DualSense Edge wireless controller for PlayStation 5 announced
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Curious to know how much the analogs will cost. Not the perfect, but a welcome way to still save the controller if it shows drift.
Are we talking those monstrosities with paddles for face buttons, or back buttons? Because it has the latter.
Dawg, that picture is literally all we have rn. Wtf are you even talking about.

"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.
Daisuke Kurihara, Art Director, led the controller's design process and shares a few insights on how it was created:
In the months ahead, we look forward to sharing more details about the DualSense Edge wireless controller, including launch timing, and can't wait to see how the PS5 community unlocks the full potential of the controller's customization options."

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.

Being able to replace the analog sticks would be good given it's inevitable they will drift. But it's the same shape as the Dualsense and seems to have the same button positions and d-pad, all of which I find less comfortable than the Dualshock 4. Also, given their track record for build quality with the Dualsense so far, no way I'd pay what they're gonna ask for this.
Yeah I'm a sucker and I'll buy this. Hopefully it's no higher than $99. But it's probably more.

Me too because every other controller feels like trash compared to my Elite Series 2. Bring it on, I'll be there day one.
Conveyed that no details have been released, or maybe a summary of what was shown in the video would have been nice.

I wonder why it's labeled "Fn." Doesn't make sense if it's an unlock button. Maybe we're getting multiple layers with Fn modifier buttons?
Edit: blog is up

"Just announced at GamesCom, more details will soon be posted on Playstation Blog but short video showed back paddles, removable and customizable thumbsticks, and a switch for multiple profiles"
Geoff did actually say words that contained information, the announcement wasn't literally just a picture. Not asking for a thesis, just a little bit of effort 🤷♂️
Yeah fair enough it's good that you can change deadzones on this. But no reason you shouldn't be able to with a standard Dualsense on PS5 too.
Everything seemingly being saved locally on the controller worries me a bit too. I don't want to map the back buttons to another button. I want the back buttons to be exposed as separate inputs to PC games/Steam so I can map them to whatever action I want myself. Let's hope it does that, otherwise it's a bit useless.
So they even mention paddles in the blog?
Edit: they call them back buttons.
Nothing for me here with this controller
