Sony’s pro-focused PlayStation 5 controller hardly ever drops from its high $199.99 price point, but thankfully today is a little different. You can get the DualSense Edge for $174.99 (about $24 off) via Walmart’s online-only deal, dropping the specialized gamepad down to its lowest price to date.

The highlight of the DualSense Edge is its impeccable software integration with the PS5. You can fine-tune up to four profiles that each have your own personal tweaks for things like stick sensitivity and custom rear button controls, and it’s easy to swap between profiles on the fly. The Edge also has all the haptics and features of the standard DualSense, along with extras like hair trigger lockouts, interchangeable stick toppers, and two styles of rear paddles / buttons.

Now, the DualSense Edge does have some noteworthy faults for such a pricey controller, like slightly anemic battery life and sticks as prone to drift as its cheaper counterpart packed with every PS5. However, Sony at least baked in some features that somewhat stymie these shortcomings — like a lengthy USB charging cable that has a nifty locking mechanism and user-replaceable stick modules that you can purchase later for $20 if yours ever catch some drift (if you ever find them in stock, of course).

Sony’s pro-style controller, the DualSense Edge, might suffer from shorter battery life than the standard DualSense model, but it features great software integration with the PlayStation 5 and plenty of customizable components.

This sale on the Edge is part of Walmart’s greater sales event running counter to Amazon’s upcoming Prime Day, which is scheduled for July 16th and 17th. The imaginatively named “Walmart Deals” event runs through July 11th, and in addition to the DualSense Edge, there are notable sales like the M1 MacBook Air for $649.
