Dualsense. Xbox is easier but the dualsense feels so much better.

microsoft runs the OS might as well use their controller

Touchpad of the dualsense can do some cool extra stuff, but if I’m using a controller, I’m usually wanting simplicity, and the plug and play universal nature always brings me back to Xbox for the average game.

I keep both around (but I keep an Xbox 360 style hyperkin). Xbox is fun for the buttons being correct, but nothing beats that dualsense feel.

legit feel the ds5 controller has the worst battery ever.

Xbox. I’ve been an Xbox guy since 2003. Never liked the feeling of any of the PS controllers.

Only if it has buttons underneath the controller is my answer

Xbox, simply because the symbols match up. Kinda annoying that for example Switch, Xbox and PS all have different symbols or different placement.

Xbox, because everything supports xinput these days meaning I don’t have to deal with intrusive and unreliable compatibility layers.

I’ve always liked the feel of the Xbox controller most so I use that on PC, even though I haven’t had an Xbox in over a decade, but do have a PS4 and PS5.

I prefer the Dualsense layout, but they just don’t make as many good PC controllers with that setup. I don’t really like the offset sticks.

The things I love about the dual sense aren’t supported by PC games. So I’d say Xbox.

Xbox feels more ergonomic

Xbox cuz Playstation controller left thumb position is unnatural for me
MasterArCtiK
PlayStation controllers are terrible imo, Xbox controllers are all I use

I like the Xbox controller, but stick drift haunts it. My Scuff has held up though! I suggest a good warranty with that controller lol.

DualSense. They’re just better than any other controller in any way possible except battery life maybe.
Also I’m a Linux gamer so compatibility with Sony devices is not an issue.

DS is superior in every way except Xbox having better compatibility.

Dualsense is way more comfy.

Xbox elite 2. The back paddles are so much nicer than face buttons it makes you wonder why they aren’t the default controller layout.
PS controller for sure. Never liked the feeling of offset sticks.
PS5 controller is the best hands down.

Dualsense, because it has gyro. I never want to play a shooting game on a non-gyro gamepad again.
staticvoidmainnull
elite 1 or 2. ps controller layout is very 90s, and is less convenient in windows. games usually have native xbox controller support. i mean, ever wonder why they almost never change their design? max compatibility too.
