As a part of its PlayStation 5 console series, Sony’s DualSense controller features haptic feedback and backward compatibility with the majority of PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR games.
As an upgrade to that, the latest DualSense Edge controller has many customization options available, including swappable stick caps and back buttons, L2/R2 stop sliders, button remapping, the ability to fine-tune stick sensitivity, stick dead zones, and trigger dead zones, and an on-controller user interface to seamlessly create and swap between custom profiles.
According to PlayStation, the controller design included insights from professional gamers and esports players to ensure the DualSense Edge controller was competition ready. For competitive gamers or players who just prefer a personalized controller experience, the DualSense Edge controller is designed to be customized from top to bottom to adapt to each player’s preferences and unique play-style.
