The DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers are both PlayStation 5 controllers and you can also use them for PC gaming. If you're not sure whether to buy a DualSense Edge or DualSense, we'll break down the strengths and weaknesses of each controller to help you make an informed decision.
14 Differences Between Dual Sense EDGE and the Standard PS5 Controller
The DualSense Edge is essentially a DualSense with a bunch of extra features, so the DualSense Edge is an immediate upgrade. That doesn’t mean the DualSense Edge is the right choice for everything, and it does cost more than twice as much as a DualSense, but it is the superior controller in almost every way.
Both controllers share the same excellent haptics, adaptive triggers, touchpad, and comfortable form factor, but the DualSense Edge has a lot of extra features. The only area where the DualSense outperforms the DualSense Edge is battery life, as the latter has a larger battery.
While not unreasonable for a pro controller, the DualSense Edge is significantly more expensive than the DualSense. However, the price difference is significant enough to put these controllers in entirely different categories, as few casual gamers will see enough benefit from upgrading to the DualSense Edge to warrant paying nearly triple what a standard DualSense offers. The higher price is more than worth it for those who will take advantage of the additional features the DualSense Edge offers.
