PlayStation 5 players floored by DualSense controller secret they never noticed

I’m very attached to my PlayStation 5, and there are plenty of reasons for that.

I enjoy the console’s line-up of exclusives and, of course, there’s a huge amount of nostalgia at play too given that this is the brand to which my earliest gaming memories are tied.

For me though, thePlayStation 5’s crown jewel is its DualSense controller.

When a new console lands, we inevitably hope for its accompanying controller to have solid durability, both in terms of battery life and general wear.

More recently though, through sound and sensation, controllers have become known for the newfound sense of immersion they bring to gaming, with Sony’s DualSense easily leading the pack.

Of course,Astro Botis so much more than vibrations and sound effects, but it’s an integral aspect of the whimsical immersion of its world.

But I digress because while I could wax lyrical about the DualSense all day long, there’s actually one specific feature on the controller that I’d like to highlight to you today.

Take a look at the aforementionedAstro Botin action below.

The DualSense isn’t as roughly textured to grip as theXboxSeries X/S’s controller, but it is still textured - and it’s that texture that’s hiding an Easter egg.

If you squint hard enough or take a zoomed in photo of your DualSense controller, you’ll notice that the parts you hold are actually covered in square, circle, cross, and triangle symbols.

It’s a nifty little feature that doesn’t exactly change the function of the DualSense, but is a testament to Sony’s level of attention to detail.

“WTF, I thought it was a prank,”addedanother, verifying the feature on their own controller.
