The Astro controller is Sony's official "elite" controller.

Hasn't it been proven these overpriced "progamer" controllers are scams? Like in what significant way are they improving your game experience that a default controller can't achieve.

The original model was horrible. My paddles were loose and wobbly.

The paddles can definitely help. Being able to jump/reload/switch weapons etc. without needing to take a thumb off the right stick helps in a lot of games.

Even something as simple as pressing R3 to execute a manoeuvre would help.

As long as they have the D-pad where the right stick should be they'll never be able to compete with Xbox's controller.

I'm not positive he bought the revision, but I would think he did simply because of how much of a Xbox fanboy he is. He's literally the guy who goes out and buys the new color controllers whenever they are released.

Hopefully this means they'll be standard on the DS5 and not just have repeat functionality.

Also a sign the DS4 should be compatible with the PS5? Microsoft already announced Xbone controllers would work on the Series X, if Sony doesn't do it with the PS5 it's just another thing they're going to get raked over the coals for.

Does this thing include a separate battery so it doesn't chew up the already-sucky DS4 battery life?

I literally pulled the back paddles off mine. They're useless.
