THINK you have mastered the DualSense Controller’s secrets? You might still be missing a couple.
You need to check out these five PS5 controller hacks from The U.S. Sun.

Sony’s new PS5 joypad was lauded by many when launched along with the console.
This gun has an intuitive design with adaptive triggers. It also features a powerful vibration system.
And it even included a brilliant Easter egg: the grippy texture on the outside is actually made up of tiny PlayStation logos – just take a look up close.
You might not have noticed five of the clever features.
Trick No. 1
You can adjust the intensity of your adaptive triggers.
DualSense is a feature that allows you to adjust the level of resistance for the triggers based on your current activity.
This feature can be reduced or turned off.
It could work well in fast-paced games like Call of Duty where speed is more important than immersion.
Trick 2
Take a look at your controller – just under the PS button.
A small button in the shape of a dash will appear.
Press it just once and it will change to orange, muting your microphone.
If you keep it pressed, the system will be muted.
Trick 3
It’s probably something that many gamers already know, but they may forget just how valuable it can be.
DualSense’s front panel is a touchscreen that can be used to navigate with your finger.
It makes it very easy to select items and – more importantly – to type out text quickly.
Trick # 4
Some gamers love the Share button at top left.
If you rarely use the program, it may be worth changing its function.
You can re-map the button b going into Settings > Captures and Broadcasts.
Trick #5
Five, if your controller’s battery is always running low, you can use this hack.
It’s possible to shut down the DualSense controller on its own – and without going into any menus.
You only need to hold down the PS button for 10 seconds.
DualSense batteries will last longer if this is a habit.
