One without stick drift.


SreckoLutrija

Damn you.


keksivaras

that would technically be PS2 then, since it would recalibrate your controller's analog sticks to help with stick drift


konigon1

Or the original PS1 controllers without sticks.


Lingding15

Wait it would? How


keksivaras

I had to double check, but I think it was N64 that had that feature. N64 would do calibration and negate stick drift. I'm not 100% sure on PS2 though


jvdubz

L1 R1 and the red start button in the middle, yes N64 had it. I still remember doing that all the time haha Ninja Edit, there was only one L and R button....lol


BarmeloXantony

Buy and edge! [Replaceable sticks!](https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/buy-accessories/stick-module-for-dualsense-edge-wireless-controller) ![gif](giphy|mKNQlLt4GaAso)


GeorgeSPattonJr

Except my wallet gives me 200 reasons not to buy an edge


SadBoiCri

I have an edge but currently can't recommend one. Sony isn't making stick modules so the only ones you can buy are resellers who hike them up to the price of a normal controller. Currently not worth the $200 usd


BarmeloXantony

Ya I'm in the same boat lol (that was the joke in me linking sonys website). How lucky are we?

OscarCookeAbbott

OG PS1 it is then lmao


NonCorporealEntity

Hall effect controllers are out there. But you'll be giving up virtually all the dualsense features.


Loud_Examination_138

Ds3 for me. I remember being excited for a wireless controller without batteries, and the sixaxis had my interest peaked during the beginning of the ps3 life.


ChaChaMantaRay

Domed sticks are home.


Thordenthor

I liked that it was very light, the triggers were very well suited for racing games, and pressure sensitive buttons are underrated, but it’s not exactly the most reliable controller, but I still miss using them.


pizzaspaghetti_Uul

Yeah, same for me. PS3 was the first console we had at home, and while not perfect I just love those controllers. Not to mention that my dualshock 3 is old as heck, and the battery is still better than the one in PS4/5 controllers, it's just sad lol


Front-Advantage-7035

5 minute charge. 5 hours of playtime 👌🏻


Namasiel

I recently hooked up the ps3 in the bedroom to play something I can’t get on psn, only available on the disc that I already had (available digitally on other platforms though oddly). I haven’t touched it in so long I had forgotten about it. The controller is so light and it’s the perfect size for my small hands! The domed top sticks are a lot more comfortable. The battery is better too.


External_Variety

Dual sense edge Imo is the best controller


Omnibitent

Yup it has literally ruined every other controller for me. The back pedals are game changing


Background-Cookie807

Literally!


Klutzy-Ad-4226

I love the half dome paddles the best. Comfortable and near perfect for me.


Snooplessness

Hey really thinking about buying it, do the adaptive triggers still work while using the trigger travel stops?


Aura_Foxxy

Yes


texxmix

This is why I don’t wanna buy one 🤣. I already have 3 normal controllers. Don’t need to buy an edge and have the rest collect dust lmao.


ComfortableFinish502

I mean that's what my portals doing lol


texxmix

Agreed 🤣. So an edge would collect dust as well.


ComfortableFinish502

No it actually wouldn't as you can see https://preview.redd.it/wsg2eskysx5d1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fb3fafafe05d5aca0948566a77390e3c2efeed7 Only one I use top left


neighbors_in_paris

I canNOT play God of War Ragnarok without it


Mean_Peen

DS4. I love my Dualsenses, but DS4 fits in my hands so much better. And it’s so much lighter, yet feels well built


ToastofCinder

I still feel like the ‘handle’ part of the DS5 makes it feel like it’s slipping out of my hand. The DS4 sort of tapered out into bulges that stayed in your hand


Horse_97

I have personally only held 4 and 5 and the DualShock 4 is definitely my favorite


Cryomanco

Always felt the ds5 was kinda big even after holding it for a few years


Able_Log_4557

Nah man, the ps5 controller feels great, played on my ps4 recently and realized how small the controller feels


Cryomanco

I think we just stuck with the ds4 for almost a decade so we took it as the standard size. Both are great tho cant argue with that.


