Sony Interactive Entertainment has filed a new patent in Japan for the PlayStation 5 DualShock 5 controller.
The images from the patent show a controller that is similar to the current PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 controller with minor tweaks. The basic layout for the DualShock controller hasn't changed much since the original.
Some of the changes include larger triggers, smaller thumbsticks, removal of the light bar, a change to the design of the touchpad, and an added microphone. It will also use USB-C instead of Micro USB for charging.

from the design it looks like the garbage ps4 controller
How can it be PSVR compatible without the light bar? I guess it won't be.
Could the touchpad also be a touchscreen? I think I saw some rumored pictures with a touchscreen...
This is alittle disapointing. Basically the same controller again.. but i guess for PS, this is the norm. Be nice to see biggee overhauls on controllers like how Nintendo and Xbox do them.
You mean... Pretty much like the 360 and One controllers, right?
But I guess the pass doesn’t apply when it’s Sony...
Is the 360 and X1 controller the same? Might need to have alook again. You know what is the same, the DS1 DS2 and DS3 controllers. Seems the same trend is happening again with DS4 and DS5. But lets wait and see what Xbox release and if the DS5 is true.
The DS4 is a much larger overhaul to the DS3 than the XBO is to the 360 controller. Of course, we both know you already know that.
Only Nintendo. Xbox One controller had very little change compared to X360.
