One of the best PC controllers at a discount.
Sony’s PS5 DualSense gamepad is one of the best controllers for PC, but with a $70 MSRP it’s also one of the most expensive mainstream options. Thankfully, DualSense price cuts thatappeared first in the UKhave now spread to the US, bringing the Sony pad to a reasonable $49.
Given how well this controller is supported for PC gaming, thanks to the efforts of Valve and modders behind projects likeDualSenseX, this makes it an awesome pickup - whether you’re looking to playBaldur’s Gate 3in couch co-op orF1 23with full adaptive trigger support.
Five additional colours are also available at the same price
The benefit of the Sony controller in my mind is twofold - it offers a more convenient charging solution, using a rechargeable internal battery and USB-C port, and has a more comfortable shape with the two joysticks in the centre. In contrast, Microsoft’s (also-excellent) Xbox Series X era gamepad uses AA batteries by default and a staggered layout. On both counts, which you prefer is a matter of taste, but I probably hew closer to the Sony charging solution.
While the white and black models are linked above, you can actually click through the Amazon product page to find a huge number of additional colour options available for the same $49 price, which represents a larger discount for colours like starlight blue, nova pink, grey camouflage, galactic purple and cosmic red which originally retailed at $75.
Overall then, the DualSense comes highly recommended, so do pick one up and then look atour guide to the DualSense on PC!
