Like a painter needs the right set of brushes to create a masterpiece, gamers know that a responsive, durable controller can often mean the difference between triumph and defeat. With games growing ever more immersive in environments and motion control, we\u2019re always on the lookout for the latest controllers that take full advantage of what new games have to offer. (And, preferably, that won\u2019t break down even after some intense gameplay.)<\/p>

The latest controller on our list of must-buys is the PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller<\/a>, which uses haptic feedback to enhance your gaming experience. It sounds like a mouthful, but it\u2019s pretty cool when you break it all down, as we do below. At a hefty 32% discount for the holidays, this is one controller that makes for a great stocking stuffer!<\/p>

A controller that \u201crumbles\u201d in your hands to match what\u2019s happening on-screen, such as your avatar absorbing a hit, isn\u2019t a new thing. These types of controllers have been part of gameplay for a long time, and most modern ones, including previous-generation PS4 controllers, utilize this technology. But the DualSense Wireless Controller<\/a> perfects the technology with dual actuators, which are more precise than the \u201crumble motors\u201d in older controllers and give an extra edge of realism to game situations, whether you\u2019re trudging through rough terrain (the left and right grips pulse as you walk forward) or taking a body blow.<\/p>

But that\u2019s not all. New adaptive triggers also better simulate the resistance and pull of firing a weapon, or offer more resistance to simulate a character getting tired. Put it all together and you have the complete \u201chaptic feedback\u201d package that physically moves you into the middle of the action better than ever before \u2014 and more first and third-party gaming companies are taking advantage of this tech in their games.<\/p>

The PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller<\/a> also sports other useful features, including a built-in microphone to communicate with other players during online sessions and a \u201ccreate\u201d button to record and relive your best gaming moments. Plus, the overall controller design has been given a makeover to provide a more comfortable yet sturdy grip. With over a dozen colors to choose from, you can also add personal flair to your controller. And even better still, you can use it with other devices such as a PC or Mac using a USB cord or Bluetooth connection.<\/p>

Techradar<\/a> raves that the PlayStation DualSense controller<\/a> is \u201cSony\u2019s best PS5 controller yet,\u201d and it\u2019s certainly one of the most revolutionary controllers we\u2019ve seen in a while. As more games take full advantage of the potential of its haptic tech, we expect it\u2019s going to be an ultra-fun controller for years to come. At its current discount, it\u2019s well worth buying a set to go along with a PS5, PC or other gaming device!<\/p>
