It would be fine on a white controller, would look just the same. Why buy a limited edition controller and then cover what it is that makes it different and unique?

Re: Astro Bot DualSense controller

well, different strokes for different folks. no biggie. they merely cover the existing blue handles so I didn't see the problem with it. if it were another color that didn't have a comparable grip then I would have left it alone, but the grips feel so good in the hand. and I put them on so perfectly now they look nice imo and feel even better while playing. the haptic and sound feedback is no way impaired.

Re: Astro Bot DualSense controller

No disagreement. But how is it any different from a standard white controller (that comes with the PS5) with blue grips added?

I guess there is no difference, but i wouldn't put blue on a white controller, mine has black grips on white.

PlayStation opened up orders again, so I decided to try snagging this controller from there and cancelled my Amazon order. At least I can be more optimistic about Sony shipping their own product eventually.

Way to go AT! Let us know how you like it. Frankly, playing Playroom gave the controller more of a workout than I get doing my pushups.

No more wrinkles. My OCD has subsided.

They’re as even as they’re going to be. No more wrinkles makes OldBoy a happy guy.

I keep missing this. It was at GameStop earlier today apparently.

It’s the same thing but with a different eye shape, right?

Re: Astro Bot DualSense controller

I wish they'd ease up on the misleading videos. This isn't one of those Guess Who? "cards don't actually talk" scenarios; a controller with an embedded screen or some sort of motion/movement is plausible.

Especially since they already faked out everyone last year, and still did it again?
