Midnight Black and White DualSense Edge Controllers Receive Official Black Friday Discounts

DualSense Edge PS5 Controller (Midnight Black)

$169 (was $200)

DualSense Edge PS5 Controller (White)

$169 (was $200)

Sony’s premium DualSense Edge controller is currently discounted by $30 as part of PlayStation’s Black Friday promotion. Both the Midnight Black and White variants are available at the reduced price of $169, down from the regular $200 retail cost. While some early deals briefly dropped the price even further, those offers sold out quickly, making this the most widely available discount of the season.

Positioned as PlayStation’s answer to Microsoft’s Elite Series 2 controller, the DualSense Edge is aimed at competitive and enthusiast players who want deeper customization and higher build quality than the standard DualSense provides. Even at a discount, it remains a premium purchase, costing nearly three times as much as a regular DualSense controller.

What sets the DualSense Edge apart is its modular design and extensive customization options. The controller includes two different styles of interchangeable back paddles, allowing players to choose between traditional paddles or smaller semi-dome buttons depending on comfort and playstyle. Only one pair can be attached at a time, but swapping them takes just seconds.

Analog stick customization is another highlight. The controller ships with three different stick cap styles—standard, tall dome, and low dome—which click securely into place. While the stick modules themselves are not magnetic, the design still allows for quick changes without tools.

The DualSense Edge retains the adaptive triggers found on the standard PS5 controller, but adds physical trigger stops that let players limit travel distance. There are three trigger settings, including an ultra-short pull mode that effectively turns the triggers into digital buttons, which is especially useful for shooters.

Two programmable function buttons sit below the analog sticks and allow players to switch between up to 30 saved control profiles on the fly. Profiles can be customized directly on a PS5 or through the PlayStation Accessories app on PC. These profiles support full button remapping, stick sensitivity adjustments, deadzone tuning, trigger response curves, and haptic feedback intensity.

The controller supports wireless connectivity via Bluetooth for PS5, PC, Mac, and mobile devices. Competitive players who prefer wired play can take advantage of the included braided USB-C cable, which comes with a locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnections during intense sessions.

All components are stored neatly in the included hardshell carrying case, making it easy to transport the controller and its accessories safely. Originally released only in a white-and-black color scheme, the DualSense Edge lineup expanded earlier this year with the Midnight Black edition.

DualSense Edge Wireless Controller (PS5, PC, Mobile)

Beyond the DualSense Edge, PlayStation’s Black Friday sale also includes discounts on standard DualSense controllers. All regular models—including multiple limited-edition designs—are available for $20 off. These themed controllers launched earlier this year and feature designs inspired by major PlayStation franchises.

For players comparing alternatives, Microsoft’s Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is also discounted during the holiday sales, offering a similarly premium experience for Xbox and PC users. Several third-party pro controllers aimed at PC players are also seeing notable price cuts.

Overall, the DualSense Edge stands out as one of the most feature-rich console controllers on the market. While the price remains high even with a discount, players who value customization, build quality, and competitive features may find this Black Friday deal to be the best opportunity to pick one up.
