Sony DualSense Red Wireless Controller for PlayStation 5

The Sony DualSense wireless controller for PlayStation 5 uses haptic feedback and adaptive triggers to provide tactile responses during gameplay. Instead of standard vibration motors, this technology varies the intensity of feedback to simulate environmental textures or mechanical recoil. The adaptive triggers vary resistance to mimic actions such as pulling a bowstring or pressing a brake pedal. The controller features a standard layout with analogue thumbsticks and a directional pad, while the built-in touchpad provides an additional input method for navigation or touch-based mechanics.

The controller can be used wirelessly or connected via USB for data and charging. It features a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery for untethered play. Motion sensors detect tilt and rotation, and the unit includes an integrated microphone for voice chat, along with a jack for external headsets. The controller weighs 280 g and features shoulder buttons, as well as Home, Options, and Share controls. Multi-coloured LED backlighting indicates status and player numbers during local multiplayer sessions.
