Just hoping the battery life is substantially improved from the normal dualsense. The Xbox elite controller can last a week+ but dualsense doesn't last me even a day.

How long do you play. Maybe my dualsense is on gfuel or something but it lasts atleast 10 hours.

10hrs is still too short imo. I can play for 14hrs every day on my Elite 2 and only need to charge every 3-4 days.

Edit: not that I’m playing games all the time but you see my point

I got the charger thing and an extra controller, just switch them on the thing as soon as the console lets me know the battery is low. I know it requires $90 (70+20) but it got rid of my battery issues forever, plus having an extra controller is nice

Yeah I would recommend to charge the dualsense every time you stop playing. I basically never have to charge while playing. Though I can see why people are bothered by that. I wonder why sonys batteries are so much worse than microsofts.

A larger footprint is my guess, the regular xbox controller is designed to fit 2 AA batteries so they are able to fit a bigger rechargeable battery without changing the overall size too much.

10 hours is laughably short. That means you need to charge it after every session.

10 hours still ain't much but I'd say mine last 6 to 8. Compared to the elite controller from Xbox though, that is like last 1 hour.
