Knowing how to turn off the PS5 adaptive triggers and haptic feedback isn't a bad idea, as some prefer otherwise and games are still learning to use them. Or perhaps we should say, adapting to them. If you'd rather your controller fight back a little less, or just feel the new immersion tech is a little overwhelming, we'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.
