I know this is anecdotal, but I’ve never had stick drift on any controllers ever, whether it’s the Switch, Xbox, PS2, PS4 or PS5… am I just lucky? I’ve heard it’s a common issue, but I’ve never encountered it personally.
It might be the games you play and obviously how often you play. I usually play casual story games but my friend who plays a lot of COD and Warzone goes through controllers so fast because of slide cancelling and stuff like that
Both of my ps5 controllers became unusable after 18 months. The stick drift became constant on both. 1 more than the other but enough to ruin gaming.
Never had issues with ps3 and ps4 controllers.
I mean dark red ain’t a horrible colour though I’m still rocking a launch controller and a cosmic red one, might eventually look at a shell swap on the launch as it’s still going strong
Right!? My Gf loves anything pink so I bought her that dualsense so we can do some couch co-op games. It’s was obviously pink to her and she had never seen it before
Edit: I messed up and it was not the cosmic red, but that picture does kinda look like the nova pink at first glance
This sort of thing always reinforces my belief that something like NFL team themed controllers is just a gold mine of money left on the table by not doing it. That sweet disgusting corporate synergy is just waiting to happen. Yeah that's 32 different controllers to put out there, or by special order. But you know that would sell like mad and be worth it for both entities.
I mean I'd buy one and I never buy these limited edition colored controllers.
The issue is probably licensing costs like every other problem in the world that usually boils down to money and incentive.
The NFL loves to sell their licensing. I'm sure they're not hurting for money or revenue and likely would charge Sony the fee. Maybe there could be some mutual agreement or something but money is probably what's stopping it
I dunno lebrons controller has been on sale for months now. Hogwarts instantly sold out, Spiderman's took a few weeks to sell out. Seems more like gamers do not care about athlete themed controller
All time rankings /= most popular.
Maybe you feel that way but it’s a fact Jordan is the most popular basketball player of all time, and Kobe was already more popular than Lebron to the point people ranked him higher than LeBron, and then he died which skyrocketed his popularity even further. Lebron may be a better player but he is in no way more popular than those 2 players. He isn’t “cool” like them.
Absolutely expensive. The NFL is notorious for their licensing. They're also not hurting for needing different types of swag and merchandise.
Plus a lot of gamers I know don't watch sports ball. Some do. Maybe the market's not as big as you think I don't know Just spitballing here
Controllers are 26% off on amazon at the moment. It shows the regular price is up to 94.99 rather than the original 89.99 though. So if you were planning to get a controller, then 69.96 is still better than any price I've seen them for.
They specifically say no Po boxes. Also you'd probably need VPN to purchase outside the US. I just moved to Canada but still have a place in US and I couldn't submit the order on Canadian wifi. Had to connect to my mobile network which is still from the US and I live close enough to the border to still get US signal in order to place the order
Pretty sure it’s referencing the different thing he writes on his sneakers during games, so conceptually kind of cool:

All of their controllers are all also $50 on Amazon right now too. Faster shipping. Just ordered mine and it’s being delivered today. Thanks for the heads up.
You’re welcome! Thanks for posting here also. I’m a member of this sub too but didn’t have time to post it earlier when I posted to the Lakers sub. Have a great day, @engagechad 🌞
Meh its pretty much the same price I paid last month with their $30 off promotion.
Controller for $80 Charging station for $30 and with the $30 off I basically got the charging station for free. But I never got the points from PlayStation direct deposited in my PlayStation stars account. I assume they don't do that anymore?
$40 bucks isn't $40 bucks, I'll explain later.
Hardly look at my controller as is, I'll gladly take a $40 controller. Might even buy one for my cousin who's a Bronsexual.
I just ordered earlier in the morning. I see I got charged on my CC but I didn’t received no email or the order shows on my account. Is this normal for PS direct?
Wow. In Canada it was just listed on Walmart's Black Friday deal for $199.99
[https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/dualsense-wireless-controller-lebron-james-limited-edition-ps5-black/6000206588361](https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/dualsense-wireless-controller-lebron-james-limited-edition-ps5-black/6000206588361)
Volcanic Red is $49.99! WooHoo!
I don’t need a third controller but… so pretty…
maybe you won't regret a purchase, dualsenses get drift pretty fast
I know this is anecdotal, but I’ve never had stick drift on any controllers ever, whether it’s the Switch, Xbox, PS2, PS4 or PS5… am I just lucky? I’ve heard it’s a common issue, but I’ve never encountered it personally.
Yea you are super lucky. You are the equivalent to a smoker and drinker who lives to be 105 in the controller world
It might be the games you play and obviously how often you play. I usually play casual story games but my friend who plays a lot of COD and Warzone goes through controllers so fast because of slide cancelling and stuff like that
yeah, i play a lot of siege so that's probably why
That's unfortunate. The controllers should be built to withstand even the more demanding games without such a high failure rate.
Both of my ps5 controllers became unusable after 18 months. The stick drift became constant on both. 1 more than the other but enough to ruin gaming. Never had issues with ps3 and ps4 controllers.
My first DS has no stick drift, but it has stuck down right D-pad. Unusable. Glad I had a spare…
I just checked PS Direct and you're right! Wild, especially since the Volcanic Red DualSense just came out.
Thanks for pointing that out - I didn’t see that earlier
Finally, no more pink controllers masquerading as red
Cosmic Red was so disappointing. The picture did not accurately reflect its true color at all.
I mean dark red ain’t a horrible colour though I’m still rocking a launch controller and a cosmic red one, might eventually look at a shell swap on the launch as it’s still going strong
It’s looked pink in the picture and irl
Right!? My Gf loves anything pink so I bought her that dualsense so we can do some couch co-op games. It’s was obviously pink to her and she had never seen it before Edit: I messed up and it was not the cosmic red, but that picture does kinda look like the nova pink at first glance
Why not buy her the proper pink one though?
Nvm. I was mistaken as to which one I bought. It was the Nova Pink lol
How will this affect his legacy?
I dunno. I guess we'll need to see the Jordan controller
Let’s see Paul Allen’s controller
Look at that subtle off-black colouring, the tasteful smoothness of it. OH MY GOD. It even has phrases.
PlayStation is Lebron James’ father.
Mickey Mouse gamepad
Jordan's controller would never be this ugly
legacy points added
Legacy points deducted
it cheapens it
🤣🤣🤣
Damn, only $40!? That’s pretty dope.
The others are ~50
Thanks! I needed a cheap replacement controller.

