The DualSense Edge has fallen to one of the lowest we’ve seen for Black Friday

We’ve seen Sony’s DualSense Edge discounted on a few occasions this year, and now it’s back on sale ahead of Black Friday as part of Sony’s ongoing holiday promo. Right now, you can snag the pro-style gamepad in either black or white at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy for around $169 ($30 off), which is just $10 shy of its previous low. The black version of the DualSense Edge is seldom discounted by this much, so now’s a good time to pick one up if you prefer the stealthier look.

If you spend a lot of time gaming on the PlayStation 5, the DualSense Edge elevates the experience by offering more customization than Sony’s standard DualSense controller. For starters, its deep software integration with the PS5 lets you create up to four profiles, each with customization options for b***on mapping, stick sensitivity, and a**igning commands to the rear b***ons. You can create separate profiles for Ghost of Yōtei and Arc Raiders, for instance, and swap between them on the fly without having to leave your game.In addition to custom profiles, the DualSense Edge lets you adjust the feel of the triggers (L2 and R2), so you can tailor them to specific play styles and games. You can set the triggers to be more sensitive for online shooters like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, or less sensitive for racing games to achieve smoother acceleration and braking. Moreover, the Edge makes it easy to swap out stick modules in case one stops working.As much as we enjoy how much you can customize the DualSense Edge, though, it’s not without its faults. In his review, The Verge’s Cameron Faulkner found that the controller averaged only about eight hours of battery life on a full charge, which is worse than the standard DualSense controller. It does, however, come with a long charging cable that can lock into the controller, preventing it from accidentally being yanked out.

I switched from Notion to a plain Markdown folder and Syncthing, and I’m faster than I ever was before

I have been a long-time Notion user. I have used it to take notes, prepare documents, write my articles, and even present things to people. I stuck around primarily because it has a dark mode, which Google Docs doesn’t have on desktop, and I found features like rich embeds helpful.

My Jellyfin server has four layers of protection, and RAID isn’t the most important one

I’ve invested enough time in my Jellyfin library that losing it would be more than a storage problem. The media files matter, obviously, but so do everything I’ve done around them: folder organization, metadata, artwork, watched status, collections, and all the little choices that make the server behave the way...

Netflix looks worse on my PC than on a $30 streaming stick, and it isn’t the hardware

There is a major hardware contrast between my $2,500 custom gaming PC that features an RTX 40-series GPU, a high-end 4K HDR display, and a Gigabit fiber connection, and a $30 Amazon Fire TV Stick plugged into the same monitor. Yet somehow my PC delivers a blurry, artifact-ridden 720p or...

I found this Claude feature so good that I canceled ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity

I have spent enough time switching between ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude to know that most AI assistants are starting to feel similar. Switching between them often comes down to small differences in speed, integrations, or output quality.

I turned an old laptop into the most useful device in my house, and it took an afternoon

Devices that once served a great purpose in your life slowly become neglected as they become technologically weaker or obsolete. I have a decent collection of such devices, ranging from old Hi-Fi speakers to smartphones and laptops that feel outdated by today's standards. My oldest laptop was tucked inside a...

Someone modded their Steam Deck to look like an Xbox 360 handheld, and I’m in love

I think every Xbox gamer has their favorite console in terms of aesthetics. As much as it had a bulky controller and a very 2000s-like vibe, my vote definitely goes for the original Xbox. However, some people fell in love with the Xbox 360, such as this tinkerer who decided...

You, too, can play Minecraft on the SNES with this surprisingly playable version of the hit game
