The media could not be loaded. I'm pleasantly surprised with this controller, enough so to write this review :p Out of the box , I liked that the cable was so long because my only available USB's are in the back of my PC. I've always played with PlayStation controllers even on pc so the sticks being symmetrical was a big draw for me. I've tried a few traditional Xbox styles controllers but couldn't get used to the asymmetrical sticks. I am already into my third dual sense because of drift and heard that these Hall effect sticks might be better so going to give it a try. After playing for a few hours I realized that this controller doesn't have that sharp bottom edge that the ps5 one does. I used to keep my ps4 controller around because after about 1 hour, I have to switch from ps5 to ps4 controller because the ps5 one digs into my pinky Pros: *Buttons and feedback feels good *In-hand feel is great, higher quality material than I expected tbh *Weight is on point (heavier than ps4 controller and lighter than the duelsense ) *This controller has rumble! I didn't see it was mentioned as a feature but Im glad it has it. *works out of the box without any additional software *tested on my usual games with no issues and plug and play (Genshin, ZZZ, BPSR, WuWa) *I also tested it with AntiMicroX and it recognized the controller right away ( it's a free key-rebind app that I use because one of the mmo games I play needs some buttons to be controller mapped and some to be keyboard keys. so for example I was able to map the X button on this controller to the F key on my keyboard using antimicroX) Cons: *There's no gryoscope which I sometimes use, but it's not a dealbreaker *I have to get used the X,Y,A,B instead of square, circle etc. lol Although because the layout is so similar to what I'm used to, my muscle memory picks it up fine Other: * I probably won't use the programmable buttons in the back because I know I'll hit them by mistake, but it's cool that you can lock them * I haven't tried the second pair of sticks that it came with, but neat that that you can just plop them out and back in. Might try one and one for a while I uploaded some footage of me playing, I tend to button mash lol, but seems like this controller can take it. Overall I'm impressed with it and plan to keep using it. If you're someone who's used to playing on PlayStation and want something that works well for PC, I would say give this controller a try.

If you’re looking for a ps5 dualsense xbox controller this is the one! Not the most premium feeling controller but still feels solid. Performance is actually great, theoretically it has the lowest response time possible on Xbox with a 4ms response time and a 250hz polling rate. Don’t fall for the 1000hz polling rate and 1ms response time if you’re on Xbox because it doesn’t apply (Xbox is locked at 250hz/4ms). Back buttons are good and in a comfortable position, it’s super easy to remap the back buttons on the controller, sticks do feel buttery smooth as they say in the advertisement because the stick bases are metal and the controller has anti friction rings. All of the buttons are membrane but feel good. Hall effect modules aren’t as good as tmr sticks but still feels good and there doesn’t seem to be a baked in deadzone like a lot of other controllers with Hall effect sticks. Really the only thing that’s missing is an app/software for customization and trigger locks. But at $50 it’s absolutely worth it Read more
So after my elite series 2 started getting serious wear (rubber grips fell off) I needed a new controller and I wasn't willing to pay money for a new elite controller. After gaming with this controller for around 7-8 hours I have to say it's not bad at all its almost exactly like the PS5 controller in every way. So why the four stars you ask I'll say the controller has no rubber grips which is a downside for me I like rubber grips for those hard core gamers who game for a long time the controller tends to get slippery from hand sweat. But good thing is the plastic on the back is textured and provides some grip not as much as the actual rubber grips but it's something. Another thing is a pro and a con is the cord it's a wired controller so you won't be able to has the freedom as you will with a cordless one. With that being said the length is good it's a decent size so you won't have to worry. The controller definitely feels well made to my only complaint is the controller is a bit on the light side which I don't like. Maybe it's because I'm used to gaming with my elite series 2 that controller has some heft to it. The controller also has 2 programmable buttons on the back not 4 like other controllers but still ok they are kind of in the way when I game but you can lock the buttons so you won't accidentally press them. For those hardcore shooters you don't have trigger locks so that's a downside but it's not an issue for me since the current cods suck and battlefield isn't much of a hardcore shooter so it's fine for me. All in all I'm happy with my purchase since back in the day I preferred the PlayStation controller over the Xbox so this is a nice change of pace. And the controller comes with a one month gamepass code so it's good. I'd say if you need something cheap go for it it's a well made controller for gaming keep that in mind it's going to lack in those more competitive games Read more
