What functions does the controller have? Sony explained in an official blog post that you can customize the controller to your needs:

• You can customize and remap every element, from the thumbstick to the buttons to the triggers.
• You can also save your key assignments for each game and create profiles in this way if you want to play different genres, for example.
• The DualSense Edge also offers its own interface, where you can directly adjust the setup of the controller. So you don’t have to leave the game.
• Another special feature are the exchangeable stick caps and back buttons.
• The embroidery modules are also interchangeable. So if you get drift problems, you can simply swap the parts.

Otherwise, not much changes on the controller itself: the DualSense Edge wireless controller still offers the same features of the DualSense wireless controller in supported games, including haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, an integrated microphone and motion control.

How are the reactions of the users? Viewers are enthusiastic about the official YouTube video. Because many have probably been waiting for such a controller. For example, some write:

• “I’ve been waiting for a controller like this since the PS4.”
• “The best controller in gaming just got better.”
• “I’ve been waiting for something like this for a long time.”

Another user explains under the video what many users are particularly happy about:

The ability to swap out the stick modules is really something special. This means if your sticks start to drift so that they are unplayable, you can simply swap out the whole module and it will work like new again!
