In the market we can find a large number of control knobs To play from a Windows PC, however, the one that offers the best performance and versatility is the Xbox one for obvious reasons. However, the preferred and most used controller is the PS5 controller, the DualSense, a controller that does not get along very well with Windows.
However, that seems to be about to change, or the latest move by the Japanese giant suggests that it will. Sony has just announced the launch of a new app for DualSense Edge controller users, an app that is actually an update and rebranding of the one already available on the market.
We are talking about PlayStation Accessoriesformerly known as DualSense Wireless Controller Firmware Updater, an application that, if you use the DualSense controller to play, you most likely have it installed. This application only served to check if the DualSense controller had the latest firmware installed.
With the new update that this application has just received, we can not only check the installed firmware, but we can also customize its operation, as long as we have the DualSense Edge, since this option is not available with the DualSense controller included with the PS5.
Configure DualSense Edge controller operation
We don’t know why Sony only allows this app to be used to configure the operation of the DualSense Edge and not the DualSense included with the PS5, but it shouldn’t be surprising coming from this company.
The PlayStation Accessories app features a revamped design to accommodate customization options for Sony’s Edge controller. If you don’t have this controller, you can use the app for the same purpose as before: updating the firmware, nothing else.
Starting today PC gamers can unleash the full customizable power of the DualSense Edge controller directly on their computer.
With the PlayStation Accessories app, customize the controller’s settings and update its firmware directly from your Windows PC: https://t.co/QoPFGu8qC7 https://t.co/FQHNkkfbSf

As we can see in the video that the PlayStation account on X (Twitter) has published, within the configuration options of the DualSense controller, we can customize the dead zonesthe joystick sensitivityvibration preferences, trigger adjustment, create different profiles and much more.
This way, it will not be necessary to independently modify the configuration options of the control of each game, a task that, in certain games, is not easy.
Sony launched the DualSense in early 2023, a year after introducing the PS5. Priced at over 200 euros, this controller is aimed at users looking for a controller that can be customized down to the smallest detail, including rear levers, easily replaceable joysticks, a carrying case, and much more.
If your controller is the normal DualSense, this application does nothing more than update the firmware, something that Sony does not do very often. If you want to customize the operation of your controller, one of the best options you can use the DS4Windowsa free and open source application that allows you to customize a large number of options, some very similar to those available on the DualSense Edge.
