The DualSense Edge Controller will clearly appeal to competitive PS5 gamers, but what about everybody else?
Sony's premium controller is rarely on sale, but Walmart is offering a big discount on it while stocks last.
My exact thought.
My F’n puppy chew OFF both sticks.. I’ve been trying to find stick modules for like two months now.
"Scroll down to the Saved Data and Game/App Settings section of the settings menu, which is pretty far down the list. From there, head to the Game Presets subsection.
As you can see, the PS5 offers separate camera presets for first- and third-person games. And for each of them, you can choose to invert the y-axis and/or x-axis. Each page provides a helpful little clip illustrating what it means to invert the camera controls, too, accompanied by an animated DualSense controller."
Learn to Google?
"Learn to Google"
Pretty pathetic answer from someone who thinks they know better when they don't.
I'm well aware of the presets you mention but they're of no help when a game doesn't support axis inversion. Those presets only do one thing : save you the trouble of enabling axis invert setting WHEN SAID SETTING IS THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE IN THE GAME MENU. If it isn't, you're out of luck.
Hence my comment : a premium controller should allow you to invert all axis precisely in the case where the game doesn't.
Examples : The Pedestrian, Evil Inside. Try your presets on these two and let me know again if I need to learn to Google.
Pretty pathetic to expect axis settings in games that doesn't even support them to begin with? Right?!
Why would Sony be allowed by the developer to "hack" their code to insert random function? That is harder to get approved than you might know.
I don't think I know better than anyone else tbh, just Google instead of complaining like a victim. And you should have googled that BEFORE you bought it , you can't complain afterwards for a function that was never there to begin with, that's on you mate.
T3:
As someone who plays PlayStation 5 most nights, I've been thinking recently about how much of my time I spend with a DualSense controller in my hands. It's a special bit of kit and with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, it's unlike any controller that came before it.
It’s a great controller. The only major issue is that the rubber grips will tear off eventually. But, you can get colored replacements from Extremerate. They come in multiple colors and are easy to install. Here’s a link to their site, if curious.

Same thing that happened to mine. I did buy the grips, but then later bought their controller shell the day they were available for purchase.
I would love to see first person shooters allow you to use the VR controllers as motion controllers. I just bought a gunstock for VR but how good would it be if you could use that in any first person or third person shooter?
Probably wouldn't work. It needs the headset for tracking. I can dream but, if you played it on the headset.
I have a giftcard and i want one as I have thumb issues sometimes so this will help a lot but I've been holding off for a discount. I can't believe it's not really had one yet since launch. Expected one on black Friday
It's a great controller but the battery life is absolutely terrible. 3 hours of gameplay and it's already low, it might as well be a wired controller 🤦♂️
A study shows that DualSense Edge users are playing games for over 30 hours, with more sessions and variety compared to the rest on the PS5.
When you spend $200 on a controller you tend to use it pretty often.
Also the people who buy expensive controllers will be ppl more passionate about the video game hobby.
I like the fact if you get stick drift, you can replace the joysticks
True, but you could literally buy 3 brand new DualSense controllers should you get stick drift for the price of the Edge controller.
But what if you get stick drift with those controllers in the future. You will have to pay $70 dollars for a replacement. The dualsense edge joysticks 🕹 only cost $19.99 to replace
Of course, those willing to pay a lot of money for a controller are those that are deeper in addiction and dependence.
People enjoy alcohol, drugs and a lot of stuff. But most people that buy an expensive controller are way beyond enjoying games and are truly addicted. When something become the thing you most spend time everyday after sleeping, that's an addiction.
You can say it's an escapism or something like it and it's true. But it's an addiction nonetheless. Like other addiction those who use it tend to deny they are dependent.
I guess the spatula and grill I bought are really just enablers to my grilling addiction...
You're full of wisdom.
I hardly play and when i do i usually use m&k but i have 2 elites ... You know some people won't break their bank for buying a "pro" controller which is more expensive... Also i am not addicted to work which is the thing i do the most after i wake up thanks.
Make it make sense.
Going straight to addiction as your reasoning shows more issues with you than it does with those you're trying to pin
@locomorales
That's a horrible and completely incorrect way of looking at this. Saying anybody that buys a good controller is addicted to video games on the same level as alcohol and drugs is bats**t insane lol
I have a $300 custom PS5 controller with 4 back paddles, swappable sticks and adjustable L2/R2 buttons as well as a third party XBox Elite knockoff controller but I only play games maybe a few times per week.
Hell, if Microsoft made an actual Elite controller and added gyro and a trackpad to it, I'd immediately go buy that right now no matter what the cost was (no controller exists that lets you map back 4 paddles to macros {like "Start Recording") in Steam like the Elite controller, but with gyro and a trackpad)
Once you get used to a good controller with back paddles it's really hard to go back to face buttons. Can't even move the camera while reloading or jumping! Insanity. I work full time, I'm not addicted to playing video games. I'd just rather drop the extra money for a controller that does what I want, feels nice for when I do play, arguably gives me a skill boost and lasts a long time. It's not for everyone but it's worth the cost to me and a lot of other non-video-game-addicted people.
I’d imagine someone who spends 200 on a controller plays a lot of games… enough to seek out a 200 controller. This is kinda like saying people who buy cars spend more time driving cars.
