A few years back, Xbox introduced the Xbox Elite controller, known for its premium quality, grippy textures, responsive buttons, and smooth joysticks. The Elite controller also featured unique elements like interchangeable joysticks, a customizable D-Pad, adjustable trigger distances, and four back paddles that can be remapped. This controller has been my go-to for both Xbox and PC gaming.

As mentioned, PlayStation's latest offering, the DualSense Edge, is being touted as their “first high-performance, ultra-customizable controller.” Many believe it could be a formidable competitor to the Xbox Elite Series 2.

Chapter 2: Features and Customization Options

The DualSense Edge is built on the foundation of the existing DualSense controller, which I recently discussed in an article about the PlayStation 5's features.

Let’s Talk About The New Features of the Playstation 5

While it may resemble its predecessor, the DualSense Edge introduces several significant enhancements.

Among its many customizable features, the controller allows for remappable buttons and adjustable trigger distances, making it an ideal option for PC gaming as well as PlayStation users.

Additionally, it will come equipped with joysticks of varying heights—low, medium, and high—alongside two sets of back buttons. PlayStation plans to offer replacement joysticks, allowing gamers to refresh their controller without needing to purchase an entirely new device.

Another exciting aspect is the ability to create multiple controller profiles with different configurations, easily switchable via an on-device interface.

Daisuke Kurihara, PlayStation’s Art Director, stated:

“We aimed to expand upon the legacy of iconic PlayStation controllers by designing a controller that enables players to tailor their experience based on their unique playstyles, whether they are competitive gamers or those who simply enjoy customizing their setup.”

I eagerly anticipate the release of the DualSense Edge and plan to add it to my PlayStation 5 collection. However, I doubt it will replace my Xbox Elite Series 2 for PC gaming, as I prefer the feel of Xbox controllers. Only time will reveal how this competition unfolds.
