Right now, you can snag the pro-style gamepad in either black or white at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for around $169 ($30 off), which is just $10 shy of its previous low. The black version of the DualSense Edge is seldom discounted by this much, so now’s a good time to pick one up if you prefer the stealthier look.Sony DualSense Edge$169$20016% off$169$169 at Amazon$169 at Walmart$170 at Best BuyIf you spend a lot of time gaming on the PlayStation 5, the DualSense Edge elevates 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 commands to the rear buttons. You can create separate profiles for Ghost of Yōtei and Arc Raiders, for instance, and swap between them on the fly without having to leave your game.In addition to custom profiles, the DualSense Edge lets you 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 shooters like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, or less sensitive for racing games to achieve smoother acceleration and braking. Moreover, the Edge makes it easy to swap out stick modules in case one stops working.RelatedThe best early Black Friday deals we’ve found (so far)The best Christmas gifts for gamers and movie loversSony’s PlayStation Portal just got a rare discount for Black FridayAs much as we enjoy how much you can customize the DualSense Edge, though, it’s not without its faults. In his review, The Verge’s Cameron Faulkner found that the controller averaged only 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 into the controller, preventing it from accidentally being yanked out.Read our full DualSense Edge review.Verge DealsSign up for Verge Deals to get deals on products we’ve tested sent to your inbox weekly.Email (required)Sign UpBy submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice.

The DualSense Edge controller has experienced a significant price reduction as part of Sony’s Black Friday promotions, currently available at retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for approximately $169—a $30 discount from its previous low. This represents a 16% reduction. The controller is designed to elevate the gaming experience for PlayStation 5 users by offering enhanced customization features beyond the standard DualSense. Key adjustments include the creation of up to four distinct profiles, which allow for tailored button mapping, adjustable stick sensitivity, and assignment of commands to the rear buttons. Users can dynamically switch between these profiles, such as creating separate settings for games like *Ghost of Yōtei* and *Arc Raiders*, facilitating optimized control schemes. Beyond profile customization, the Edge provides precise control over the triggers (L2 and R2), enabling users to fine-tune their responsiveness based on the specific requirements of various game genres—from sensitivity adjustments for fast-paced online shooters like *Call of Duty: Black Ops 7* to reduced sensitivity for racing games to ensure smoother acceleration and braking. Furthermore, the controller’s design incorporates a system for easily swapping out stick modules in the event of malfunction. However, a review by The Verge’s Cameron Faulkner noted limitations, specifically highlighting an average battery life of approximately eight hours on a full charge, which is less than the standard DualSense controller. Sony has included a long charging cable that can be locked into the controller to prevent accidental disconnection. Despite these drawbacks, the controller continues to offer substantial customization capabilities, positioning it as a compelling option for serious PlayStation 5 gamers.
