People Already Hate The Playstation 5 Dualsense Triggers

PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller was revealed just a few days ago, and gamers are already up in arms about one of its features.

The next generation of the great console war is set to commence at the end of this year. In a number of ways, it has actually already begun. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will both be released this holiday season, but Sony and Microsoft are already drip-feeding information about their projects in an attempt to win as many gamers over as possible.

When it comes to deciding which console they’ll go for, most gamers will weigh up all sorts of different elements. One of those elements might well be the controller. PlayStation got its controller design down pat pretty early on. It tweaks its design slightly with each generation but makes sure its core remains the same. That tradition will carry on with the PS5 via the DualSense.

PlayStation revealed its new DualSense controller this week. Although it appears to have been altered more than any other PS controller before it, the DualSense is still instantly recognizable as a PlayStation controller. There have been complaints and memes made about it, of course, but one element of the DualSense appears to be bothering its potential users more than any other.

Its triggers. The photo of the DualSense above shows that its triggers are in the exact same spot with the exact same design as the PS4’s DualShock 4. Therein lies the problem. Almost everyone who owns a PS4 will know the pain of putting down the DualShock and the slight push of the trigger rewinding or fast-forwarding what you’re watching. Judging by its design, that flaw will carry over onto the DualSense and the PS5.

There is a way around this problem, at least on the PS4. Holding down the home button allows players the option to disable the controller activators. Not ideal, but better than losing your place in a movie if you forget to put down the controller as if it were some sort of live explosive. Plus, there’s no telling whether the DualSense will include that fix.
