pulse 3d wireless is the best
I copped the OG ones and then upgraded to the Elite version and haven't had any issues or bad experiences. They just work. Plus the 3d audio on certain games

Currently it can only be paired to 1 device at a time, so you gotta go through the process of unpairing it from 1 device to connect to another. The update will allow it to be paired to 4 devices at the same time, so you dont have to unpair it and plug the controller into the ps5 to switch devices.

What do you think about the rumour that the PS6 will be cheaper, but also less powerful, than the next X-Box? Along with having a portable option that plays PS5 games.

Smart, (if true) power doesn’t win anymore. We saw that this generation. The lead platform will have the best optimization. Also, if you don’t want the console to start at $700 dollars it has to be.

What does less power mean? If the graphics/frame rates are worse, it will matter to people but if its some technical shyt that really doesn't matter in the end, no one will care. I remember XSX being claimed as the more powerful console too.

Copped the Chroma Pearl Dualsense earlier, this colorway is beautiful.
The triggers, joysticks, and bottom half might turn yellow in a few months

Based on the rumored specs that will be subject to change, Sony will concentrate on substantially upgrading the cpu, ram, and ssd and then upgrading the gpu until the system becomes too expensive. The cpu is rumored to be AMD zen 6 or beyond which is a substantial upgrade and will advance gameplay in terms of physics, animation, destructibility, etc. The difference in graphics will still be substantial because almost all of the costs of the ps5 went into the SSD and the system being able to do 4k at a reasonable frame rate native or upscaled and the ps6 will do that no problem by building off of the ps5 technology and ps5 pro upscaling allowing concentration on other aspects of graphics other than achieving 4k natively or with upscaling. Therefore there would be no need to spend on the gpu the way Sony did with the ps5 gpu to get substantially better graphics. The bonus will be cross gen being way better compared to now due to the base console not being the very outdated ps4.
The ps5 pro is a niche device and the ps6 won't be so using the ps5 pro to predict the ps6 price as $700 or beyond is not reasonable and the ps5 pro will be discontinued before or shortly after the release of the ps6 with possible price cuts anyway. The ps6 will need to be at worst $500 without an attachable disc drive to sell as well or better than the ps5 in the same amount of time. $600 without an attachable disc drive would be a gamble after what occurred with the ps3 at $600 though I believe $500 is the cutoff for the consumers Sony is targeting. $500 is also the price Sony is targeting according to rumors. $700 or beyond without an attachable disc drive would definitely not result in the sales being as good or better than the ps5 in the same amount of time.

The bottleneck this gen has been the CPU. A lot of these newer games are very CPU dependent so having Zen 6 in there would be a huge difference. But yeah the series X was more powerful than the PS5 but Sony developed the PS5 much better in a sense that the power difference was not noticeable to even a lot of PS5 games running better that the series. But we also have to start mentioning the developers for these games because a lot of it comes down to how much effort they put into optimization. We've reached the point of diminishing returns on the graphics forefront. It's time for them to start thinking outside the box with world building/design as well as NPC/enemy A.I.
I just started this the other day. Trying to knock out the back log before Yotei comes out. But yeah...the sound design on this game had me creeped out trying to play it at night in the darkSilent Hill 2
