I'm still holding out for purple, but these do look great!

darthv721116d ago

Oh i bet they have a slew of colors and themes planned. Cant wait to start adding these on consolevariations.com

Popsicle1116d ago

Been waiting to pick up a 2nd controller in hopes of a black model. Very happy to see this!

DaGR8JIBRALTAR1115d ago

We need official Sony plates now!

Teflon021116d ago

The slight blue tint on the under half of the black looks crazy good

Tres211115d ago

The last week I been going to target looking at it and even was going to just get the decals but I was like im gonna wait just a lil longer and it paid off specially that red 1.

Hope these controllers will have better battery life. It seems my current controller's battery life is shorter than PS4's controllers

Toiletsteak1116d ago

You must have a faulty controller

MaximusPrime_1116d ago

Yeah I just realised that after posted. I checked with my brother and his controller is ok. Oh well, I guess I'd get that black controller then

DaveZero1115d ago

Alot of people have faulty controller.

Jin_Sakai1116d ago (Edited 1116d ago )

I knew it wouldn’t be long before someone come in and derailed the comment section.

On topic: Love the black but that shade of red is amazing!

Darkborn1116d ago (Edited 1116d ago )

Both of my controllers I use all day, sometimes 2 days of gaming 4-5 hours each day and watching Netflix and stuff and they still have a bar or so of juice. And I play stuff like demons souls, and games ps5 games that usually have duelsense features enabled. I would easily say I get at least 8-10 hours or more for both of my controllers.

Teflon021116d ago

Yeah I know I've yet to have it die on a full day session so I'd say maybe 10 to 12 is definitely on normal use. Probably 8-10 on games that properly utilize the control

Zhipp1115d ago

Is 8-10hrs good? I could swear that's barely better than what I get with my DS4. I was hoping Dualsense would be hitting that sweet spot of ~20hrs.

StoneyYoshi1116d ago

I would report that for a warranty replacement if it doesn't last longer than the DS4.

TheExecutioner1116d ago

Cosmetics doesn’t have to do something with battery life even if you controller is faulty

Orchard1115d ago (Edited 1115d ago )

You can probably still return it under warranty - don't sit with a broken controller and go out and buy a new one!

I get it if you want a new color, but then you at least have a 2nd fully functioning white controller for backup / coop etc.

Also 49+ downvotes for having a broken controller? Geez.

SullysCigar1115d ago

No, the disagrees were because he thought it was normal for the DualSense to last less time than the PS4 controller, which isn't the case at all.

He's since realised that's not usual and all is cool. No big deal lol

hiawa231115d ago

I agree as my controller battery doesn't last long either.

Tres211115d ago

I might have to look into if mine is a default then also I thought it had more to do with the lights and mic but that was the biggest reason I wanted a 2nd controller so I could let one charge cause I can't go a full day with out it dying or showing low battery

REDGUM1115d ago

In response to you're 2nd comment, you should be able to swap the controller with Sony as it sounds defective. 1yr min warranty on all electrical items. Maybe if you hold onto it till the new ones arrive you might be able to choose a colour?

Nyxus1116d ago

Man that black one looks nice...

ScootaKuH1116d ago

Yup. I need a second controller so this will do the job nicely

mania5681116d ago

both colors look great, i need to pick a second controller but i want both of them...

zsquaresoff1116d ago

That midnight black will look nice sitting next to the og white DS.

Sniperwithacause1116d ago

They both look real nice. I went ahead and preorder the red one. $80 after taxes. At least being a PS+ member I got free shipping.

Nicknasty1115d ago

Same here, free release day shipping. Also went with the red, too nice looking to pass up. Glad I held out for a 2nd controller. These controllers could wind up being hard to get.

This guy wrote a whole dissertation.

VenomUK5d ago

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. 🫡

anast5d ago

I thought you were joking, then I clicked to read it.

anast5d ago

Xbox on PSN took a minute to get used to.

Phoenix0295d ago

I have the Cobalt Blue controller and it lasts twice as long as my launch white controller did out of the box already.

Profchaos141d ago

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

dumahim140d ago (Edited 140d ago )

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.

FPSRUSSIA143d ago

never had a problem with the battery life or stick drift good to know that they improved it.

isarai142d ago

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

EvertonFC141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

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 😂🤣

Profchaos141d ago (Edited 141d ago )

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

CrimsonWing69141d ago

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.

EvertonFC141d ago

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

frostypants140d ago (Edited 140d ago )

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.

GoodGuy09143d ago

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.

darthv72142d ago

i didn't think battery life was much of an issue. Stick drift though....

blackblades141d ago

Me either and I think it wont solve the issue cause some people will still B* about it or something

CobraKai141d ago

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.

Profchaos141d ago

Same it's not amazing but I've never one been stuck unable to play. Drift is a far bigger problem

Abnor_Mal141d ago

I have no problem with battery life, but what I would have liked on this new version would be back buttons/paddles.

BlackDoomAx141d ago

They have the Edge for that. Or you could go the cheap way and install an extremerate, it's easy and nice.

Abnor_Mal140d ago

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
