The DualSense Edge has fallen to one of the lowest we’ve seen for Black Friday

We’ve seen Sony’s DualSense Edge on sale several times this year, and now it’s on sale again ahead of Black Friday as part of Sony’s ongoing holiday promotion. Right now, you can buy the pro-style gamepad in black or white at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for around $169 ($30 off), just $10 off its previous low. The black version of the DualSense Edge is rarely this discounted, so now is a good time to buy one if you prefer the stealthier look.

If you spend a lot of time gaming on the PlayStation 5, the DualSense Edge improves the experience by offering more customization than Sony’s standard DualSense controller. For starters, its deep software integration with the PS5 lets you create up to four profiles, each with customization options for button mapping, stick sensitivity, and assigning controls to the back buttons. You can create separate profiles for Ghost of Yōtei And Arc Raidersfor example, and swap them on the fly without having to leave your game.

In addition to custom profiles, the DualSense Edge allows you to adjust the feel of the triggers (L2 and R2), so you can tailor them to specific play styles and games. You can set the triggers to be more sensitive for online shooting games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7or less sensitive for racing games to achieve smoother acceleration and braking. Additionally, the Edge makes it easy to replace key modules in case one stops working.

While we like the ability to customize the DualSense Edge, it’s not without its flaws. In his criticism, The edgeCameron Faulkner of found that the controller only averaged about eight hours of battery life on a full charge, which is worse than the standard DualSense controller. It does, however, come with a long charging cable that can lock onto the controller, preventing it from being removed accidentally.
