Introducing DualSense, PS5's controller (Audio Jack Confirmed)

[Phamit]

not as ugly as the DS4, but I'm not a fan of "shell" look. Seems like they use the same rubber coated stick as the DS4, which is not good, those peeled of on my ds4's after some time. Hopefully the touchpad is less wobbly than the one on the DS4, but I would have prefered a removal. Mic seems like a unnecessary addition like the speaker.

I'm interested in the haptic feedback and the triggers. Hopefully it is more utilized than the rumble trigger in the XO controller.

Wtf is wrong with some of you people???

It's gorgeous.
Hopefully the console has a similar design and colour scheme

 

[DJ_Lae]

I kind of like it, although the shape of the prongs/handles looks oddly sharp compared to pretty much every other controller out there (including the DS4).

 

[Gilver]

People are so picky wtf. Looks cool, the RB / LB look juicy.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Not bad, but I really wish Sony would change their trigger style.

 

[VGEsoterica]

Interesting. I'll reserve my judgement when I hold it.

 

[rusty chrome]

No paddles confirmed, right? Another stupid choice.

Yah I'm sure people want to pay over $100 for a default controller just for paddles.

Quit complaining about the color! In fact, I bet that the different colors that they'll have is going to be much better with the two-tone controller.

First prediction:
Spider-Man 2 will have a controller that is red and blue (maybe even with the black web design)

Since they are showing a white with black controller, I guess that the console will also be white with black.

Other prediction: Sony will also sell one-tone controllers (all black first)

 

[Mr.Gamerson]

I like it, looks cool. Wonder if it means we get a mostly white body ps5 as the main sku.

 

[Razgriz417]

missed opportunity to not have back buttons or paddles

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

The original tweet already has almost 80k likes in half an hour. Wow

 

[Welfare]

I wonder if the design language is similar to the console.

I like it. Different and interesting.

No paddles confirmed, right? Another stupid choice.

None that are apparent, cant see from the released shots. So I ask WTF was the point of the PS4 back button attachment?!?

 

[Sephiroth]

Yo, the controller is wearing chaps.

 

[R IS REAL 2041]

added the color buttons back

This is what I want

 

[HellofaMouse]

2 tone black with clear face buttons is my favourite so far.

 

[Outrun]

Looks nice.

Thank god they went with the two-tone because this is hideous

 

[KastuśKalinoŭski]

Did some quick tests

btw, lightbar can change color too

 

[Mudo]

Damn it's polarizing in here!

I think it looks cool - white and black version.
Haptic is awesome. Adaptive triggers are awesome.

Im surprised they changed it this much.

What's up with the buttons they look ...flat? Or is it just the color making them look weird?

 

[The Praiseworthy]

Love the new name and definitely love the new design.. very elegant.

But it needs to be in all black +coloured buttons like this and it's perfect:

[BubbaKrumpz]

Array of microphones so it's easier for me to create the ASMR content straight from me DS controlly

 

[Footos22]

I like it. I'm sure cos of the two tone they can make so many different styles.

Excitement rising.

 

[Deleted member 44129]

This had better be good, because my gut feeling is just no.

Its random Tuesday mate. Anything goes.

 

[The Lord of Cereal]

I'm mixed on it. I really do not like the white and black two tone, it looks pretty bad honestly. However, the ergonomics look to be a lot better, and the light being smaller is also a huge plus to me. The touchpad being bigger and more spaced out than everything else (unlike the DS4) also looks to be a big improvement.

The triggers seem a little bit iffy and I am not sure about those large shoulder buttons, but otherwise it seems like a net positive controller, even if I would prefer the analog sticks be further away.

 

[DrFunk]

The more I see it, the more I like it

Hm

 

[Ometeotl]

added the color buttons back

Click to shrink...

Oof this looks like a MadCatz controller now

 

[Nay]

I like it, but it definitely looks better in all black.

 

[Certinfy]

That looks awesome.

 

[Wallace Wells]

I dig it, looks awesome

 

[J_ToSaveTheDay]

Very Spider-Gwen feel to the look, which I like a lot. It's making my imagination run wild with the console design, and I for one am all for a white/black two-tone default!

 

[taepoppuri]

I like the form, but the color combination is not striking.

quick mockup

This one looks sexy!

 

[Megawarrior]

It's beautiful. Ya'll are tasteless. Please let this have the vita's d pad!

 

[Carnby]

I like it!

 

[Bradford]

I don't know how they managed to make a controller that still fucking has lights on it I swear to god.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Why is everyone bitching about paddles? The XSX stock controller doesn't have them either, Sony will probably make an Elite or another back attachment. I prefer it that way, I don't want those intrusive ass things on my stock controller.

 

[ostrichKing]

Definitely in the minority...but honestly...I kinda like it.

 

[OléGunner]

That side view is what got me to really appreciate the evolution over DS4.

The more I see it the more I like it.
The haptics and in built mic stuff is ace too.

 

[Zyae]

Looks like Xbox remains king with nintendo in second with the pro and sony remains in last in the controller space.

Add the colors to the buttons! :)

 

[Hey Please]

Guess some folks are just... Shell-shocked at the unveiling of the new design ;P

 

[Dog]

That's fucking sick.

 

[Alchemist]

added the color buttons back

Better. Thanks for the mock up

 

[NewDust]

My first thought exactly. Then read the blog post and was disappointed there was no info about that.

Click to shrink...

Yeah. I'm not that worried for compatibility of my current titles, my DS4 ain't going nowhere, and I'm pretty sure they'll work on PS5. To me it seems like there are four options.

1. Sony is quietly giving up on PSVR
2. Sony is moving away from light-based tracking and functionality is already built into the DualSense
3. Sony is going to push for new VR controllers with PS5
4. Sony is keeping DS4/Move for VR on PS5

 

[Andi]

Love the design and hope the style continues with the console.
Still not sure what to expect from adaptive triggers and the super special haptic feedback.
The handles look like they can be squeezed or maybe the whole upper handle segments move at different vibration rates to simulate that super haptic feedback?

 

[Fiddle]

Few more colour combos

White bottom layer:

 

[E.T.]

That is a beautiful controller.
Those features are great too.

 

[MilkBeard]

Wtf is wrong with some of you people???

It's gorgeous.
Hopefully the console has a similar design and colour scheme

Click to shrink...

I agree. Even the white, especially with the glossy buttons. I think gamers are just averse to change. Seriously, go back and look at a PS1 controller. Now that's ugly

 

[KernelC]

Jesus Christ Sony, what do I have to do for you put at decent fucking D-Pad on your controllers? I'm so tired of my fingers hurting after a half hour playing a fighting game because your D-Pads are so shit. It's like they perfected it with the Vita's D-Pad and just threw that design out the window.

Click to shrink...

Dualshock is literally the only decent D-Pad in the business. That doesn't either break or drift

Just made a mockup of it in black.

okay, much better.
