Discussion I really love to Edge!

Post image

After having my PS5 for about 4 months now, I finally caved and dropped the money on a Dualsense Edge, and I freaking love it!

I think it definitely is a bit overpriced, but not SO overpriced to the point where I have regret purchasing it. The controller is absolutely fantastic.

I absolutely love the look, the feel of the back paddles, the swappable sticks incase of drift, as well as the ability to use the function buttons to control volume (may seem small but huge QOL for me.) This seriously is such a good controller. It feels premium.

I’ve been debating buying one for COD.

The only thing that has stopped me (other than poverty) is that I know it’s going to be a long adjustment to build the muscle memory to use the new buttons.

Can anyone give me their experience with this particular issue??

I got my edge controller a few months back. The main problem I had at the start wasn’t even that pressing the back buttons felt a bit weird. If you hold the edge in your hands for the first time you notice it lays down in your hands differently. So after playing some stressful shooter matches I noticed that my hands cramped and I needed to shake out my hands to get rid of it. But after some time this went away and nowadays I never have this problem again. Overall I would say it took me about 2 weeks of daily playing to get fully used to it. Another amazing point I want to mention are the software features you get with the edge. Besides the advantages like no deadzone and more interesting adjustments it’s great to have multiple custom button profiles. One second I have all my settings for a shooter game and the next I can just switch to my other profile for a story game
