The group has fundamentally changed the design – such as the color scheme. Instead of a single-color look, the DualSense controller uses an interesting black and white mixture – there may be other combinations later. What is certain, is that the controller shakes more.
Sony installed a new vibration unit. Anyone who is fouled in the future in the soccer simulation “FIFA”, for example, should feel this much more violently on the gamepad. The technical change should also make it easier to convey details of the virtual world haptically – for example, it should make a difference if you roll a car over asphalt, scree or grass in a racing game.
The shoulder buttons should also provide more depth of play: the “Adaptive Triggers” – or their haptic resistance and feedback – adapt developers to any game situation when programming games. This is how weapons should feel differently. So in the future it may make a noticeable difference whether you shoot with a bow or a submachine gun. There is also a change in the Lightbar: The light bar is no longer in the front, but can be found to the right and left of the touchbar – the touch-sensitive field is in the middle of the controller, i.e. in the same position as on the Dualshock 4. There are also Microphones in the housing, which you can use to chat with friends while playing, for example – a headset will no longer be necessary in the future. The share button for sharing content has been renamed – it is now called the Create button and should offer numerous new community features. However, details are left open.
