This new controller is very blue, with everything from the joysticks, buttons, triggers, and grips all featuring bold and vibrant shades of blue. The touchpad even features glossy blue icons representing the PlayStation symbols.
In the recent PlayStation blog post, Leo Cardoso from the Color, Material and Finish design team said the new DualSense is "inspired by PlayStation’s iconic shades of blue, this design captures the feeling of anticipation and wonder every time you pick up the controller. As a nod to our origins, we added Katakana characters on the back that spell our name the Japanese way: Pureisutēshon."
Sony is no stranger to releasing unique colors of its DualSense controller, but since this is labeled as a "Special Edition," it's not likely to stick around for long. I rarely purchase special edition controllers, but this one has me very tempted.
