DualSense wireless controller
DualSense completely changes the design of the controller.
The DualSense controller inherits many features from the previous generation such as the battery and the integrated speaker , or the motion sensor. As usual, the battery cannot be removed and the controller has a USB Type-C connector for full charging. It can be connected directly to the PlayStation 5 console to continue playing.
The DualSense re-integrates a speaker that is used to give a new dimension to games through sound effects as seen in games like Death Stranding or Ghost of Tsushima. Something similar happens with the motion sensor that provides an intuitive function in some compatible games such as Astro Bot, making use of the accelerometer and the built-in gyroscope. Of course, now the 'SHARE' button will be called the 'Create' button , but it will have the same function to share or transmit the games.
However, the most obvious novelty is the more ergonomic design of the control that is now more curved to offer greater comfort in its grip. But the most substantial changes are within it, since Sony has spoken on many occasions about haptic feedback , a function located on the back of the controller, whose objective is to convey more realistic sensations of what happens in the video game at every moment . This feature comes to replace traditional vibration motors.
Finally, we must highlight the adaptive triggers that can be activated in compatible games to experience different levels of tension when interacting with the environment. In other words, firing a weapon will not feel the same as drawing a bow. If the weapon also jams, the trigger locks at the same time , allowing players to feel more physically connected to the actions happening on screen.

DualSense charging station
The stand has two charging stations for DualSense controllers.
The new DualSense control can be charged in the usual way, connecting the device to the console using a USB Type-C cable, but Sony has put a compatible charging station on sale for 29.99 euros . It is a base where up to two DualSense controllers can be easily attached at the same time to charge them while they are not being used. This way you can free up the USB ports on the console and there is no need for it to be turned on while the controllers are charging.
PULSE 3D Wireless Headphones
The headphones take advantage of the PS5's 3D Tempest Audio technology to enhance the sound experience.
The 3D audio is also one of the virtues of PS5, so to enhance that feature have launched a 3D PULSE wireless headphones have a price of 99.9 euros release. This device has been specifically designed for 3D Tempest audio technology to offer a highly immersive listening experience . It connects easily with a wireless adapter that allows an autonomy of 12 hours of play, thanks to the integrated rechargeable battery. Also compatible with PS4 and Windows and macOS computers .
However, the headset can be connected via 3.5mm audio cable on the PlayStation VR device as well as on mobile devices, although the controls are not supported. We refer to a series of buttons to mute the microphone or modify the volume of the sound of both the game and the conversation. Additionally, the headphones include two strategically placed built-in microphones for crystal clear voice capture with noise cancellation technology .
Remote control Media
Remote control compatible with PS5 with multimedia playback controls.
Again, the white color predominates in this device, where the Disney +, Netflix, Spotify and YouTube buttons stand out to access these streaming platforms. The PS5 remote control will allow you to navigate through multimedia content quickly with the classic play / pause or forward / back buttons.
And at the same time, it can be used to move around the PS5 interface as you would with the DualSense controller. Compatible with televisions with the built-in IR transmitter, so only one remote is needed to control everything.
HD camera
PS5 will have background removal tools to improve broadcasts.
Lastly, PlayStation 5 has its own compatible camera that allows you to capture a sharp and defined image in Full HD (1080p) with the dual wide angle lenses. The built-in stand design allows the HD camera to fit perfectly to the TV screen and the PS5 includes background removal tools to enhance your game broadcasts.
However, this peripheral is not compatible with PlayStation VR headsets . This means that you need PlayStation Camera for PS4 with its adapter to be able to enjoy virtual reality on PS5. And therefore, if you already have the PS4 camera, you don't need to buy the new one.
