Overnight, Sony officially gave the world a first look at the PS5 controller. The new controller not only flaunts an updated design, Sony is also moving on from the DualShock sub-brand and onto DualSense. The design of the controller has been a bit polarising, but the default colours in particular have been the biggest point of contention. Unlike other PlayStation controllers, the PS5’s pad sports two colours by default. The face is mostly white, with only the analogue sticks section in black. It looks like someone slapped a white skin on a black controller. Naturally, many have taken matters into their hands in an effort to try and imagine the same controller with single solid colours. An all-black design, similar to the DualShock 4’s, was the first to emerge. Here’s @ATLFunkyP’s design: To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
