1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,920
in my opinion the Dual sense is the best

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:11,360
first party controller that's ever been made so what if I told you there was a

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,040
better version of it this is the Dual

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:20,320
sense Edge this is Sony's answer to Xbox's Elite controller which is proven

5
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:22,279
to be a pretty sweet option this is the

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,800
the best of the best that Sony has to offer currently and it comes in this

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:32,520
nice little cardboard box oh what else is in here paper cool paper

8
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:37,680
the controller comes in this nice little travel case I think that's a great idea

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:41,160
if you are fancy and you have a dual sense Edge you're going to want to carry

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:45,120
that around show off to your friends that being said I don't know how often

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:49,680
I'm going anywhere to play console games anymore split screen multiplayer is not

12
00:00:47,239 --> 00:00:55,160
really a thing but when it is you can do so in style on the top we have this 2.8

13
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:58,160
M long braided cable it has a feature that's part of this controller's most

14
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:02,280
compelling use case to me that I'm actually really excited to explore we'll

15
00:01:00,199 --> 00:01:08,000
talk about that later outside of that you have the four extra domes um I

16
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,960
believe they're these are different heights right so the controller comes

17
00:01:10,119 --> 00:01:18,880
with three complete sets of different domes different heights uh but then also

18
00:01:15,479 --> 00:01:20,680
the you know the Xbox style concave ones

19
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,439
I've gotten used to these so I don't imagine I'll be switching but I'm

20
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,439
excited to

21
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:33,439
try outside of that we have the little locking do hickey uh that allows you to

22
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:37,799
lock the USBC Cable in place on the no that's not the Dual sense Edge ew onto

23
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,399
the Dual sense Edge uh making it that it's not just going to pull out in the

24
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,880
middle of gameplay which can be an issue we'll explore a little bit more about

25
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,600
that we'll take this out to keep exploring this case we have the

26
00:01:45,399 --> 00:01:52,119
different types of paddles uh two different sets little half ones and then

27
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:57,320
the regular trigger type paddles outside of that this case feels pretty premium

28
00:01:56,039 --> 00:02:02,399
this would be a nice little travel case they should maybe consider selling this as a separate accessory I pay like 20

29
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:07,159
bucks for this thing there's a QR code you know what that means R roll oh my

30
00:02:05,479 --> 00:02:13,959
gosh if Sony had that sense of humor I would be so happy oh my gosh it is no

31
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:15,680
it's a link to uh the Dual s uh page

32
00:02:13,959 --> 00:02:20,280
which is neat all right here's the meat and potatoes of this video we have the

33
00:02:17,959 --> 00:02:25,360
Dual sense versus the Dual sense Edge I think the Dual sense Edge is kind of

34
00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:27,800
ugly I don't like this glossy plastic

35
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:33,280
much prefer the look of the matte I also know uh my controller is not the most

36
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:36,120
sanitary thing in my life uh and so I

37
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:41,120
imagine that this is going that's that's user error let's be fair everyone

38
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:44,319
relax oh that was a good click I really like the look of the touchpad has a

39
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:48,400
bunch of the PlayStation symbols really small I can feel my fingers going across

40
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:53,080
it it doesn't feel obtrusive but it looks really premium I like the black on

41
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,879
white highlights kind of a similar visual design I mean it's exactly the

42
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:01,280
same controller except for you know these little pieces I think I like the

43
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:07,000
white on white a little bit more than the black on white because I'm not used to looking at it it feels almost like a

44
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,599
third party knockoff the buttons look

45
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,920
like they're made of the same plastic they feel exactly the same same with the

46
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,840
d-pad one of the things I really like about PlayStation's controllers is that

47
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:20,040
they're great allrounder controllers I much prefer Xbox controllers for

48
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:24,599
Shooters and racing games I think those triggers especially in the past have

49
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:28,080
been Superior I think that PlayStation has done a good job from the beginning

50
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:32,280
of having strong d-pads they're not the best the Sega Saturn has the best but

51
00:03:30,799 --> 00:03:36,000
it's a very usable d-pad so when you're playing older games on your PlayStation

