Let's dive into the user profiles I set up to play my favorite games on my DualSense Edge controller for information to help gamers get started.
As a fan of first-person shooters, my setup for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II focuses on precise aiming, custom loadouts, and team communication.
- Variable cap and joystick sensitivity : I replaced the right joystick cap with a high dome cap and coupled it with a preset joystick sensitivity curve for smooth, accurate aiming.
- L2/R2 Stop Slider: Typically, the L2 and R2 button stop sliders are set to a small or medium value for quick reaction to enemy contact.
- Back Keys and Button Mapping: For my play style, the back keys are useful for functions like jumping or changing loads.
- Fn Button : When communicating with my team, I often use the Fn buttons to adjust the volume between games and chats so I can switch between calls and listen to the enemy team's actions.
When I play action games like God of War Ragnarok , I set up my personal profile to show what keys I have in hand.
- Adjustable Joystick Sensitivity : My preferred joystick sensitivity setting is the quick set curve for the left and right sticks for quick camera setup, panning and aiming. Sometimes I switch to the default dynamic curve in a game where I have to aim carefully and move back quickly.
- Back Buttons and Button Map: I usually switch to the semicircular back buttons when they work well with how I'm holding the controller, so I can quickly throw or recall my ax while moving around the map and spotting enemies.
When I install FIFA 23 I focus on setting up skills and quick steps:
- Adjustable joystick sensitivity : In my personal profile, I set up a preset digital curve for the right joystick, making the skill easier to use.
- L2/R2 triggers the stop slider and dead zone. In addition to changing the stop sliders to a shorter value, I changed the trigger dead zones - a combination of both settings allows you to activate the L2 and R2 buttons to quickly run or defend. .
- Back button and button mapping. My two back buttons are for throws and passes, which allow me to perform skill moves while moving around the field.
