The PS5 brings an all new DualSense controller which is a massive improvement over its predecessor — the DualShock 4. Among its various impressive upgrades, including the new ‘Create’ button, the controller brings highly refined haptic feedback as well as adaptive triggers. These features make gaming more immersive. However, if you don’t like them, you can customise these haptics, or even turn them off. So, here’s how to adjust or disable PS5 DualSense controller haptics.
Personally, I really enjoy the new haptics on the DualSense. In games like Call of Duty, and Spider-Man, the controller offers an immersive experience. That said, some people prefer to not deal with the trigger-tension from the adaptive triggers. Or maybe you just don’t want the haptics to be that imposing.

How to Adjust Haptic Feedback in DualSense Controllers
If you simply want to adjust the haptic feedback on the new controller to make it slightly less apparent in games, just follow the steps below.
- Go to Settings -> Accessories.
On the other hand, if you find the trigger-tension that games like Black Ops Cold War use to be too high for you, you can adjust that as well.
- Here, scroll over to ‘Controllers’ and select ‘Trigger Effect Intensity’.
A lot of people actually prefer to not have the haptic feedback on their controller at all. If you’re in that camp, here’s what you need to do.
- Select ‘Off’
If adaptive triggers aren’t your thing, and turning them down isn’t working for you either, you can completely disable the feature as well.
While I would recommend that you keep haptics and adaptive triggers enabled in order to get the full experience that the console as well as the new PS5 games offer, if you feel hindered by the DualSense controller’s haptics, you now know how to turn them off.
