DualSense Edge: the Pro version of the official PS5 controller, all the details

Tom Henderson had everything right. As announced last June in a paper published on Try Hard Guides, Sony Interactive Entertainment will market a Pro version of its PS5 controller. Announced during the Opening Night Live of gamescom 2022, this DualSense Edge (that's its name) takes more or less what is done at Microsoft with the Xbox Controller Elite. Basically, it will be possible to interchange the analog sticks, to take advantage of new rear triggers, but also to customize each of the buttons on the controller. This means that it will be possible to assign all keys as desired, either by remapping or by disabling specific button inputs. Similarly, it will be allowed to refine the aim by adjusting the sensitivity of the stick and the dead zones (i.e. the distance over which your analog stick moves before being recognized in a game). Of course, it will be possible to save several profiles in order to switch from one to another easily, knowing that the Fn button has been created to easily adjust each configuration. This DualSense Edge will retain all the features of the classic DualSense, namely haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, built-in microphone, motion controls and everything else. Here is the video and some images of the controller, as well as a complete summary of its characteristics.

 

● Ultra-customizable controls : You can make the DualSense Edge wireless controller uniquely yours by remapping or disabling specific button inputs and fine-tuning your aim by adjusting stick sensitivity and dead zones (the distance your analog stick travels before be recognized in a game).

 

● Ability to save multiple profiles : Once you find your ideal control settings, you can save them to unique profiles and switch between them on the fly.

 

● Gamepad user interface : Dedicated Fn button lets you easily adjust your setup while staying focused on the in-game action - quickly switch between your preset control profiles, adjust game and chat volume, and access the profile settings menu controller to configure and test new iterations of in-game control.

 

● Interchangeable rear sticks and buttons : Three interchangeable stick types (standard, high dome, and low dome) keep you comfortable in-game while maintaining grip and stability. The two interchangeable sets of rear 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 stick module on the controller.

 

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

 

In addition to the included sticks and rear button sets, the wireless controller Dual Sense Edge comes with a braided USB Type-C cable, which uses a connector housing to lock into the controller, so it's much less likely to slip. The included carrying case, which keeps your wireless controller Dual Sense Edge and its components, allows you to charge the controller via a USB connection while it is stored in the case.
