After comparing the pictures with my Controllers I can say that the PS5 one is bulkier on the sides and seems to be a little bit bigger overall.

The Xbox One was far and above the best controller of this gen, and I say that as someone who mostly plays on PS4. A more natural grip, offset analog sticks (with a nice no-slip texture to them as well), a clicky d-pad, good bumpers, and big triggers that are comfortable to rest your hands on.

I'm seriously tired of Sony's obsession with symmetrical sticks. That shit ain't comfortable.
Depends on your hands, I find asymmetrical sticks incredible frustrating because my thumb isn't that high up on the controller.

I think the white with black accents looks weird, BUT, I saw an all black mock up that looked fantastic. I think its the the white that's throwing people off.

Can't wait to see some translucency on this thing

I bet the PS5 Pro will flip the main console/controller color like how Xbox did with the 360 Pro/Elite

It looks great. I was not expecting this big of a change and those Sticks looks more grippy though which is great!!
P.S. the dual tone is good bit still I would like all black one

Looks great. My only wish is that they would maintain the four colors on the face button shapes. Otherwise, looks solid. A bit more like the xbox controller which is fine by me. It only matters how it feels and works, not how it looks.

Really thought was a random off brand controller. Well, at least they got rid of the light bar... Mostly...

Looks like an improvement in terms of shape and I like the two-tone color scheme. Bodes well for the console design, no way its just a black box.

The triggers still look like trash tho.

I really like it! Looks very different from not only what PlayStation has done before but controllers in general.

You do realize millions of other people (many millions) will just as vehemently disagree with you? I cannot play anything on Xbox pads besides shooters and racers. I hate the stick layout, the oval buttons and think it's one of the worse d-pads. It's very very personal and completely unique to each individual what controller you like. There is hardly any denying that DS4 layout is pretty much standard though.

I heard this entire post in his voice:

I am flattered to be compared to Peter O Toole. Thanks!

Really looking forward to seeing what different colours they come up with over time. Having that two tone look gives lots of options. Mix and match different colours or make both the same for a solid colour look.

I dig it. It looks more expensive than the DS4.

The L1/R1 buttons got HUGE which I actually prefer.

Its the two tone colour scheme that's putting people off it seems, although I'm glad to hear they're looking at making the battery life strong.

I wonder if this means PS5 will be white?

Now we're talking! Some news. Interesting look. The adaptive triggers sound like Xbox One's haptic triggers so if it gets more 3rd parties to build that in their games, that would be cool.
