Discover the hidden setting that affects your controller's vibration
If you're a PlayStation 5 owner, you might be unknowingly hindering your gaming experience due to a simple mistake. A Reddit user recently shared a trick that can enhance the "haptic" effect of your DualSense controller in seconds. It turns out that there's a microphone setting that automatically weakens the vibration and trigger feedback of the controller when unmuted. By muting the microphone, you can unlock the full potential of your controller's features.
How to fix it
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
- Turn on your PS5 and go to the Settings menu
- Navigate to Sound > Microphone
- Select Mute under Microphone Status When Logged In
By setting your DualSense controller to auto-mute, you can ensure that the vibration and trigger effects are not dampened when you play games.
Optimizing your controller
If you want to further customize your controller's vibration strength, you can follow these additional steps:
- Go to Settings > Accessibility
- Look for Vibration Intensity and Trigger Effect Intensity
- Choose between Off, Weak, Medium, and Strong
For the best experience, selecting the Strong option is recommended. However, keep in mind that some competitive multiplayer games may benefit from weaker or no controller effects. Consider your gaming preferences and adjust the settings accordingly.
Don't let a simple mistake affect your gaming experience. Take a moment to check your controller settings and unlock the full potential of your PlayStation 5.
