PS5 Dualsense Edge
I cannot add a PROS and CONS until the controller is officially out and I buy it and actually use it. SO far these are the features that have been announce,
PS5 Firmware support for PS5, PC, iOS, Android
Removable entire Thumb Sticks socket
Trigger Switches and ALSO will still have Trigger haptic feedback (Somehow)
2 Back Paddles (Very odd, idk if they will be Double-Switch Paddles for Up/Down variable command)
I would expect the Battery to be upgraded significantly
The Price is ???, Will it Include a Case ???, Charging Station inside the case ???

MY THOUGHTS
So far, I like the SCUF for a PlayStation specific controller but I cannot justify the Price, especially after the Xbox Elite Series 2 offers so much for way less. The ELITE SERIES 2 is outstandingly the Champion of PRO Controllers so far and I think it will remain this way. I still use the PS5 REFLEX Pro for PS Dualsense haptic compatible titles and Fighting games.
I hope the Dualsense Edge impresses me with additional features, spare parts, a good Case and a Price tag that’s lower than $175. With that alone it would be a better option than the Scuf even thou it only has 2 Back Paddles (which could be a deal breaker for most).
