First connection to a PS5: plug the controller into the console using the supplied USB data cable, wait a few seconds for the system to detect the device, then press the Home button to complete pairing. Ensure your PS5 is set to allow controllers over USB in the console settings before attempting the initial link.

Lighting and cosmetics: selectable RGB illumination with nine solid colors and four dynamic patterns lets you tailor the look to your setup. Lighting modes are adjustable so you can cycle through static hues, breathing, wave or reactive effects to suit the mood during long sessions.

Hall Effect joysticks: magnetic sensor sticks provide high-resolution input and reduced wear compared with conventional potentiometer designs, helping mitigate stick drift over prolonged use. The smoother, more consistent input is especially useful for FPS, racing and sports titles where fine aim and steering matter.

Programmable rear buttons and macros: two assignable back buttons (M1/M2) let you map combos or single presses to actions without shifting your thumbs from the sticks. The macro system supports multi-button sequences to simplify complex inputs in competitive or repetitive gameplay.

Turbo and rapid-fire: supports both Auto and Manual Turbo with three selectable rates (4Hz, 8Hz and 16Hz) for rapid repeat presses. Useful for grinding, farming or any action that benefits from continuous button activation without repeated manual pressing.

Motion controls and haptics: a built-in 6-axis sensor (gyroscope + accelerometer) enables motion-based aiming and steering in compatible games. Dual vibration motors deliver tactile feedback for impacts and terrain changes to enhance immersion.

Connectivity and inputs: connects wirelessly over Bluetooth to PS5 Pro/Slim/Standard models, PC, Steam Deck, Mac and Android devices; initial PS5 setup requires a wired USB connection. A 3.5mm audio jack and mute function let you plug in headsets and silence chat quickly. The controller includes a USB-C data cable, quick-start guide and warranty card.

Construction and size: constructed from textured ABS plastic with soft rubberized grips for improved handling, reinforced shoulder triggers and metal-like trigger plates. Typical dimensions are approximately 160 x 100 x 60 mm and weight around 260 g, designed to match familiar controller ergonomics for extended comfort.

VerdictA well-equipped third-party PS5-style controller that focuses on precision and customization. Hall Effect sticks and programmable back buttons make it strong for competitive play, while RGB, gyro support and Turbo modes add versatility for casual and action gaming across multiple platforms.

Kyuchul Rhee 5/5

Comfortable grip and eye-catching lights

Fits my hands well and feels solid. The RGB presets are fun to cycle through, but performance is what matters — buttons are snappy and the Hall Effect sticks aim smoothly. Feels more premium than I expected.

Edith Ferguson 5/5

Gift was a hit with my son

Bought this for my son and he uses it daily. He especially likes the lighting and says it’s one of his favorite controllers.

Romaine 5/5

Back buttons saved my loadout

I set up a combo on an M button and it triggers exactly as I planned. Having multi-action macros on the rear makes some games much simpler and faster to play.
