The duelshock 3 has the longest battery life when compared to duelshock 4 and duelsense

Dualshock 4 also has a giant pointless light bar. Nothing compares to Xbox controllers though. I go a month or two without charging my Elite Series 2. The Dualshock 3 lasts ok. It just depends on how old your battery is. I think it's rather easy to replace too.

The question is not just what do want from your controller, but what can you live without. For example, Hall Effect

The Steam Controller can play songs through its haptic feedback.

Steam Controller is 2 times cheaper than ps5 DualSense Edge (200$) and Xbox Elite Series 2 (200$) and out of those three Steam Controller offers the most. So think again about what those 100$ offer

Railgun Appreciation Post

Oh, I feel that! I used the original Xbox Elite controller for years with no issues. When I upgraded to the Elite 2.0 though, it was a waste of money. Defective RB out of the box twice, and very noticeable stick drift out of the box as well. Ended up grabbing that Razer Wolverine on sale for $80 (no
