Sony’s Dualsense Edge Controller Will Have a Shorter Operating Time Between Charges

The DualSense Edge is Sony’s new wireless controller for the Playstation 5, created to elevate players’ gameplay with its highly customizable controls.

Spanning features that range from changeable back buttons and button mapping, adjustable trigger stops, tunable stick sensitivity, immersive adaptive triggers as well as an on-controller interface to adjust volume and other settings. In spite of all these new and exciting features the new controller offers, its slightly shorter operating time may seem like a downgrade at first glance. The Dualsense Edge offers only 5 to 10 hours per charge as opposed to the 12 to 15 hours of the original PS5 controller. This could be less concerning for pro and competitive gamers who prefer a wired connection over a wireless one. The new USB braided cable not only is longer and sturdier, but it now comes with a lockable connector to prevent the cable from being accidentally disconnected.

The Dualsense Edge controller is priced at $200 USD and is due to release on January 26. Pre-orders are currently available via Playstation Direct’s official website for select regions.
