The PlayStation 5 controller is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also is packed full of features that blow it into the next generation of immersive gameplay.

The DualSense is not only the best controller Sony has ever put its name to, but that rare gaming input device that manages to feel genuinely innovative. Better still, you’ll get the DualSense controller with every PlayStation 5 console as standard.

A pleasingly sturdier beast than its predecessor, the DualSense outshines the PS4’s DualShock 4 in every conceivable way, finally giving PlayStation owners a controller that rivals Xbox’s offerings. It would, of course, be remiss to talk about the PS5 controller without mentioning its killer app – the haptic feedback.

Created by the company behind Nintendo’s Joycon HD Rumble, DualSense’s haptic feedback utilizes incredibly precise vibrations to help simulate on-screen happenings by sending intricate reverberations jolting across your hands. From the trickle of water droplets gently pitter-pattering across your palms to the new adaptive triggers’ tangible resistance as you pull back a bowstring, the aptly named DualSense enhances immersion in a pleasingly tactile way.

That said, it’s no longer Sony’s only official PS5 controller option. The DualSense Edge was announced at Gamescom 2022’s Opening Night Live presentation and that launches in January 2023. Comparable to the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, the DualSense Edge provides some premium features you won’t find on the regular option, so its worth taking a look.

Either way, it’s hard to overstate the importance of Sony’s new immersive tech, really, and while the packed in Astro’s Playroom software goes some way to demonstrating its potential, we have no doubt that PS5’s launch games only scratch the surface of what haptic feedback will bring to the table.

In an age where most controllers offer iteration rather than innovation, Sony’s DualSense is the rarest of input devices – one that feels genuinely exciting.
