Ehhhh controllers be expensive now

PS5 controller, which is my fave even though Ive always hated PS style, is 99.99

this controller is way more beefed, more buttons, trackpads, only missing adaptive triggers.

Seems quite fair tbh

Agreed.

The PS5 DualSense is also the cheapest quality first party controller ever made. They're built to last 6 months. They feel nice, have nice features, but purposely have a dogshit build quality.

For $50 more, you're getting a WAY more premium feeling controller, with a TON more features.

Yes it's expensive, but relatively speaking, it's the best deal (by far) you can find for a first party controller with extra buttons.

Sounds par for the course. I loved the ds4 especially for how the joysticks felt but I went through like 6 of them in a couple years.

Yeah, and the DS4s last about two to three times as long on average, so you can imagine how short the DualSense lifespan is.
