'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.

"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.'
