The Dual Sense has the best Input Latency amongst any of Sony's Controllers.

The best wired controller is < 1 ms
The best wireless controller is 3.642 ms

Sony's Dual Sense is doing just fine in terms of Input latency compared to the majority of it's peers

Its def annoying, but I got a second controller so except when me and my GF wanna play a multiplayer game together its usually fine to just switch them out when one gets low.

Ergo the Dual Sense V2 that's coming.

They're literally making a V2 of the DualSense to fix the battery life issues.

It's coming very soon.

If Sony is willing to make a V2 of it's existing controller, what's to stop them from making a V3 that is more "Eco Friendly" and has user mounted replace-able batteries?

Or buy the one with AA batteries that I can recharge in controller or manually swap.

Then I'll be a happy camper.

What's holding me back right now is the battery life & lack of user replace-able batteries.

Something MS got right early on with their controllers.

Too bad the Assymetric Analog Sticks isn't to my liking.

My shit is weird. I have 2 controllers. The PS5 will give me the message that my batteries are low, and I can still get a solid 2 hours before the controllers shut off.
And I don't know what's going on with folks who are getting 2-3 hours, that's crazy! I've timed it, I get right around 6 hours of playtime on my controllers, (although I do have the light turned down to lowest setting, and haptics/rumble turned down to medium, and speaker/microphone off).
It is impossible to live in the past, difficult to live in the present, and a waste to live in the future.

Batteries do get faulty also never run your batteries to zero or so. I thought maybe this would help for a first run or two and sometimes I forget.

But on my cellphone I thought I could train it and well yea it just gets too hot I guess. I have other quibbles about my laptop. But generally when they say charge your ps4 controller charge it soon.

Cellphone too hot in I wasted half my battery due to a fast charge it's still good but fuck it's 40 percent less than it should be.

A wireless controller with terrible battery life kinda defeats the point of an untethered controller

PS controllers have always had shit battery. Its never been more than about 10 or 12 hours at best, and its usually more like 7 or 8. But if youre doing anything 2D, an Xbox controller is simply awful to use for that, so a PS controller is mandatory.

I do think the Xboxs external battery design is better than a built-in battery, as you can just get a couple sets of eneloop rechargeable batteries and when they get to the point they wont hold a charge, just get new ones. Whereas with lithium ion batteries they will eventually just die and youll have to get a new whatever it is.

that "terrible battery life" is still 4-6 hours.

I very, very rarely play over 6 hours in one day anymore...

sorry but after the Wii I am done juggling AA batteries for game controllers, rechargeable or otherwise. I made sure to buy an xbox elite controller mainly because it has a built-in battery like my Switch and PS5 controllers.

I have Elite controller too. The fact remains that at some point that internal battery means itll be a $180 paperweight, whereas if it had AA batteries I could just put another set of eneloop batteries in it when they wont hold a charge anymore and it would last forever.

by the time it becomes a "paperweight" I would most likely have bought new controllers for new systems, so that doesn't worry me.
