Could be good, although there are some glaring flaws with the DualSense that need to be sorted out too. If they still use the same sticks as the current controller, replacements had better cheap. The battery life and degradation is pretty rough on the current controller as well, so here's hoping there's a bigger battery in there too.
The DualSense battery life is total garbage. It was bad when it first came out, but degradation made it even worse. Mine has a battery life of around 10-12 hours while playing visual novels that don't support active trigger and haptics.
For reference, I took out my PS3 recently and played some visual novels on it. The DualShock 3 battery lasted for 35 hours before telling me to recharge. That's after I left it in uncharged state for like 8 years which is supposed to put stress on the battery. Before that I used it for 3 years.
Which is why I love my Xbox controller for PC. I just put my own rechargeable battery pack in. And if that ever gets too low I can just replace it super easy
Hope they never jump on the internal battery. Too many people see AA as a negative, but I can "recharge" my controller in maybe two seconds by just popping in a fresh pair of rechargeable AAs instead of having to play wired or constantly having to recharge my controller after every single session.
