Dualsense Edge Battery Life Worse Than We Thought! Here's Why
Ойындар
Sony's 1st party pro controller is more expensive than the Elite Series 2 yet has as low as 4 hours of battery life rather than well over 40. In this video I explain why the Edge has worse battery life than a stock PS5 Dualsense controller, and how to dramatically extend playtime on a stock controller or this pro controller.

It gives me the question mark battery when playing tethered, was ready for that sweet refund. I wonder what it means, hopefully switching to usb changes that, keeping my fingers crossed for another follow up video this month🤞
I don't have a PS5 but I watched the whole video because it's a good video. I'll be here for the next vid regardless of the content.

When are you doing a review on the powerA fusion pro 3?it has buttons on the back now instead of paddles 👍
I have “Enable Power Off Link” enabled under [Settings > System > HDMI > Enable HDMI Device Link] so I can put my PS5 into rest mode by turning off the TV. Turning the TV off/on is a janky workaround but still faster if I accidentally turn it on while watching TV. Thanks for calling out this annoyance. I thought the media remote would solve this but it didn’t.
You can hold the ps button for 10 seconds to turn off the controller , honestly quicker to go into settings
So once you turn off all the features, I should just go ahead and by the Victrix sweet thanks man!
Honestly GH I can't wait til you review the Victrix Procon BFG because I've had mine since last Friday here in the UK and it's a solid 9/10 definitely the best pro controller for the PS5 without a doubt.
I noticed the DS5 Edge was built a little differently than the regular DS5. I honestly don't like the DS5, but I hated the Edge for the worst ergonomics. I felt my hand didn't sit properly on the controller and using the left stick was extremely bad. I had to keep adjusting my hands and always felt uncomfortable. I wanted a controller with asymmetrical sticks, but I also tried the Victrix and that wasn't too great either for the non-removable paddles mostly, but the weight and lack of available app use yet to change the paddle layout made me not keep that one too. I just bought the Brooks adapter and will use an Elite Series 2 controller with it instead. Since that is the feel I'm looking for anyway.

Go for the Edge, all them will give drift after 6 months trust me.
For me after using the duelsense edge for 6 hours with cod, hogwarts & fifa I've still got 1 bar of battery left I've used all controllers and the elite 2 would be hard to beat but for a 2 back button controller fits better in my hands and as become my favourite of the bunch. Is it worth £209.99 to me absolutely 💯
For some reason the egde dosen't work with remote play. U can connect the edge to the tablet you're using but when in the remote play app, it just dosen't respond. Id like to see if you can figure that out. I know you don't have much on remote play but thought I'd mention it. Please figure this out sir. Porfa please.
Funny thing is i never cared for the haptic feed back and all the extra features with the ps5 controller so i always played with all these settings off from day one
Update on my dual sense... I have about 60 hours or so on my controler, my right trigger now has a extra click when it's on short push. It I gentle push it is fine... but if I give it a bit more pressure it clicks and goes down even further. I'm going to contact Sony tomorrow about it. Just wanted to give a update. I love my controller though.
I was only able to play for about 3 hours before battery blinking for recharge. It tells and looks so good, but does not last long for long play. Edit: Feels and looks*
the complete breakdown of sonys first pro controller is hands down the best ive seen on youtube. thank you for showcasing this battery issue. keep up the amazing content man.
wouldn't it burn the battery away over time if you continuously charge up your controller while playing and also when PS5 is in rest mode?
I’ve charged mine completely overnight and have had it go dead 1 hour into playing it and I have the dim turned down to lowest setting and don’t have the vibration turned on. Also I have been having issues with the sticks. They will act like they have lag in them. When you try to move it won’t react at all for a few seconds then jump way over. Anyone else have these issues?
Once I heard swappable sticks I think chmmm that's probably the way to go . But that battery is simply dealbreaker
JUS GOT ME 1 FINNA PUT IT 2 THE TEST‼️
Mineis brand new and gets 4hrs at best. Tried the Victrix Pro and that lasted about 10 but it doesn't have haptics or vibration. Sadly the Edge with those turned off is still close to 6. I like its feel but that battery life is terrible.
Let me know if you find a better third party battery!
do a video on which is the best controller for the ps5 now the edge is out.
I had one of these on pre-order but then canceled it because I heard just how abysmal the battery life is, not this is a big deal to me. The thing is I'm just concerned that they'll cave fo pressure and do a hardware revision where they fix this issue - like what Nintendo did with the orginal Switch - meaning that if you "invest" in this device you'll just be left high and dry when they bring out the new one, I. E., You either hang onto it and deal with having an inferior unit or sell it and get less money for it since there will be less of a demand for the orginal due to the fact there's a new unit out there. Is this a valid concern? I suppose that Sony could make things right if they offered a trade in value on the orginal but I just don't see them doing that. They'd be more likely just to leave you high and dry.

This will be fixed in a year or two by the aftermarket. There's not a whole lot available yet for the Dualsense, but there are PLENTY of aftermarket batteries for the DS4 that extend the battery life. I did it for mine a few years ago and it was an absolute GODSEND. Combine that with a USB-C upgrade, and I never had charging issues with the Dualshock 4 again. I'm looking forward to doing the same with my Dualsense.
I was beginning to think my controller was faulty because of the poor battery life, pretty disappointing tbh and not what I expected from a £200 controller. As a result I would not be able to recommend this to anyone.

Use the USB cable. If you buy a SCUf, Victrix, Battle B, Hexgaming, Aim controller.... All of them are way more expensive and just have mouse trigger and use the same stick as a regular PS5 controller, that's why I bought the Edge, you got some pro future + all PS5 games future. Keep your edge and buy some stuff from Xtreme rate and do your own controller.

Your actually getting ripped off just as much just at a lower cost. Budget tvs are the worst. There is a big difference between a 500 dollar tv and a 2k tv. Your just buying old technology and getting ripped off just as much. My neighbor just bought a 500 dollar tv and is bragging about how good of a deal he got. What he got was 10 year old technology with a below average display panel. People think just because it says 4k and smart tv that it's good. They also build all budget electronics with the cheapest parts possible. It's all junk sorry

The battery definitely sucks for people that play on the couch but it's not the end of the world. The no go for me is only 2 back buttons. I'm sure it's a decent controller but I don't think it's worth 200 dollars. No pro controller really is though. They are all overpriced. I got the razer for ps5 because I wanted the extra buttons. Great controller but extremely overpriced. I'm hoping sony does a version 2 with 4 back buttons and a better battery.
I've found that if I throw my dualsense against the wall fairly hard it will turn off as well. One step process.

My dualsense edge hasn't died yet, but I've got it down to 1 bar in about 3 hours with all vibrations/haptics disabled and with the light set to dim. ALSO, faster way to turn off your dualsense controller, is first unplug it if it's plugged in, then hold down the ps button, and then throw it onto your floor as hard as you can. If done correctly the controller will cut off.
