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.

Debating a PS5

Because most here are Sony ponnies (sorry not sorry). One can say my white controller is a lemon, but my black too? They are both starting to make funny squeaky noises on the sticks lol. And having two controllers is away of life on PS, one for charging and one to play... Because they have like 8 ho

Enjoy the upgrade in gaming experience) Good choice going with the disc version. Not only is physical gaming media king, but so is 4K HD blu-ray movie discs that allow you to en

How reliable is the Xbox Elite Series 2 in 2026?

Had both the Elite Series 1 & 2, will get the Elite Series 3. Every controller on the market, without exception, will develop problems with long term use. The Elite Controller is however worthy of the best reviews as a controller, because quite simply it has earned that praise in many ways over the

How reliable is the Xbox Elite Series 2 in 2026?

I've own two Elite 2 controllers over the years so here's my thoughts on the points you wanted to know about: Stick drift - Both my current and the previous had stick drift issues. It's something that came about nearing the end of the warranty period. Buttons - No button issues specifically but my f

Is it still an issue?

I’m using the G7 Pro Zzz on Xbox series x over wireless dongle. Had some trouble getting it to register with the dongle, so put the dongle in PC and still had wireless connection issues. It appears the dongle doesn’t like being initially plugged directly into USB3 port. Attach the dongle via usb ext

Xbox Elite 2 Controllers? Help buying gift!

I’d go with the 2. I have 2 of them and I really like them. Nothing wrong with the core, you just don’t get all the accessories you would with the 2. Here’s the difference: the Xbox Elite Series 2 (full) comes with an extensive accessory bundle, including rear paddles, extra thumbsticks, an alternat

Go Big with The SpongeBob Movie Limited Edition Xbox Controllers

Both are compatible with PC! The main thing with it is that the elite has buttons on the back, rechargeable battery, rubber grip (that's why the color in front of the elite handles are black), slightly nicer build quality. While the Elite controller is nice, if your boyfriend isn't a super competiti
