Today's best Black Friday PS5 controller deals in the US
- DualSense: $20.99 off at Amazon
- Chroma Pearl: save $20 at Best Buy
- Chroma Indigo: save $20.99 at Amazon
- DualSense Edge: $189.99 at Walmart
- Third-party: Victrix Pro BFG sale at Amazon
Of course, the original white DualSense Wireless Controller model is on sale. While I would recommend that you go for a more exciting color given the discounts, this is still a decent price if you're after the plainest option.
This is a solid deal if you're just after a quick spare or replacement pad. The Midnight Black DualSense Wireless Controller is currently discounted at Amazon, letting you pick up this slick black variant for less.
The lovely eye-catching Cosmic Red has also had its price slashed, which is great news if you've had your eye on one.
The cute Starlight Blue is also on sale at Amazon, though it's not quite hitting the lowest-ever price of $49 that we saw over Black Friday back in 2022. Given the recent DualSense price rises, however, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the best price we get.
If you're picking up a controller to play Call of Duty (or any other FPS game) on PS5, then I would definitely recommend the Gray Camouflage DualSense. It's one of the models that I have at home and I absolutely love the military look.
Not the cheapest DualSense right now, but still a new lowest-ever price for the shiny Sterling Silver model.
Surprisingly the recently released Chroma Pearl model is discounted too. You can save $20.99 on it over at Amazon, taking it down to a new lowest-ever price.
The attractive Chroma Indigo is also on sale, again down to a new lowest-ever price. This edition features a shiny design with blue and purple elements.
Here's a cheeky $5.99 discount on the Fortnite Limited Edition DualSense, which is easily one of the most sought-after special editions. Although a modest discount, this is still a new lowest-ever price.
A rare discount on the DualSense Edge here, letting you pick it up for $10 below RRP... Hopefully this is just the beginning, with even more discounts on this high-end gamepad to come.
The PDP Victrix Pro BFG is an excellent PS5 controller and is currently heavily discounted at Amazon. On top of remappable buttons and trigger locks, its modular design allows for a high level of customization.
If you're a massive Call of Duty fan, then this special Call of Duty edition might be more up your street. It's $10 off right now, which is far from its lowest-ever price, so definitely keep an eye out for further discounts.
The Nacon Revolution 5 Pro is another third-party option to consider now that it's been discounted by $50. It scored highly in our review thanks to its top-notch build quality and non-slip grips.
You can currently save $30 on the Backbone One 2nd Gen PlayStation Edition. This PlayStation branded mobile controller is absolutely perfect for PS Remote Play.

The regular white DualSense is on sale at Very right now. This is just above it's lowest-ever price of £38.99 that we saw at Amazon last year, so an absolutely stellar discount if you're after a replacement pad.
If you would rather go for the clean Midnight Black model, then you're in luck as it has also been discounted by £20.
The Camo Grey DualSense doesn't receive price cuts that often, so this Black Friday discount is worth paying attention to. I have this model at home and find that its aesthetic is a great fit for Call of Duty.
The Galactic Purple DualSense is also on offer, again with another £20 discount. Currys is also currently offering free next day delivery on all of these models, which is a great bonus.
You know the drill by now. The Cosmic Red DualSense is on sale with another £20 discount. In addition to the free next day delivery, you can secure an extra 10% off when you add on another controller with the code PLAYER2 at checkout.
Starlight Blue? Don't mind if I do, especially when it's £20 off. This discount is currently matching the lowest-ever price at Amazon, where it is out of stock, so is a great deal.
Another £20 saving, this time on the bright Nova Pink DualSense. This is also eligible for the free next day delivery at Currys.
My favorite deal so far is this incredible discount on the recently released Chroma Pearl DualSense Wireless Controller. This is the lowest price we've even seen on this colorway and an absolutely bargain for a great looking gamepad.
Another top deal right now with this hefty discount on the Chroma Indigo variant. Again, this is the lowest price we've seen yet and well worth picking up if you're after this particular colorway.
This is a decent price cut on one of the coolest DualSense colorways, the shiny Sterling Silver. It's only a few pounds above it's lowest-ever price, making it a great deal if you want a controller that stands out from the crowd.
The PDP Victrix Pro BFG is also discounted in the UK, letting you save £40 on the pro controller. Compatible with PS5 and PS4, this option excels thanks to its customizable modular layout, plus other premium features.
This is a new lowest-ever price on the DualSense Edge and one deal that I expect to sell out quickly. With just over £30 off, the super premium Sony peripheral has never been cheaper.
