PS5 DualSense Edge Review

The DualSense Edge controller puts its customization front and center with its slick software and intuitive Function buttons, finally giving PlayStation owners an answer to the venerated Xbox Elite.

A controller that cost half the price of the console is crazy to me

The glossy plastic right in the middle of the controller is a pretty insane oversight to me

Rate it after a year. This means nothing if it isn't durable

The controller wouldn't need replaceable stick modules if it just had hall effect sticks and the software customization could have been done with the standard dualsense.

One improvement I've noticed that the Edge has over the Dualsense is that the area where you rest your pinky has been rounded compared to being more angular/pointy on the original controller. I've seen a few people complain about that on the Dualsense because it would jab into your fingers causing fatigue.

The only thing I'm jealous from this controller over my Elite 2, is the replaceable joysticks. Should be on all model of controller, no matter what the system!

Swapping out the sticks when they inevitably get stick drift is a HUGE selling point. I’ve already gone thru 2 regular controllers so $199 isn’t that bad

The chance of the cable falling out is pretty low with modern usb cables but it’s a nice touch. Improving the battery should’ve been more of a priority

Seth Macy is a gem. Always happy to see when he does a hardware review.

My biggest fear is with the changeable analog sticks. The astro c40’s had the same feature and those were even more prone to stick drift and needed to be changed more often in my experience. Hope this isn’t the same

thanks for the review. mine is on its way. pre order this bad boy as an xmas gift to myself..

I'm so glad this is reviewing well. Pro controllers have a very hit or miss nature and I'm glad to see Sony took it seriously, as they do with most things.

[TheProphegy]

Been waiting for mine to ship. Can’t wait to finally get a Sony Pro controller. Finally a quality one and not a Scuf or Astro. It is pricey but 100% worth it given what all you get with it and the quality.

Imagine buying this and still getting owned by a kid with a pink gun.

[MdMaynard]

Absolutely fantastic review. Thank you so much.

[SocotraBoy]

This could actually be really cool with games like Skyrim. You could create a new profile that has no deadzone and just walk around instead of having to slightly edge the analog stick upwards just to walk Unlike PC, console has no toggle walk button in games and thumbs get tired needing to be in an awkward position.

Got delivered to my door yesterday. Literally a game changer with the customizable profiles! Undefeated 🙌

[frateris]

Waiting on mine to arrive (With delivery driver now) Super excited for this with Call of Duty and Destiny. Definitely feel the benefits will be substantial, the interface is impeccable. Not worried about battery life as I'm going to just hard wire it

[TheNazreensyah]

Imagine doing these upgrades and finally finishing it...then realised that you forgot about the battery life.

As with every new device, wait for the version 2.0 which would be an improvement in every regard over this
