Get Your DualSense Edge Controller Customization Game On with Windows!
Got a thing for tinkering with your toys? If you've got a penchant for personalizing your Sony's DualSense Edge controller, you'll be excited to know that you can now modify its settings on your Windows platform! From choosing favorite button functions to tweaking stick sensitivity, your PC gaming experience just got a whole lot more versatile.
For the longest time, customizing your DualSense Edge required a trip back to your trusty PS5. Sony's DualSense app, a.k.a. "Firmware updater for DualSense wireless controller," could only handle controller firmware updates! But worry not, gamers, 'cause Sony's got your back now. With their new PlayStation Accessories app for Windows, you can customize to your heart's content.
In their Tuesday announcement, Sony shared that the app allows users to "unleash the full customization potential" of the DualSense Edge controller on their PC! The app offers options like personalized button assignments, adjustable stick sensitivity, customizable deadzone settings, and even control over vibration and trigger intensity.
So, enjoy creating, modifying, and switching between your favorite controller profiles right from your PC! Game-to-game customization is now a breeze – switch between setups whenever you feel like it.
But, hang on a sec! This app is specifically designed for the DualSense Edge controller. The standard DualSense controller that comes with your PS5 can still be updated via the app. Sony's "pro" controller, priced at $199.99, is the one you'll be customizing.
Fancy the PlayStation Accessories app? Make sure your system's running Windows 10 or Windows 11, with 250MB of spare space. Your PC display resolution should be at least 1280 by 800. And remember, for detailed instructions on connecting your controller to your PC and configuring controller profiles, check out Sony's guide.
Now, PC gamers with DualSense Edge controllers can enjoy personalized button assignments, adjustable stick sensitivity, and a host of other customization options, ensuring a PC gaming experience that's just as smooth and satisfying as its PS5 counterpart.
