Nowadays, the market for computer and console hardware and accessories is a massive one! There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different accessories and equipment for consoles on the market, especially those from Sony. It’s hard to find your way through all this. That’s why, today, we are going to focus on PlayStation controllers. What’s the best pad for your PS5? Is DualSense the only sensible choice? We answer these and many other questions because today we have something extra for you! We present a thorough ranking of the best PS5 controllers available on the market in 2022! Not only that, but we have a lot to talk about, so there’s no need to prolong! Let’s get started!

Sony DualSense dedicated controller for PlayStation 5

Let’s start with dedicated hardware. There’s absolutely no doubt that the official PlayStation 5 controller is the best and most popular choice for most gamers today. The Sony DualSense features an ergonomic design, a built-in microphone, adaptive triggers that allow developers to better tailor it to specific game actions, and, finally, haptic technology that makes it work phenomenally in most games. But let’s not forget that the games that will benefit most from it are those developed by Sony’s in-house studios. Because they are constructed exactly for this controller. In those, we will feel the strongest effect of the haptic technology, which in the PlayStation controller replaces the already worn-out classic vibrations known for example from Sixaxis or previous models of DualShock type. A given technology utilizes the sense of touch for the best possible reproduction of individual movements in gameplay. Thanks to this, we can, for example, distinguish whether our avatar is moving on a hard surface or a watery swamp. Sony DualSense is included by default with the console, and getting it would be a miracle, but nothing is stopping you from buying it separately. The question is whether it’s worth it when there are plenty of equivalents on the market that uses similar technology and come with additional options. What are they? You find it out in our PS5 controllers ranking below.

PS5 controller ranking of 2022 – AimControllers or SCUF? 

As you can see both the SCUF and AimControllers are the latest generation of controllers that will satisfy any gamer. That being said, the PS5 controller from AimControllers comes out on top due to the extra customisation options, the amount of colours, and extra features such as AimGrip, or Smart Triggers and Smart Bumpers, as well as the price/quality ratio! It cannot be said that you will be disappointed if you buy the SCUF controller, as they are very similar in terms of technology, but you will pay much more for this one.
