The former of which delivers what Sony refers to as a braided USB-C cable with a special connector that will lock into place to ensure it doesn’t get bumped out during a critical charging session. The new PlayStation DualSense Edge will ship with a special charging cable and travel case that can juice it back up for the price of entry. The onboard Fn button is how you’ll be able to swap between your user profiles (presumably on-demand) as well as pull up the controller profile menu where you’ll have access to volume and chat levels, test new layouts, and more.
The user profiles are just what they sound like the ability to completely customize a layout, save it, and recall it for specific setups and games. The DualSense Edge will support multiple user profile setups as well as an on-controller interface for flipping through them, among other things. Shoulder Triggers: You’ll also be able to adjust the dead zones and travel distance on the triggers (the larger of which also include a new grip texture) you can manually reduce travel distance of the triggers for faster inputs in competitive FPS games or reduce the dead zone for more precise input or throttle control in racing titles, for example. The PlayStation DualSense Edge, much like its Xbox Elite counterpart, is all about player choice and customization:Īnalog Sticks: Not only can you remap the button configuration, but you can also deactivate specific inputs as well as adjust the sensitivity and dead zones of the analog sticks (“the distance your analog stick moves before it’s recognized in a game”). A helpful addition considering you’ll be able to replace them yourself if you experience stick drift or malfunction. These are also replaceable and will be “sold separately” according to Sony. Stick modules: The front panel also houses the stick modules – the entire hardware unit the sticks sit in under the hood. You’ll also find a pair of back buttons (buy comparison the four paddles on the back of the Elite controller) that can be swapped out with included half dome and lever options. The DualSense Edge ships with standard, high dome, and low dome stick caps that can be swapped out at will. Stick and back button caps: The sort of front panel housing the analog sticks and, subsequently, the hardware that makes them work on the inside flips up so users can customize the setup.
We covered the launch of the upcoming pro controller earlier this week, but it seems a fitting time to detail the feature set so gamers have a better idea of what’s to come when it finally goes up for pre-order (no details on when that might be just yet, be here’s to hoping it hits in time for the holiday season this year).
