Worthless if it doesn't have parity with Sony's controllers. No haptics or adaptive triggers kills an otherwise good controller.
 
Nacon pro 2 revolution was one of the best controller i ever used but that is a steep price...

Maybe when it goes down to 100 dollars.
 


Something that we used to have that was discarded so more money could be made is coming back? Oh man! And it's only $200? Fuck off.
 
Why not just go all the way you want to go anyway and make it $1000.

Fucking $200 for a fucking controller. I hate this timeline.

Bring one of the rare few (if this forum is any indication) who prefers asymmetrical sticks, couldn't care less about haptics, and has replaced multiple controllers due to drift…

This product appeals to me. Will have to learn more how well it works first though.
 
I'm concerned that those grips are rubber. If they are, the rubber will deteriorate and go sticky. I don't want that, I don't care if it's modular.

That aside, functionally it sounds near-perfect. I'll see how reviews are first, though.
 
People that pay $200 for a controller were not beaten enough as a child.
If you have the money and it's your hobby, why not? Some people spent tens of thousands on cars. I'd say 200 is pretty affordable even for regular folk. Assuming the build quality is good, it's probably cheaper than constantly replacing a 70 controller with known issues.

This is true. I wasn't beaten at all. To celebrate I bought two Edge controllers in case one runs out of charge. And I love them.
