DualSense Edge has less autonomy than the Original Dualsense
Last August Sony Interactive Entertainment announced to the world the new DualSense Edge, which is basically a counterpart to Microsoft’s Xbox Elite Series. Offering parts customization and finer-tuned controls as benefits, the DualSense Edge is scheduled to launch next January next year for 239.99 euros. However, it turns out that the autonomy of this command is lower than that offered by Dualsense, which comes with PlayStation 5.
This discovery was made by the staff of The Verge, who in their practical impressions with the hardware, and later Sony confirmed this situation in an official statement, where it reveals that the command even has a “moderately shorter” autonomy:
The operating time of the DualSense Edge wireless controller is moderately shorter than the original DualSense wireless controller because we’ve packed a lot more features into the same form factor and ergonomic design as the original DualSense controller. We wanted to strike a good balance between wireless uptime and providing robust, high-performance features. Plus, the longer braided USB cable is also great for competitive gamers who prefer to play with a wired connection to avoid wireless interference – this option conserves battery life.
As can be seen from the statement above, Sony tries to play down concerns regarding the frequent need to charge your controller. However, it’s a little disappointing that a premium PlayStation controller, which costs the equivalent of 3 or 4 Dualsense units, doesn’t come with a more robust battery, especially when there are numerous complaints across the internet from people bemoaning the relatively low battery life. weak of the original DualSense, compared to the DualShock 4 (PlayStation 4 controller).
Regardless of how you feel about the battery, the DualSense Edge is scheduled to be available on January 26, 2023, but for that you’ll have to spend the equivalent of half the price of the PS5. i.e. 240 euros.
