Sony Interactive Entertainment has released a new DualSense Edge wireless controller that comes with an updated carrying case and USB cable.
The official Sony Store in Japan has added a product page (via Zuby_Tech on Twitter/X) for the DualSense Edge wireless controller version CFI-ZCP2J. The carrying case and USB cable have both been updated, though the price remains the same at 34,980 Yen. A comparison between both versions of the controller can be seen below.
The new controller model may also feature internal hardware revisions and improvements, but further investigation is required in this regard. It may have been designed to comply with the EU law that requires batteries to be user replaceable via basic tools. However, it’s worth mentioning that the battery in the existing DualSense Edge model can already be replaced rather conveniently. On the other hand, there don’t appear to be any such plans for a hardware revision for the regular DualSense controller, as no current FCC filing indicates this.
In August, it was reported that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) published documents for a Sony Interactive Entertainment product carrying the model number CFI-ZCP2. The prior DualSense Edge uses model number CFI-ZCP1. The FCC filing database lists several documents that are unavailable to the public. These include the user manual, internal photographs, external photographs, and test setup photographs. These materials are scheduled to become publicly available on January 31, 2027. Companies may request confidentiality for regulatory materials until a specified date, often to prevent product details from becoming public before an official announcement.
Earlier in December, it was reported that a CFI-ZCT2W revision of the DualSense controller would offer an extended battery life. It comes with BDM-060 board that achieves a longer playtime by removing components such as the secondary mic.
The DualSense Edge wireless controller was launched globally on January 26, 2023.
