PlayStation's DualSense Edge wireless controller drops to a record-low price
Sony's latest Days of Play sale has kicked off. It features deals aplenty on PlayStation 5 consoles, accessories and games, as well as PS Plus subscriptions. One of the more intriguing discounts is for the PS5 DualSense Edge. The premium controller has dropped by 15 percent from $200 to $169. That's the lowest price to date for the peripheral. The deal is available on Amazon and from Sony directly. The layout apes that of the regular DualSense controller, but there's a lot more going on with the Edge. For instance, there are function buttons below each thumbstick that allow you to swap between button configurations (which you can customize at any time in the PS5 settings). On the rear, there are switches that enable you to change the pull length of the shoulder triggers. There are also rear paddles, and you can choose between a set of levers or shorter half-domes. It's possible to swap out the thumbsticks as well and, because they attach to the controller magnetically, it's a cinch to do so. Other than the standard nubs, you can choose between short-stemmed convex and long-stemmed convex options. There's also a cable lock that prevents you from accidentally removing the USB-C charging cable by accident. You might want to keep that cable plugged in. One of the major downsides of the DualSense Edge is its battery life. In our testing, we got around five to six hours of use on a single charge, less than the six or seven we get with the standard DualSense. Last but not least, the DualSense Edge comes with a hardshell carrying case. There's even a passthrough flap through which you can thread a USB-C cable to charge the controller while it's cocooned in the case. There are, of course, lots of other intriguing discounts in the Days of Play sale, including one on the standard PS5 DualSense controller. That has dropped to $55, which is $20 off the list price.

'Reliable' PS5 controller that's 'perfect for losing at Fortnite' now £15 off on Argos
Currently £49.99 at Argos, the DualSense Wireless Controller has a 4.8-star rating from 3,516 reviews. A good controller can make a big difference to your gaming experience. For PS5 users, the Sony DualSense Wireless Controller stands out not just for its sleek design but for offering next-gen features that bring games to life like never before. Right now, it's available at Argos for £49.99, a £15 saving from its £64.99 RRP as part of an ongoing special offer. The classic Midnight Black version is joined by other colours including Camouflage, Blue, Pink, White, and Red, all priced the same, while the Silver edition is also discounted at £52.99, down from £69.99. So what exactly makes this controller a fan favourite? According to Sony, the DualSense offers 'haptic feedback' via dual actuators that simulate everything from environmental textures to weapon recoil. The 'adaptive triggers' adjust resistance depending on in-game actions, like drawing a bow or braking hard in a race. Described as offering 'signature comfort', the DualSense features an intuitive layout, improved sticks, and a refined light bar. It's also PC compatible, so it's not just for console gamers. Sony says you can 'elevate PC gaming' with immersive feedback and tension-filled triggers, all in a wireless package. With a rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars from 3,516 reviews, it's clear that the DualSense continues to impress. If you're looking for something similar but not exactly the same, the Xbox Wireless Controller in Carbon Black is currently £35.99 on Amazon (was £54.56), with a solid 4.6-star rating from over 74,000 reviews. Or there's the budget-friendly Diswoe Wireless Controller at £19.99 (was £21.99), which has earned 4.3 stars from nearly 19,000 users and supports a range of features including gyro, turbo and dual vibration. As for the DualSense itself, buyers have plenty to say. One satisfied gamer noted: 'Bought this shortly after my PS5 so I can hotseat with friends and also to easily swap when the battery goes down. "Works great, battery seems to be even better than the one that came with the PS5.' Another added: 'I have been using this controller for quite some time now. It is very reliable and I've had no stick drift or glitches with the controller. Great purchase and would highly recommend.' However, not everyone's experience has been seamless. One customer shared frustration with quality issues, saying: 'Bought 3 weeks ago, square button gets stuck already. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

"Bought one 2 weeks before Xmas and had to bring back due to stick drift. This was the replacement and it's broken already.' Still, for a large number of players, the original Sony model is a must-have: 'My old one broke and I made the mistake of buying third-party. It just wasn't the same. This is perfect for losing at Fortnite.' If you're ready to upgrade or just want a second controller for multiplayer, you can get this product HERE.