52
00:03:33,799 --> 00:03:40,519
or even when you connect it to a PC this is a really good controller for pretty

53
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:46,000
much everything at first glance the analog sticks look like they're exactly

54
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,439
the same but as you can see here these

55
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:51,519
ones come off and that's part of what makes the Dual sense Edge such an

56
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:56,760
appealing product is that you can customize it but also its repairability

57
00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:00,599
the original Dual sense has potentiometer analog sticks so that

58
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:04,200
means that they wear and tear uh as the the parts inside are rubbing and

59
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,840
eventually you get stick drift it hasn't been a huge issue on the Dual sens like

60
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:11,519
it's been on the joycons but it's definitely still an issue and will

61
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:15,280
persist to become a bigger and bigger issue as the generation goes on on the

62
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:20,519
bottom we have these function buttons that will allow us to toggle between custom profiles or set different macros

63
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:26,360
we have the same headphone jack and accessory pins that we can use for charging the Dual sense Edge will work

64
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:30,759
on your first party PS5 charging dock on the back we have the trigger sliders

65
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:36,400
that allow you to quickly toggle between how far the travel of the trigger will

66
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,720
go um at the top we have the full action

67
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,680
middle you know middle and the bottom kind of hairpin trigger if you're

68
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:46,199
playing war zone and you're pulling the trigger and you want the minimum amount of time between your brain your finger

69
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:49,720
and the controller making an input on screen happen you know less travel is

70
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,840
going to be a little bit faster is it going to be a material

71
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:57,360
difference I'll leave that up to you another thing of note is that the Dual

72
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:01,120
sense still has the Adaptive triggers if you don't know what that does basically

73
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:05,199
it adapts the resistance of the trigger so that you can simulate you know

74
00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:08,880
different gun trigger pulls or pulling a a bow it'll create more resistance as

75
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:12,280
you pull back it's pretty neat and there's been some games that have done a

76
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:16,400
pretty good job I think returnal and astrobot have done a pretty neat job of

77
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:20,280
of utilizing some of these controllers features um but it's one of those things

78
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,800
especially if I'm playing competitive I just turn them off but it's it's Nifty

79
00:05:22,319 --> 00:05:28,160
it's Nifty I'm trying to imagine the middle of a game if I would ever switch

80
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,680
profiles probably not but I think if I was playing tons of Apex on conso or

81
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,919
something I would have it right at the top this feels a lot more reminiscent of

82
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:41,240
the Dual shocks 1 through three I'm glad we have the triggers now I think it's a

83
00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:42,639
much more uh enjoyable experience and

84
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:46,080
grossing in some ways especially when you paired with the Adaptive Triggers on

85
00:05:44,759 --> 00:05:51,280
the back you can see the design is a little different on the Dual s we have this black line to kind of you know show

86
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:57,639
that it's premium but more importantly we have the slots for the paddles I

87
00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:01,400
don't play competitive games on consoles but I can appreciate that your fingers

88
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:06,400
are resting there they might as well do something I think there's a lot of use cases for these paddles it's definitely

89
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,919
a preference thing you can use either either the half paddles or the full

90
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:13,360
paddles if you don't know what they're used for um for a lot of competitive

91
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:17,160
games you know you can just remap different buttons so it's a little

92
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:21,160
easier to access so You' be able to map something that you're using a lot on the

93
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:26,840
face to the back meaning you don't have to take your thumbs off the sticks

94
00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:28,800
basically allowing you to keep aiming

95
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:33,319
stay focused on the right thing while you still per your actions these feel

96
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:36,360
pretty good I've used the scuff controllers with their paddles and I

97
00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:41,440
always found they felt really cheap I think that whole controller feels really cheap I really don't like the SCU

98
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:45,280
controllers I think the Dual sense feels very premium it's a $70 controller you

99
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,280
know $10 more than what controllers used to cost but it's always felt very

100
00:06:46,919 --> 00:06:52,400
comfortable in my hand I'm glad they didn't drastically change the shape my

101
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:56,680
middle fingers land pretty naturally right on the triggers while my fourth

