Controllers from Microsoft and Sony are pretty standard in shape and affordable add-ons. But both companies also offer customizable options, such as swapping joysticks and adding buttons. However, the price is quite high. So before spending a fortune, consider when you really need it.
This time we will try Sony’sPlayStation 5 (PS5)用「DualSense Edge
Wireless Controller” and Microsoft’s “Elite Wireless Controller Series 2” for Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. Both products, which aim to optimize the operation according to the play style of each person, have similar functions. So I decided to do a side-by-side comparison of the two.
However, I would like to point out that there is one crucial difference between the two products. Sony sells the DualSense Edge as a set that includes three types of stick caps and spare shoulder buttons for regarding $200 (reference price in Japan: 29,980 yen), while Microsoft sells the set for regarding $200. $180 (reference price in Japan: 18,678 yen), the controller alone is regarding $130 (reference price in Japan: 14,278 yen).
Considering that there are replacement parts made by third parties and that you can make your own parts with a 3D printer, keep in mind that the only option for the PlayStation 5 is to purchase a full set, whereas the Xbox controller can be purchased alone. sea bream.
Interchangeable joysticks for more precise control
Best of all, the joysticks are interchangeable. Gamers already know that precision aiming is difficult with a standard controller. Due to these circumstances, many home video games that require accurate targeting also have an “aim assist function”. However, there is also a way to improve aiming by changing the controller.
Both controllers have the ability to replace the joystick with a taller one. That alone might not seem like it would make a significant difference, but it does more than improve comfort. A longer stick means the player’s thumb is further away from the center of the joystick module. This means that more thumb movement is required to input the same level of movement, thus effectively increasing the effective range when aiming at small targets. Plus, both allow you to adjust the stiffness of the joysticks, with the sticks set to the stiff setting for greater precision.
This is a game where aiming is critically important and is very useful. In online shooters like Call of Duty and Fortnite, the golden rule is to shoot before your opponent shoots you. The “aim assist function” is also helpful, but there are limits. If you’re having trouble getting your sights close to your target, this controller will be of great help.
Joystick caps come in a variety of shapes and textures to choose from. For both products, the set includes caps with different textures, such as round ones and bumpy ones. It’s a matter of personal preference, but it’s nice to have options.
Change the sensitivity of the trigger to increase reaction speed
The PlayStation controller’s L2 and R2 buttons are called “adaptive triggers”, and the game reflects how hard you press the buttons, and there is a mechanism that allows you to adjust the hardness of the buttons. For example, you can feel resistance when drawing a bow or prying open a wooden box.
