Didn't realize it at first, but yeah no 3.5mm jack is going to be a problem for me. At least 90% of my PlayStation 4 time has been with my wired headphones plugged into the controller jack. Sure there is wireless headsets but they're typically a) proprietary and b) only last a few hours.

Fwiw, I've actually been using this headset for years with no issues, and it's like, $30.. It's stated to not be compatible, but it worked with my Base PS4 and Pro perfectly. Surprisingly comfy and good sound for the price too. It IS wired, but the cord's pretty long, so ymmv on how useful it is or not for you.

Looks amazing, I was expecting just a bulkier DS4 instead this looks elegant and futuristic.
The idea that the console design might be consistent with this makes me really happy, white is so elegant. Just look at how premium a the launch PS4 looked in white:

Looking forward to the new functionalities as the Create button, things like creating your own videos were basically already there on PS4 with Share factory so there must be something significantly new.
Better battery is also a nice plus.

Where is this from? Black looks sexy AF

Someone 'shopped it on Twitter, I believe.

 

[bhunachicken]

It looks like a panda. And everyone likes pandas.

Could you imagine if it was the love child of a midnight blue and traditional all-purpose black, though? That would've been ... wow.

Twitter. People are picking the picture and editing the color. I guess Dualsense will be more ambitious than Dualshock 4 on color departament.

 

[Endless Fluff]

Not a fan of this dual color scheme. I mean I like the back/front color design you can get with the Dual Shock 4 or Xbox One Gamepads, but this here just looks ugly... even worse than my Splatoon Pro Gamepad. Maybe it's because it's black and white with clear buttons, but I really don't like this. Need to wait for other colors to make a final judgement on that.

The shape/overall design however is nice, looks a lot closer to the Xbox One Gamepad.

I also am looking forward to the "force feedback" in the triggers. It wouldn't surprise me if it turns out to be a crappy gimmick that 3rd parties don't really use, just like anything Nintendo does.

 

[iorek21]

I love it so much

Does this mean that the PS5 will have the same colors?

Hey man, you have your profile on private... Is there any way to chat with you in private about something?

 

[cryptoadam]

There are two mini light bars. One on each side of the touchpad. Thats the only lights they mentioned in the blog post

Sony gotta keep forcing that light bar on us.

I am guessing at this point Sony has a giant investment in the company that makes the tech for the light bars LOL.

 

[Woo-Fu]

It looks like a pasty white girl in a black top with blue spaghetti straps. Unsee it once you've seen it.

Are you feeling OK or you just quoted the wrong person?

 

[Alphagear]

Is the colour of a launch controller and console so important that it's the difference between buying it or not.

Seriously?

90% .. yes

 

[GymWolf]

Could be a good match.

so this is what the ghana dancers from the meme did before working on the funeral industry.

I love white, but usually get the darker colours since White controllers tend to turn yellow over time. :/

Hey at least it being on that side means people can't complain about it being on the TV. It may be used in VR I dunno

 

[Psykodad]

That's when PS5 hits the lowest clockspeed.

 

[jackets with pockets]

I wonder if DualSense contains hints on the look of the console itself...

 

[Lionel Richie]

I absolutely love the design, but I need to read more about the buttons. They look the bad kind of weird, it looks a bit curvy there and they look a bit small. Maybe it's the angle.

 

[CJY]

Feature-wise, it seems it's only about got haptics and none of the the other stuff like sweat sensors and pulse sensing... shame.

 

[Aidah]

Looks great. With an actual attempt at an upgraded experience and an aesthetic change, it adds a lot to the whole new generation feeling. I'm actually kind of excited to try it.

 

[Deleted member 775630]

I don't understand the shape of the dual color scheme, makes it look like a boomerang. Really it's like a 90's TV show designed future controllers

 

[Rick Dangerous]

Well definitely a star war vibe...to chose SF as a theme, would have preferred an Alien inspiration. Imagine a HG Giber controller !

 

[Azelover]

probably 74.95.

Thank you. That's very affordable, considering all that it offers. Hopefully you're right.

 

[Hostile_18]

The PS3 banana phone controller was the original design of the DS3 which Sony walked back on because of fan outcry.

 

[Birdo]

I just learned that it has no headphone jack..........

I went from 50/50 to Fuck you, Sony.

 

[GymWolf]

Looks awful, like something out of a cheap Sci-fi, but Sony STILL sticks with a design that is going to place strain on the charging ports while it's laid flat and plugged in.

the usb type c is far more resistant than that filmsy shitty micro usb port on ds4, at least i hope.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Looks comfortable. Some of the curves remind me a bit of the X1S controller.

 

[FranXico]

Those are of limited use and would have driven the price even higher. I'm already expecting these controllers to be more expensive.

That's what I was thinking of.

 

[Hosam6xavi]

 

[Adam_802]

looks terrible lol

 

[vpance]

White as standard, hmm. Hope that doesn’t mean I’ll have to clean it every week.

 

[iHaunter]

What I was hoping for. Reminds me a little bit of the original PS3 concept boomerang controller - Mixed with DS4 Pro.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Look at those face buttons. They look tall and round, like they're begging you to press them. The DualSense from that angle look like it's rocking some keypads from nokia phones.

Ok, but what does this have to do with my post?

[Shin]

I don't understand the shape of the dual color scheme, makes it look like a boomerang.

It's looking closer and closer to Xbox's controller, at least where you grip it and less distinctive of DS.
But that's when looking at it from the front, not sure what it is that throws it off so much for me (other angles/images it looks nice).

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Wait, What the fuck is this?

Is this the OFFICIAL new Dualshock controller for PS5?

I'm so confused.

 

[Ellery]

Amazing. I want it now. Extremely excited about haptic feedback.

Wonder when we will be able to preorder

 

[MxAxBxM]

Looks like the white crab things from the PotC 3 movie

 

[Hostile_18]

Look nice but possibly high travel distance, relatively speaking.

 

[Bartski]

OMG SO PRETTY

 

[Captain Hero]

 

[StreetsofBeige]

The black mock ups people did (with or without coloured buttons and logo) look much better. I'm sure a a black gamepad will released.

But I didn't know Sony was making PS5 controllers for this.

 

[Tripolygon]

Best i could do.

 

[CJY]

Yeah, I'm still interested in the haptics. The adaptive triggers are new too, I think Xbox has those I think as well.

It's a first to have the haptics, but Switch's HD rumble is similar to haptics too, and it's not great.

I'm kinda surprised there isn't more to talk about. It's a controller. Looks awesome.

You have a link to the info on this or a picture?

 

[Salmonboy]

Still the same (and totally WRONG) placement of the two analogue sticks! *facapalm*
