DualSense Edge — Do You Really Need 2 More Back Buttons?

Sony’s DualSense Edge is the “pro” version of the PS5 controller.
It has customizable triggers, swappable thumbsticks, and yes — back buttons.

But here’s the catch: you only get two back buttons.
If you want more flexibility, your options are limited — and expensive.

🎯 Why Two Might Not Be Enough

In competitive games like Call of Duty, Apex Legends, Fortnite, back buttons let you jump, crouch, reload, or melee without lifting your thumb off the stick.

Two buttons cover the basics, but in high-level play, you often need more than two actions mapped for full control.

Example combos:
- Jump + reload + weapon swap
- Crouch + melee + ability
- Slide cancel + jump + interact

With only two paddles, you’ll still be hitting face buttons mid-fight, which costs time.

💰 The Cost Factor

The DualSense Edge costs around $199.
It’s a premium controller — but not everyone needs (or wants) to spend that much, especially if all you’re after is the back paddle advantage.

💡 A Smarter Alternative for Standard DualSense Owners

If you don’t want to buy the Edge, but still want rear paddles, there’s a simpler, more affordable option: EXKnight Deathclaw.

It’s a snap-on mechanical back paddle mod for the standard PS5 DualSense controller:

✅ Works on any standard DualSense
✅ No tools, no disassembly, no risk
✅ Zero input lag — pure mechanical levers
✅ Installs in seconds
✅ Around $25, not $199

You keep your existing controller, save a lot of money, and still get the competitive edge that paddles provide.

🏆 Final Verdict

The DualSense Edge is powerful, but if your main goal is to get the benefits of back buttons, you don’t need to spend pro-controller money.

For standard DualSense owners, EXKnight Deathclaw is an easy, affordable way to upgrade your gameplay — without touching a screwdriver or draining your wallet.
