I think it's absolutely appalling that Sony is raising prices on controllers while basically under supplying the dual sense edge joysticks and refusing to fix the stick drift issues. I have 3 controllers and each one of them has the same problem after a few months. It's maddening.

Lmao shoot your own foot I guess. People will buy 3rd party instead of official when the prices get too high. It was already nearly as much as a AAA title to get a single controller.

Are there cheap 3rd party ps5 controller. I only know some 3rd party "pro" variant which are even more expensive than the Edge.

After five minutes of half-assed searching, ya'll got it bad. What the fuck is that.

I considered getting a dualsense before for pcgaming, but the stick issues pushed me away when other alternatives have hall effect sticks and grip buttons without paying the price of the dualsense edge.
