If you’ve been wanting a DualSense Edge, please don’t miss this chance
The DualSense Edge is Sony’s homemade pro controller for the PS5, and since it launched in 2023, its price has been stupidly and frustratingly stubborn.
I could probably count the times this thing has had a discount with one hand, and most of those have really only been $10 drops.
Best Buy in the US is currently listing the Edge (in both white and black) at $179.99, which is so much more reasonable. If this has been on your list for a while, I’d take this opportunity while you can.
I really do think this is an excellent controller – it’s just a real shame it doesn’t give you more for its price. It’s very easy to find cheaper or similarly priced gamepads that offer four back buttons over the Edge’s 2, and the choice to not put anti-drift thumbsticks in this was certainly a choice. Either way, it’s one I’d recommend, and maybe one of the comfiest controllers this generation.

Controllers with screens are usually a gimmick, but this one bucks that trend
Seriously, it might sound cool for a controller to have an interactive screen on it, but 90% of the time, that ends up being a bit of a useless gimmick that will have you asking, “Why did I pay more for this?”
The Manba One is one of my favorite gamepads of 2025. It has a fairly chunky screen on it, as you’ll see from the image above, and while that might seem like an inconvenience, it actually gives you all the customization power that all the other pro controllers need a totally separate bit of PC software in order to equal.
Even without the big screen, this controller gets the basics right. It’s perfectly comfortable, has four back buttons, Hall effect sticks, a charging stand, some swappable thumbsticks, and all in all, a great feel across loads of gaming genres.
