PS5 DualSense controller design, features, haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and more explained

The PS5 or, to use its full title, the PlayStation 5 will arrive around Christmas 2020 and with it will come a new PS5 controller.

Breaking with tradition, the PS5 controller is called DualSense and compared to previous Playstation controllers, it has a rather unique look.

Create button, adaptive triggers, and other confirmed PS5 DualSense controller design features explained

We first learned about the features of the upcoming PS5 controller in an interview Mark Cerny gave with Wired and then got our first look at the DualSense in a PlayStation blog post announcing the new controller.

Thanks to that blog post and Cerny’s interview, we know that the controller will have the following features:

  • A completely redesigned design for a PlayStation controller, including two colors: black and white. It definitely doesn’t look like something left over from a low-budget sci-fi movie.

  • The adaptive triggers on the L2 and R2 buttons will offer levels of resistance while gaming. Examples of this in action include the tension when pulling on the bowstring before shooting an arrow and being able to differentiate between the feel of a machine gun and a shotgun. In Arkane’s Deathloop, it will lock the trigger when your weapon jams.

  • The angle of the triggers has been changed, along with minor improvements to the grip.
  • Improved haptic feedback, i.e. improved noise, will offer “surprising effects” according to Wired, allowing you to feel the effects of different surfaces, whether it’s resistance or simply a “bouncing sensation.”

  • The “Create” button replaces the “Share” button. The Create button will pioneer “new ways for players to create epic gaming content to share with the world or simply enjoy themselves.”


  • A built-in microphone array, although you can still use headphones if you prefer. There is also a mute button for the built-in microphone on the DualSense controller.
  • It will have a USB Type-C port, which is used on modern smartphones (Android), Nintendo Switch, and the Xbox Series X controller. The inclusion of this port was previously confirmed during Mike Cerny’s interview with Wired.
  • It’s heavier than the DualShock 4, thanks to the inclusion of haptics and a higher capacity battery, which doesn’t necessarily mean longer battery life; it could be there to support the new more intensive features. However, thanks to Wired, we know that according to product manager Toshi Aoki, it should be lighter than the current “battery-powered” Xbox controller.
  • A larger form factor than the DualShock 4, as shown here in this tweet from Geoff Keighley:
  • A textured grip on the bottom of the DualSense is also part of this new controller design.
  • The PS button is now shaped like the PlayStation logo, instead of just being a round logo button.
  • It retains a rechargeable battery, an internal speaker, a touch panel and a light bar; The light bar is now located on either side of the touchpad.

PS5 Haptic Feedback and DualSense Controller Explained

Haptic feedback occurs when a game uses touch to convey an event or activity to the player.

This is usually achieved through the controller’s vibration settings, such as making the controller shake when an object explodes, so when we talk about haptic feedback, we often talk about how developers improve the settings of the controller. controller vibration, much like HD vibration for Nintendo Switch. .


When creating the DualSense controller, Sony developers focused on improving haptic feedback because, as Sony explains in the blog post announcing the DualSense, “We had a great opportunity with PS5 to innovate by offering game creators the ability to explore how they can improve that response.” Feeling of immersion through our new controller.”

In Mark Cerny’s interview with Wired, we learned that the enhanced haptic feedback was achieved through the use of “highly programmable voice coil actuators located on the left and right handles of the controller.”

Gran Turismo Sport.

Wired also had the opportunity to play a version of Gran Turismo Sport on the PS5 development kit, allowing them to experience the improved haptic feedback, which they described as “Driving on the boundary between track and dirt, I could feel both surfaces.” “

This sensation, Wired explains, “completely disappeared” when they played the same track using the DualShock 4, emphasizing exactly how much haptic feedback has been improved on the DualSense.

Improved haptic feedback would let you really enjoy crashing toilet into toilet in Control.

The improved haptic feedback that the DualSense provides to the player will work if other important features of the new controller, such as the speaker and adaptive triggers, increase the player’s immersion.

With the PlayStation 5 on the way, we’ve written guides on everything we currently know about the PS5 specs, the differences between the PS5 Digital Edition and the regular PS5, PS5 SSD storage, PS5 console design , PS5 downloads, PS5 backwards compatibility, PS5. controller, the PS Plus collection and the upcoming PS5 games you can play. You can also check the latest PS5 stock information. Until then, current PS4 owners can check out this month’s PlayStation Plus games.

Other things we do (and don’t know) about the PS5 DualSense controller

Although we now have a clearer idea about what to expect from the DualSense, here are some other facts you should know:

  • Since DualShock 4 is not compatible with PS5 games, you will need to have multiple DualSense controllers to play local multiplayer.
  • On that note, we still don’t know how much a standalone DualSense controller will cost you. Presumably this information will be published alongside the official price of the PlayStation 5.
  • While we now know what the DualSense looks like, we don’t know if it will be available in a variety of colors. Using two colors allows the DualSense to have a wider variety of designs compared to previous PlayStation controllers, so it will be interesting to see if Sony takes advantage of this.

  • The exact battery life of the DualSense is also an important piece of information that is still a mystery to us. The DualShock 4 has a battery life of about four to eight hours, depending on how you use it. Considering the new features included in the DualSense, it will be interesting to see how the battery life compares to the DualShock 4.
  • We’re still waiting to find out what exactly the new ‘Create’ button is capable of. It looks like it will share many of the same features as the DualShock 4’s ‘Share’ button, allowing you to take screenshots, for example, but it will be interesting to see if and how these features have been expanded.
