I bought this controller (PS5 controller with 4 back paddles) around August and it arrived in September. On arrival the controller was great and it felt like I got a controller worth the $200+ I spent on it, but after a couples of weeks the touchpads issues became glaring. You can remove the face of the touchpad on an aim controller and I don’t know if that’s the cause of the issue but since it’s arrival it occasionally started to act like I was holding a finger above it right in the center of the touchpad but over a couple of weeks it happened more and more often before it would always be stuck there, this issue was not physical it was something with the touchpad it wasn’t like it was physically stuck down it just registered like that. This doesn’t seem like much of an issue for games that I play most of the time like siege, rivals, or bf6 but it made it so I couldn’t message my fiends using the controllers keyboard because of the fact the touchpad was stuck on “H”. It also affected me when playing different games like GTA as there are touchpad features in the game making it so you can use it to select a new weapon in the weapon wheel but with the touchpad being stuck, I couldn’t change weapons at all. I eventually looked at some more reviews and found out other people have had the exact issue I had which is not good. So I filled out there forms, sent the controller back and thought that was going to be the end of it. After waiting a month my controller came back and it was fine for a couples days then I went to message someone and “H” was back, it went away again like last time but after a couple weeks of use it back to being almost always stuck. But this time it is physical, I guess I didn’t notice it when I got it but the controller was either repaired improperly or got messed up in shipping and the bottom left side of the touchpad is constantly stuck down and doesn’t make I click like the other side when I press it.
So while the controller was what I wanted and I’m actually happy with how it looks and the upgrade it is to my regular duelsense; it’s been disappointing to have to return a controller and get it back broken. On top of long wait times for repairs and returns, my controller was sent to Europe the first time and when it came back, even though I sent it within the 90 day window of receiving it to get it repaired with free delivery, I had to pay for it going through customs.
I will wait for the controller to be repaired this time and if it’s great I’ll probably change this review but if there are more issues then I will honestly just be wanting a refund and to have just bought a duelsense edge, same price, no tmr sticks or digital buttons, but at least that way I would have my controller and not be constantly dealing with issues and months of it being in repair or shipping.
