Want to know how to turn off the PS5 adaptive triggers and haptic feedback? The responsive, rumbling elements of the PlayStation 5 controller are some of its biggest sales points, but it's not for everyone, especially when some games are still working out how to make the most of this new tech.
If you'd rather your controller didn't fight you quite as much or find the feedback to be a bit too much, I'll explain how to turn off PS5 adaptive triggers and haptic feedback on the PS5 here.
- From the PS5 home screen, go to the gear icon to open Settings
- Scroll down to Accessories
- Scroll down to Controllers
- To disable the haptic feedback, choose Vibration Intensity and set it to Off
- To disable the adaptive triggers, choose Trigger Effect Intensity and set it to Off
If you have more than one DualSense controller you'll need to change the settings for both. To turn them back on, or adjust the strength of either sensation, just head back into the same menu.
If you have any other questions about the PS5 we've got you covered below with our wealth of guides, from simple things like finding that power button (harder than you think) to all the games you're going to want to play on your new machine.
