The PS5 Edge controller is now fully customizable on PCs

Tuesday August 27, 2024. 04:44 PM , from PC World
Microsoft’s Xbox controller (and its souped-up Xbox Elite variant) is considered the de facto standard for PC gaming. But after nearly 30 years, it’s not surprising that some prefer the PlayStation pad.

And for those that do, here’s some good news: the newest version of the PlayStation Accessories app offers far better support for the DualSense Edge, Sony’s $200 “pro” controller for the PlayStation 5. You can download the new app here.

The app was previously called “Firmware updater for DualSense wireless controller” and was limited to that function — and if you’re using a standard DualSense PS5 controller, it’s still limited to regular firmware updates. But if you’re using the upgraded Edge controller, the app now offers all the usual customization options you’d expect.

These customization options include fully remapping all buttons, adjusting analog stick sensitivity and the neutral “dead zone,” ditto for the analog triggers, and adjusting the intensity of the controller’s vibration and haptic trigger feedback. (All of these options are already customizable when the controller is connected to a PlayStation 5.)

If you’re upset that the standard DualSense doesn’t get any of these options — it’s pretty pricey itself at $70 retail — then maybe you should dig into Steam’s controller settings. It’s probably the fastest way to customize controller inputs in any supported game, and it has pre-set settings and a customized user interface for the DualSense.

Sony has been pushing hard to make itself a presence on the PC for the last couple of years, porting some of the biggest PS4 and PS5 exclusive games (with a couple of notable exceptions) and even releasing a few titles on both platforms at the same time.

Its latest party-based shooter Concord is a bit of a flop, but there’s no denying that the company is trying to expand into more spaces — and PC gaming offers the largest potential market right now.
