2024 - Sony is working on a DualSense Pro for the Playstation 5

According to Tom Henderson, a renowned leaker who needs no introduction, Sony is currently working on a Pro version of the DualSense, the PS5 controller. The idea would be to offer an experience similar to that offered by the Xbox Elite 2, a controller designed for performance and offering extensive customization.

On Xbox, the most demanding gamers can invest in an Xbox Elite Series 2, a “Pro” controller displayed at €179.99. For this price, you have access to a particularly extensive customization, with analog sticks with adjustable tension and new interchangeable shapes of analog sticks and palette. Finally, you’ll be able to perform thanks to the shorter trigger wicks and the wraparound rubberized grip.

On Playstation 5, you have to deal with the DualSense. Sony’s latest controller remains an excellent product, which shines in particular for its unique capabilities such as adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. However, if you don’t like the DualSense for some reason, Sony doesn’t offer a “Pro” alternative like Microsoft does. Be careful though, you can turn to SCUF which offers its own custom DualSense.

Sony wants to launch its DualSense Pro on PS5

However, and according to renowned leaker Tom Henderson, things will soon change on the Sony side. According to internal sources, Sony is currently working on a Pro variant of the DualSense for the Playstation 5. Responding to the code name “Hunt”, this controller would be equipped with removable joysticks, interchangeable handles and paddle triggers at the back.

Tom Henderson specifies that this same source sent him photos of the prototypes of this mystery controller. Only, it was agreed that he should not publish them. But according to him, the controller would take over the design of the DualSense, with some differences, however.

The biggest change is materialized by the presence of two additional buttons under the two analog sticks. What are they for ? They allow the sticks to be completely removed. In other words, users will be able to change sticks at will in the event of a problem such as Drift or a lack of grip, rather than having to buy a new controller.

The prototype also includes rubber grips to provide a better grip on the controller. Again, these components will be removable. According to Tom Henderson’s source, this “PS5 Pro Controller” could be formalized by Sony very soon. Indeed, many insiders claim that Sony intends to reveal several new Playstation devices and accessories by the end at least.
