If you’re considering buying the PS5 DualSense Edge controller and prefer to have settings out of the box, here are some savvy tips that cover three huge games of 2022.
The new PS5 pro controller, the DualSense Edge, has been officially released for a few hours but only on the store PlayStation Direct at a price of €239.99. An exclusivity that runs from January 26 to February 23, 2023, after which the device can be acquired everywhere (Amazon, Fnac, etc.).
And for this launch, the product manager of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Tomomasa Mizuno, accompanies buyers who are looking for help.
Three configurations for the DualSense Edge
In a PS Blog article on the occasion of the release of the DualSense Edge, product manager Tomomasa Mizuno distills his advice using three successful games of recent months as examples.
For competitive gamers or those seeking a personalized controller experience, the DualSense Edge controller offers increased customization, ideal for adapting to each gamer’s unique playstyle and preferences. To get started, let’s take a closer look at the custom profiles I’ve set up to play my favorite games with my controller.

These are God of War Ragnarok, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and FIFA 23.
- FIFA 23 DualSense Edge Setup
To perform your best technical moves in FIFA 23 and take yourself for Kylian Mbappé, Mizuno-san opts for the predefined “Digital” curve on the right stick. As for the top buttons and triggers, he recommends adjusting the trigger dead zones and setting L2/R2 to “Short”. This has the effect of having more responsive keys for sprinting or protecting the ball.
- DualSense Edge God of War Ragnarok Setup
For Kratos’ movements, aiming or repositioning the camera correctly, it would be best to apply the “Fast” setting for the left and right sticks, or even “Dynamic” during sequences that require being able to react in a second.
Tomomasa Mizuno also uses the semi-rounded back keys for a good grip to quickly dodge or recall the Leviathan ax, while not losing sight of enemies.
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 DualSense Edge Setup
Activision’s FPS requires a few more changes than the previous two games. For the product manager, it would be necessary to exchange the cap of the right joystick by the high rounded model, then to adjust the sticks to “Precise”, which should bring fluidity and precision.
As for L2 / R2, his heart swings between “Short” and “Medium”. It takes advantage of the paddles on the back of the controller to jump or switch gear, and the “Fn” keys to balance game and voice chat audio.
Other settings possible
Obviously, these are only first tracks that will not necessarily suit everyone. But in the next few weeks, other advice should flourish on the Web from players.
