How the DualSense Edge™ wireless controller can raise your game - whatever you play

Get the edge in the Destiny 2 arena

The DualSense Edge wireless controller’s included high dome caps are well-suited to Bungie’s accomplished sci-fi shooter. Switch out the standard cap on the right stick for one of these elevated replacements and you’ll find that the additional height allows for finer movements and enhanced accuracy. The jump, reload, weapon switch and melee actions are all great fits for the back buttons, so try different combos until you find the one you can’t live without.

Likewise, in a game with such a diverse variety of character classes, weapon types and game modes, it’s advised to experiment with a number of profiles to figure which ones best match your playstyle. The ability to map up to three profile shortcuts to your DualSense Edge wireless controller is great for this; simply hold down the Fn button and the assigned shortcut button to instantly switch profiles.

Get an advantage in God of War Ragnarök's combat

Surviving Kratos’ spectacular journey across the Nine Realms requires considerable combat skill, particularly at higher difficulty levels.

The customizable back buttons of the DualSense Edge wireless controller are worth their weight in hacksilver during battles; consider placing the [CROSS] button on the left side to enable quick dodges, and the [TRIANGLE] button on the right so that you can activate your weapons’ special attacks and retrieve Kratos’ Leviathan war axe without moving your thumb from the right stick and the camera controller necessary to keep an eye on your enemies.

When creating a custom profile for God of War Ragnarök, a fast-response preset for the left stick such as Quick or even Digital can be very handy, while applying the Precise preset to your right stick - with reduced travel distance on the L2 button - will noticeably improve speed and accuracy with aimed attacks.

Innovate on the pitch in EA SPORTS FIFA 23

If you have aspirations of competing in the eChampions League, or dominating your rivals in FIFA Ultimate Team, you know that every split-second decision and action counts. With button combinations dictating the pace of your players rather than subtle stick movements, you can comfortably use the Digital profile for both sticks for the fastest possible response.

Try setting L1 and R1 to the back buttons, as these important modifiers are used for a wide variety of advanced skills, passes and shot types. It also means that your fingers will never have to leave the L2 and R2 buttons, which are also vital for flair moves, jockeying and the all-important sprint. Complete your custom profile by adjusting both triggers to the minimum travel-setting for digital-like responsiveness.
