The PS5 DualSense Marathon Limited Edition is now in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 17,500, at our Old Mutual Building store on Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. This limited-edition PlayStation 5 gamepad carries the full DualSense hardware set: haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, a built-in microphone, motion sensors, a touchpad, and USB-C charging. Created with Bungie for the Marathon game that launched on 5 March 2026, the controller wraps standard DualSense internals in a bold two-tone industrial design. Kenyan gamers get a working PS5 controller and a collector piece in one purchase from Mascom International.
Built for PlayStation 5 gamers across Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu, the DualSense Marathon Limited Edition suits players who want a second controller for local co-op, a replacement for a worn pad, or a themed collectible tied to Bungie's Marathon. Many Kenyan gamers share a single controller during EA FC, Call of Duty, or Mortal Kombat sessions, which slows down two-player nights. A second DualSense fixes that. Streamers and content creators building PlayStation channels also pick up the DualSense Marathon Limited Edition for its distinct on-camera look during Twitch and YouTube broadcasts.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that stock only the standard black and white DualSense, Mascom International carries the DualSense Marathon Limited Edition while quantities last. Users consistently report that the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback change how games like Gran Turismo 7 and Astro Bot feel in the hand. At Mascom International, we're seeing steady demand for limited-run PlayStation accessories from collectors and daily players alike. Visit our Nairobi CBD store to hold the DualSense Marathon Limited Edition before buying, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the DualSense Marathon Limited Edition controller
What makes the DualSense Marathon Limited Edition different from a standard DualSense?
The core hardware is identical; the difference is the design and availability. The Marathon Limited Edition uses the same haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, built-in microphone, and motion sensors as the standard DualSense, so gameplay features match exactly. What changes is the look: a two-tone industrial finish with fractured graphics and high-contrast accents created with Bungie for the Marathon game. It also ships in limited quantities, which makes it a collector item. At KSh 17,500 from Mascom International, you get full DualSense function plus a themed design.
Does the DualSense Marathon Limited Edition work with PS4 or only PS5?
This controller is built for the PlayStation 5 and does not run PS4 games. Sony designed the DualSense hardware, including haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, specifically for the PS5, so PS4 consoles will not recognise it for gameplay. If you own a PS5, whether the disc or digital model, the DualSense Marathon Limited Edition pairs quickly over USB-C or Bluetooth. For PS4 owners, Mascom International stocks the DualShock 4 instead. Confirm your console model before ordering, and our team on +254 708 852 521 will help you pick correctly.
Can I use this controller on PC or my phone?
Yes, the DualSense Marathon Limited Edition connects to Windows PCs, Mac computers, and Android or iOS phones through a USB-C cable or Bluetooth. This lets Kenyan gamers use one pad across a PS5 and a gaming laptop, common for students at USIU and Strathmore who game between classes. Some features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers work fully only in supported PC titles, while basic button and stick input works everywhere. Mobile players streaming through PS Remote Play over Safaricom or Airtel fibre can also pair it directly.
How long does the DualSense battery last per charge?
The DualSense holds a built-in rechargeable battery rated for roughly 7 to 12 hours of play per charge, depending on how heavily haptic feedback and adaptive triggers fire during a game. Action titles with constant vibration drain faster than slower strategy games. Charging happens over the USB-C port, and a full top-up takes about three hours. For long weekend sessions, many Nairobi gamers keep a USB-C cable plugged in so the Marathon Limited Edition charges while they play. A power bank works for mobile sessions too.
Is the KSh 17,500 price worth it for the Marathon Limited Edition in Kenya?
For collectors and daily PS5 players, yes. A standard DualSense sells in a similar range in Kenya, so the Marathon Limited Edition adds a themed design at close to the same cost while quantities last. Limited-edition PlayStation controllers often hold or gain value once stock runs out, which matters for collectors. For a plain second controller with no interest in the design, the standard version is fine. At Mascom International, the KSh 17,500 price includes a 6-month warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery countrywide.
What are haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in practical terms?
Haptic feedback is precise vibration that changes texture based on the game: you feel gravel differently from mud, or rain differently from gunfire. Adaptive triggers are the L2 and R2 buttons that add resistance, so drawing a bow or braking a car pushes back against your finger. Together they make supported PS5 games feel physical rather than flat. Titles like Astro Bot, Gran Turismo 7, and Returnal use both heavily. The Marathon Limited Edition includes the same trigger and vibration hardware as every DualSense.
Does the controller have a built-in microphone for online play?
Yes, the DualSense includes a built-in microphone and a mute button on the front, so you can talk during online matches without a headset. This helps casual Kenyan players jumping into Call of Duty Warzone or EA FC lobbies who do not own a gaming headset yet. Sound quality suits quick team calls rather than full streaming. A 3.5mm headset jack sits at the bottom for anyone who wants clearer audio. The Marathon Limited Edition carries the same microphone and jack layout as the standard pad.
How do I pay and receive the controller in Kenya?
Order the Marathon Limited Edition by phone on +254 708 852 521, by email at info@mascomintl.com, or through www.mascomintl.com, and pay on arrival. You pay only once the controller reaches you, which removes the risk of paying upfront to an unknown seller. Nairobi and nearby areas get same-day delivery; other major towns receive it within one business day. You can also walk into Mascom International at Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, test the controller, and pay by M-Pesa or cash in person.

Battery and USB-C Charging
- Built-in rechargeable battery gives roughly 7 to 12 hours per charge depending on game intensity.
- USB-C charging port matches modern phones, so one cable type covers controller and handset.
- Full charge takes about three hours from empty using a standard USB-C cable.
- Charge-and-play works while plugged in, so a dead battery never stops a session.
- Power banks top up the pad during mobile gaming or long matatu commutes.
- Battery level shows on the PS5 control centre, giving warning before a mid-match shutdown.
Motion and Touch Input
- Built-in accelerometer and gyroscope handle motion aiming and steering in games that support it.
- Touchpad on the front accepts swipes and taps used for maps and inventory in many titles.
- Motion controls fine-tune aim in shooters, adding accuracy beyond the analog sticks alone.
- Touchpad click doubles as an extra button, handy for menu-heavy games.
- Motion sensing suits racing and flight games where tilting the pad steers the vehicle.
- Both input methods work identically to every DualSense, so no relearning is needed.
Audio and Communication
- Built-in microphone lets players talk in online matches without buying a separate headset.
- Front mute button silences the mic instantly during private moments or background noise.
- 3.5mm headset jack at the base connects wired earphones for clearer party chat.
- Built-in speaker plays certain game sounds directly from the pad for added feedback.
- Microphone suits quick team calls in Warzone and EA FC rather than full streaming.
- Audio controls sit within reach, so muting and volume never interrupt gameplay.
Design, Build, and Grip
- Two-tone Marathon design uses high-contrast colours and fractured graphics created with Bungie.
- Textured grips and triggers hold steady during sweaty sessions in Kenya's warmer coastal climate.
- Weight and balance match the standard DualSense, so the feel stays familiar in hand.
- Light bar around the touchpad shows player colour and in-game status during multiplayer.
- Limited-edition production means stock is finite, adding collector value once sold out.
- Rounded shell and contoured handles reduce hand strain over long weekend gaming sessions.
