I am 99% sure that is a feature. I would say a modest number of games on the PS4 connected the DS4's LEDs to what was happening in game; the LEDs would turn red and blue if you were being chased by police for example, in Witcher 3 the LEDs changed based on what sign you currently had equipped, etc.The controller, like it turned red one time, and then it was gold another time. I couldn't figure that out.

Those LED settings carried over to the DualSense for PS4 games, not sure of any native PS5 game using it so far.
What game was turning red and gold for you?
How can they launch device thats becomes faulty so soon? Dont they test the controller for hundreds of hours or somethimg?
Yeah in the system settings you can either control the strength of the triggers and haptics or turn it off altogether.
Very scientific...not
What are the issues with the firmware that is keeping from playing their systems?The more pressing discussion would be why Sony has not managed to push out a firnware update for several weeks now and a lot of people still can't use their ps5 due to various issues.

Hmm..hope they sort it out, but what does this mean:Stuff like the CE-108255-1 error that pops up for some people in every game and prevents them from playing anything, yet Sony seems to be 50:5p on taking consoles jn or saying it's a firmware problem that will get fixed.
The discussion has died down quite a bit in the last weeks but I would assume that's mainly because the "big problems" are known by now and everybody is waiting for a) a fix or b) Sony acknowledging it's a hardware issue and sending out replacement units
?
Everything I've seen so far from people who had the CE-108255-1 error was solved by clearing the caches and reinstalling the game.Stuff like the CE-108255-1 error that pops up for some people in every game and prevents them from playing anything, yet Sony seems to be 50:5p on taking consoles jn or saying it's a firmware problem that will get fixed.

Could be a bad batch for my controllers as both were from the pre-launch. Hopefully these can get cycled out quickly since the damage is done very soon after first use.Agreed. If it were simply a longevity issue, it wouldn't be happening within a month of the product's release. Could be a bad batch, early adopter tax, or something else entirely. Luckily, I have a spare controller, but accessories are only covered by a three-month warranty here, so I hope it doesn't keep happening, especially after said period.

Yeah it's definitely a good idea to avoid rest mode.Stuff like external drives causing problems, rest mode causing problems etc has still not been addresses either.
(im not saying those issues are as widespread as some doomposts want us to believe, but the system is definitely on the unstable side atm)
as far as the "dropping like flies" hyperbole" I see you work in the media? Isn't that your professions wheelhouse? You should be used to colleagues haveing clickbait headlines.
My sticks started drifting after the last controller update. Waiting for the next one to see if they fix it but I'm getting kind of irritated.
Funny thing for me is that my launch joy cons still don't drift but my month old Dualsense does. What luck....
I know it is ymmv but I am surprised not to have run into rest mode issues, which is all I use.
I thought the same while playing Immortals and today it happened...Playing immortals right now and the way the triggers click and sputter when using the zoom vision to tag objects makes me really nervous. Hopefully irrational on my part.
Used it for over 150 hours with no issues but not much time in the grand scheme of things.
really my guy

I think you accidently quoted me since my post is from the PS OT and 2 week ago at that.
Nothing to do with the DualSense. 😂
That's not a gaming news website/blog you are verified as editor-in-chief as? What does an editor-in-chief do in IT? Serious questionI actually work in IT, so... Hmm. Click baiting titles are annoying full stop, and this is no different.
More scientific than none at all.
Plenty of people have zero issues with Joycon drift either. Doesnt mean it's not a major problem.Zero issues with my Dualsense, and I've put a ton of hours in Miles Morales and WRC9 (two of the games with the most trigger resistance, IMO).
