I kinda love it.

Nice to see Sony adopt the "hamburger button" (the 'three horizontal lines') one.

Lmao!

I like the shape and design, not a fan of the colors. All white would be perfect.

Looks awesome. Glad Sony is doing something a bit different. Hope the console looks similar.

How about a controller that I could split in two and use relaxed, or as a VR wands?

Let me know if I can get those, PlayStation.

I don't care about the white color as there will be multiple options, I guess. (Would never get a white controller as my xbox 360 ones looked really used after a short amount of time)
I am not fond of keeping the touchpad in the middle of the controller - never really got the use of it.
Does the name Dual Sense instead of Dual Shock indicate some other hidden aspects of the controller? I once read that they want to put sensors in the controller which can track the pulse and stuff like that...or maybe I am misremembering.

It looks more comfortable to actually hold than the rest of the ps controllers but the thumbstick placement is still awful.

Hoping the ps5 console follows the same color scheme. Loving those clear buttons. Now give us the classic grey color and an all black.

The fact that they haven't shown the back of the controller makes me think it's got paddles and they want it to be a big surprise.

You know, I'm glad this is a sign that it won't be an all Black launch console for once. Liked the controller, looks different enough.

the tiny mute button is GREAT though. i never want to hear children breathing heavily through their mics in warzone again. will also force people to communicate in team based multiplayer games like overwatch

that being said keeping the light on despite being an almost universally hated feature of the DS4 is hilarious

This looks like an upgrade all things considered, even if it looks a bit generic now.

But what about the Gyro-sensor?

I wonder if the touchpad will finally get some interesting use or if it's mostly there to ensure backwards compatibility.

It seems so random that Sony drops this piece of information in a Tuesday...Without any fanfare or hype....just a random tweet.

Canada
the only reason why it looks odd is this white on white color scheme. it blends in with the background and it looks weird as hell.

At first I was like ew but after a minute of looking at it I think I love it.

Thought the ps4 trigger attachment meant they were going to included them in the ps5 controller. Not really fussed they didn't though.

color scheme looks ugly as hell but it actually looks comfortable to hold which is great

neat that they've added in HD rumble and the adaptive triggers

except for the left stick placement it should be a great controller

Overall shape reminds me of the Xbox controller but the buttons look small and oddly positioned. Like the color scheme tho

Edit:

Also those ridges look like they will absolutely fill with gunk and cheetoh dust.
