Why not just use an even cheaper alternative? Well, the official DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers deepen the gaming experience, turning the L2 and R2 buttons into responsive tools. They dynamically adjust resistance to reflect in-game actions, like the increasing tension of pulling a bowstring or the slight recoil when firing a weapon. On PC, games like Returnal leverage this tech to make every shot feel distinct, while mobile users streaming PS5 titles can enjoy the same responsive feedback.
This controller’s a connectivity wizard, slipping seamlessly into any setup. Bluetooth 5.1 lets it seamlessly connect with Windows PCs, Macs, iPhones, or Androids without a hitch for wireless play, while the USB-C port locks in zero-lag performance for wired fans and keeps the battery juiced. That battery’s no slouch either, stretching up to 12 hours per charge, with a three-hour top-up via USB-C or the slick DualSense Charging Station if you splurge for it.
First things first: I bought this specifically for PC gaming; I do not own a PS. I had never used a gaming controller before that was not Nintendo (switch + wii), but I’m playing some games that are a little finicky with KBM. For the most part, I love this controller and have no issues with it. I personally play by connecting it to my laptop with a usb-c to usb-c cable. Not to mention the color is beautiful,” said one reviewer.
