Sony has announced a PS5 DualSense pro equivalent controller, the DualSense Edge, and I cannot wait to get my hands on one.

Everything PlayStation gamers could be looking for in a “pro” controller is here. You can remap buttons, adjust stick sensitivity, save profiles, and change the stick caps; there are back buttons and, of course, all the features of the DualSense we’ve come to know and love, including haptic feedback and adaptive triggers.

Inside the box is a USB-C braided cable that locks into the controller, a carrying case where you can charge the controller if you wish, and spots to hold all the accessories.

Here are all the features as laid out by Sony themselves:

  • Ultra-customisable controls: Players can remap or deactivate specific button inputs, adjust stick sensitivity, travel distance and dead zones. For example, players can reduce travel distance 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: Players can save their ideal control settings to unique profiles and swap between on the fly. No more scrolling through huge settings menus between games!

  • On-controller user interface: The dedicated Fn button allows players to adjust their setup in-game; swap between pre-set control profiles, adjust game volume and chat balance, and access the entire controller profile settings while in game.

  • Changeable stick caps and back buttons: Three types of swappable stick caps (standard, high dome, and low dome) help players find the right level of comfort, grip and stability. Two swappable sets of back buttons (half-dome and lever), can be configured to any other button input.

  • Replaceable stick modules: Each individual stick module can be replaced, increasing controller longevity (sticks sold separately).

  • Built-in DualSense wireless controller features: Tying all the new features together is the signature comfort and immersive experience of the DualSense wireless controller when played supported games, with haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, built-in microphone, motion controls, and more.

As someone who loved the PS Back Button attachment, I’ve patiently waited for something like this since the PS5 launched. It sounds like it’s the Xbox Elite Controller — but PlayStation. Which is totally fine, that’s what I want. But how about you? Let me know in the comment section below.
