Hi, just wondering if anyone has played War Thunder with the DualSense Edge controller and has any feedback on its performance. Could you also confirm if the two back buttons actually give an “extra” two buttons on the controller for use in game? Or do the joysticks not have a press down function any more for L3 and R3?
Any other feedback would be appreciated, things it did really well or bad that affected War Thunder gameplay?
There may not be any interest, but I’ll post this here for maybe that one person who wants to know in 5 years time lol. I bought the Dualsense Edge and can confirm the back buttons DO NOT give you an extra 2 buttons for War Thunder. Sadly their only function is to remap an existing button on a PS5 controller to that position.
Additionally, the joysticks don’t seem to be of a higher quality so you still get that poor sensor performance, especially noticeable in War Thunder on the free view axis that results in the camera being jittery.
It would have been nice if Sony had also built in the ability to remap those back buttons to a keyboard button. Such is life.

Yeah I’m disappointed with this myself. It would be amazing to use my bottom paddles/buttons for bombs or small caliber weapons. It’s like a slap in the face to see you can changeu the buttons for different calibers just to find out you can’t for dual sense edge PS5 controllers.
I’m aware this is a total first world problem lol like omg I can’t get my $200 controller to function properly on War Thunder. However, it can’t be that complicated for them to solve this issue. I guarantee if WAR THUNDER put their worst intern on it we’d have it done in a day.
It’s nothing to do with War Thunder, this disappointment is entirely on Sony. Sony would have to make it so you can map a different input like a keyboard button on the controller.
