The Full Story
LoveBar's deep-dive, written for humans 💕
The standard controller comparison might be the most relatable gaming debate because almost everyone has held one of these. The DualSense is the controller that made people say wow when the PS5 launched, with haptic feedback that turns every game into a sensory experience and adaptive triggers that make pulling a bowstring feel different from pulling a car's accelerator. It has a built-in microphone, a speaker, and a touchpad that some games use brilliantly. The Xbox Wireless Controller responds with arguably the most comfortable ergonomic shape ever designed, a layout that PC gamers have adopted as the default standard, and the practical ability to swap batteries when they die instead of plugging in and waiting. It works with everything from Xbox to PC to phones to tablets without fuss. The DualSense pushes gaming forward with innovation. The Xbox controller keeps gaming simple with perfection of the basics. Neither is wrong, and both feel great in your hands.
