Out of the box , I liked that the cable was so long because my only available USB's are in the back of my PC.
I've always played with PlayStation controllers even on pc so the sticks being symmetrical was a big draw for me. I've tried a few traditional Xbox styles controllers but couldn't get used to the asymmetrical sticks. I am already into my third dual sense because of drift and heard that these Hall effect sticks might be better so going to give it a try.
After playing for a few hours I realized that this controller doesn't have that sharp bottom edge that the ps5 one does. I used to keep my ps4 controller around because after about 1 hour, I have to switch from ps5 to ps4 controller because the ps5 one digs into my pinky
Pros:
*Buttons and feedback feels good
*In-hand feel is great, higher quality material than I expected tbh
*Weight is on point (heavier than ps4 controller and lighter than the duelsense )
*This controller has rumble! I didn't see it was mentioned as a feature but Im glad it has it.
*works out of the box without any additional software
*tested on my usual games with no issues and plug and play (Genshin, ZZZ, BPSR, WuWa)
*I also tested it with AntiMicroX and it recognized the controller right away ( it's a free key-rebind app that I use because one of the mmo games I play needs some buttons to be controller mapped and some to be keyboard keys. so for example I was able to map the X button on this controller to the F key on my keyboard using antimicroX)
Cons:
*There's no gryoscope which I sometimes use, but it's not a dealbreaker
*I have to get used the X,Y,A,B instead of square, circle etc. lol
Although because the layout is so similar to what I'm used to, my muscle memory picks it up fine
Other:
* I probably won't use the programmable buttons in the back because I know I'll hit them by mistake, but it's cool that you can lock them
* I haven't tried the second pair of sticks that it came with, but neat that that you can just plop them out and back in. Might try one and one for a while
I uploaded some footage of me playing, I tend to button mash lol, but seems like this controller can take it.
Overall I'm impressed with it and plan to keep using it. If you're someone who's used to playing on PlayStation and want something that works well for PC, I would say give this controller a try.