102
00:06:53,720 --> 00:07:02,199
and fifth finger finger while my fourth and fifth finger uh grasp the handles

103
00:06:59,879 --> 00:07:05,280
pretty tightly with your eyes closed you'd have a pretty hard time telling

104
00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:09,440
the difference between the Dual sense and the Dual sense Edge other than these

105
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:13,599
extra plastic flourishes and this slight weight difference however in your hands

106
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:19,360
they feel about the same the Dual sense Edge 325 G 328 on our scale that's you

107
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:23,720
know marginal error and the Dual sense is 280 G

108
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:28,319
281 they feel pretty similar in their hands there's that phenomenon of heavier

109
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:33,319
things feeling more premium but it's so slight I wouldn't really describe it as

110
00:07:31,039 --> 00:07:38,840
that as I rub my palm which is not a realistic use case I can feel the seam

111
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:41,199
on the side a lot more on the Dual sense

112
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:44,360
Edge all the black also has a seam it's not as pronounced like it doesn't feel

113
00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:47,840
as uncomfortable it's definitely there but it almost feels advantageous where

114
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:51,680
it adds like an extra like grip Point overall if you've held a dual sense

115
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:55,240
you've basically held a dual sense Edge here's where things get interesting

116
00:07:52,879 --> 00:07:59,599
modern controllers have a plague stick drift as long as we're not using Hall

117
00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:03,360
ofix sensors that use magnets to detect stick motion uh and instead we're using

118
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,479
potentiometers that rub against each other we're always going to have stick

119
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,520
drift in some way or another unfortunately even though this is a

120
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:16,080
premium product they're still cheaping out and using potentiometer based analog

121
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:20,159
sticks and that sucks the great thing about the Dual sense Edge is that you

122
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:25,639
can swap them out I got to figure out how to do that on the bottom there's a

123
00:08:22,159 --> 00:08:28,520
little release latch that that just

124
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:33,599
frees up this place this FL plate why did they go glossy black it looks so

125
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:37,839
this is trash I'm actually upset underneath we have this latch that

126
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:42,519
releases the little analog stick module that Sony will be selling separately for

127
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:47,560
$20 each the construction is quite good and you you can see this little Port uh

128
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,320
it's quite a nice little device but it sucks that it's so expensive Gilly kit

129
00:08:49,959 --> 00:08:54,680
has mentioned on their Twitter that they are intending to sell their own version

130
00:08:53,279 --> 00:08:58,120
of these modules with holif effect sensors that's pretty exciting uh so far

131
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,959
we've had a pretty good experience with those controllers and those those sticks

132
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:06,720
uh and so being able to swap them in and out as easily that's pretty great this

133
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:13,000
is a very nice little mechanism and I'm quite impressed once the face plate goes

134
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:16,880
on honestly can I just game without it it honestly looks way cooler without it

135
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:21,680
that pretty much covers the physical exploration of the device I am so

136
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:26,279
excited to get on a PS5 customize the software and really experience it after

137
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:30,640

a new Len note account at the link in the description below that's pretty cool

148
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:14,120
there's a separate menu uh inside the settings to just adjust your dual sense

149
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:18,079
Edge stuff so let's kind of go through one thing I didn't realize is that the

150
00:10:16,079 --> 00:10:21,279
more paddle like ones you can have them in this orientation where they stick out

151
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,760
more from the controller and it's more of like a vertical press or you can have

152
00:10:23,399 --> 00:10:28,519
them a little more flush to the controller kind of along the natural

153
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:32,120
Edge uh and then your finger will kind of more natur fit there I think that's

154
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:36,519
what I'm going to go to adjust the input sensitivity that's neat and then set the

155
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:39,519
input range for your controller sure it's prompted me to hit the function

156
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,279
button if you hold it it'll bring up these profiles that you can switch

157
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:46,959
between it gives you a little indicator that makes it a little easier to remember I was kind of wondering that

158
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:50,079
myself I'm like I won't remember what profile I have all the time if I'm

159
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:54,720
switching between like five or six profiles that's pretty nifty starting a

160
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,959
controller by creating a custom profile let's do it we're going to go through

