With its more or less exorbitant price, we expect the controller DualSense Edge offers us a high-end experience that could justify its price. While waiting to have the latter in hand to judge for ourselves the quality of the product, some sites were able to test this controller in preview, like The Vergewhich reveals some interesting details about this DualSense Edge specially designed for the PS5.
Good feedback but already a sign of concern
Sony today unveiled a new video that goes over all the advantages of this controller, starting with better triggers, the length of which can be adjusted as desired, which can be particularly practical for FPS. There is also a larger grip surface and a slightly improved touchpad, not to mention the possibility of changing the joystick caps or setting rear keys. It is even possible to customize up to three different profiles on this controller, to more easily change your settings according to the type of games you play.
The Verge is particularly enthusiastic following this first contact, indicating that this improved version of the DualSense offers good performance, which is however marred by a single problem: the battery of the accessory. Sony has confirmed that the battery of the DualSense Edge would be “moderately less” than that of the DualSensejustified as follows:
” The operating time of the DualSense Edge Wireless Controller is moderately shorter than that of the original DualSense Wireless Controller because we have included many more features while keeping the same shape and ergonomic design as the DualSense Controller. of origin. We wanted to strike a good balance between wireless uptime and providing performance features. Additionally, the longer braided USB cable is also ideal for competitive gamers who prefer to play with a wired connection to avoid wireless interference – this option preserves battery life. »
For 239 €, we expected all the same to have a little better on this side, but it is missed. It remains to wait for further tests to find out how much less the battery is.
