Sony's Days of Play sale is wrapping up fast, and one standout deal on a limited-edition DualSense controller just dropped to its lowest price yet. The Marathon edition, featuring neon green accents and a futuristic aesthetic inspired by the game, is now available for $54.05 with free shipping through Newegg's newly launched AliExpress storefront.
That price undercuts every other retailer by more than $10. Most shops are selling the same controller for $64 after a $20 discount, but Newegg's exclusive AliExpress listing brings it down further. The catch: this deal exists only on the AliExpress storefront and won't appear on Newegg's main website. Inventory could evaporate fast, and the sale window closes tomorrow at the latest.
The Marathon design lives up to the hype visually. Neon highlighter green pops against the black base, with fragmented decals and informational text layered throughout. It's the kind of controller that looks sharp sitting next to your TV even if you never touch Marathon itself.
Beyond the limited-edition paint job, the DualSense packs features that justify the controller's place as a top choice among PS5 owners. Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers deliver tactile responses that games like Astro's Playroom turned into a selling point from day one. A built-in microphone and speaker let you chat without a headset, while the integrated touchpad handles everything from menu navigation to in-game interactions. Motion sensing through the gyroscope and accelerometer rounds out the package.
For PC gamers, the DualSense has proven surprisingly versatile. Both wired USB Type-C and Bluetooth wireless connections work seamlessly, and Steam's support for haptic feedback and adaptive triggers means you're getting the full feature set on PC too. It's become a popular choice for players who want a modern gamepad without the Xbox controller tax.
Days of Play runs through the end of this week, with Sony discounting multiple DualSense colors and bundles. But the Marathon edition at this price is unlikely to stick around long. If you've been eyeing it, now's the moment.