161
00:10:56,639 --> 00:11:02,639
the whole journey so I'm going to call it short perky for no apparent reason

162
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:06,440
customize button assignments I'm a big fan of not having the left stick be my

163
00:11:04,839 --> 00:11:11,519
sprint button where you click down and push I find there's just like a loss of

164
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,920
control I would way prefer to have it be

165
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:19,279
you know tied to a trigger so you hold the trigger while you're pushing you can Sprint I'm going to assign the left

166
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,920
stick press to my left paddle and I'm

167
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:24,800
assuming that it's just as simple as selecting L3 and that's going to assign

168
00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:29,399
L3 I'm going to unassign interesting you can turn on and

169
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:33,399
off the left stick itself I imagine that more for accessibility reasons uh if you

170
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:37,519
wanted to tie it to something else in the game I don't have a use for that but

171
00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:42,800
I do wish to turn off the left stick button one thing I'm curious about is

172
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,440
turning off and on the touchpad this is actually something I would very much

173
00:11:43,959 --> 00:11:49,880
enjoy there's lots of games that have functions tied to the touchpad and I

174
00:11:48,079 --> 00:11:54,279
often accidentally engage them you know as your finger swipes across them uh

175
00:11:51,839 --> 00:11:59,600
having a profile where you turn off touchpad I'm going to also disable the

176
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:04,240
right stick button next we have stick sensitivity and dead zone for short

177
00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:09,839
perky as I push the stick in a direction you can see the amount it's going I

178
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:14,320
genuinely enjoy a little dead zone we have the different sensitivity curves so

179
00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:17,880
default quick precise steady digital Dynamic and they're all accompanied with

180
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:21,720
a little neat graphic indicator to kind of give you the idea of the curve uh I'd

181
00:12:20,519 --> 00:12:25,839
imagine if I was playing competitive Shooters on consoles I would definitely

182
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,839
play around with these a big advantage that mouse and keyboard has over

183
00:12:27,079 --> 00:12:32,880
controllers is how quickly you can adjust your aim and so being able to

184
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,839
have these different profiles uh where pushing the stick all the way to One Direction gets you moving really fast

185
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:40,880
but in the middle there's like a little bit of a more sensitive area I think

186
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:44,720
could be really really useful I'm going to leave it on default for now uh I am

187
00:12:42,959 --> 00:12:49,079
going to boost my dead zone a little bit cuz I very much enjoy having games not

188
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:53,079
immediately move when I press the stick there is a natural Dead Zone built into

189
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:57,920
to most controllers and games uh but sometimes especially when I'm playing on

190
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:59,199
a PC there's the issue of I move the

191
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:04,639
stick a tiny bit and it just starts rotating the camera a lot like on PC things aren't designed to work as well

192
00:13:03,199 --> 00:13:07,680
together and so sometimes you can get a controller with no dead zone but a game

193
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:13,160
that is expecting the controller to have a dead zone it can just be a little bit little bit unwieldy I was playing Hi-Fi

194
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:17,480
Rush recently and I had to kind of go and adjust my controller settings quite

195
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:23,160
a bit to make it feel okay you can also adjust the trigger effect intensity um

196
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,560
but as it says once you adjust your

197
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:28,639
sliders for the triggers it'll stop the effect the nice thing is switching

198
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,680
between profiles is as easy as holding down the function button pressing a face

199
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:36,800
button switch to short perky switch to default profile let's go short perky for

200
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:40,160
now going to go to mine I don't think this one actually has any games this is

201
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,760
great even though I've switched profiles the controller is storing the different

202
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:47,320
profile settings uh another thing of note is if you hit function and the

203
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:51,720
options button it's going to bring you to this customization menu uh and you

204
00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:55,480
can create your profiles here it's kind of neat even in the menus it'll switch

205
00:13:54,079 --> 00:14:00,600
the buttons around I had disabled my right stick uh and in this password menu

206
00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:04,040
the right stick is the switch to symbols button so I had to remind myself that

207
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,639
I'd switch it to the back PlayStation controllers have always had the issue of

208
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:12,040
because their sticks aren in symmetrical location uh if you have really big hands

