On the last day of the Spring Festival holiday, with the phone call and knock on the door from JD Express, I got the New Year gift I bought for my gaming experience——PlayStation DualSense Edge controller.
Compared with the ordinary DualSense, the advantages of the Edge elite controller in the official promotion include the following:
- It is possible to adjust the sensitivity and dead zone of the joystick, the keystroke of the trigger key and the dead zone;
- Multiple control profiles can be saved simultaneously for use in different games;
- Comes with a dedicated Fn button to help users quickly switch between different control profiles and adjust game settings;
- Has 3 types of replaceable rocker caps and 2 types of replaceable back keys;
- Replaceable rocker module to increase handle life (purchased separately).
But after using the real effect for a day, I think I can briefly talk about the quality of this handle:
Here is the most luxuriously packaged PS controller:
That’s right, there is a flip-up paper box similar to a gift box in the outsourcing package of ordinary electronic products, and there is also a hard handle storage protection box in the “gift box” package. Layers of packaging reflect the noble identity of DualSense Edge!
There are many accessories in the protective box. In addition to the DualSense Edge handle, there is an “extra long” USB data cable, a USB interface protective case (I thought it was a Bluetooth receiver when I opened the box), two sets of high and low rocker caps, and two sets of length All-metal back button (the back button is installed with magnetic suction, and the installation experience is very good).
Due to the existence of modularity, you can replace most of the buttons on this handle (pay for it separately!), and even the joystick module can be replaced. At least this generation of game handles is common after the handle is out of warranty. The joystick drift problem is also saved, right… (but the module is very expensive
The shape is almost the same, but it is a couple of heavier than DualSense:
If you are worried that Edge will change the well-received feel of this generation of DualSense, then don’t worry, put the two handles together, except for the color matching (bright surface/matte surface) and extra buttons, the size of the two is the same. no difference.
(DualSense Edge has been installed with long back keys)
But after all, so many functional combinations are stuffed in, the weight of the handle will increase by about 50g (one or two). Personally, I feel that the increased weight is still within an acceptable range, and there is no added burden for long-term use.
Rich setting functions, all key positions can be set by yourself:
The picture is lost, I can’t download it from the APP, and I can export it with U when I go home…
When connecting to DualSense Edge for the first time, a welcome and setup guide will pop up:
In the custom button configuration: we can reassign the key positions of all the buttons on the handle (except for the PS button, of course), but it is only a single button assignment, and we cannot assign combination keys or combo settings.
The same DualSense Edge can adjust the sensitivity and dead zone of the joystick and shoulder button.
Twenty configuration slots are provided in the system, and four preset configurations can be switched through the FN+△/+○/+×/+ box.
Same posture, faster operation:
Due to the existence of the back button, you can react and operate faster on the DualSense Edge, which is very friendly for confrontational players.
This improvement will be reduced on a stand-alone player, but it can still bring players a better experience in action games. For example, in “Devil May Cry 5”, Nero has a back button, which can make better combos to obtain High Score (SSS).
By the way, if you still want to use DualSense Edge to connect to the computer, don’t worry, I also tested it and it is available.
In the handle settings of the new version of Steam, DualSense Edge is recognized as a PS5 handle (consistent with DualSense), and the keys cannot be changed, but the previous settings on PS5 can be used.
To be added: Can it be used for PS4, go back and try it at night
Small battery, damn battery life: one hour for one battery

Of course, the issues with the DualSense Edge are equally notable. In the teardown video of the foreign media, the DualSense Edge chose to shrink the battery in order to add more button modules without changing the volume, which further reduced the poor battery life of the DualSense.
From what I’ve seen with MHW, it’s only about 3.5 hours… presumably the engineer thinks that people who are willing to pay for a DualSense Edge wouldn’t mind buying another rotation?
Summary and recommendation:
- The feel of the DualSense Edge is almost the same as that of the DualSense handle, including button feedback and well-received shoulder buttons, but it is slightly heavier;
2. The addition of changing keys, back keys, etc., can allow players to better find their own comfortable gaming experience and use key combinations faster when the holding posture and feel remain unchanged;
3. The short board of battery life does exist, and the usage time is only about 3.5 hours;
4. 1599 is still too expensive…
If you are a confrontational competitive player such as Apex and COD on the PS platform, and you have a sufficient budget, then DualSense Edge can indeed bring improvement, and it would be better to buy two;
If you are not a core player, or if you want to buy it and post content on Zhihu like me, there is no need to spend this money…
Someone wants to ask me, if compared with the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 (Xbox second-generation elite handle), it is still the DualSense Edge, after all, the quality next door is too bad…
