Pair the controller

The first time you use the controller, you'll need to pair it with your PS5™ console.

1. Turn on your console.
2. Connect the controller to your console using the included USB cable.
3. Press the (PS) button.
   The controller powers on. After the light bar blinks, the player indicator lights up.

When your controller has enough battery life, you can disconnect the USB cable and use your controller wirelessly.

Customise the controller

Change the stick cap
Switch out the stick caps with one of the different types included and find which best suits your playstyle.

Remove the caps
Pull the cap directly away from the controller.

Attach the caps
Press the cap down onto the stick until you hear a "click".

Attach or remove the back button
The back buttons are changeable. Choose from the different back button types included to best suit your playstyle.
For more details on assigning functions to the back buttons, refer to the PS5 User's Guide.

Attach the half dome back button
Insert the half dome back button into a back button slot. The half dome back button is interchangeable.

Attach the lever back button
Insert the lever back button into the corresponding back button slot. The right and left lever back buttons are not interchangeable. Check which button is right (RB) and left (LB) before attaching them.

Remove the back button
Pull the back button inwards and towards the top of the controller. Then, in that position, lift it up from the slot.

Replace the stick module
If a stick doesn't work properly or stops working, you can replace it with a new stick module for DualSense Edge Wireless Controller (sold separately). Left and right stick modules are interchangeable and can be attached to either side.

• Replace the stick module out of the reach of young children, as there is a danger of it being mistakenly swallowed.
• Take care not to catch your hands in the stick module's lever or gaps in the controller, as this may cause injury.
• When turning the controller on, make sure the front cover is securely attached.

Notices

• Before attaching or removing the stick module, touch a nearby metal-grounded object to remove any static electricity from your body. Failure to do so may cause the stick module or controller to malfunction.
• Do not touch the connectors on the stick module or inside the controller.

1. Make sure the player indicator on the controller is off.
   If the player indicator is on, press and hold the (PS) button until it turns off.
2. Disconnect the USB cable from the controller.
3. Remove the front cover.
   Slide the RELEASE latch on the back of your controller to remove the cover.
   
4. Raise the release lever.
   
5. Remove the stick module, and attach a new stick module.
   Make sure that the stick module is positioned correctly, and then slide the module along the grooves of the controller.
   
6. Lower the release lever.
   
7. Attach the front cover.
   Align the raised parts of the cover with the notches on the controller, and then carefully push the cover into place.
   

Change the stroke of the L2/R2 buttons
You can adjust the stroke (trigger length/stop) of the L2/R2 buttons, which is how far you can push down the buttons.
To adjust this, move the L2/R2 stop sliders on the back of your controller.

When the stop sliders are set to short or medium, trigger effects will not be available.

Set up a profile
You can save stick sensitivity, vibration strength, button assignments, and other controller settings as a profile.

• Assign your favorite profiles to a shortcut to quickly switch between them during a game. Use the Fn button to switch profiles.
• Assigned profiles are saved to your controller. Take your controller with you and play with your profile on any PS5 console.

To set up a profile, go to your PS5 home screen and select Settings > Accessories > DualSense Edge wireless controller.
For more details on setting up a profile, refer to the PS5 User's Guide.

Use the controller with a wired connection

To use the controller with a wired connection, you first need to set the connection method. From the PS5 home screen, select Settings > Accessories > Controller (General) > Communication Method, and then select Use USB Cable.

Lock the USB cable to controller
You can lock the USB cable to the controller to stop the cable from detaching. Open the connector housing and place the USB cable inside so that the connector protrudes from the outside. Then, close the connector housing.

Once you connect the USB cable to the controller, use the connector housing's slider to lock and unlock the USB cable to your controller.
The connector housing is compatible only with the included USB cable.

Charge the controller

While your PS5 console is on or in rest mode, connect the controller to your console using the included USB braided cable. When charging the controller in rest mode, the light bar on the controller slowly blinks orange. When charging is complete, the light bar turns off.

• To charge the controller while in rest mode, you have to configure the settings. From the PS5 home screen, select Settings > System > Power Saving > Features Available in Rest Mode > Supply Power to USB Ports, and then select a setting other than Off.
• You can also charge the controller by connecting it to your computer or other USB device using a USB cable. Be sure to use a USB cable that complies with USB standards. You may not be able to charge your controller on some devices.

Stop use and disconnect cables immediately if the product functions in an abnormal manner, produces unusual sounds or smells or becomes too hot to touch.

RADIO WAVES
Radio waves may affect electronic equipment or medical devices (for example, pacemakers), which may cause malfunctions and possible injuries.

• If you use a pacemaker or other medical device, consult your doctor or the manufacturer of your medical device before using the wireless networking feature (Bluetooth® and wireless LAN).
• Do not use the wireless networking feature in the following locations:

MAGNETS AND MEDICAL DEVICES
This product has magnets which may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators and programmable shunt valves or other medical devices. Do not place this product close to such medical devices or persons who use such medical devices. Consult your doctor before using this product if you use such medical devices.

VOLUME LEVEL
Permanent hearing loss may occur if the headset or headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. Over time, increasingly loud audio may start to sound normal but can actually be damaging your hearing. If you experience ringing or any discomfort in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the sooner your hearing could be affected. To protect your hearing:

• Limit the amount of time you use the headset or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid raising the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Lower the volume if you can't hear people speaking near you.

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
The controller contains a lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Do not handle damaged or leaking lithium-ion batteries. If the built-in battery fluid leaks, stop using the product immediately and contact the appropriate PlayStation customer service helpline which can be found within the accompanying documentation. If the material gets into the eyes, do not rub. Immediately flush the eyes with clean water and seek medical attention. If the material comes into contact with the skin or clothes, immediately rinse the affected area with clean water and consult your doctor. Do not allow the battery to come into contact with fire or subject it to extreme temperatures such as in direct sunlight, in a vehicle exposed to the sun or near a heat source. Never attempt to open, crush, heat or set fire to the controller or the battery. Do not leave the battery charging for a prolonged period of time when the controller is not in use.

YOUNG CHILDREN INJURIES

If you have an ailment or an injury, do not play titles with these features using the controller unless you have set those functions to "Off". To enable or disable the features, select Settings > Accessories from the home screen of the PlayStation®5 console.

Static shock
When using the headset or headphones in particularly dry air conditions, you may sometimes experience a small and quick (static) shock on your ears. This is a result of static electricity accumulated in the body, and is not a malfunction of your headset or headphones. This effect could be reduced by wearing clothes made from materials that do not easily generate static shock.

Motion sensor
When using the motion sensor function of the controller be cautious of the following points. If the controller hits a person or object, it may cause accidental injury or damage.

• Before using the motion sensor function, make sure you have enough space to move around.
• Firmly grip the controller to prevent it from slipping out of your grasp and causing damage or injury.
• If using a controller that is connected to the PS5 console with a USB cable, make sure there is enough space for the cable so that the cable will not hit a person or object.

Light bar
