How to change PS5 controller brightness
The PlayStation 5's DualSense controller has a lot of nifty features, including a light bar that can be seen around the edges of the touchpad. This can alert you to which player is using which controller, or in some cases even inform you about things like your health levels in a game. Sure, it might feel a bit gimmicky, but it's just another of the many ways in which the DualSense helps immerse us in our games. Nevertheless, you can dim this light any time you'd like by heading into your PS5's settings. Here's how to do so.
