BLACK OPS 7 · CONTROLLER SETUP

DualSense Edge
settings for BO7.

A responsive SMG and AR baseline for sensitivity, stick curves, trigger stops, back buttons and saved controller profiles—with practical notes for Ronin Zen users.

01 · IN-GAME

Sensitivity settings.

ParameterStarting value
Horizontal sensitivity1.65
Vertical sensitivity1.65
ADS sensitivity multiplier0.85–0.90
Response curveDynamic

A slightly lower ADS multiplier can preserve fine control during engagement while keeping the base rotation speed responsive.

02 · EDGE HARDWARE

Stick configuration.

ControlRecommended baseline
Left stick · movementStandard curve, linear response, no acceleration
Right stick · aimDynamic curve: controlled near center, more reactive toward the edge
Left dead zoneMinimum stable value, approximately 5%
Right dead zoneMinimum stable value, approximately 5%—never force zero when drift is present

The correct dead zone is the lowest value that remains stable on your individual controller. A universal number cannot account for stick wear or drift.

03 · TRIGGERS

Trigger response.

TriggerConfiguration
R2 · FireShortest stop for immediate activation and minimum travel
L2 · ADSMedium-short stop for fast activation with additional protection against accidental input
Trigger dead zoneMinimum stable value on both triggers

04 · BACK BUTTONS

Keep your right thumb on aim.

ButtonAssignmentPurpose
Back LeftJump · XJump without moving the right thumb away from the aim stick
Back RightCrouch / Slide · CircleCrouch or slide while maintaining aim-stick control

05 · SAVED PROFILES

Three profiles to keep.

P1

SMG Rush

Close-range starting point with sensitivity 1.65, Dynamic right-stick curve and the shortest R2 stop.

P2

AR Mid

Versatile mid-range profile with a slightly longer L2 stop and ADS multiplier starting at 0.85.

P3

Default

A factory-like baseline for comparison, troubleshooting and testing one change at a time.

06 · TESTING ORDER

Calibrate step by step.

  1. 01

    R2 trigger stop

    Begin with the shortest R2 stop. Test it for two or three matches before changing another setting.

  2. 02

    Right-stick dead zone

    Lower the value gradually until drift appears, then increase it slightly until the aim remains still with relaxed hands.

  3. 03

    Dynamic or linear curve

    Test Dynamic for approximately five matches. If fine aim feels inconsistent, compare it with Linear before deciding.

  4. 04

    Back buttons

    Assign Jump to the left back button and allow at least five matches to rebuild muscle memory.

  5. 05

    ADS multiplier

    Fine-tune between 0.85 and 0.90 depending on whether ADS movement feels too fast or too slow.

Using this baseline with Ronin Zen.

Set and test the native DualSense Edge profile first. Then configure Ronin Zen independently for the selected BO7 edition. If aim or movement feels inconsistent, return to the Default Edge profile to determine whether the behavior comes from the controller baseline or the software configuration.

The settings in this guide are native DualSense Edge options. References to their native operation do not constitute a representation that combining them with third-party hardware or software is approved by Sony, Activision or any game publisher.