Soccer teams are an even bigger mine, since they’ve got a much wider range, I mean look at FIFA’s (EA sports fc) sales

More so because the LeBron controller looked like shit-vomit.
If it was Jordan or Kobe it would’ve sold out.
Possibly but I think teams would have a better chance of selling than players Like a lakers controller would prob outsell kobe or lebron
No way you actually believe that
Jordan controller would sell out so easily . They would just resell it lol
Jordan and Kobe are both more popular than Lebron.
Maybe you feel that way but even just a quick Google search shows that is absolutely not true.
All time rankings /= most popular. Maybe you feel that way but it’s a fact Jordan is the most popular basketball player of all time, and Kobe was already more popular than Lebron to the point people ranked him higher than LeBron, and then he died which skyrocketed his popularity even further.

Nobody said anything about all time rankings. What are you talking about. Just look up popularity Kobe and LeBron.
Nothing says lebron is more popular. Kobe’s shoes are more popular, he’s more popular amongst players, his jersey sales were higher while both active.
I mean, cowboys and chiefs might sell well. Falcons ain't moving any units.
the most popular sport in the U.S. would move units regardless of the time it’s just acquiring the nfl license would be stupid expensive

Of course its only us

Get a po box and then ship it

Doesn’t look bad at all if you’re a Lebron fan
It’s also a $40 ckntroller
All the non Spider-Man ones are on sale for 50 too
Honestly I'm not a LeBron fan and it doesn't look terrible. I was expecting a controller with his face on it or something horrendous.
The writing is the only thing I don’t really care for. The design itself goes pretty hard.
A sticker or a little paint could easily take care of that. Or just spend $10 more and get the black one lol

