The DualSense Edge is on sale for $175 at Walmart as part of the retailer’s massive deals event that’s running through July 11. The premium PS5 controller released earlier this year with a retail price of $200. Unsurprisingly, we hadn’t seen any notable discounts at major retailers until now. We wouldn’t be surprised if this deal sells out before the end of the day, especially since Walmart+ subscribers were able to purchase it during the early access portion of the sales event earlier today. The DualSense Edge deal is just one of many awesome gaming and tech deals Walmart has ahead of Amazon Prime Day.
While you can get a regular DualSense for $68 (was $75)–and in a lovely range of colors to boot–during Walmart’s sale, the DualSense Edge is what you’d call a more serious piece of kit. It’s designed to be customized to help give you that metaphorical edge in games, and overall, it’s a high-tech option that feels really nice to handle.
It comes with two pairs of remappable triggers, three different sets of swappable thumbstick caps, a USB-C charging cable, and a lovely carrying case to keep the pricey controller as pristine as possible when not using it. You can set up custom profiles, adjust trigger sensitivity, and program dead zones for the analog sticks. You also get all of the neat features found in the regular DualSense controller, such as adaptive triggers and haptic feedback.
“The DualSense Edge incorporates years of learnings from its competitors to present something that ticks all the right boxes for a good high-end video game controller and even improves the user experience in some key ways,” Tamoor Hussain wrote in GameSpot’s DualSense Edge review. “The end result is a pro controller that is iterative, but also looks and feels premium while bringing a customizability to the PlayStation gaming experience that hasn’t existed before.
The DualSense Edge is tied with the Victrix Pro BFG in the premium category on our list of the best PS5 controllers. Over at Amazon, you can buy the standard Pro BFG for $165 (was $180) or the camouflage blue Call of Duty edition for $170 (was $200).
Though you lose Sony’s unique DualSense features (most notably, haptic feedback and adaptive triggers), the Pro BFG has its own unique attributes. With its modular design, you can swap the alignment of the analog sticks to be offset or parallel. You can also remove the module on the right side and replace it with a six-button fight pad. It comes with three swappable D-pads, has. four remappable back buttons, and customizable trigger stops. With Victrix’s app, you can customize trigger dead zones and remap inputs.
There are plenty of other notable gaming offers in Walmart’s big sale. You can get an Arcade1Up Street Fighter 2 cabinet for $250; the cabinet is loaded with a bunch of other Capcom arcade classics as well. Nintendo fans can also grab games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Maker 2 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for just $30 and Walmart’s exclusive Animal Crossing-themed Nintendo Switch Lite bundle has been discounted from $200 to $159. Switch owners can also get a pair of Joy-Con controllers bundled with Super Mario Party for only $69. Meanwhile, you can save big on the Meta Quest 3 VR headset for the first time.
In the toy aisle, there’s a whole lot of Lego to grab as well, like Dom’s Dodge Charger from The Fast and the Furious for $80, an AT-ST Walker from Star Wars for $35, and a rare discount for the Super Mario Pirahna Plant at $48.
