Comment on People who got a Dualsense Edge for Steam Deck, how would you rate it?
any1th3r3@lemmy.ca 5 months agoThat’s better, although I would probably wait for $130-140.
Yeah, I’m not using the paddles for anything fancy, simply face buttons or R1/L1 / R3/L3 for most games, so your modded DualSense sounds like a nice solution for that. I’m not sure you would get much more with a DS Edge tbh, unless you’re really interested in making trigger adjustments or joysticks replacements (which is certainly a nice-to-have, but also a missed opportunity as they could have gone with hall effect ones…).

Sounds good. The main time I’ve found myself using the Rise4 paddles is for Minecraft. I’m already using both bumpers and both triggers for quick hotbar management, so I’ve got no way to jump or sneak while aiming. So I have L4 = Cross = Sneak, and R4 = Circle = Jump, and that covers all axes of motion.
I guess the difference is just convenience, in that case. With “real” paddles, I could program them in Steam Input and they’d remember their setting per-game, instead of me having to fiddle around with the remap buttons each time I want to enable/disable the paddles. But yeah, since it’s just a convenience, I’ll wait for a better price. Thanks for the sanity check.
