PS5 DualSense Edge Review by Matthew Adler
"Priced at nearly three times the cost of a standard DualSense, the $200 DualSense Edge carries a premium price tag that may deter casual gamers. However, it packs impressive technology into a familiar form factor. The Function buttons enable seamless creation, adjustment, and switching between custom profiles, supported by a sleek, intuitive interface. The interchangeable rear buttons feel natural and comfortable. Replaceable analog stick modules address concerns about joystick drift, reducing the need to replace the entire controller. The main drawback is the lack of significant battery life improvement, a persistent issue for PlayStation controllers. Still, this is an outstanding first entry into Sony’s premium controller lineup."
