Feast your eyes onSony’s pro gamer controller, the DualSense Edge, which will be available directly fromPlayStation’s online store only from 26 January(you can pre-order one right now). I’ve had a controller delivered ahead of that release date to test out.
For now, however, it’s all about the visuals only. Obscure as embargoes are, you’ll likely see a bunch of unboxing videos go live right now, but no reviews yet – for that you’ll need to wait a few more days for true first impressions, critique and various pros and cons assessment of thePlayStation5’s best controller.
I have an inkling, however, that you’ll already know whether you want to buy a DualSense Edge based on its price point (£209.99/$199.99/AUD$339.95), Sony’s ‘one per household’ order restriction at launch, and your needs for such a controller, i.e. whether you’re that elite a gamer. So let’s take a closer look at what that purchase price will net you…

DualSense Edge: What’s in the box?
But it’s inside this box where the real magic lies: in addition to the DualSense Edge you also get an additional four thumbsticks (two high dome, two low dome), a long-length braided USB cable (incuding separate connector housing, if you want to play wired rather than wireless), plus four metal back buttons for the rear programmable slots (two are dome, two levers).

Furthermore there are adaptive triggers, with varying force and tension settings, while the controller’s haptic feedback is also user-adjustable through software directly on the PlayStation 5 console.
All that is very high-end and wonderfully customisable stuff indeed, which is just what pro gamers will be wanting from their PlayStation 5 console. Tempted topre-order? I’d like to change out my two standard DualSense for a pair of Edge controllers, that’s for sure.
