It’s a great controller and the exchangeable sticks should mean it lasts for years.

I'd argue it's not a great controller if you have to keep changing the sticks because they are using crappy ones that still get stick drift. On a £200 controller, laughable.
 
Stick issues aside, the Edge also has dire battery life, if I had a choice I'd use the XBox Elite controller, I use that on my PC and it is brilliant (and the Elite 2 improves on it), shame it's not compatible with the PS5. Scuff Reflex might be an option, but it's pricey and you don't have the option of toggling the triggers between instant and adaptive. I mentioned the AIM Controllers earlier in the thread, but dang are they expensive......but you can customise them so much and they do have Hall Effect sticks if you want them.
 
Yes, the battery life on the standard dualsense is ****-poor. I still use it on my PC because I find it really comfortable, but if it ever develops stick drift I don't think I'd bother getting another one.

Especially not now I've experienced TMR sticks.

I love the DualSense, really comfortable and the haptics are great when done well.
Just wish it had replaceable rechargeable batteries ike Xbox though.

Astrobot really spoiled us by showing what they could do, and then 99% of games I played just had a bit of resistance on triggers for bows and guns etc. Criminally underutilized imo. Playing Astrobot on launch day is one of the very very few gaming memories I hold fondly in recent times, though I recognize a lot of that was the nostalgia from all the little collectibles and stuff, but still was a fun game.

Yeah, same happened with the HD rumble on Switch, few games really leaned into it and the rest just used bog standard vibration. Even Nintendo ignored it.

Astro's Playroom was fantastic, I loved it but what was even better was watching my girls really enjoy it, we've been having a blast with the new Astrobot too, my game of the year.
