The PS5 DualSense Edge wireless controller has been announced. On Tuesday, at Gamescom Opening Night Live, Sony unveiled its new premium-grade controller for PlayStation 5. At first glance, the controller looks similar to the normal PS5 DualSense, but comes with additional perks to meet the standards. The new DualSense Edge wireless controller is “ultra-customizable,” so you can swap out the thumbstick caps and set up control mappings to suit your tastes. The DualSense Edge is essentially Sony’s answer to the (very late) Xbox’s elite controller range. Currently, there is no launch window for the DualSense Edge wireless controller.
In a PlayStation blog post, the company listed All the new features that come with the DualSense Edge Wireless Controller. This would be the first time Sony has taken a crack at customizable controllers, as previously, players had to rely on third-party companies such as Scuff Gaming for similar features. The new PS5 controller offers a variety of hardware and software options to create a personalized gaming experience.
DualSense Edge ultra-customizable controls
The new DualSense Edge wireless controller lets you remap or deactivate specific button inputs that come your way. Analog stick sensitivity and dead zones can also be adjusted – the distance your stick travels before being detected in the game. In addition, PS5 players can mess with travel distance to manually reduce the time it takes for faster input. Shorter travel distance equals faster input in competitive FPS games.
DualSense Edge Control Profile
Once you find your ideal control settings, PS5 players can save them to unique profiles and swap them out instantly. Let’s say, at Profile 1, you have lower camera sensitivity for better aiming in FPS games. So, instead of manually adjusting when switching to a narrative game like God of War, you can simply set these configurations in advance, and swap through the software. In addition to volume controls and chat balance, to pull out a menu, you can access it by pressing the Fn (function) button on the DualSense Edge to swap profiles.
DualSense Edge: Changeable stick cap and back button
Like the Xbox Elite controller, Sony has now introduced swappable stick caps and back buttons. In the package, you get three types of caps – standard, high dome, and low dome – which can be easily changed to suit your palm size and finger alignment, allowing you to stay comfortable in the game while maintaining a good grip. helps in.
In addition, the DualSense Edge comes with two swappable sets of back buttons – a new addition – that can be configured for any other button input. Previous reports indicated the move by Sony, although it didn’t have an official name, so people referred to it as “DualSense Pro”.
PlayStation notes that the Stick modules are also replaceable, but additional units will be sold separately. Aside from these changes, the DualSense Edge wireless controller retains all the qualities of the standard version, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggering, a built-in microphone, motion controls, and more. A USB Type-C braided cable, and a carrying case will also be included in the package.
The PS5 DualSense Edge wireless controller doesn’t have a release window or price bracket yet. More information about this will be shared in the coming months. The standard PS5 DualSense controller is priced at Rs. 6,490 in India.
