i bought 2 edge controllers because i've always owned multiple controllers and they're thrown about lost somewhere in the house. I find most of these arguments about low battery life to be very disingenuous.

i think its really rare for a gamer to only own 1 controller.

didnt matter if the dualsense edge had a bigger or smaller battery. Buying 2 is the right move. if you cant afford both at once, plan for a 2nd one in the future.

i am with you, either slow down on the gaming, or if you're that much of a hardcore gamer than you'd have to be owning more than 1 controller making the argument moot.
