We hope these new additions will bring further joy and excitement to our fans’ gaming experience.” – Satoshi Aoyagi The controller’s button colors and detailing has been tailored to complement the new colors as well. A blue hue is also present in the original DualSense wireless controller colors, so all three colors complement each other nicely. “Both Midnight Black and Cosmic Red feature a subtle blue hue, that produces unique shades of red and black. We wanted the new controller colors to complement each other, as well as the original DualSense wireless controller and PS5 console, so we designed the colors around the theme of ‘galaxy’ as it felt like a natural progression from the original PS5 and accessories designs.” – Leo Cardoso “Our goal is to always find designs that will surprise and entice our fans, and these new colors are the result of an extensive selection process.
As this marks the first release of new colors for the DualSense controller, we asked Leo Cardoso and Satoshi Aoyagi from our design team to share some additional insights about the color choice and selection process: The features weren’t the only noticeable transformation – the bold, two-toned color choice was also a significant pivot from our previous controllers. The DualSense controller marked a radical departure from our previous controllers by delivering innovative features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers*.
