The PlayStation Days of Play Sale officially concluded on Wednesday, June 12, but one standout deal remains available for a limited time. Amazon continues to offer the PlayStation 5 DualSense Edge Controller at just $169 – a $30 discount from its usual price. While standard DualSense controllers frequently see price reductions, these premium Edge models rarely go on sale. This professional-grade PS5 controller serves a similar purpose to Microsoft's Elite controller for Xbox Series X.
PS5 DualSense Edge Controller: $169
PlayStation DualSense Edge (Midnight Black)
$199.99 save 15% $169.00 at Amazon
Sony's DualSense Edge represents the pinnacle of PS5 controller technology. Mimicking the premium features of Xbox Elite controllers, it boasts professional-grade components including textured grips, customizable analog sticks, programmable rear buttons, and multiple profile settings. Users can exchange the default analog caps for convex alternatives available in varying heights. The rear buttons offer two configurations: lever-style (similar to Xbox Elite) or compact nubs.
The controller's trigger system receives particular attention - each trigger features adjustable stops allowing users to modify actuation distance (long, medium, or short throws) for competitive gaming advantage. All these components nest securely within an included hard-shell carrying case that doubles as a charging station via its integrated flap design. The package includes a lengthy 9-foot USB-C charging cable.
Unlike standard DualSense controllers, the Edge model supports modular repairs. Replacement analog stick modules retail separately at $19.99.
PS5 DualSense Edge Review by Matthew Adler
"Priced at approximately three times the cost of a standard DualSense, the Edge's $200 MSRP may deter casual gamers. However, Sony packs impressive technology into a familiar form factor. The intuitive function buttons excel at managing custom profiles, while the interchangeable back buttons integrate seamlessly into gameplay. The modular stick system conveniently solves potential drift issues without requiring full controller replacement. Our sole criticism addresses Sony's ongoing battery life limitations - a persistent weakness across PlayStation controllers. Overall, this represents an outstanding debut for Sony's premium controller line."