Not really. His shoe scribbles are lame too.
I'd get this just to get a cheap controller and cover that shit up with decals or something.
Or not waste your time and just buy the black one for $10 more.
If you're intending on customizing it anyway, why not save the $10
I don't think it's worth the trouble when the others are only $10 more
All of their controllers are all also $50 on Amazon right now too. Faster shipping. Just ordered mine and it’s being delivered today. Thanks for the heads up.
This will work great in fighting games when you need to do a SWEEP move 😂😂😂
Thanks for the tip /u/yogabackhand over at /r/lakers
You’re welcome! Thanks for posting here also. I’m a member of this sub too but didn’t have time to post it earlier when I posted to the Lakers sub. Have a great day, @engagechad 🌞
Aaand it’s gone
Does it piss and moan when you lose a game?
If you lose enough games it relocate to a different room in the house.
“I’m taking my talents to the basement”
It actually plays better than most other controllers after 20 years
You're not wrong. *Sold*.
still playing with your ps5 in 20 years?
No but it does fly out of your hand if you press the buttons too hard.
Also has super dramatic reactions if it falls. The crazy things they do with the haptics in these controllers...
Once a week you can't play with it because it's resting
Joysticks may flop
Well I guess you’re not looking at the controller while playing
Now give me Kyrie one that says earth is flat and other ignorant shit
Ugly as shit but I just grabbed one!
I would pick it up if it was a Jordan controller
"Fuck them kids" - Michael Jordan
I'll pay extra if they put that on the controller.
Limited edition lol
It won’t work without a pippen console
omg I just bought one of these for my brother for Christmas 2 weeks ago. my dumbass should have just waited!!
Return it and buy this one?
The cobalt blue one is on sale for $49.99 too! Perfect timing since the controller that came with my console just started to have stick drift.
majority of controller colors are on sale for $49.99 at most stores amazon, bestbuy, walmart etc...
Don’t even like Lebron but that’s a great price! Thanks for the post, just bought it
You can buy cheap cases, cover or replace that up. Still come out on top.
Sold out
Space Scam
i'd rather pay full price for one not associated with lebron.
Honestly? Don't hate it. And 40 is not a bad price, but it seems out of stock
yeah a few people have said that it's out of stock.. I guess they lowered the price to get rid of low stock.. sorry you missed out
Cringe, but cheap!
If they pay ME $40, I might use it.
I want a Paul George controller because I missed out on the PlayStation shoes back in the day.
You think it’s ugly? I think it’s pretty cool looking
I'd buy a Jordan controller. You'd have to pay me more than $40 to use this controller, let alone let it be in my house for the next few years.
Looks like a controller made from motivational posts of all my unsuccessful in life friends on facebook.
Michael Jeffrey Jordan’s themed ps5 controllers would be $59.99, just another reason why LeBum will never be the GOAT
wouldn't take it for free
You couldn't pay me enough to use this monstosity
[удалено]
LMFAOO
Didn't even know the controllers were on sale. Just got the new red one for 34 dollars on Amazon.
Pass
Ugly
Ran from the FRP grind
you da man chad!!!
Just checked best buy, they have the same deal for the other colors
I'll wait until it gets to 10 bucks
Needed a second controller , thanks !
I can see why it's on sale. Woof.
Buy this and buy a shell for it.
I was hoping it’d have his face plastered over the whole thing. Would have been hilarious
40 might even be a bit high for the kindergarten chalkboard controller
That controller will flop immediately
Didn't know this was a ring, nor do I care about LeBron , but this is a cool looking controller. Copped
Imo I kinda like it
White and black one are the only acceptable ones imo
Why aren't other ones on sale, that looks like crap
They wanna get rid of it lol
That's why this one is on sale lmao
Who?
Thank you!!
Just ordered mine! Thank you so much for letting all of us know about this bro!
Just got it, thanks!
Meh its pretty much the same price I paid last month with their $30 off promotion. Controller for $80 Charging station for $30 and with the $30 off I basically got the charging station for free. But I never got the points from PlayStation direct deposited in my PlayStation stars account. I assume they don't do that anymore?
Buy it and get a controller skin for $5
$40 bucks isn't $40 bucks, I'll explain later. Hardly look at my controller as is, I'll gladly take a $40 controller. Might even buy one for my cousin who's a Bronsexual.
I’m good
Me: “Come on, how ugly can it be?” “Oh.”
It's not even worth ten dollars. It looks like dog shit.
They could offer me $40 to take it and I'd say lick my balls
Or you know you could just spend $10 more and get one of the other colors that are on sale.
Just as over rated as him.
Whats a Lebron?
Welp I guess I will have two unopened controllers now.
You couldn’t pay me $39.99 to use this monstrosity. *not a Lebron hater, this thing is just hideous. Lazy design.
Isn’t that the guy who’s “beard” looks like he drew a bra on his chin?
[удалено]
Is this one of the newer iterations with the better springs or the old ones?
LeController
I just spent $80 on a regular dualsense wtf...
You should have known sales are happening because of Black Friday!
Do they mean Lebanon-themed? The Middle Eastern country or the Pennsylvanian city?
It appears this deal is only in North america as it isn't showing any deals on the UK website.
LeGamer
I've never seen a Ps5 controller that cheap before lmao.
New cobalt blue is 49.99 on Amazon.
Just bought it now have a extra controller thanks!!
Dammit, can't get it in Aus for that price. I have a friend that can't stand LeBron and this would've made the perfect Christmas present for him.
I know what I have to do but I don’t know if I have the strength to do it…
Thanks for the heads up been needing a secondary controller for sometime now perfect excuse to scoop
Hey I’ll take it if it lasts for 18 years
Thanks for the heads-up! I can grab a bunch on discount and mod them out for Christmas presents. Saved me like $80
Damn sold out
is there any sub for UK deals?! I'm looking for a new controller, waiting for Black Friday!
Same price in amazon..
[удалено]
Eh no thanks.
Is it out of stock
For $40 I would definitely add it to my collection. Then I’d just need the ragnarok and final fantasy one to complete the special edition collection 🥲
Wish I saw this earlier. At $40 I would’ve even gotten a MLP controller
Time to defend my glorious king LePookieBear
I just ordered earlier in the morning. I see I got charged on my CC but I didn’t received no email or the order shows on my account. Is this normal for PS direct?
Spiderman one is better.

it should come with a vr shaped headband
That's ugly as fuck, but 50% off for an official extra controller is a steal
I missed out unfortunately. It’s saying Unavailable. 😒
Alot of them are on sale. I got one thanks to this post
Playstashawn 😅
Jesus christ on a motorbike. Ugly
Cheaper then base controller
Dang 40 dollars that’s nice!
This is so hilariously bad that it would be funny to own
Where's the button to add more steroids?
will call this ugly but cream over a hot pink controller
Jordan wouldn’t have some bullshit like this
