At first glance, the DualSense Edge appears to resemble the first DualSense of the name, apart from a new texture and a now black touchpad. The grip is still excellent, despite a weight of 335 g, compared to 280 g for the classic model. The non-slip interior handles optimize grip, and the controller is still comfortable, even during a long gaming session. The controller still offers a good feeling of solidity, and is accompanied by a carrying case to store several accessories such as analog stick caps, or two additional sets of buttons for the bottom of the controller.

New buttons have indeed been added under the controller and on the front. They are used to create shortcuts for more breadth in commands. The pad is also fully customizable via a simple press of the Fn button and the Options button while you play. A customization menu then allows you to modify the parameters and configure the keys. You can also define the sensitivity of the joystick or the intensity of the vibrations.

Is the PS5 Pro controller worth it on sale?

Less than €210 is still a high price for a controller, but if you've been waiting for a promotion to buy it, now might be the right time. The DualSense Edge is a timid evolution of the first PS5 controller. You will find all the functions of the classic DualSense, with a few improvements that players passionate about gaming will greatly appreciate. Note that with a Bluetooth connection or via a USB cable, the Sony pad can work under Windows 11.

Finally, in terms of autonomy, count on a little over 5 hours of play. A small performance, fortunately made up for by the presence of a long braided cable of 280 cm, ideal for playing with the controller connected.
