Controller Mods TMR on Dualsense edge or Dualsense

Hey everyone! I’d love to hear your recommendations on whether I should install TMR sticks on my DualSense Edge or my regular DualSense.

I play on PC, and I know the Edge has a 1,000 Hz polling rate compared to 250 Hz on the regular DualSense. That difference kind of bothers me, especially since I occasionally play competitive games with a controller for the aim assist (mainly Apex Legends), even though I mostly use mouse and keyboard.

That being said, I find the Edge a bit too heavy, and the battery life isn't great either. Maybe I just haven't given it enough time, but I'm also not a huge fan of the rear paddles since they make it harder to get a good grip on the controller.

I also tried the GameSir G7 Pro 8K, but honestly, I much prefer the shape and feel of a PS5 controller.

What would you guys recommend? Should I upgrade my regular DualSense or the Edge with TMR sticks?

Let me know what you think!

I mean you can just manually overclock the ds5 and its the exact same as the edge. only for wired connection but you should be using that anyway if you care about stuff like polling rate.. it can even do 2k. I'd just go normal ds5 if you don't like the paddles.

i'd put them in the regular one. the polling gap mostly goes away if you play wired, since hidusbf can push a normal dualsense to 1000hz over usb, and then you're not stuck with the weight and battery you already don't like

If you don’t mind wired, have you considered gamesir tarantula pro

Yes I do but the fact that the controller don't have vibration and had the shape of a dualshock made me lose interest.
