Said features are mostly gimmicks, and quite frankly the symmetrical stick placement is uncomfortable and outdated by nearly 20 years. Even my $40 8bitdo controller I use for my Switch feels more premium than a $80 PS5 controller. In every other case be it PC, android, or Xbox I am going with the Xbox controller.

I prefer the symmetrical sticks, calling it outdated is just cult of inevitable progress vibes. Also the touchpad is hardly a gimmick when we're talking about PC as a gaming platform. If anything a touchpad should become standard on all controllers.

My biggest complaints with the dualsense controller is that the shape of it starts to feel uncomfortable after long game sessions, the ds4 was better. Also the dpad sucks.

Idk, gyro aiming is pretty sweet.

I'm also not a fan of the symmetrical sticks, but it doesn't bother me a ton, and having gyro aiming as an option is a big value add. I definitely don't pay full price though, I'll only pick it up on sale.
