I gotta be honest! Nothing is perfect. And despite the complaints I would still highly recommend it. You legit cannot go wrong with either; PS5 has some fantastic exclusives and cross-gen titles which take advantage of the console, and SX is starting to get those and has GP/GPU.
Re the SX pad: I think it's the triggers. The rumble/haptic/whatevs on the triggers is really coarse and noisy. But then Hollow Knight's (which I was re-playing for most of yesterday) use of the pad rumble on SX is perfect – I can feel it but never hear it. Ditto a large number of other games. But there are a few, two of which are FH5 and CoD Vanguard, which pull me out of the game due to how crap the triggers (if that's what it really is) sound. Ruining immersion... that's a sin. And yeah, headphones might just be a great workaround to cancelling the pad noise out and may even bring about immersion quicker. Ta for the suggestion.
