Damn rubber started separating from my Dualsense Edge on the back of the controller. I ended up just buying a new back plate but unfortunately doesn’t have rubber grips.

most custom controllers sites use these same extremerate parts so unless you get some adhesive shyts that’s kinda what you’re stuck with


That being said, that particular panel is pretty easy and one of the first things you gotta remove to get into the controller so it’ll be a simple job. Be careful not to crack it tho the middle section is super thin and will bend easily


I’ve taken apart my DualSense edge 5-6 and could probably do it without instructions at this point. Extremerate can be a slippery slope if you’re creative and like custom shyt

I already put it on. It was very simple. I should have looked into if Sony sells the part though maybe I could have got stock.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's PS5 Pro upgrades are more substantial than you may think

An inside look at the new features COD adds for PS5 Pro - and the latest BLOPs 6 enhancements added for all systems.

www.eurogamer.net

PS5 Pro adds upgrades in shadows, screen space reflections (SSR), screen space global illumination (SSGI), and screen space ambient occlusion (SSAO). Here's how a single frame breaks down into its constituent parts, in particular showing the direct impact of the SSGI light bounce between characters and the environment.
The result is more frames per second than would otherwise be possible. In most scenarios on my own VRR display, frames are actually output at anywhere between 60-120fps, but typically performance hangs between 80-90fps during the opening mission. Only one major drop, briefly under 60fps, is recorded while exploding a planted C4 on the open world missions. Beyond this, the VRR mode genuinely works, and the team claim it to be more responsive than running the game unlocked with the game's actual 120Hz output mode active.

I don't have a Pro, I have the regular PS5. I am just now hooking everything up. I also have a 6 series TCL 120hz panel. I only have one game and that's Spider-Man 2. What mode do you guys recommend playing games on? The TV I have supports 120hz 4k, vrr, 2.1 HDMI, etc.

Performance, always.

in fact go to your settings on your ps5 and make performance mode the default mode for every new game you start.
