PlayStation has taken to the Gamescom Opening Night Live stage to officially announce the DualSense Edge which is a wireless Pro controller for PS5. This comes after it was rumoured that PlayStation would be developing a Pro controller.
The new DualSense Edge controller has customisable controls, changeable stick caps, back buttons, the ability to customise things such travel distance for triggers and also the ability to save controls for each game.
The controller will also come with a braided USB-C cable and a case, but as of right now it wasn’t given a release date or price, with PlayStation saying that more info would be revealed in the coming months. You can read more on the PlayStation Blog or head below for the full list of features.
On-controller user interface: The dedicated Fn button allows you to easily adjust your setup while staying focused on the in-game action – quickly swap between your pre-set control profiles, adjust game volume and chat balance, and access the controller profile settings menu to set up and test new control iterations while in game.
Changeable stick caps and back buttons: Three types of swappable stick caps (standard, high dome, and low dome) help you stay comfortable in game while maintaining grip and stability. The two swappable sets of back buttons (half-dome and lever) can be configured to be any other button input, putting more essential controls at your fingertips.
A PlayStation Pro controller has been requested for many, many years to rival the Xbox Elite controller and the many third party solutions on the market.