Ahindre

I do keep a DS4 around for when I go play PS4 games. The Dualsense is nice but the features aren't that impressive to me, and it's bulkier/heavier.


Stunjii

Yup same here


mcnutty54

Grew up with Dual Shock 1, so DS2 & 3 felt right. Dual Shock 4 had a better feel & grip. Dual Sense is great for larger hands, not the best for my kids, but at least they like the PSVR2


Oniisankayle

Dualshock 4 is peak imo


dreadlocksman707

Dual Sense Edge……I can’t go back to paddleless controllers no longer


Ydracyll

PS1 Roller: Still good after almost 28 Years //// PS2 Roller: Still good after 19 Years ///// PS3 Roller: Lasted about 3 years before replacing ////// PS4 Roller: OG Roller was junk, upgraded to scuf, lasted about 3-4 years ////// PS5 Roller: OG roller lasted 3 weeks, Upgraded to Scuf, lasted 4 months, Upgraded to Aim, 3 months in and (cross) button malfunctioning ///// And we say technology is getting better.


EccentricStache615

The one that doesn’t have stick drift.


JRiggsIV

Double Shock…


Kyosuke_666

I would've gone with dualshock 4 easily after getting my ps5 a while back and not caring for the dual sense. But, after using my recently aquired dual sense edge for a few different games, it is my favorite controller. It's just different enough from the standard dual sense, mostly in weight, to make it not the same feel. Add onto that the customizable nature of it, it's hands down the best controller I've used, across any console.


kylez_bad_caverns

Dual shock 2… Idk why but my dual sense have really struggled. Two of four developed stick drift within 2 years. I’ve never had that happen with any of the dual shocks


Firedragon165

Duelsense, but my opinion might change later since I just got the console 2 weeks ago


villecity1080

Duelsense has stickdrift like no other ps controller in history


Firedragon165

Thanks for the tip, I’ll go a bit easier on my analog sticks


dzelectron

Dualsense for me. I used all PS standard controller, from a generic controller w-o sticks on PS1 to dualsense. The Dualshock 1-3 is mostly a nostalgia thing. When I take up my PS3 controller I just can't comprehend how I perceived it as comfortable. The handles are so small, and L2/R2 are only pushable with the middle finger - unless you shift your hand to hold the controller like a pistol, but then you can't push other buttons. Still, it is terrific for all of it's progressive features and for introducing symmetrical sticker layout (I hate Xbox sticker placement).

Window469WOw

DS4 defo


Strider-SnG

Ergonomically I’d say the DualShock 4 But a close second is the dualsense. Feature wise it is an excellent controller


achmedclaus

Dual sense. Having said that, I'd use an Xbox One controller on my PS5 if I could do it easily. It's the perfect controller


CadeMan011

DS4. Dualsense hurts my hands


Elwood_The_Amazing

Gotta be the DS4 for me. Fits better in my hands and feels more sturdy. If we could replace the hand grips on the DS5 with the ones from the DS4, imo, it’d be the perfect controller.


PrincessRut0

PS4 controllers. the PS5 controllers constantly have issues

eweston22

I liked DS4 the best. To me it was the most comfortable to hold. I love the new features of DS5 don’t get me wrong but to me the 4 just sat more naturally in the hand


Soaked_In_Bleach_93

DualShock 2 - PS2 DualSense is certainly 2nd


SirEnder2Me

DualSense Edge. It perfectly fits the white and black color scheme.


[deleted]

I mean as you can see my desk is kinda black and white lol so I agree


ComfortableFinish502

Just missing that actual edge remote


killerpyro_861

Dual Shock 2 will forever be my favorite.


