How to Set DualSense Edge Wireless Controller Profiles and Settings

Gaming has become more immersive than ever, and with the DualSense Edge wireless controller, you can take your gaming experience to the next level. One of the key features of this controller is the ability to create custom profiles and settings tailored to your unique play style. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up controller profiles and customizing various settings to enhance your gaming performance.

1. Creating a Profile for Your DualSense Edge Wireless Controller

To get started, follow these steps to create a custom profile for your DualSense Edge wireless controller:

1. Go to Settings > Accessories on your PlayStation console.
2. Select DualSense Edge Wireless Controller > Custom Profiles.
3. Choose “Create Custom Profile” and enter a name for your profile. Press OK to confirm.
4. Now, you can select the item you want to customize, such as button assignments, stick sensitivity, trigger deadzone, vibration intensity, or trigger effect intensity.
5. Using Profile Shortcuts for Quick Switching

Having multiple profiles can be incredibly useful, especially if you play different types of games

To quickly switch between profiles during gameplay, you can set up profile shortcuts:

1. Access shortcuts by holding down the Fn button and pressing an action button (triangle, circle, cross, or square).
2. The Fn button and triangle button combination always represent the default profile and cannot be changed. However, you can assign profiles you’ve created to the other three shortcuts.
3. To set up profile shortcuts, go to Settings > Accessories > DualSense Edge Wireless Controller > Custom Profiles.
4. In the Unassigned Profiles tab, select “Assign” next to the profile you want to assign to a shortcut.
5. Choose the desired shortcut for the profile. If a profile is already assigned to the shortcut, it will be overwritten when you assign a new one.
6. Customizing Button Assignments for Easy Gameplay

Everyone has their preferred layout for button assignments.

With the DualSense Edge controller, you can customize the button assignments to suit your comfort and playing style:

1. Create or edit a custom profile as explained in the previous steps.
2. Select “Customize Button Assignments” to modify the button functions.
3. Choose the button you want to change, then select the function you wish to assign to it.
4. If you don’t want a function assigned to a particular button, select “Disable.”
5. Press “Apply” to save your changes automatically.

Remember that you cannot assign another function to the Fn button, and the circle and cross buttons must always be assigned.

4. Fine-Tuning Stick Input: Sensitivity and Deadzone

The sticks on the DualSense Edge controller can be adjusted for sensitivity and deadzone to match your preferences. Follow these steps to customize the stick inputs:

1. Create or edit a custom profile and select “Stick Sensitivity/Deadzone.”
2. Use the directional keys to navigate and select the items you want to change.
3. The sensitivity curve allows you to adjust how the stick responds to different degrees of movement.
4. The deadzone adjustment sets the amount you can move the stick without any input being registered.

Experiment with these settings to find the perfect balance that suits your gaming style.

5. Setting the Trigger Deadzone for Precise Control

The trigger deadzone refers to the amount you can press a trigger button before it registers as an input. To fine-tune this setting:

1. Create or edit a custom profile and select “Trigger Deadzone.”
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the input range for the triggers.
3. This setting is beneficial when you want to prevent accidental inputs, especially during intense gameplay.
4. Personalizing the Function Menu for Convenience

The function menu is accessible by pressing and holding the Fn button on your DualSense Edge controller. You can customize what appears in this menu:

1. Go to Settings > Accessories > DualSense Edge Wireless Controller > Function Menu.
2. Select the options you want to include in the function menu, ensuring easy access to essential features during gameplay.
3. Troubleshooting Button Settings and Profiles

If you encounter unexpected button inputs or issues with your custom profiles, first review the in-game controller settings to ensure there are no conflicts with your DualSense Edge wireless controller profile. If problems persist, you can try resetting your controller or visit PlayStation Repairs for further assistance.

In conclusion, the DualSense Edge wireless controller offers a wealth of customization options, allowing you to tailor your gaming experience to your liking. By creating custom profiles, setting up shortcuts, and fine-tuning various settings, you can optimize your controller to suit your unique play style and enjoy an enhanced gaming journey.
