Sony's bid in the pro-scuf controller market is finally making its debut this month in the form of the Dualsense Edge. This is a high-end, customisable controller for those that want to take their competitive gaming to the next level. It has been a long-time coming, with Xbox's Elite Controllers being one of the only official options in the console market for quite some time.
Sony sent us along a unit ahead of its release on 26th January 2023, and while you can expect a review sometime next week, today we've decided to showcase exactly what you are getting in this rather expensive box. The Dualsense Edge comes with a number of interchangeable components housed in a premium carry case, and you can check out our hands-on unboxing over on the Push Square YouTube channel.
Whether it will be worth its staggering £210/$200 price tag remains to be seen, but it is nice to finally have an official pro controller option for the PS5. Will you be picking up the Dualsense Edge once it launches on 26th January 2023? Let us know in the comments below.

Still over priced - should be 140-150 max
Way overpriced for what it is ,I personally wouldn't even think bout getting 1 unless huge reduction In price but that's not gonna happen anytime soon ,very happy with dualsense
I mean if you really wanted to "take your competitive gaming to the next level", just get a PC surely

@danlk1ng Don't worry you got me here. I quite fancy getting this controller to go with my PC btw, and it'll complement my XBox Elite Controller quite well.
It's bizar to me that there are only 2 backbuttons. This week I just couldn't justify it to myself anymore and cancelled my preorder. Instead I modded 4 backbuttons on one of my controllers myself. Now I got exactly what I wanted for a fraction of the cost.
@SweetSummerShunv I'm not planning on getting this controller at all (£200 for a controller!? pffft..) but I do have so many DualSenses at this point that I have one purely for PC (one of the boring white ones that came with the PS5). Got me through Elden Ring - anyone saying there's no easy mode on FromSoft games has clearly never tried to play them with mouse & keyboard
@SweetSummerShunv should also point out that I'm not remotely competitive when it comes to games, mainly because I know I'm no match for some 12 year old loudmouth with a mic on . But when it comes to try hards, the PC try hards try harder than all the other try hards, by a long way
@danlk1ng I still don't have a PS5 yet so this controller would be perfect for the time being, and don't worry about competitiveness as I'm the worst at that. I'm still fumbling through Crash 4 for starters XD
I'd love one but with the huge amount of must play games just around the corner as well I'd end up starving to death. Waiting for discount next year or something or when new games dry up
I mean it is almost half the price of a PSVR2 in the UK so I would rather put it towards that thanks, but it is cool and all!
Ordered one. Looking forward to it! Using Xbox elite controller on Xbox/PC already so I’m fully accustomed with the paddles etc.
But, admittedly, the battery life is a massive letdown. I was expecting something on par with Xbox’s elite controllers, oh well.
It actually looks so cool! Too bad the price is just too high for me only using it on Apex...
Feels the same; refreshing honesty wait for twots on YT gushing how it feeeelz more premium
This seems to be a more official version of the astro c40 tr a modular controller made be astro in partnership with Sony. I'm happy with the astro but hope that this controller doesn't have the same problems that the astro has.
@mus422 PS5 is a second system for me, but at $150 i would get it. Especially cause i have $50 in gift cards so that would make it $100 for me and i could justify it for that price. $200 is just a lot more than what i will get out of it. Now if it had offset sticks i would pay $250 for it and not even complain haha
The case looks like an Apple Airpod case. The appleification of all commercial technology is nearly complete.
@Th3solution thought i was the only one who thought that ; $onys been copying a lot of apple-esque things lately . i’m convinced they’re trying to be the “apple” of consoles .
i remember when PS main colors was like black/blue or red/black , now it’s white and blue
@Grimwood anyone buying a piece of plastic with some sillicone in it is dumb, just like someone buying a house over a million or a car over a 100k. Or a phone over 500 pounds/dollar/euro.
People should not be allowed to spend their money for which they worked hard for. Or else these people will risk being called dumb online strangers.
Regardless of the price being charged, I think it actually looks pretty cheap and tacky. I'll stick with my standard DualSense controllers thanks.
@Grimwood I will spend my disposable income according to my wishes if its all the same with you.
@GrayFoxCZ get back n tell us if you can carry that case like a little manbag.
@NinjaNicky of course they will be!
These are going to sell like whatever the opposite of hotcakes is.
@Microbius I'm one of the nut jobs that actually ordered this..... But I had to laugh hard at that because it's exactly what I'm expecting 😅.
