Several photos of the DualSense controller were recently leaked online and one of those is the black version.
Here's an in-depth look at whether Microsoft took advantage of the PS5 DualSense controller's features with the Xbox games on PS5.
I’m going bed now so have only previewed this article but credit to James Lara at MP1st.com for such a unique and in depth investigation! From comparing the audio captured from the controllers’ vibrations to determining the in-game source of vibration and its effect in Hi-Fi Rush, this seems like a scientific approach has been taken. Wow. Man must really cares about the topic, I gotta respect that passion. 🫡
i love how this is so indepth only to say "well yes, but mostly no"
haha xD good article tho
Beta starts today for invited participants in select countries.
As the new year kicks into high gear with an amazing slate of PS5 game releases like The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Tekken 8 and Helldivers 2, along with FINAL FANTASY VII Rebirth later this month,SIE are pleased to roll out another PS5 system software beta today with a number of quality-of-life enhancements and new features.
Listing for the DualSense V2 spotted over on Best Buy. Featuring improved battery life over its predecessor, the DualSense V2 could become a must-have PS5 accessory for those looking to stay wireless while gaming.
I have the Cobalt Blue controller and it lasts twice as long as my launch white controller did out of the box already.
Yeah I got the black controller and it's been way better than my launch ones also. I had to return my launch one cause of stick drift and the replacement had the springs snap in the L2 trigger then that replacement got drift again then I finally tried the black controller it's been flawless so happy with it
My original didn't last a year before stick drift took over. (edit: actually, don't think it made it 6 months since I first experienced the drift in AC which I started playing around January after the PS5 launch). I bought the black one as soon as it came out. Now it doesn't last a day's worth of gaming.
never had a problem with the battery life or stick drift good to know that they improved it.
This is the 1st controller I've had stick issues with unfortunately, took it apart and cleaned it even though it already looked clean, but the drift came back after couple days. Kinda bummed about it honestly cause I take good care of my stuff
Same fella, never had a problem with previous gens but this one I'm on my 3rd already and I take very good care of my controllers and tech in general.
I've put it down to GT7 and rocket league 😂🤣
Same I'm on my 4th since launch 2 with drift and 1 with the springs snap off if the trigger all warranty replacements but it's still annoying.
This is the only generation I've had an issue since the duelshock on PlayStation 1,2,34 PSP vita in fact all of those are still going strong and I've not even had drift with the switch joycon which was apparently common.
I definitely feel the launch whit controller was a lesser build quality perhaps rushed to meet launch date while the coloured revisions are better quality they have thicker trigger springs at minimum.
When I called it out in here that I was a bit disappointed I had three break I was called a liar
Same here, even my replacement controller for the one with stick drift got stick drift. Third times the charm though, haven’t had issues yet.
I’m also extremely OCD careful with my stuff. Making sure dust doesn’t get in the hardware, keeping things clean, not being rough on the controller. I’ve just never had the stick drift issue until these PS5 controllers.
Replies(1)After 6 hours of gaming I'm normally walking the dog, or making something to eat or take a break and listen to a podcast while battery charging.
Had a couple of drifts though
The early gen controllers almost universally go wonky. all three of mine did (two white, one black). Every controller made since they released the galaxy series of colors has revised internals. The SKUs changed accordingly. The fact that they are actually calling this new one "V2" makes me think it's a pretty big overhaul because they've already quietly made changes to these.
I was thinking all it really needs is a battery upgrade and there ya have it. Hall effect sensors would be great too but this is a good upgrade.
Me either and I think it wont solve the issue cause some people will still B* about it or something
I got the drift on my launch controllers. I dont play games long enough in one session for the battery to be an issue. I usually charge my controllers once every 3 days.
Same it's not amazing but I've never one been stuck unable to play. Drift is a far bigger problem
I have no problem with battery life, but what I would have liked on this new version would be back buttons/paddles.
They have the Edge for that. Or you could go the cheap way and install an extremerate, it's easy and nice.
The Edge is not worth the price if all I want is the back buttons, all the other bells and whistles the Edge can do I’m not interested in.
The PS4 back buttons were a very inexpensive solution that could have been added to the DS
The Black version will come with white buttons? Just ... why?
Why can't it be all murdered out?
Wait ... how's the black console gonna look? 😦
Can't wait to start collecting the various themed and color alternatives.
They look really odd with those white buttons.
Oof dem face buttons. They should just go back to the classic black buttons with the pink, green, red, and blue symbols.
Yeeeeaaaaah, you're gonna have to change those face buttons, that would be great.
