PS5's Controller Likely Isn't Changing Much, And That's OK

The unconfirmed DualShock 5 could be similar to the PS4's DualShock 4, and that's not such a bad thing.

CP_Company2371d ago

Ds4 is best in the market. Why would they change it drastically? They just improving what was lacking.

The main concern of the DS4 is the horrendous battery life, it's just ridiculous at times. The X1 controller is still the best by far, it's much more comfortable to hold.

Brave_Losers_Unite2371d ago (Edited 2371d ago )

Much more comfortable? Lol. Was the DS4 loaded with nails? I doubt was you are saying is genuine

KickSpinFilter2371d ago (Edited 2371d ago )

But almost everyone has two DS4 controllers so not an issue, an even then I can get plenty of charge out of one, at least three gaming sessions before I need a charge.
I think the X1 controller is an awkward fit for the trigger buttons, always felt in the wrong place in my hands.
DS3 was a horrible hold and thumbs would touch each other in FPS games mostly.
PS4 is great.

I prefer the elite. Ds4 is my next fav

I want bigger shoulder buttons and analog sticks.. Dimmable light and longer lasting battery and Bluetooth headset implementation (NFC chip)

purple1012371d ago

The light is dimmable just to let you know you're going to settings and you can do it has about 5 levels of brightness, set my one to lowest to conserve battery life

bouzebbal2371d ago

Yes I meant switch it off..

Mefdar2371d ago

It doesn't conserve anything cause it's still on.

CDbiggen2371d ago

Yeah, quick pairing through the controller is a great idea. I hope they keep the jack though.

Mr_Writer852371d ago

You can turn rumble off and that saves a little on the battery.

CDbiggen2371d ago

The PS4 controller is prehaps my favourite controller of all time, and I've used a lot. Not much change is great to hear.

RpgSama2371d ago

Ditto, the only thing I would greatly appreciate it's a much longer lasting battery and it would be perfection.

KickSpinFilter2371d ago

Hum Dreamcast controller is still my fav, then DS4

WickedLester2370d ago

Dreamcast controller was awful. Only one analogue stick after dual analog design had already been established (playing Virtual On was a nightmare).

KickSpinFilter2370d ago

@WickedZLester
I will give 100% agreement with Virtual On. I was an ace in the Arcade and no one could beat me. Was soooo excited when that came to Dreamcast, but at that point the controller failed big time almost went out and bought the twin sticks for VO but better judgement ruled supreme! But up to that point and games after VO the Dreamcast controller was excellent.
And on that note...SEGA!!! Where the hell is a new Virtual On, Virtua Fighter, Burning Rangers!

zsquaresoff2371d ago

It would be great if they had a wireless charging as well. Just keep the Ds5 on top of the PS5 and it will automatically start charging. That would be awesome.

ocelot072371d ago

Love the ds4. Only think I ask is maybe make it a little heavier and better joy sticks.

I never buy 3rd party controllers. They’re usually crappy or too expensive for what they offer

DarXyde865d ago

I feel like the age of crappy third party controllers ended. I might be wrong, but I only ever hear of the high end third party controllers now.

Either way, I feel like people should be able to buy and use these devices, even if they're bad quality.

Sure, it's Sony's box, but no company should do this unless it's some shady device-bricking controller.

Majors865d ago

Wait So Micro$oft gets away with it by disabling 3rd party controllers Whilst Sony gets a fine for only affecting them >?
