The Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 costs around $180, so it’s possible the DualSense Edge will match that price. And the PS5 DualSense Edge controller is further enhanced by its two sets of back buttons that can be mapped to any button input. Much like the Xbox Elite controller, the PS5 DualSense Edge is highly customizable, with adjustable controls, stick caps, back buttons, and even the ability to save control profiles. It would definitely be smart to get this controller out by the holiday season of 2022, but it’s unclear if that will happen. This fully customizable version of the [DualSense](https://www.inverse.com/gaming/ps5-dualsense-astros-playroom-impressions) is the PS5’s equivalent of an Xbox Elite controller, offering a slew of [options](https://www.inverse.com/gaming/ps5-dualsense-controller-features) like swappable stick caps, mappable back buttons, and custom profiles.

Although the PS5's DualSense Edge looks impressive, how Sony chooses to price the controller is a tricky challenge that could make or break it.

[DualSense Edge represents the perfect opportunity](https://gamerant.com/sony-fluid-smoother-dualsense-joystick/) for it to set things right more definitively. Ever since the PS3’s infamous $599 price reveal, the publisher hasn’t been able to fully shake off the idea that it likes to charge a premium for new hardware. Still, that doesn't mean the publisher will want it to be a blot on its record because of an expensive price tag. It’s worth keeping in mind that the original launch DualSense still retails for around $69.99, so players should set their expectations for north of that figure when it comes to a price. Both of those factors however, mean there’s a distinct possibility that the PS5’s new controller will be positioned as a premium piece of technology as well. Even though the idea of an ‘elite controller’ isn’t revolutionary, and the DualSense Edge’s existence leaked online earlier this year, it’s easy to see it still being a coveted piece of technology - which is all the more reason why the asking price Sony sets for it needs to be just right.
