The GameStar team is mostly satisfied:As part of this article, we asked our PS5 players internally whether they had encountered any problems with their PS5 controller.

So far everyone is happy with it and no one has a problem with Stick Drift. However, one problem that all colleagues agree on is the Dualsense's short battery life. Given this, even some colleagues have two controllers so they can quickly switch between them when one needs to be charged.

How does it look for you? Are you happy with your PS5 controller so far, or are there also problems that are bothering you? Feel free to write it to us in the comments!
