever left? lol

@USDevilDog: Observers have mentioned that Xbox Series controllers now have better dpads than those from Playstation patterned from the award winning versions of the Xbox Elite Series controllers. Playstation even adopted the larger form factor of the Xbox One controllers for the Dual Sense because their own study demonstrated that gamers prefer it over the flimsy Dual Shock 4.

@Abdulrahman1981: Supposedly, all 9th gen controllers will be going over to mag sensors before too long, if not already. Not sure on this elite controller, nor switch. If you have any issues at all, both 9th gen consoles have increased their warranties on the controllers for just about any issues. Just contact support, mail it in $6-7, and they mail it back for free - less then a couple of weeks. Even previously owned/ used controllers. Also same with 8th gen controllers for Sony, do not know about xbox.

So far, both of my 9th gen consoles have had no drifts on their controllers during heavy use. I know the problem will eventually hit all controllers over time. So far the industry reports a small %, but we all know it will drift will happen now or years from now. https://www.ign.com/articles/the-real-science-behind-controller-drift

@GalvatronType_R: Copying is a good thing; it's how progress happens. Take someone's idea and build upon it. Microsoft copied SCUFs idea but greatly enhanced it, now Sony is copying Microsoft as the demand for more buttons is growing. Next gen should have had more buttons to begin with. Controllers haven't changed much since the 1990s, still the same number of buttons even though games are a lot more complex.

@GalvatronType_R: Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery as they say. Sony likes to do that. They adapted Microsoft XBL online subscription a few years ago after noticing how much better Xbox's online service is over Playstation.

They started releasing their exclusives on PCs again after seeing how MS doubled the revenue they make on their first party games by releasing on another platform.

And they tried to copy Microsoft's runaway industry winning Gamepass subscription by releasing the PS+ Extra/Premium subs and still can't keep up.

So why should gamepads be any different with Sony releasing a version of Xbox's Premium Elite Series controllers after seeing how profitable it has become since it was first released..

@GalvatronType_R: wouldn't be surprised heck Xbox wants you to go buy their rechargeable battery after paying a premium to purchase the controller 🤷

@ceelogreen94: You know what they say. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

However MS has also dropped hints that they will soon be releasing their third iteration of the series the Xbox Elite Series 3 and I am sure it will have new features that would make it better than the Elite Series 2 making it again as PC Gamer mentioned in their article the best controller in gaming.

@ceelogreen94: they always copy from each other

@ceelogreen94: I mean pro controllers aren't something I'd call a cornered market
