Weird how "tall" the pcb is. Almost looks like it wouldn't fit inside the shell.
yeah, lol. I had to download the picture so I could zoom it

It had to be instagram, can't see anything. Hope they do a teardown of the system soon. I wante a Dual Sense for PC, but I hope it's not impossible to repair. I repair all my controllers, it can't be as bad as Stadia at least.
Edit: Oh cool someone posted pics, it looks nice and easy to repair. That's a relief.

Come on Sony, where's our official breakdowns. You said you would do a console one and said we would all be surprised by the cooling solution you took this time
Just the scale. Its looks like the same board shown in other images just flipped to the other side.
Isn't it just the backside of the board with the thumbsticks from the other images?
No reason, the DS3 controller's triggers were held in place by small tabs if I remember correctly. They are designed to be pushed in so there's little pressure on anything other than a spring. Maybe the person mean the resistance feature but none of us know how strong that is and how the player will be encouraged to fight past that resistance to maybe snap some part. Eh, I still don't see how that would break anything though.
How much is going to leak before Sony takes control of the narrative? We're going to see the UI in the wild first at this point.

Nah I mean non render photos. In real life setting. haha
These are all the official pictures we've got since they revealed it. Since then nada :p
Gamepads are one of the most abused pieces of consumer tech and that plastic latch that connects trigger to motors/adaptive part doesn't look that sturdy to me.
Is anyone making shells for the new controllers yet?
Also, I'm massively happy that the handles are wider apart than the ds4... i hope it's heavier too. The ds4 felt too light, almost flimsy to me.

DS4 didn't have intricate design like this. So far design of triggers in gamepad was simple, pivot point and spring. From these pictures it looks like that trigger on DS5 is connected with plastic bit to adaptive part, and my fear is that plastic part.
We can barely make out details. It will suck if a lot of pressure is put on a tiny piece of plastic though, but I don't see how any design would use that.
I'm still surprised Valve used these for the bumpers which break, but for triggers I doubt any company would leave everything to one plastic connection. But Valve wasn't known for making controllers at the time.
Likely there's two tabs somewhere for the Dualsense that allow the triggers to pivot or something at the least. That thing that it's connected to could just be connected by some short flat plastic wire connectors.

It was a widely known issue from launch till 2016. I went through about half a dozen DS4 myself. All had the exact same issue ; Flimsy plastic hinges holding the back triggers that would just snap after a few months of use. Sony redesigned those as part of the Dualshock V2 upgrade, successfully.
I don't see them making a similar mistake again tbh.
