PS5 users uncover helpful gaming tip in popular Reddit thread
A recent thread on Reddit's r/playstation has caught the attention of PlayStation users, as it features valuable tips and tricks shared by fellow gamers. One user, _oldschoolfellow, initiated a discussion asking for PS5 tips from pro players. The comments section was flooded with suggestions from PlayStation fans, but one particular tip regarding the controller's microphone stood out.
Mute the Controller Mic for Optimal Gaming Experience
According to a user's advice, it is crucial to ensure that the microphone on the PS5's DualSense controller is on mute. They claim that when the microphone is active, it affects the performance of the adaptive trigger feature, which is designed to enhance immersion in games. The adaptive triggers provide varying levels of force and tension, allowing players to feel physically connected to their in-game actions, such as pulling back a bowstring or hitting the brakes on a car.
While PlayStation's official website does not mention any negative impact of the controller mic on this feature, some users claim to have experienced a difference. One Reddit user expressed surprise, stating, "Holy, I've had my PS5 for about 2 years and never heard about this." The original tip provider acknowledged the lack of clear information, stating, "Yep! It's annoying that it's not clearly mentioned anywhere, as far as I know anyway." They encouraged others to test the mic settings in-game and toggle mute on and off to see the difference.
