PS5 controller has ‘special setting’ that changes how you game forever

PLAYSTATION 5 owners can take advantage of a clever trick when it comes to their controllers.

If you’ve got a certain PS5 joypad, you can unlock a huge perk.

First, you need to make sure you have a DualSense Edge controller.

That’s not the default wireless DualSense that comes with your PlayStation 5.

Instead, it’s an optional accessory with a few additional perks.

One of those perks is the ability to create multiple custom profiles for the PlayStation controller.

“You can save stick sensitivity, custom button assignments, vibration intensity, and more to custom profiles,” Sony explained.

That might not seem too useful, but it’s extremely handy.

It means you can flick between different sensitivity settings mid-game or between games.

And that can give you an instant advantage.

Similarly, you can change button mapping or vibration to suit your play style.

To do it, you need to go to Settings > Accessories > DualSense Edge Wireless Controller > Custom Profiles > Create Custom Profile and then tap OK after choosing a name.

You’ll then be able to choose items to customize.

Of course, that’s not the only advantage of having a DualSense Edge controller.

For a start, the design is tweaked slightly with parts of the typically-white controller blacked out.

The buttons are remappable and can be saved to custom profiles (as above).

You can also adjust trigger stick sensitivity, as well as trigger and stick dead zones.

It’s even possible to set your vibration levels – often less or no vibration is preferred for shooter games.

You’ll also be able to physically swap some of the buttons and thumbtack caps.

And it comes with a premium carry case.

The downside is that you’ll have to fork out for the Edge, which costs $199 in the US and £209 in the UK.
