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

I didn't see it till the comparison here. I remember getting my 360 controller before I even got my console and remembered how blown away I was. Now it really does kinda look like a cheap toy by comparison.When you see this new controller and a white 360 controller right after each other it really hammers home how much better this new controller looks. We have come a long way aesthetically.
The 360 controller now looks a Fisher Price toy. And I say that as someone who loved his 360 Controller for PC to death.
The PS5 controller really has grown on me the more I look at it. Still don't like the two tone though.
I like it, not sure about the trackpad though, I mean it wasn't really use that much this gen, or am I missing something here? It's the same trackpad right? or does it have new features?
Surprised by the negative reactions. I think it looks sleek, comfortable to hold and has a good mix of sticking with tradition and embracing new aspects.
All these redesigns... makes me very hyped !!
The controller can be very beautifully good looking one.

Now,you see these are the real questions we need answered.....those stickers are annoying,I've currently got one hanging off and have stuck it back on with selotape,lol.
They've done it in the past a few times with the handhelds. It certainly makes for a cleaner aesthetic. Especially when paired with white. It's probably the same reason most games these days don't bother including the colour for the symbols when showing on-screen UI elements.
I'm guessing it's simply there for Backwards Compatibility purposes, because if they were to remove it some people would need to go out and buy a DS4 just to play some BC PS4 games. And unless Sony states otherwise I would just assume it has the same exact features as the DS4 touchpad.
Super serious. Both the Wii U Pro Controller and the Xbox One Controller's D-Pads have great points of center, they are great for Quarter circles and Half Circles, the travel between different points and directions are much better, they are super tactile in their movements so you get much better sense of your points of articulation on movement and most importantly for me, they are comfortable. After playing a fighting game for 30 minutes on a PS4 controller my thumb is aching like hell. Hard edges, horrible inward slope and the D-Pad itself being disconnected with the plastic of the control makes it a horribly discomfortable experience. I can play 2D or fighting games a day on the Wii U Pro Controller or Xbox One controller with no fatigue at all. But the Dual Shock is always a fucking killer to my thumb.
I'm sure they didn't really have a choice if they wanted to commit to backwards compatibility with the PS4.
I was hoping that the touchpad would be cut to pass on some savings
This thing is going to be $70+, isn't it?
More than anything, I'm happy that we're getting a truly unique design with some new innovative features. In order to create new legacies you sometimes have to break your traditions.
I mean this just makes it look less like a MS controller.It does not.

It's not bad, I just prefer the new Xbox controller I think. I just think this new PS5 controller looks too weird, i liked the duel shock 4 but this is too different for me at least.
Sorry, but it looks like we both have different fingers then. The WiiU Pro Controller D-Pad was okay-ish. But that's about it. The Xbox (no matter which one) D-Pad is horrendous.
Of course they cannot cut the touchpad, how the PS5 will BC the PS4 games then?
Plus it looks really good and attractive now on the new DS.
I like it a lot and look forward to the designers getting to try out new two-tone combos after doing a lot of great work on that front with the DualShock 4. The only issue I have is the face buttons not being colored like they've been on every other PS controller. I just noticed the PS Button is now a PS logo-shaped button, which is a cool touch.
So random. I missed this running my mouth with a co worker today....
Vita means life.I love how much it reminds me of the greatest looking portable ever, White Vita 1000
Seeing this controller made me go from not giving a shit as to what the box will look like to being hyped as hell to see it! I'm expecting a more unique design now
lol the stormtrooper jock strapLeaked mood board for PS5 Controller:
i wonder what the console will look like...
Do you think a DS4 is even compatible? And with all the technology in it, it would cost probably a lot to buy 2 or 3 of them.
The name should just be Dual Shock 5, bc it feels like the 6axis
I think the reason for no back buttons is because the average person just doesn't need or even want them.
I realize some people disagree, but I think it's the right call. I think it would make more sense to have it as an optional accessory or on a more premium controller for enthusiasts.
