How can you not fall in love with little details like this? Sony announced the DualSense controller some time ago, but it’s taken until today for the Internet to pay attention to one of its best details: the grip is made up of tiny PlayStation symbols. We first caught wind of this courtesy of a Tweet by Wushu Studios’ communications manager, Shinobi602. Since then, it’s gone a little bit viral, with many fans heaping praise on the delicate detail.
Check it out for yourself, courtesy of the zoomed picture below:
Amazingly, this detail doesn’t just apply to the DualSense controller, but also the PS5’s entire product family. The new PlayStation Camera has the same textured finish, for example, as does the Pulse 3D Wireless Headset and even the console itself. Alright, it’s not going to change anything about your next-gen experience, but it’s the little things that matter, right readers?

Its classy, it sure have taste.
I'm a sucker for intricate details, this is pretty cool. Completely unnecessary but cool.
I don't know, looks like the COVID-19 virus to me. 🤣
That's actually pretty cool. I'm not freaking out though.
The shapes of greatness!
It feels very premium & I'm starting to fear that I won’t actually be able to afford one at this rate.
I’m expecting £549 for the console + 1 controller. So at launch I’m going to need a second controller as well as pick up 2 launch games, that’ll be around £730😬.
I've always said that the symbols have been just as much of a mascot for PlayStation as any character or franchise. Also this is the same company that put the button symbols on the console's screws so are we really surprised.
Man that's beautiful
Haha, this is a cool detail.
I love this attention to detail. Its classy and premium looking.
You could really tell from the show that they love their symbols, as they should. Always thought they made so much more sense than ABXY.
This may be a silly question but I need to be sure, will the ps5 still work on current 1080p TV's? As I know the ps4 Pro hardly made a difference unless it was on a 4k TV so does that mean ps5 won't look impressive on a 1080p TV
@Jeaz I actually think AB/XY makes more sense — “Press Y” sounds more reasonable than “Press Triangle”. However, the Sony symbols are much cooler and are language-agnostic.
Those are the kind of details that I love, to bad the controller is white
The design nerd in me just melted. My favourite shapes will forever have 3, 1, 2, and 4 sides - triangle, circle, cross, and square. 😻
Amazing. Is it also on the console? On the white panel with Sony logo?
Edit
Yes I just realised it said so in the article already. Cool stuff
The Web Is Freaking Out Over a Tiny PS5 Controller Detail??? In a good way OR a bad way?
I sense a click bate conspiracy
@BNAG_Gamer
Yes I came here for ' the web is freaking out' like the other day 'fans are panicking' haha
The article is cool though
Okay, that's a cool little detail 😃
Click baited again, will i ever learn?
Yeah, this is a fantastic touch!
@Fight_Teza_Fight accounting for inflation, it's not as bad as the PS3 was at launch. Today the PS3 would cost $761.81, which would be £607.29. Not saying that you were griping, but so many people are these days, and they seem to forget the launch price of the PS3.
@playstation_king 1080p can only look so good. The things you would notice on PS4 pro and PS5 would be more detail, better draw distances, faster render times, and higher frame rates. It does make a difference, a big one, just not in the way you would think.
As a right reader, I agree
No one has noticed it before because it's not on Sony's Official photos from the webpage i.e. the ones seen by the press at announcement. Where have these photos come from?
@GMScribe Replying to my own post, weirdly I can see the detail on the Sony US blog reveal video, but not the one posted to youtube.
@crazykcarter Yh still need one too. Think that’ll be a Christmas present😁.
@ChipBoundary Well gaming is a luxury. I don’t have a problem with paying for quality. It’s just for the first time since a console launched my money isn’t just my money anymore😅.
@GMScribe I also am confused as to which photos are legit. It seems to me we'll not know for sure until Sony confirm or we buy one
Always love these little details Sony throws in.
That texture is also used on the PS5 itself, on the inside lip where the word SONY is located. Also on the Charge Station, and the HD Camera. You can see them in the video reveal. Not sure if anyone else noticed those yet.
Bet the PS5 slim won't have them. That's the one I'll be buying.
First, there is nothing clear to see in the picture.
Second, this is not a real controller, it’s just a rendered object.
@playstation_king not a silly question and one i would like clarified myself... No way i can afford both.
Good, I'm going to have Play Station logo dirt ingrained into my shinyv new PS5 kit after one month.
@playstation_king Current consoles have really pour CPUs even in the Pro and X, this mean game logic, AI, objects are all limited. They have also held back PC gaming on the whole. So even at 1080 the next gen will offer a real leap. More than PS3 to PS4 did as the it can change the fundamentals of game function. So yes, give it a bit of time but it will be about much more than resolution this round.
Thus far I remain just unimpressed by what I'm seeing with PS5 and XboxX. I don't think either console is bad, not at all. From everything I've read about them I expect them to look and run very well. I've no issues with the controllers either. And the price... not as high as I feared, but still looking real expensive.
But for the games themselves? Nothing is hooking me. Most games look like hard core realism without much creativity or style. Very same-y. Sackboy looks good and the more I look at Ratchet, the more... I grow to tolerate the new art style. I still don't like it but I can tolerate it now. It made me sick at first.
But the rest? Especially Spiderman, they sit right in the uncanny valley of trying to look real but still obviously not. And I just don't see why they have to aim for that with almost every game in this next gen war.
@playstation_king Why not go on YouTube on your TV and watch the PS5 game trailers?
People are idiots lol
@Fight_Teza_Fight It won't be more than $499. Sony isn't stupid enough to commit the same mistake they did with the PS3's original price point. Probably $449 for the -dickless- discless version and $499 for the complete version.
Absolutely love it ❤️👌
Love it! I look forward to licking one of these controllers.
Dual sense dual use for many girls due to texture , hope it have vibration as dualshock series
