The DualSense Edge looks slick in Midnight Black, and the color even extends to its included carrying case. Our pick for the best premium PS5 controller, the DualSense Edge is a high-performing gamepad with a great feel and ample customization features.
The DualSense Edge has adjustable trigger locks with three stopping points, two styles of remappable back triggers, and a pair of Fn (Function) buttons that can be reprogrammed to quickly cycle through and adjust settings or switch profiles on PS5. On PC, the Function buttons can be mapped to any input.
You can remap inputs, create trigger and stick dead zones, tweak stick sensitivity, and adjust haptic feedback intensity in the PS5’s menu system. On PC, you can use the official PlayStation Accessories app to make these changes.
Here’s what you get with the DualSense Edge:
- Two pairs of remappable back triggers: standard and lever styles
- Two Function buttons
- Three pairs of stick caps: standard, tall dome, low dome
- Braided USB-C cable with optional connector housing
- Hardshell carrying case

The PlayStation Portal is a Remote Play handheld for PS5 users who want to access their library while away from their console. While there are cheaper options for Remote Play, including your smartphone, the PlayStation Portal retains the authentic experience with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. The Portal has superb ergonomics and the 8-inch 1080p display is gorgeous.

The Pulse Explore Wireless Earbuds come with six earbud tips to help find the best fit and are compatible with PS5, PC, Mac, PlayStation Portal, and mobile devices via Bluetooth. The earbuds support the PS5’s audio features, such as Tempest 3D Audio, and have two hidden microphones for chat. They can run for five hours on a full charge, and the included charging case adds 10 additional hours of playback. The Pulse Explore support simultaneous connections via PlayStation Link and Bluetooth.
$150
The Pulse Elite brings up to 30 hours of battery life and impressive mid-range audio quality from planar magnetic drivers. Like the Pulse Explore earbuds, the over-ear Elite headset supports spatial audio and have built-in tech that helps block out unwanted noises when chatting with friends. You can use the retractable mic to make calls on your mobile device via Bluetooth while retaining your PlayStation Link connection to PS5, PC, Mac, or PlayStation Portal.
Inside the box, you’ll find the PlayStation Link adapter, USB-C cable, a charging hanger, and a mounting plate.
