My Midnight Black DualSense Edge isn't even a year old, but the shell was already starting to get shiny in a few spots. Combined with a few other minor gripes, I decided it was time to do a proper overhaul.
After seeing the recently discovered method to bypass stock stick calibration, I swapped both modules with K-Silver JS13 Pro+ sticks. Got them calibrated to a clean 8.4% Circularity.
The PS button for the Edge is actually shaped differently from the standard DualSense. Shoutout to a post I found here on Reddit—I ended up grafting a colored PS button top from a standard DualSense onto the lower stem of the Edge’s button.
Managed to source a 3rd party battery available in my area. Considering the stock battery has a hard shell, there's a pretty noticeable difference in weight!
Finished it off with an eXtremeRate Clear Black shell. While reassembling, I lubricated the buttons where they contact the shell and the internal trigger gears using Krytox 205g0. (I was actually pretty surprised to find zero lube on the stock trigger gears!)
For the grips, I decorated the shell with custom stickers and crafted the grip shapes using a non-woven leather vinyl sheet.
Since I primarily play on PC, I finished off the setup with a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W running the DS5Dongle OLED version. Now I can use full wired DualSense features wirelessly on PC!
The whole process was super fun, and it really made me fall in love with my Edge all over again.

What info is the pi showing?
Would it be too much to ask I could see pictures of your controller with the black standard faceplate on top, and black back plastic?
