Today, we are thrilled to unveil the DualSense Edge wireless controller for PlayStation 5, the first-ever high-performance, ultra-customizable controller developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Designed to give you an edge in gameplay by allowing you to create custom controls, the DualSense Edge wireless controller invites you to craft your own unique gaming experience tailored to your playstyle.

The DualSense Edge wireless controller features a number of hardware and software-based customization options for creating a completely personalized controller experience, including:

● Ultra-customizable controls: You can make the DualSense Edge wireless controller uniquely yours by remapping or deactivating specific button inputs and fine-tuning your aim by adjusting stick sensitivity and dead zones (the distance your analog stick moves before it’s recognized in a game). In addition, each trigger is adjustable with options to tailor travel distance and dead zones to your preference. For example, you can manually reduce travel distance of the triggers for faster inputs in competitive FPS games or reduce the dead zone for precise throttle control in racing games.

● Ability to save multiple control profiles: Once you’ve found your ideal control settings, you can save them to unique profiles and swap between them on the fly. With the DualSense Edge wireless controller, you’ll always have your preferred controls for your games ready to go, whether you’re facing Norse gods and monsters in God of War Ragnarök, or rival players in an online battle royale.

● On-controller user interface: The dedicated Fn button allows you to easily adjust your setup while staying focused on the in-game action – quickly swap between your pre-set control profiles, adjust game volume and chat balance, and access the controller profile settings menu to set up and test new control iterations while in game.

● Changeable stick caps and back buttons: Three types of swappable stick caps (standard, high dome, and low dome) help you stay comfortable in game while maintaining grip and stability. The two swappable sets of back buttons (half-dome and lever) can be configured to be any other button input, putting more essential controls at your fingertips.

● Replaceable stick modules: Play longer with the ability to fully replace each individual stick module on the controller (replacement stick modules will be sold separately).

● Built-in DualSense wireless controller features: The DualSense Edge wireless controller retains the signature comfort and immersive experience of the DualSense wireless controller when playing supported games, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, built-in microphone, motion controls, and more.

In addition to the included stick caps and back button sets, the DualSense Edge wireless controller comes with a USB Type-C braided cable, which uses a connector housing to lock into the controller so it’s much less likely to slip out at a crucial moment. The included carrying case, which keeps your DualSense Edge wireless controller and components together and organized in one place, allows you to charge the controller via USB connection while it’s stored in the case.

Hall effect sensors or bust.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Its oficial of Playstation?

 

[rofif]

Looks almost the same.
Dualsense is already good.
But I will feel not ok putting 150 (or whatever it is) for a controller with built-in lion battery. These things just age and die pretty quickly.
And paddles are too much

 

[Larxia]

Hall effect sensors or bust.

Yeah, high end controllers really need... high end quality. If it's something that can be broken out of the box like the Elite controller, it's not worth it.

 

[mitch1971]

Whats the difference?

 

[Zathalus]

I want it now. Please and thank you.

 

[Thabass]

Its oficial of Playstation?

Yes. An official elite controller by Sony.

 

[TheGecko]

Great, Even bigger and heavier, Just what it needed.

 

[Smiggs]

No price or any information on this thing yet? Could be interesting.

 

[GHG]

This industry at the moment man... We don't need more controllers, we need more games.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

I need it.

 

[rofif]

This industry at the moment man... We don't need more controllers, we need more games.

seriously.... and the controller looks essentially the same. Dualsense is already amazing aside from poor battery life.
If it had AA compartment... you could use AA, rechargables, Play'n'charge kit and other solutions.
And in 10 years, good luck finding new not chinese battery for your 150usd controllers.

Man, this sucks. In 30 years, I will be able to take out my ps5 from the close but the controller will be dead as fuck, so no playing.

 

[vodka-bull]

So they're taking care of Stick drift by making removable sticks?

 

[nowifenolife]

It looks like there's only two back buttons/Paddles.... Id really like 4

The dualsense can't be used wired on ps5? (I'm not saying it's ideal, just, if there's no other solution, there would still be that)

 

[Loxus]

Looks like possibly 4 new buttons.
2 back buttons and 2 buttons under the analog sticks?

 

[rofif]

It doesn't matter. Wire is just to charge.
The batter must keep ANY charge for controller to use wired.. I think so

 

[Tarnpanzer]

This.

One for each face-button. Why only two?

 

[nowifenolife]

I think those buttons under the sticks are what's used to take the sticks out

Wow really? That sucks then, but it sounds surprising.

 

[Black_Stride]

Whats the difference?

Configurable Analog sticks and Paddles on the back/underside.

 

[jm89]

Not a single mention of better battery life on the blog post ugh, was hoping they would bump it up atleast a little bit.

 

[nowifenolife]

This.

Do you think maybe there is 4 but we arnt seeing it? Doubt it, those Paddles only look like they can be pushed downwards, maybe they can be pushed upwards too? Nah that would be too awkward

Confirmed less than the actual PS5 Dualsense controller.

Edit: /s

 

[solidus12]

Improve the battery life, you CUNTS.

 

[Forsete]

Will wait for reviews, but it looks very interesting.

Dualsense is a great controller, and if this improves on it.

Introducing the DualSense Edge wireless controller, the ultra-customizable controller for PlayStation 5

First look at the DualSense Edge wireless controller with customizable controls, changeable stick caps, back buttons, and more.

play.st

 

[Tarnpanzer]

Paddles on the underside.

Who came up with this stupid shit?

The reason for paddles is to not have your thumbs get of the sticks. Why does this controller have two extra buttons underneath the sticks for which you actually get your thumbs off the sticks to press them. Makes zero sense.

 

[Pelta88]

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Where is the blog post?

Its up, I edited my second post right under the op to include it

 

[Loxus]

I think those buttons under the sticks are what's used to take the sticks out

You might be right.

 

[Punished Miku]

Confirmed less than the actual PS5 Dualsense controller.

Ewww ....

 

[DispatchNinja]

Pass

 

[Xyphie]

The buttons below the sticks labeled "Fn" are programmable buttons for like mute, volume etc.

 

[jm89]

Confirmed less than the actual PS5 Dualsense controller.

Would not fucking surprise me. That's my only annoyance with the dualsense.

 

[rofif]

I don't think I am getting it at all.
That's just money grab move... Maybe if it;s 100... but 150? no

 

[SenkiDala]

So they're taking care of Stick drift by making removable sticks?

In fact what makes the sticks drift are not the sticks themselves but the component under it, the one attached to the controller board, so removing the sticks like shown on the video won't fix the problem.

 

[NeonGhost]

Does it come in black

 

[Topher]

I'm buying this. Love the back buttons on my Elite Series 2

 

[8BiTw0LF]

Only 2 paddles I have 4 now on my modded DS.

 

[jonnyXx]

Only 2 back buttons...

Am I supposed to be impressed?

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

I like the black on the touchpad. Cook design but idk.. don't think I need a pro controller
