Table of Contents
Introduction
The PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller has quickly become renowned for its innovative features, and this purple version (model number CFIZCT1WPURPLE/CFI-ZCT1W) is no exception. I’ve spent the last several weeks putting this controller through its paces, playing a variety of PS5 titles to give you a comprehensive and honest review.
Features
Beyond its striking purple aesthetic, the DualSense boasts several key features that set it apart. The adaptive triggers provide unique resistance depending on in-game actions, from the satisfying tension of drawing a bow in a hunting game to the subtle resistance of accelerating a car. The haptic feedback is incredibly nuanced, allowing for a more immersive experience than ever before. The improved sticks feel responsive and comfortable during extended gaming sessions. The rubberized grip ensures a secure and comfortable hold, even during intense gameplay.

Performance
In terms of performance, the DualSense consistently delivers. The adaptive triggers truly shine in games designed to utilize them. The difference between firing a light pistol and a heavy shotgun is immediately apparent and adds a level of immersion previously unattainable. The haptic feedback enhances the overall experience, providing subtle vibrations that add weight and realism to actions. The improved D-pad is a welcome addition for fighting games, making directional inputs crisp and accurate. I experienced no noticeable lag during wireless gameplay, even in fast-paced action games. The battery life is also impressive; I consistently got over 10 hours of playtime on a single charge.
However, it’s worth noting that not all games fully utilize the DualSense’s features. Some games offer minimal haptic feedback or don’t make use of the adaptive triggers. This isn’t necessarily a flaw of the controller itself, but rather a reflection of game developers’ varying levels of implementation.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Immersive haptic feedback, responsive adaptive triggers, comfortable grip, long battery life, striking design, plug-and-play functionality.
- Cons: Not all games fully utilize the advanced features, the price point might be slightly high for some consumers.
Final Verdict
The DualSense Wireless PS5 Controller in Purple (CFIZCT1WPURPLE/CFI-ZCT1W) is a fantastic addition to any PS5 owner’s arsenal. The innovative features, coupled with the comfortable design and robust performance, make it a joy to use. While not all games take full advantage of its capabilities, the overall gaming experience is significantly enhanced by the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. If you’re looking for a premium controller that elevates your PS5 gaming experience, I highly recommend it. The purple color is a nice touch as well.