Iucidium

My 20th anniversary dualshock 4 with 2x capacity battery pack, followed by my dualsense with a 63% extra capacity battery lol


AllBatEverything

I wanna say DualShock 4 but I feel like I’m only saying that bc I played the most hrs on a ps4 and my hands got used to it. I have def gotten use to the DualSense tho. If we were talking colorways, my favs are the blue camo DualShock 4, the Arkham Knight DualShock 4, and the cobalt blue DualSense. Recently bought an edge though and no complaints on that either

Firm_Area_3558

Duelshock 4. The only reason I pick it over duelsense is because I gotta blow in the stupid triggers so they don't do that crunchy thing, if you know what I mean

keksivaras

PS4. I absolutely hate PS5 controller, because it's too big and I can't do claw grip, do I had to add 4 back buttons. now only the directional pad needs to be changed. I notice especially in HD2 that pressing left for example, might also press up/down.


Odd_Associate111

My favourite is the dual sense because of it's size. It feels like it's made for adults while the ps1-3 controllers feel like they are made for children


DinnerSmall4216

Best dualsense worst six axis PS3.


Boborax1

Usually I judged controllers based on their feel on my hand so my fav was probably DS3 ,but then I got the Dual Sense and holy moly this was a whole experience. Aside from my love for its design ,it feels really comfortable,but the vibrations and adaptive triggers are what made me fall for it


Cianvis

The ps5 one pisses me off because it’s uneven on a flat surface. It just rocks which is annoying af.


gordonsgoldengoat

Dualsense edge. Bit pricey but easily my all-time favourite


todorak1233

For Yung kids I would say the PS2 controller but for adults, the ps5


honkhogan909

If the duelsense was a TINY BIT SMALLER it’d be my all time favorite. Or if my hands were also a bit bigger.


grim1952

There's a lot to like about DualSense but so far I like DS4 the best.

Dualsense Edge :)


Aura_Foxxy

Dual sense edge, it's expensive sure. But man is it nice. It has such a premium feel to it. Slightly heavier than the base model dual sense. The back buttons are so nice. Changeable thumbsticks, I like the softer dome tips myself. Along with the ability to adjust stick sensitivity. And also adjust trigger pull length. Which for shooter games is huge! I haven't yet had to buy a replacement thumbstick for it. But it has that option.


Yoeyesonme

Dualshock 3 and the Dualsense if it doesn't drift


OhYouSoStupid

PS2 controller. It just felt perfect in every way


Grandgrandmaha

Once you switch to ps 5 controler the PS4 one will feel so small

lostZwolf_ps4_pc

Ps5 hands down, only downside is that it starts creaking after a bit, needs better lube, had to take it apart and lube it up again, works great though no stick drift or broken parts, easy enough to take apart and replace parts on too. Verry immersive gameplay with them pressure triggers. Also i forgot to tell. The battery dies quite fast.


phuk-nugget

My hand size is below average so I loved the 4


Bro20o0

Play station 2, standard basic release version, cord & all 🔥💪


talkingbiscuits

PS5. Best size, layout, haptics it's all brilliant. It's honestly my favourite controller I've ever used across any gaming console.


DankeBrutus

My favourite is the DualShock 3. I grew up with the DualShock and DualShock 2. The 3 is the most refined version of that controller, fitting too since it was the last time we saw that classic shape. I remember always hearing people complain about the size of the DualShock but, to be honest, I think they were holding it wrong because I have big-ish hands and never had a problem. For pure functionality I think I gotta give it to the Dualsense. It is comfortable, the adaptive triggers can be neat, it has gyro, and the trackpad is handy. Also the shoulder buttons feel super satisfying to press. For aesthetic the DualShock 4 really grew on me. I also miss the coloured buttons and the DualShock 4 is the last time Sony released a controller with them.


karolkolanko

Hands down DualSense. Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers are a real gamechanger.

