Sony PlayStation PS5 Dual Sense Controller First Look
12Two-Tone Color Design And Light Bar Placement
The most noticeable difference between the DualSense and previous DualShock controllers is its striking two-tone design. The light bar placement has also changed--instead of being located at the top of the controller, it will now sit on both sides of the touch pad. This, according to Sony, will grant it "a slightly larger look and feel."
New Form Factor
The new DualSense controller seems to have a slightly thicker form factor than the DualShock 4. While we don't have the exact measurements and haven't held one in our hands yet, the shape is definitely a divergence from previous PlayStation controllers. According to Sony, the angle of the hand triggers and the grip have been updated to make room for some of its new features, like the introduction of adaptive triggers.
Haptic Feedback And Adaptive Triggers
One of the earliest things we knew about the new PS5 controller is that it would make use of haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. That's still true, as Sony had previously announced. In their blog post, Sony detailed the "variety of powerful sensations" haptic feedback can bring to gameplay, like "the slow grittiness of driving a car through mud." Haptic feedback is the same technology behind the Nintendo Switch's HD rumble and we know the Xbox Series X controller will make use of it as well.
Adaptive triggers on the L2 and R2 buttons will introduce different levels of "resistance" with trigger presses, which can work in tandem with the DualSense's haptic feedback to make gameplay interactions more immersive. According to Sony, adaptive triggers make it so "you can truly feel the tension of your actions, like when drawing a bow to shoot an arrow."
Rechargeable Battery
The DualSense uses a rechargeable battery, just as previous DualShock controllers did. This maybe isn't the most exciting news, until you learn about the next new feature, which is...
USB-C Port
That's right--the DualSense controller will boast a USB-C port for its power cable. Good news for you, bad news for your dusty old micro USB cords.
Built-In Mic
The DualSense will include a built-in mic to chat with friends without requiring a headset--though Sony still recommends using one for longer chat sessions.
Create Button
The Share button has been replaced with a new Create button, though Sony declined to share more details on how the new button is differentiated from the Share functionality. It simply says, "we're once again pioneering new ways for players to create epic gameplay content to share with the world, or just to enjoy for themselves." More detail on that is said to be coming closer to launch.
