Upgrade to the PS5 DualSense Edge controller while it's 15% off
There's always high demand for PlayStation deals, whether it's for the console, its accessories, or its games, so we expect this offer from Amazon for the PlayStation DualSense Edge wireless controller to sell out quickly. It's on sale with a 15% discount that slashes the PS5 controller's price to $169 from $200, for savings of $31. The lowered price is only available for a limited time, which may even be shorter than planned as stocks may disappear at any moment. If you're interested in this bargain, we highly recommend proceeding with your purchase right now. Why you should buy the PlayStation DualSense Edge wireless controller The PlayStation DualSense for the PlayStation 5 is excellent, but it's the PlayStation DualSense Edge that headlines our list of the best PS5 controllers. It's Sony's 'Pro' controller for the PS5 that's designed to provide high performance and deep customization. It offers changeable stick caps, replaceable stick modules, adjustable trigger lengths, and mappable back buttons. The controller also has a dedicated function button for switching between controller profiles, and it comes with a sturdy carrying case where you can keep all of its components organized. In our review of the PlayStation DualSense Edge, one of the negatives about the controller is its high price. However, with the discount from Amazon, it's a more tempting purchase, especially if you want to elevate the experience of playing the best PS5 games, particularly when you're engaging in the online multiplayer modes of cross-platform games. The controller also has a strong build quality, so it will withstand all the button mashing that you have to do to secure a victory. Serious gamers should definitely consider buying the PlayStation DualSense Edge wireless controller, especially now that it's available from Amazon at 15% off. Instead of its sticker price of $200, you'll only have to pay $169, and you can spend the $31 in savings towards more video games for the PS5. This limited-time deal may no longer be around tomorrow though, so if you don't want to miss this special price for the PlayStation DualSense Edge wireless controller, you should buy it today.

GameSir's $30 Nova 2 Lite controller includes Hall effect sticks and triggers.
It's almost a bit boring when compared to the GameSir's $69.99 Tarantula Pro that can change the layout of its face button labels. But for $29.99, the Nova 2 Lite could be a solid alternative to 8BitDo's Ultimate 2C with Hall effect joysticks and triggers that can be locked to a shorter travel for FPS games. It also includes an extra pair of remappable back buttons and is compatible with the Switch, PCs, iOS, and Android.

Deloitte-IMA survey reveals growing impact of AI on cost accounting
The Deloitte Center for Controllership and Institute of Management Accountants (IMA) have reported that finance and accounting professionals are increasingly using AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics to boost business performance. According to the survey, titled Unlocking profitability insights: How companies are leveraging data to enhance business performance, the development was despite the continued dominance of traditional cost accounting and profitability management methods. The survey, which included more than 440 finance and accounting managers, directors, controllers, and CFOs, found that spreadsheets remain the most widely used tool for performance modelling. Nearly 30% of the respondents relied on them compared to just 3% using AI analytics and 1% employing blockchain. Despite this, many professionals anticipate significant changes, with 19% expecting emerging technologies to automate routine tasks and processes. Meanwhile, 18% foresaw use of real-time data analysis and reporting and another 18% predicting a shift from historical to predictive analytics models. More than half of the respondents (53%) said their organisations have either integrated (24%) or plan to integrate (29%) technologies such as AI, blockchain, or advanced data analytics into their cost and profitability management models. The survey also explored the use of cost-to-serve analytics, revealing that only 38% of organisations utilise this approach to assess business goals or adapt strategies to boost profits. Additionally, 54% of the respondents indicated a lack of available reporting or a need to enhance the transparency of cost and profitability reporting within their organisations. Complex and disparate systems were cited as the primary barrier to obtaining meaningful cost data by 15% of respondents, followed by 14% citing data availability issues due to interdependencies between functions, operating units, and departments. Nearly 12% said reduced time for data collection was a benefit of adopting emerging technologies, reported by professionals. While 11 % said it could increase efficiency in reporting and analysis preparation, and 10% noted that the move will improve accuracy in cost estimations. Deloitte & Touche controllership partner Colleen Whitmore said: 'Traditional business performance management methods are not as responsive or as precise as newer tools are at generating data and insights on drivers of cost, critical in today's fast-paced and dynamic operating environment. 'As such, many controllers and CFOs recognise that transformation in cost and profitability management approaches is needed to drive operating performance and better strategic decision-making.'

Linux Kernel 6.15 Is Adding Support for These Game Controllers
The upcoming Linux kernel release, version 6.15, will be arriving in the next month or so, and I'm already seeing previews of what to expect. One of them is recently merged support for several gaming controllers and laptop touchpads. The merge for kernel 6.15rc-6 patches Linux's xpad driver to add support for Xbox gamepads from several different manufacturers. One of them is the 8BitDo Ultimate 3-mode controller, 8BitDo's Xbox-licensed controller that also works on Windows, Apple, and Android devices. This update will add Linux devices to that list. Here at How-To Geek we recently reviewed the Ultimate 2.4G, cousin to the Ultimate 3. We liked it especially for its Hall Effect joysticks, and the Ultimate 3 seems to just add Xbox branding and official support. So as far as I can tell, that controller's probably going to be a great investment for anyone who likes to game with both an Xbox and a Linux device. Also in the list of newly supported controllers is the HORI Drum controller, a percussion peripheral designed specifically for the rhythm-focused game Taiko no Tatsujin Rhythm Festival. The game isn't native to Linux, but ProtonDB at the time of writing gives it a Gold rating, meaning you should have little or no trouble playing it on a Linux PC or Steam Deck. Two PowerA controllers are joining the Linux gaming world with this patch as well. The Fusion Pro 4 is a low-cost wired gamepad made for the Xbox Series X|S that also incorporates Hall Effect joysticks. Then there's the MOGA XP-Ultra, which PowerA calls "the first licensed wireless controller for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One." Another one is the Hyperkin DuchesS Xbox gamepad, a throwback controller reminiscent of the first-generation Xbox controller. It even has the original Xbox logo on it, thanks to a licensing deal with Microsoft. That'll go perfect with your retro Linux gaming setup running Xemu, the original Xbox emulator. If you have one of these gamepads or are thinking of buying one and want to play with it on a Linux device, you're probably wondering when that'll be possible. The 6.15 Linux kernel update I don't expect to get here until around early June. This patch to xpad is being backported, though, so as long as you're on a stable kernel channel still getting updates, the patch should arrive any day. The addition of more gamepad support is no surprise. There's always something new around the corner for Linux gamers, thanks in part to the Steam Deck and how it's been mainstreaming the Linux desktop experience. More gamepad support means more people can use their favorite controller with a Steam Deck or other Linux-supported handheld, resulting in a wider userbase. In the same merge for 6.15-rc6, you can also find updates patching several other peripherals. Some laptops, for example, are having their Synaptic touchpads' input mode changed from PS/2 to the more modern SMBus communication protocol. The affected laptops include: Dynabook Portege X30L-G Dynabook Portege X30-D TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 14 v5 Dell Precision M3800 HP Elitebook 850 G1 Kernel 6.15 also includes fixes for the Mad Catz Joytech NEO SE Advanced controller and PDP's official controller for Mirror's Edge. A glitchy "Share" button on some gamepads is being fixed as well. If you happen to own one of those controllers, or one with a share button that wasn't working, you have a lot to look forward to when 6.15 finally drops in a few weeks. Source: Phoronix
