When navigating the system UI, Cross is for confirming, while Circle is for cancelling<\/li>\n<li>Touchpad: Taken from the DualShock 4, this can be used similarly to laptop touchpads for navigation, and is also clickable on both sides. Some games maybe even use the left and right side of the touchpad as separate buttons<\/li>\n<li>PlayStation button: Similar to the home button of past controllers, only it\u2019s now a PlayStation shaped button. Pressing it opens the Control Centre for quick navigation to things like Activity cards and Notifications while in-game. Hold to go to the Home Screen menu for accessing other games, media apps as well as Settings<\/li>\n<li>Create button: Left of the touchpad with three lines shooting up like a flash, this is like the PS4\u2019s Share button where you can take screenshots, video captures as well as have quick access to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2020\/11\/20\/find-ps5-screenshots-gameplay-recording\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Media Gallery<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Options button: Right of the touch pad with three horizontal lines above it, this is the same as the Options button on the PS4, usually for pausing or entering a game menu.

L1 and R1 are digital buttons, whereas L2 and R2 are new Adaptive Triggers.

You could make these adjustments in Settings, but a much easier way is on the controller itself. There\u2019s a light just under the PlayStation-shaped button in the centre, but it\u2019s also a button. Just press this and an amber light comes on to indicate that your microphone has been muted. On the screen, an icon also appears on the top right of the screen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ps5-controller-1.jpg\" alt width=\"1468\" height=\"827\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-774085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ps5-controller-9.jpg 1468w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ps5-controller-10.jpg 156w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ps5-controller-11.jpg 600w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ps5-controller-12.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ps5-controller-13.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ps5-controller-14.jpg 231w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1468px) 100vw, 1468px\"><\/p>\n<p>If on the other hand, you prefer to use your own microphone, such as from a gaming headset, the PS5 will automatically switch to another microphone source the moment it\u2019s connected to the PS5, either by cable or paired wirelessly.

This is also where you can adjust the volume of your headphones, which will be greyed out if one isn\u2019t connected. If on the other hand you have connected a pair of headphones, the Controller Speaker will automatically grey out, which means no sound should be coming from your controller\u2019s built-in speaker when you\u2019re wearing headphones.<\/p>\n<h3>How to turn on or off the DualSense\u2019s Adaptive Triggers<\/h3>\n<p>The Adaptive Triggers have been marketed as a more immersive way to play games, increasing pressure when drawing back the strings of a bow or creating the sense of a gun jamming. But maybe that\u2019s not for you, or you\u2019d rather it was dialled down, or it makes the triggers inaccessible for you.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, you can turn this off from Settings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ps5-controller-3.jpg\" alt width=\"1463\" height=\"819\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-774083\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ps5-controller-21.jpg 1463w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ps5-controller-22.jpg 156w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ps5-controller-23.jpg 600w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ps5-controller-24.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ps5-controller-25.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-new-ps5-controller-26.jpg 232w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1463px) 100vw, 1463px\"><\/p>\n<p>You want to go to Accessibility and then go to Controllers. From here, select Trigger Effect Intensity where the triggers are by default set to Strong (Standard). You can adjust this to Medium, Weak or just turn it off completely.<\/p>\n<h3>How to charge your DualSense controller<\/h3>\n<p>The DualSense has considerably better battery life than the DualShock 4, though it varies depending how frequently the Adaptive Triggers, rumble and speakers are used, with reports that it only lasts a few hours when playing Astro\u2019s Playroom.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, recharging the controller is very straightforward. As with most controllers and other modern devices, the DualSense has a USB-C port at the top and you can use the USB cable included with the PS5 to connect to any of the console\u2019s USB-A ports, including one at the front. If you have your own USB-C to USB-C cable, you can also plug this into the USB-C port, which should recharge the controller even faster.<\/p>\n<p>You can keep an eye on your DualSense\u2019s battery life easily by pressing the PlayStation button to bring up the Control Centre where you should be able to see an icon of a controller with a battery gauge next to it. It will also animate to indicate when the controller is being charged by the PS5.<\/p>\n<p>But as USB-C can be used on any number of devices, there\u2019s nothing stopping you from connecting the DualSense anywhere else to charge especially if your PS5 is turned off. Alternatively, if you\u2019re sitting away from your PS5 and don\u2019t want to worry about running out of battery during a long session, you should have no problem connecting it to a portable power bank.<\/p>\n<p>Like the DualShock 4, the DualSense has charging pins underneath where its headphone jack is also located. This means you can place the controller onto a charging dock, which may be better if you own more than one controller. If you had a charging dock for the PS4, you unfortunately won\u2019t be able to use this for PS5 as the charging pins are different on the DualSense, not to mention the controller\u2019s a different shape and won\u2019t fit anyway.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/2020\/11\/23\/ps5-dualsense-guide-everything-need-know-new-ps5-controller\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The DualSense controller is the star attraction of the PS5, literally giving you the feel of next-gen in your hands.
