  Why should one pay $180 extra for this

    Purists that take gaming very seriously and have deep pockets. Probably a bit of "keeping up with the Jones's" as well.
    I'd only buy one for the paddles but obviously too expensive for just that.
    The PS4 had a PlayStation paddle kit for next to nothing but as soon as other retailers started making very expensive PlayStation compatible controllers, Sony jumped on the bandwagon.

    I'd grab a LE one like Horizon or God of War or something, but they did that dumb God of War DualSense which sold for almost the same as an Edge and I lost interest

    Nowadays if you want to be at the top of the leaderboard in competitive shooters, you kinda need a pro controller*. Having the ability to move, jump/crouch, aim and shoot in one fluid motion without a single finger doing double duty is a huge advantage.
    My COD k/d went from 1.4 to 2.7 on average since I started using pro controllers.
    *I wouldn't really consider this a pro controller, it's lackluster.

    Mind you, if you have poor tactics, and situational awareness, a pro controller likely will not help in any meaningful way

  It is mind boggling how expensive this controller is at full price. Astonishing.

  $260 is the discounted price? Does it make me coffee in the morning?

  Any reason these controllers are this expensive?

  • 

    Iman Oldie on 10/12/2024 - 20:16

    No special reason except you price what people will pay and in comparison to what else is on the market. .

    Because there are seemingly enough people who are willing to pay the price. In a sane world, this would not be leaving the shelves or warehouses.

    Same reason beats headphones, people tend to associate quality with price.

    Apparently these might also have the stick drift issue some controllers have, and finding the replacement parts it's really hard.

  Curious how many hours a week people gaming?

  • 

    TwentyTwoCarats on 10/12/2024 - 20:25

    Depends on employment and the pressure from that employer

    Before getting married: 20-40 hours/week
    After getting married: 8-16 hours/week
    After kids: 0-2.5 hours/week

    One week i could play 20 to 30 hours. But i can also go weeks without gaming.

    On average i would say 3 or 4 hours though. But not gaming at all for a few weeks is pretty common for me between games.

  It’s been out for a while so it is lacking. Hall of effect, micro buttons, more back paddles, just name a few

•

  I’d like to get one but I’m wanting under $200

  Hall Effect would of made it much more respectable seeing it has a high RRP

  Normal Dualsense can be had for $69/79 on sale

  Where to get the 30th anniversary versions?

    Nowhere unless you’re happy to pay a scalper on eBay

  The drift on the normal one would make you pay 80 for a new controller. New one might get drift as well.

  I believe on this one you can replace the stick and get done with it
