True, I’ll edit
Best controller. A must for MS Windows. 👌
Some of these pc ports are bringing over Dual sense features too.
Never used a controller on a PC. Any problems or things to be aware of if using one of these? Is an Xbox controller a better move?
DS4Windows is a must have when playing non Steam games. For me, I find the PS controllers to be more comfortable and the ergonomics are really good since my hands are more spread out and not cramped unlike when using a controller such as an Xbox.
Thanks!
Also keep in mind the placement of the thumbstick. I prefer the Xbox style controller because the location of the thumbstick feels more natural.
my honest opinion is it depends on your hand size. I'm a big guy and my hands are huge so the xbox controller suits me better.
Thanks OP! Time to replace my drifted Dualsense.
Under warranty? Sony will replace. I had mine replaced this week.
It came with console that I bought last December. It thought it's covered under warranty so I took it apart.
How easy was the process? Do they provide a paid shipping label like Microsoft? And did you receive a new controller or refurbished?
If not under warranty, they can be fixed relatively easy if you don't mind taking the controller apart.. You can swap out the potentiometers inside joysticks, no need for desoldering or anything unless it's the actual spring mechanism, then that might need to replace the whole joystick maybe. I fixed one of mine recently by just swapping the potentiometers and it wasn't that difficult… Same goes for the springs in the triggers, they failed on both my controllers, and they are easier to replace than the potentiomers. Probably easier just to buy a new controller for most people, especially if there is a good sale like this, but I would recommend keeping the old one and have a go at fixing it if you can.
Mind to share link where you buy those potentiomers please?
This is the video I used. He shows how to pull the controller apart and access the potentiomets. It is quite fiddly to do the first time so follow the video carefully. In this video he ends up cleaning up the existing potentiometer to fix it. But I recommend just swapping it out instead.
Wtf… Ozbargain deleted my comment.. What a drainer… I wrote a massive comment too…
I can't be bothered rewriting what I wrote earlier. I had an alieexpress link for the potentiometers that are much cheaper and I think that's why the comment was deleted. Here is an eBay link for the same item:
@Shaun Prawn: A few weeks ago I tried cleaning the potentiometers but it still drifts. I was thinking buying new parts to replace but they're all 2-3 months long wait. I may purchase the ebay item as its shipping doesn't take too long.
@dinhhuynh: Yeh same here. When I tried cleaning it didn't work either, but when I swapped them out it worked perfectly.
I'd like to grab that camo dual sense :)
I can't see it for some reason
dualsense has alignment issue yeah?
Was this through a Perks e-mail?
The catalogue is on their website. It is the one dated 17/12 - 24/12
Thanks! :)
Any good pc games recommendations for this controller? Thanks
Hmm Gotham Knights is not a great game overall but it will benefit from using a controller instead of keyboard and mouse
wish i NEED another controller
NEED vs WANT.
Difference only in eyes of beholder.
LOL cheaper than the Black Friday deals
I knew I should have waited :(
So are all the colours now the newer models? Or is it still only just purple, pink and blue?
All colours, including the gray camouflage
Oh.. If anyone's interested.. BigW Underwood (4119) has 4 units of ps5 disc ver in stock as off 6pm 16/12
Too lazy to post it as it's only 4 unitsCan we use this controller to play games in Tesla screen
Theres videos of it working. But we couldnt get it working
Tempting, but there's really nothing wrong with my DS4 for my PC.
good job
How does it connect to PC?
Ordered for click and collect tomorrow. Was looking at picking up a second controller so good timing, thanks OP.
Ooof bargain, stacked with my $10 Birthday perks coupon
is it possible to stack with $10 JB perks for signing up and the birthday coupon?
No you can only use one coupon, each of them will say towards the bottom something similar to "Not to be used in conjunction with any other coupon"
Thanks OP, got camo.
Is there anyone get an old model Black colour at JB lately? I'm tempting to get a black controller but also worrying I may get an old stock.
Yea I'm stuck in the same situation
I guess I take the purple color since it looks nice and guarantees new stock
This or the xbox controller deal for the casual PC gamer?
Depends what you play. The new xbox X|S controllers have the best dpad around at the moment, so i'd take one of them for retro gaming. (Note, only the X|S ones, the older xbox controllers have garbage dpads).
Dualsense makes sense if you are playing games that specifically support it, but there are only a handful on PC that do - most will just treat it the same as any other XInput controller.
Most modern PC games treat all gamepad controllers the same.
anyone used these for PC? DS4 ones were pretty good and lasted me like 5 years, the biggest issue was the stupid micro-usb cables
Are these newer models that don't have stick drift?
Amazon is matching price
Cheers. Got a cosmic purple. That colour is chef's kiss
Good deal. Picked up a purple controller. Thanks OP!
Got Red and Black, hope they’re both the newer models. What should it say on the controller for the newer models?
The newer controllers have an FCC ID Number that ends with an "A" according to Tom's Guide
https://www.tomsguide.com/news/new-ps5-dualsense-controller-…Was able to get one with the new FCC ID ending with A :D
What colour did you get? Returning mine so can’t check the two I bought.
So are they the newer model?
Got purple even though I wanted camo.. because everyone said they were getting purple.
Probably cause no one could find the camo.
Now I want the Camo one.. 😞
Curious if you get the extended warranty from Jb hifi for the $11 which adds extra 2yrs (Dec 25) will they replace the controller if it breaks in 2yrs that would be worth it. Anyone done this in the past
I picked up purple from my local store and it looks amazing. Would have got camo if it was army green like the DS4.
just bought this 2 weeks ago, would JB refund the price difference?
Yes
The 10% coupon says excludes Xbox and PS5 branded accessories?
