A Deep Dive into Sony’s DualSense Edge Wireless Controller

“The opportunity to create the DualSense Edge wireless controller was a dream come true for our team”
by Joe Wilcock on August 25, 2022   



Sony has always been at the forefront of technology. From the invention of the Walkman in 1979 and the first CD player in 1982 to the PlayStation One in 1994 and Virtual Reality in 2016, Sony has had a journeyman tenure in regards to cutting-edge tech. 

However, despite releasing five PlayStations with five corresponding DualShock controllers, they have never seen the potential in upgrading their pads, despite their competitors doing so. Each PlayStation has received a mid-generation upgrade apart from the PlayStation One, which instead got an adorable “combo pack” which came equipped with a 5-inch LCD screen attachment. Apart from that, after every four years or so into a console's life span, it receives an upgrade. The console gets a facelift, but the controller does not. 

That was until Sony confirmed the “DualSense Edge Wireless Controller” during the Opening Night Live showcase event at Gamescom 2022, proving many of the rumours surrounding it to be true. An article on the PlayStation blog followed shortly thereafter which explains, in detail, all the new features and functionalities:
 


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.
 


Sony didn’t provide us with a release date or, most importantly, a price but we expect an update soon.
