PlayStation 4 Controller: More Details Of DualShock 4 Leaked

The PlayStation 4 (PS4) is one of the most-anticipated gaming consoles of this year and millions of gamers are eager to know as much as they can about the upcoming device. Now, more details about the PS4 DualShock 4 controller have emerged.

In February this year, Sony revealed its plan to release the PS4 and also released a video promoting the special DualShock 4 controller that will be released alongside the next-generation console. Now Game Informer (via NeoGAF) has revealed some features of the DualShock 4 controller.

Game Informer suggests that the deadzone on the analog sticks has been greatly reduced and both sticks feature stiffer resistance. Thumbs bumping into each other's sticks is no longer an issue, as the analog sticks are spaced farther apart. The analog sticks have a ridged concave top that prevents your thumbs from slipping off.

Game Informer says that the controller is "Stuck with symmetrical design because the assymetrical design would cause more dificulties to interact with the touchpad without unintentionally bumping into the left stick."

The touchpad supports multi-touch and completely replaces the select/start buttons from the DualShock 3. A ridge at the end of the triggers grasps at your fingers instead of letting them slide off.

There is also a small speaker below the touchpad. The Light-bar works in conjunction with the PS4 eye to track your position and adjusts the split screen accordingly.

"Got input from Bungie (and a bunch of first party studios) for designing the DS4, Bungie really wanted to make it a controller that worked great for fps games. Writer of the article says the controller is a big reason for gamers to be excited for the console," notes Game Informer.

Overall, the DualShock 4 controller will be more comfortable and sturdy. Some components of the controller are still being refined, such as the overall weight.
