PlayStation 5 ( PS5) offers a great gaming experience with beautiful visuals, 3D audio, and blazing-fast loading speeds, but it is the " DualSense Wireless Controller " that really adds to the immersive gaming experience.
Adaptive triggers that change resistance depending on the situation, haptic feedback that lets you feel in-game effects and impacts, motion control using the accelerometer and gyroscope, and much more. It even feels like you are there, rather than controlling a playable character.
However, due to its simple and beautiful design, the DualSense Wireless Controller is difficult to use with some titles.
Aside from special controllers such as arcade controllers and steering wheel controllers, there are probably people who have no choice but to use third-party gamepads.
For those people, the new " DualSense Edge Wireless Controller " that can be freely customized according to the situation and your preferences has been announced, and now the details have been revealed!

High Performance and Customization
The "DualSense Edge Wireless Controller" is a higher-end model PS5 controller that retains the features of the "DualSense Wireless Controller" while allowing for detailed customization.
The design follows the black and white "DualSense Wireless Controller," but the touchpad has been changed from white to black, and the traditional PlayStation "△ × × ☐" design has been accented.
One of the new features is the mappable rear buttons.
Two sets of interchangeable rear buttons can be assigned to any button.
The buttons that are used most frequently will vary depending on the title you play and your style of play, so you can assign them according to the situation at hand.
The caps for the left and right thumbsticks come in three types: standard, high dome, and low dome, and can be freely interchanged.
You can change them according to your hand size, finger length, and grip preference, or you can choose different types for the left and right sides.
Find the best combination for your preference and game title.
The depth of the triggers for the L2 and R2 buttons can be adjusted manually.
You can switch between a shallower trigger for quicker inputs in FPS and TPS, a deeper trigger for easier throttle control in racing games, and so on, depending on the game genre you play!
Controllers physically press buttons and depress sticks, so after long use, defects will inevitably occur.
The DualSense Edge Wireless Controller is in a price range that makes it difficult to easily replace, so the stick module, which is relatively prone to defects, is replaceable!
When the stick module becomes faulty, it can be replaced with a separately sold stick module for a long life time.
The included USB Type-C cable is a braided cable that can be locked to prevent it from falling out of the controller during wired connection.
The current "DualSense Wireless Controller" is a high-performance controller, but its battery life is not as good as it could be, so it is often necessary to use a wired connection to play.
If the controller can be locked securely, it will provide peace of mind when playing in hot conditions.
Other features include the ability toremap or disable certain button inputs, a dedicated Fn button for switching and adjusting various settings, and fine-tuning stick sensitivity, trigger effects, and vibration functions.
Switch to the best settings for your gaming situation or the title you are playing.
A carrying case is also included to store the DualSense Edge Wireless Controller and accessories together.
You can not only store it, but also carry it safely, so you can take it along as a partner to the offline tournaments that are likely to increase in the future.
It is also great that the case can be recharged via USB connection while stored in the case.
On sale on January 26th! Price
The DualSense Edge Wireless Controller will be available worldwide on Thursday, January 26, 2023!
The only problem is the price... 29,980 yen (including tax) The price of the controller will be $399.99!
To be honest, it is not a cheap price, but if it comes with accessories such as a case and can be customized while retaining its existing functions, I can understand why the price would be this high.
On the same day, a replacement stick module will also be available for 2,680 yen (tax included), so it may be a good idea to purchase one as a spare.
Some retailers will begin accepting reservations on October 25, 2022 (Tue. ), with others to follow in due course, so if you want to make sure you get your hands on one on the release date, keep an eye out for the announcement of the start of reservations!