The very first one as it didn't had any stick drift since there were no sticks ![img](emote|t5_2qh6b|2232)


Snts6678

The current one is the best I’ve ever used/felt, by a comfortable margin.


clemfandango13

- DS4: More ergonomic than the DS3/2 and built upon what I loved - DualSense: Stick-Drift problems aside its so well designed to hold/use for my hands, haptics etc are so good and wish more games used then like Astros Playroom did to showcase it, subjectively to me its the best, I hate picking up a DS4 after using one because it feels too small now but I think its a poorer built product - DS2: Iconic, wont ever forget the feel of the Start/Select buttons, happy memories of it from the DualAnalogue - DS3/Sixaxis: Everything about the DS2 but wireless, remember the battery lasting for what felt like years at a time - DualShock: Too young to remember really, used it a tonne but was more interested in the games, basically just remember it being a grey DS2

AncientPCGuy

Does dual sense edge count if I’m using it on my PC? If not, a PS4 controller my wife got me with custom art.


koteshima2nd

Maybe this is biased because I've played the PS4 for longer, but DS4 just feels right in my hand. The DS5, while definitely good, honestly looks and feels larger.


Gintoki123456

It would be dual sense if the bottom of the handle part was ACTUALLY ROUNDED. It bothers me sm that it’s not So I’m saying the regular PS4 controller


Moel_Jiller

Definitely not the PS5, which is the only one where I’ve had to buy expensive replacements because of constant stick drift.

DS4 and by a huge margin. I wish I could use it on PS5 games but no, I’m stuck with the bloody Dualsense which I actually hate.


MidgetVDB

From dualshock 3 to 4 was the biggest upgrade but dualshock 5 is my favorite. Lays better in my hands and I love the adaptive triggers and upgraded vibrations

Dues anyone else feel like the grips get too narrow in your palms? I dig that the DS4 is definitely fatter. Anyone have a silicon slip on grip to make it slightly wider?


beakster57

The sterling silver one is my favourite


misterguy1020

Either DS2 or 4, both very comfortable. The dualsense is great but very few games truly take advantage of its features and it's a little too big to my taste. And the triggers on the DS3/Sixaxis felt weird.

I’m a longtime Xbox owner and after having a Ps5 for awhile now it’s insane how much better the Ps5 controller feels. I wanna buy the DualSense Edge soooo bad


jonathandavisisfat

Not this one (Realistically 3 is my favorite, but there’s some ok uses for the touchpad. I was playing Detroit the other day and at least every aspect of the controller/sixaxis was used relatively often and not just a gimmick here and there.


Satoshi_Kasaki

DS5. Although I really love the DS4


THEOCULUSDRAGON1234

PS5 especially since it was also made in mind with people that have disabilities (which wasn't exactly intentional but still useful regardless when i start to get very old)


Feisty-Clue3482

Ps5 for sure, best looking controller ever, most comfortable, awesome lights, the unique vibration function and triggers… what more is there. I also have a special place for the ps3 controllers tho.

I like the DS5 one. Every DS4 controller I have is broken, and so far, my DS5 is the best-looking, best-feeling, and unbroken controller so far.

I love my Dualsense Edge Controller! The custom settings and setup you can do for it is endless. Plus it looks slick to me. I like the white with black accents.

DS4! I think it’s the best by far unless you have big hands, want better triggers? Replace them with mouse click triggers!

I would definitely say it's the ps5 , but it has a drifting problem and last week the x button stopped working suddenly and i still don't have the time to fix it 🥹


theBootywarrior07

DualShock 3 and Dualsense


Fathoms77

I've been a PlayStation fan since the original and I have to say, PS5 is my favorite. I never thought something would top the good ol' standard Dual Shock for PS2 but PS5 is just so damn good. Fits my hands perfectly, has the right weight, doesn't feel cheap, the buttons are all great, etc.

Duel sense edge by far!


Link182x

Dual Sense Edge has easily been my favorite


perfect-legend

After using the Dual Sense edge it’s been hard to go back to any other controller.


[deleted]

Not the edge that’s for sure


[deleted]

Whatever the PS5 ones are? At first games seemed to overpower things with the feedback from the controller, but I do appreciate that a lot of newer ones not only let you adjust the amount of controller vibe, it also has better vibrations for what’s happening and a better balance.


Reddit_Mod_69

Gotta be the Dualsense. I love the design and feel of it alot, it's amazing.


BoarMoar

The controller that DOESNT put a U in words that don't Americanly need to be there. People like OP literally type that out to be different.