209
00:14:09,759 --> 00:14:16,160
your thumbs can kind of you know rub it's not super common like I I don't

210
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:20,519
have big hands but I've never come close to having that issue PS5 controller the

211
00:14:18,199 --> 00:14:24,079
Dual sense fixed that by having these a little bit further I think I liked it

212
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:27,759
more just on the right stick I think it like pushes my thumbs off so that it

213
00:14:26,079 --> 00:14:32,839
feels less ergonomic I think the Dual sense is a very good natural hand shape

214
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:36,000
uh and this forces my thumb to be just a little more elevated what we have set up

215
00:14:34,839 --> 00:14:41,519
right now isn't really going to change anything in the lasso so I'm going to go back see how easy it is to change my

216
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:45,600
profile the right stick doesn't do much so I'm actually going to assign circle

217
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:51,600
to the right stick that's kind of your Crouch and your uh prone

218
00:14:48,519 --> 00:14:53,199
button okay it it uh immediately works

219
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,480
that's kind of neat I imagine if you're someone that's interested in this you

220
00:14:54,720 --> 00:15:00,600
like the nitty-gritty of going in and changing every setting so having it be

221
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:04,720
so easy to go from game to changing your settings is very important if you had to

222
00:15:03,079 --> 00:15:08,199
like leave your game or even you know suspend it uh so you could make

223
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:12,040
adjustments that'd be a pain because where lots of games will totally be fine

224
00:15:10,079 --> 00:15:16,920
just using the Dual sense controls I imagine some will be better off using

225
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:19,279
some in-game customizations and some uh

226
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:23,120
controller console level customizations now we're going to try the different

227
00:15:20,839 --> 00:15:26,839
trigger travel settings we have it all the way the default um this is something

228
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:32,160
I'm very familiar with I play a fair amount on my PS5 let's go middle setting

229
00:15:30,199 --> 00:15:36,440
I don't really like the feel of that last of us isn't a game I probably would

230
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:40,279
change my trigger settings too much on of the three settings I personally

231
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:44,040
especially in a more narrative game would leave the Triggers on full travel

232
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,079
if I was playing something competitive I don't really see the point of having the

233
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:51,319
middle setting I think I would go all the way to the top setting it's not like

234
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:55,680
the middle setting has haptic triggers or some kind of middle ground it's still

235
00:15:53,680 --> 00:16:00,319
everything disabled so I might as well take the most advantage of the shortened

236
00:15:57,639 --> 00:16:04,040
travel for uh better control these paddles feel good they feel premium way

237
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:08,000
better than the Scuf Controller screw you Scuf for a game like Last of Us I

238
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,399
would want my triggers you know to have the full travel to be immersive but if I

239
00:16:09,519 --> 00:16:15,680
was playing something competitive I can definitely see the benefit of the

240
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:19,759
shorter travel PlayStation controllers uh the dual shock 4 and the Dual sense

241
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:24,399
are both highly sought after controllers for a variety of applications they are

242
00:16:22,319 --> 00:16:28,440
good for like reliability and input latency uh and like I said their button

243
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:32,800
configuration and the button quality is good for variety of different genres

244
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:37,360
however if I was playing games competitively wired controllers are the

245
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:42,480
best and there hasn't been a first party Sony wired controller since the PS2 era

246
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:47,199
the PS3 to my knowledge didn't have a wired first-party controller and the

247
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:51,319
Dual set shock 4 has not and so this is the first one basically you take the

248
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:55,560
wire you put it in there uh close it up there's a little toggle here from unlock

249
00:16:53,120 --> 00:17:00,319
to lock you push it in and then you slide it to lock it clicks and it's

250
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,959
pretty solid that's pretty good with the dual shock and the Dual sense you can

251
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:07,439
run them in wired mode and actually transmits the data Through the Wire it's

252
00:17:05,559 --> 00:17:10,799
not just power although it made almost no difference and my skill level was

253
00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:14,600
always the barrier I liked knowing that that that was true so this is just kind

254
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:19,319
of a Perfection of that idea even if you get upset you know you You Yank on the

