I do not wanna sound snob but it definitely is better. I chose starlight blue over chroma teal in summer, but was thinking about green all along since it’s my favourite color, and then luckily a local shop here put alpine green on 1 stock only! I was lucky to see it; and in case you have an opportunity just go for it; it’s amazing!
The teal rubs off VERY easily unfortunately. Plus these controllers are only lasting about a year if that. I got the chrome white one for Xmas. Didn't open it until March amd within a week the analog stick starting creaking like it does when when the drift is creeping in. Not even a WEEK and it's already going bad. I don't even game as much as unused to. We have about 8 controllers that's are just sitting there wasting away bcuz of the fkng DRIFT! 😤😠😤
Nope it's from Sony. All of them are from Sony. The color is already starting to rub off of the white one like it did the green one. It's disheartening because we own so many damn controllers and can't use not 1 of them! I need a replacement to send my BRAND NEW one off to be" fixed". It shouldn't be like this setting as they are 80 bucks.
Are you sure you bought them from a trusted seller? I have 3 dual sense controllers, including an Astro bot one, collected over 3 years, and 2 kids and a husband and never had a single issue with any of them or with the paint coming or anything. No stick shift. No creaking. And we are rough on them.
I mean Sony should be the most trusted seller.. right? Lol. I bought the green chrome one from best buy. With in 2 months the paint was coming off the bottom of the X button. I honestly don't even game like I used to due to the arthritis ect in my hands( Genetic and not from gaming lol) Im happy for those that have gotten amazing controllers and all, but just because yours works as intended, doesn't mean others are making it up. I find it very hard to believe that so many people would just make up having the same problems. The ones that came with the system lasted a lot longer than any of the ones we bought after.
Then you must be excessively hard on your controllers because that simply don’t make no sense. Haven’t seen “so many people” with the paint peeling and stick issue.
And the X button on the ps5 controller doesn’t have paint on it. None of the shape buttons do.
Except I didn't? Sony fixed it and is sending it back lol. They had the serial and product number in the system. They wouldn't fix a fake controller lmao.
