How much do PS5 controllers cost?

At many electronic retail stores, the controller will see buyers forking out roughly R1 600.

Are PS5 controllers waterproof?

Unfortunately, for the couple, PS5 controllers are not waterproof as they were designed to be used in dry environments.

Sony has not advertised water-resistance features for the PlayStation's latest controller.
