DualSense Edge is more expensive and missing a lot of the features HYPR has.

DualSense Edge is 180€ too expensive.

Does it have a half-way acceptable battery life?

Standard DualSense battery - so better than Edge.

Does it have the dual sense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers? I recall most PS5 clones don’t.

So no, then.

Not having the symbols on the buttons is a deal breaker for me. I would have this over that garbage DaulSense Edge though.

I very much doubt the build quality on these aftermarket mass produced modified controllers.

Will consider one of these with Hall effect sticks should I ever experience stick drift. Haven't so far on the four I do have.

Really? I dig it, it's not like us pro gamers need to looks at the buttons. Just paint the symbols on with your little brother's nail polish

You can customize it the way you want it.
Gamer Heaven rates them high quality and best value - and he has tested over 200 controllers.

I don't like plain buttons. I'm not bodging symbols on to an expensive controller.

I think you can get vinyl stickers to replicate the buttons but yeah it's kind of a tacky solution for a premium product.

No it doesn't. It has replaceable standard sticks, not hall effect sticks. Assuming you meant the sticks, seeing as I've not heard of hall effect triggers. The trigger stops on the Edge kind of suck as well, if those are what you were talking about. They're not a click, and they still have too much travel. The d-pad also isn't improved in the slightest over the standard pad, which is worse than the PS4 controller, IMO.
The instant mid-game profile changing and the built in volume and party balance features are pretty great on the Edge, though. There are definitely pros and cons to any of the PS5 pro controller options.

Yes it does have Hall Effect for the triggers.

Well then they put the tech in the wrong place. I've never heard of trigger drift, but I've heard about a lot of people having issues with stick drift.

Many reports of the DualSense triggers being poorly designed and breaking.
LegendOfKage
Member
Not sure why hall effects would make them more durable. Breaking yes, but not drifting. At least I don't think so, but I could be mistaken.

Played 100h with a Beloader Besavior PS5 Controller which has 4 back buttons and is programmable. Can´t complain.

The original dualsense has imaginary huge stick shift issues. I never seen anyone with the issue yet in real life though lol. There’s no widespread issue there and it’s stupid to buy a super expensive controller because of a non existing problem. If you even get this issue buy a new cheap standard controller, it’s much cheaper and they last forever with normal handling/play.
The joy cons, now those are terrible, but standard Sony and MS controllers are perfectly fine. The MS one is super noisy though

Not for competitive play. Having 0% deadzone (Hall Effect sticks), mechanical triggers/bumpers and 4 back buttons is a huge advantage.
Sure, the sticks will get loose at some point, but my 24 year old Dreamcast controller still works fine and has zero drift issues.

I'm a competitive player and I usually go from 5% deadzone to 10% deadzone within a year of using a (potentiometer) controller for 1500 hours. With Hall Effect sticks I can be on 0% deadzone for many many years.

Almost every game worth a damn has deadzone settings too, so unless you got one of the tiny fraction of expected defective controllers (iirc something like 3% is considered acceptable in electronics manufacturing) you aren't going to have drift issues for a long time.The original dualsense has imaginary huge stick shift issues.

Triggers that support Force Feedback and Hall Effect is a huge convenience
As is being able to remove the thumb sticks and eventually buy Hall Effect sticks.

Mechanical triggers are only good for responsive input (1mm travel). If you want to play driving games, force feedback and analog triggers are a must.Triggers that support Force Feedback and Hall Effect is a huge convenience

Hall Effect sticks are a one-time installation - you'll never have to buy another pair. Only 2 back buttons is a deal breaker for me - I've been using 4 since 2017 and can never go back.
Saying one is better than the other is like comparing oranges to apples. Edge is better for games that need analog triggers, HYPR is better for everything else.

You can buy hall effect replacement sticks for PS4/PS5 and Xbox controllers on Aliexpress.

I expect nothing. I just answered his question for a mod of the original controllers.

Yeah I saw that video after I looked to see if there were any mods when this thread popped up.
I had a spark of hope that faded after watching.
I see there are some claiming to be hall sticks on aliexpress, but truthfully I don't trust buying direct from China on something that hasn't been established else where yet.
I did find these on Amazon:
Amazon.com: 2 x Analog Stick Drift Fix Mod Handle Rocker Adjusting Plate Game Handle Joystick Drift Repair Board for PS4 PS5 Xbox One Xbox Series X S Controller (Black) : Video Games
Shop Amazon for 2 x Analog Stick Drift Fix Mod Handle Rocker Adjusting Plate Game Handle Joystick Drift Repair Board for PS4 PS5 Xbox One Xbox Series X S Controller (Black) and find millions of items, delivered faster than ever.

But it seems like more a temp fix. Hoping some hall sticks mods will show up soon before I have a need to buy another controller.

GuliKit said they'd make some, but that was in january and they've made a new King Kong controller since - and seems like they don't give a fuck about PlayStation when I asked last week if it would support PS5. Either that or Sony patented those modules so they're the only ones who can produce them.
