    We cannot wait to buy a controller without a system.

    I need this to have more than 2 back buttons. It’s just lazy at this point to not have them. Especially if they are actually delusional to charge $200 for that thing

    No hall sensor is a deal breaker for me

    • Yordan Montero

      Why would you need a hall sensor on a controller, and i’m not being a troll or anything of the sort I genuinely want to know, thank you.

    2 back buttons instead of 4? Swing and a miss by Sony. So close but so far away

      Ive been wondering about these back button things what do they help with

  10. MrInvis

    August 24, 2022 at 12:58 am

    I was hoping they would use hall effect sensors, I’m not sure if I will buy a controller going forward without them

      I think it uses this new patent with this cool thing that pretty much cancels out stick drift

  11. TNTkeynine

    August 24, 2022 at 1:04 am

    Wow! A new controller for a console that most people can’t even get! XD

    only 2 back buttons is a deal breaker for me. I’ll stick with my cinch controller

    Its strange it only has 2 back buttons I find having four and setting it up with the standard abxy or what ever is a great way too play games wile keeping your phumbs on the sticks.

    I have not played my PS5 since I got a Steam deck this thing has completely changed my gamming habits for the better, but I would consider it if PS keep porting games over with great duelsence support.

  17. Gabba Raisin

    August 24, 2022 at 1:08 am

    Wow! They fixed stick drift by taking it out. That’s big brain Sony Hahahaha!

    Not sounding all that appealing to be honest. Sounding like instead of fixing the drift issue they made it easier to replace the sticks which is something, I suppose. If my current and spare get so bad that I need a 3rd one, I’ll consider it.

    _DualSense Edge_

    The DualSense Edge wireless controller features a number of hardware and software-based customization options for creating a completely personalized controller experience, including:

    ●       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.

    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 so it’s much less likely to slip out at a crucial moment. The included carrying case, which keeps your DualSense Edge wireless controller and components together and organized in one place, allows you to charge the controller via USB connection while it’s stored in the case.

    Only 2 back buttons no swappable dpad. Epic fail

    Definitely getting because of the interchangeable analogue sticks so I don’t have to worry about my $70 controller having stick drift

  27. R00T

    August 24, 2022 at 9:00 pm

    I’d buy it if it had 4 paddles. 2 paddles is great but once you get used to 4 there’s no sense in losing that muscle memory. Here’s hoping that by the time I find a PS5 to buy they have an updated version of this controller

  28. Nicholas Wright

    August 24, 2022 at 9:02 pm

    The problem I have is it makes the playing field unfair since only certain people will be able to afford these.

    The only thing I was interested in was higher resolution / fidelity of their … whatchamacallit … haptic triggers and buttons. But it looks like there is no change there.

    Only two back buttons, poor decision.
    I’m going scuf.

  31. Sajid Hoosen

    August 24, 2022 at 9:40 pm

    Guess it boils down to price with me.. I already have two controllers.. So it’s gotta be affordable to swop out one of them for the edge controller

    I wish Sony made a fight pad too before SF6 comes out, most of the fight pads on the market are trash.

    They want more money basically for the same controller I’m good give me the regular one

  37. Gwyn The Lord Of Cinder10

    I’m pretty bummed about the D-Pad. Was hoping for something more akin to the elite controller for use in Street Fighter 6 when it releases. Still looks nice and I’ll consider but a better pad would’ve locked me in.

    I underwent an operation on my hands when I was younger and as such I really struggle with certain games. My index fingers and pinkies are almost a joint shorter and it makes gripping a controller quite uncomfortable. Especially when it comes to the souls series (having to use buttons while using the stick). I’ve purchased 3rd party/elite controllers when possible because it always takes away from the strain. The back buttons on this look slightly too awkwardly placed and there are only 2 at that. I don’t get the issue with just using 4 ergonomically placed buttons…. Xbox have done it, Razer, Scuff and so on. It would be welcomed

    Will it use the ps5 charge station to charge controller

  40. Magixz

    August 24, 2022 at 11:54 pm

    CNET.. it literally says Fn under the analog sticks.. Fn meaning Function.. Controller has two back buttons, sure.. but 4 extra buttons in total.

    100 to 130$ will be acceptable price, otherwise naah I’ll pass. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  42. Tommy Beaulieu

    August 25, 2022 at 12:12 am

    It looks great really but Only 2 back buttons 🥲😭 I hope it will be cheaper than the scuff tho … otherwise I’ll get another scuff I need at least 3 back buttons for warzone

    Not gonna lie… who cares… PS5 has no games of note that aren’t also on PS4 and it’s still not available in stores… I’m don’t wanna say Sony rushed it, but they definitely could have had an even more epic roll out if they took their time and didn’t try to engage in the console wars

  44. Alexander

    August 25, 2022 at 12:32 am

    I guess if something breaks you can replace it but to me this is very very confusing 😕I see no use in buying it.

    I wonder if if Xbox Microsoft is going to try suszony for that pattern the same but what they did with valve steam controller which was a great awesome device it will be interesting to see what they’re going to do

    No more stick drift?🙃

  49. barleyherb

    Most of this should just be available in software surely

    I don’t have a PS5.
    I have a Dualsense controller though, and I use it to play my Switch.
    But it won’t work on PS4.
    _Makes dualsense to me._
