DualSense Edge wireless controller for PlayStation 5 announced
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
Why include a carrying case? That's the last "feature" I thought would be part of something like this and only adds unnecessarily to the price. Everything else though is solid.
The paddles are labelled LB and RB.
That creates a nightmare in Design docs for multiplatform games as LB and RB are the bumpers on Xbox (and I assume the paddles on the DS Edge are mirrors of another input anyway). Joy!! 😂
Looks cool though, always wanted a high end PS official controller.

Let's hope they have better build quality than the Elite controllers.
A shame they didn't bring back coloured symbol buttons.

I greatly prefer the PS face buttons and d-pad, so I'm more apt to drop money on this vs the Elite controller.
Happy I procrastinated so long on grabbing a 2nd controller.

Probably to more closely compete with Xbox's Elite which comes with one too.
love the addition of function keys that allow you to adjust software-related things. So good
Disappointed that there's at best two back paddles though. I wanted some function to move ALL face buttons to the back

Pretty much no devs are going to spend time implementing/testing extra buttons for a controller that less than 10% of players will have. This isn't a PC-targeted controller.
Looks alright, not too sure so far. I wonder if replacement stick modules being sold separately means the base price will be reasonable and if there'll be more customization options. Unfortunately it's not looking like there's a way to swap out the D-pad, which I hate, but instead just the 2 analogue sticks
I'm personally hoping it would be smaller & lighter than the base controller, but that's unlikely. Still, curious to see comparisons eventually

Hopefully we won't have to wait too long.Blog post is finally up. No price or launch timing yet.
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.blog.playstation.com
It shouldn't affect devs, right? Since it's a user customizable button and not a new button that devs have to account for.
Why would you even expect that? My Elite can't be switched to symmetrical even though I wish it could. PS will always be Sym and Xbox will always be Asym, it is what it is unless you buy some shoddy 3rd party stuff.
It's probably not to add to the price, but instead to justify the increase in price.
I'd really only need the paddles, but looks like a great controller. Kinda bummed that back button attachment is probably not coming.
How else would they do it?
Sounds like it will fit that market who want this kind of hardware customization, but why lock button remapping to this other than forcing people to buy a $200 controller.
There's not much else they can do since these buttons aren't standard.
I really want to know if it is any smaller. Would make it an auto buy for me.
is that worse than multi platform games that appear on Switch where A is B and X is Y?
If you can literally change out the entire analog stick housing/component like it shows in the video to easily combat drift I would consider getting it depending the price. Based on my experience with the regular Dualsense so far, if the rest of this thing lasts 4 years and costs no more than $150, it will have paid for itself.
Yeah it shouldn't at all, it's just when referencing LB/RB as an input (Xbox bumper), someone could get confused and thinks that's the PS input. It's fine, just another thing to think about!
Make a Steam Input style configurator where you can map them to whatever combination of stuff you want (rather than just one button) and also expose them to games to be able to map them to additional actions too.