255
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,640
cable it's pretty solid in there I don't like doing that because it's an

256
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:29,360
expensive thing I don't want to like damage it but that feels pretty

257
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:29,360
freaking solid

258
00:17:29,559 --> 00:17:35,200
this is a pretty nifty engineering design it means that the top isn't a

259
00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:39,600
whole like mechanism it's just two holes although I bet those get gunked up real

260
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:43,559
quick although I guess if you're like dipping your thing in cheese dip don't

261
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:49,200
do that and having it plugged in is kind of Ideal because what was the biggest

262
00:17:46,679 --> 00:17:55,799
weakness of the regular dual sense is the even bigger or downfall of the Dual

263
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:57,679
sense Edge this battery in this bad boy

264
00:17:55,799 --> 00:18:03,520
this much more expensive bad boy is almost 30% smaller than this this is

265
00:18:00,679 --> 00:18:09,520
1560 milliamps and this is 1050 milliamps Sony claimed that this is 12

266
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:12,559
to 15 hours that's total BS I get tops

267
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:14,080
eight hours uh realistically like five

268
00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:17,960
six and so I just plug this in every single game session uh and they claim

269
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:22,600
this is 5 to 10 hours so it's going to be even less Outlets are claiming around

270
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:26,960
5 hours but as the battery degrades that's just a pain in the butt I think

271
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:31,080
it's a huge missed opportunity to have the pro version of this controller

272
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:36,000
not have a bigger battery not have an interchangeable battery not have some

273
00:18:32,919 --> 00:18:37,799
way for this to be a way better user

274
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:42,880
experience that is not enough battery life and Sony really has to figure out

275
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,640
uh some better system cuz their their controllers are awesome and all these

276
00:18:44,159 --> 00:18:50,120
extra features are Nifty you know like having a built-in mic and speaker having

277
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:53,600
these like cool LEDs having accessory docks and stuff those are cool but it

278
00:18:52,159 --> 00:18:56,799
sucks that I have to charge my controller in every single time and I do

279
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:01,000
that but there's other people in my house that don't so sometimes I pick up my control

280
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:04,679
and it's dead and then I have to spend like a few minutes either like 3T away

281
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:08,840
from my console CU that's how long my cable is to play it or you know just

282
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:12,840
wait and I don't want to wait I don't have time to wait this solves a few of

283
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:16,280
those issues you know you get like a 3 meter cable that's cool you can play

284
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:21,520
with it wired but it doesn't solve all of that and I think that's a huge

285
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:24,679
downfall in a controller that is better

286
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:27,840
in every way essentially to the Dual

287
00:19:24,679 --> 00:19:31,280
sense to have this one major flaw but is

288
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:33,559
it enough to Warrant having it be almost

289
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:40,440
triple the price the original Dual sense is $70 this is

290
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,080
$200 big pluses I think the switchable

291
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:46,360
analog sticks are great I think the extra customization and the software for

292
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:51,120
the right people is a huge huge huge deal having this wired mechanism that's

293
00:19:49,159 --> 00:19:55,400
pretty nifty but I really don't think it's worth $200 I don't feel like it's

294
00:19:53,720 --> 00:20:00,280
that much more premium I don't think it looks better I really hate this stupid

295
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:05,400
PL plastic finish I have a hard time justifying the upgrade from a dual sense

296
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:11,200
to a dual sense Edge just like it's harder to justify the Dual sense Edge in

297
00:20:08,159 --> 00:20:13,000
the light of the Xbox Elite controller

298
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:17,400
it has the four back paddles it has the switchable d-pads I think the Xbox Elite

299
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:22,600
feels much more premium than the base one uh it also has a 40h hour battery

300
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:27,280
it's not Apples to Apples the Dual sense has so many more little stupid features

301
00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:31,640
that are Nifty but aren't that important to me and having a 40 hour battery would

302
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:35,480
be really nice thanks for watching the ShortCircuit if you like fancy

303
00:20:34,039 --> 00:20:41,600
controllers why not check out Linus's unboxing of the Elite Series 2

304
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,600
controller bye bye
