Sony DualSense Edge hardware revision

Overview

Sony is reportedly developing a revised version of its DualSense Edge professional controller for PlayStation 5 and PC. FCC filings identify a new model, CFI-ZCP2, which follows the original CFI-ZCP1 model released in early 2023.

The hardware revision is expected to focus on making the internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery more easily accessible and replaceable by users. This modification likely aims to comply with upcoming European Union regulations, specifically EU 2023/1542, which require that portable batteries in consumer electronics be removable and replaceable by the end user using standard tools. These “right to repair” standards are set to take full effect in 2027.

While some speculation suggests the update could include a higher-capacity battery to improve autonomy, official details remain limited. Some FCC documentation, including updated product designs and manuals, is scheduled for public release in late January 2027, with a potential market launch in the first quarter of 2027.
