When designing the controller, our PlayStation team gathered feedback from pro gamers and esports players to ensure the DualSense Edge controller is competition-ready, incorporating features like a braided cable 2.8m (9.1ft) USB and a connector box that locks the cable to the controller. , and a carrying case to store the controller and its components. Gamers can even charge their controller via USB connection while it’s stored in the carrying case.
For competitive gamers or gamers who simply prefer a personalized controller experience, the DualSense Edge controller is designed to be customized from top to bottom to suit each gamer’s unique playstyle and preferences. For information to help gamers get started, let’s dive into the custom profiles I set up on my own DualSense Edge controller to play my favorite games.
As an FPS fan, my setup for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 focuses on purpose, custom loadouts, and team communication:
- Interchangeable Stick Caps and Stick Sensitivity: I swap out my straight stick cap with the High Dome stick cap and pair it with the Precise stick sensitivity preset curve for smoother, more precise aiming.
- L2/R2 stop sliders: I usually set the stop sliders on the L2 and R2 buttons to the Short or Medium setting for faster reaction to enemy encounters.
- Back buttons and button mapping: I’ve found it helpful for my own playstyle to map the back buttons to actions like jumping or swapping loadouts, so I can keep my thumbs on the sticks during tense moments.
- Fn buttons: When communicating with my team, I often use the Fn buttons to adjust the audio balance between game and chat, so I can alternate between calling and listening to the enemy team’s movements.
When playing action titles like God of War RagnarökI tweak my custom profile to make sure I have the key moves at my fingertips:
- Sensitivity of the adjustable neck: The Quick Preset Curve is my favorite thumbstick sensitivity setting for the left and right thumbsticks for quick camera adjustments, movement, and aiming. Occasionally I switch to a dynamic preset curve during gameplay for sequences where I need to aim carefully and turn quickly.
- Back buttons and button mapping: I switch to the Half Dome back buttons as they work well with the way I typically grip the controller, allowing me to quickly dodge or recall my ax while simultaneously moving around the map and keeping an eye out for enemies.
When loading into FIFA 23I focus on the preparation of technical movements and fast manoeuvres:
- Sensitivity of the adjustable neck: I configured my custom profile to use the digital preset curve for the right stick, which makes it easier for me to use skill moves.
- L2/R2 stop sliders and trigger dead zones: I adjust the trigger deadzones in addition to changing the stop sliders on the Short setting – the combination of these two adjustments allows me to activate the L2 and R2 buttons even faster to sprint or protect.
- Back buttons and button mapping: I have my two back buttons assigned to shoot and pass, so I can also do a skill move while navigating the field.
