DualSense Edge wireless controller announced

At gamescom 2022, Sony has announced the DualSense Edge wireless controller for PlayStation 5.

The new controller is said to be the first-ever high-performance, ultra-customizable controller developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Comparable to the Xbox Elite controllers, it promises a number of hardware and software-based customization options for creating a completely personalized controller experience.

The Edge allows remapping or deactivating specific button inputs and fine-tuning your aim by adjusting stick sensitivity and dead zones. In addition, each trigger is adjustable with options to tailor travel distance and dead zones to your preference. Custom settings can be saved in unique profiles and swapped between them on the fly using a new dedicated Fn button, which can also adjust game volume and chat balance, and access the controller profile settings menu to set up and test new control iterations while in game.

Three types of swappable stick caps (standard, high dome, and low dome) will be available. 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. Users can also fully replace each individual stick module on the controller (replacement stick modules will be sold separately).

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. The included carrying case, allows you to charge the controller via USB connection while it’s stored in the case.

The price or launch date of the DualSense Edge wireless controller was not yet announced.
