How to Create and Switch DualSense Edge Profiles on PS5

Create a DualSense Edge profile

You need a PS5 and a DualSense Edge wireless controller. Follow Sony’s profile steps on the PS5.

1. Open Settings on the PS5, then select Accessories.
2. Select DualSense Edge Wireless Controller, then select Custom Profiles.
3. Select Create Custom Profile.
4. Type a name for the profile, then select OK.
5. Pick what to change. The choices are Button Assignments, Stick Sensitivity/Deadzone, Trigger Deadzone, Vibration Intensity, and Trigger Effect Intensity.

The new profile shows up in the Unassigned Profiles tab. Select it any time to edit it.

Change the buttons in a profile

1. Open the profile and select Customize Button Assignments.
2. Select the button you want to change, then select the new function. Choose Disable to turn a button off.
3. Select Apply.
4. Select Back to Game. The change saves on its own.

Select Reset to return the buttons to their defaults. To reopen the menu in a game, hold Fn, then press the Options button.

• ⚠️Circle and Cross: You always need to assign both buttons.
• 🎮L2 and R2: You can swap them. You can’t give another button a trigger job, and you can’t give L2 or R2 more than one function.
• 🔒Fn: It can’t take another function, and no other button can take its job. Pressing Fn turns off the other buttons while you hold it.

Assign a profile to a shortcut

1. Open Settings, then select Accessories.
2. Select DualSense Edge Wireless Controller, then select Custom Profiles.
3. Open the Unassigned Profiles tab.
4. Select Assign next to your profile.
5. Pick a shortcut. Assigning a profile replaces the one already on that shortcut.

The Fn + Triangle shortcut holds the default profile, and it can’t be changed. The other three shortcuts take your own profiles.

Switch profiles while you play

1. Hold Fn on the DualSense Edge.
2. Press the Triangle, Circle, Cross, or Square button for the profile you want.

To get a signal when a switch works, go to Settings > Accessories > DualSense Edge Wireless Controller and turn on Receive Feedback When Switching Profiles. The DualSense Edge then vibrates and flashes its player indicator.

Fix buttons that act strangely

Check the controller settings inside the game first. A game setting can clash with a profile. If that doesn’t help, Sony has a page on resetting the DualSense Edge.

Which button would you move first on your DualSense Edge?
