Great news forPS5gamers who have recently bought, or intend to buy, one of thenew Nova Pink, Galactic Purple and Starlight Bluecontrollers. These joypads have been secretly changed and sport a couple of different parts – and it looks like these changes have made for a better controller.
Whether or not each gamer will be able to notice the spring thickness change is unknown, but theoretically the thicker springs should help with trigger durability and consistency.
In addition to the spring thickness change, the teardown also revealed that the new controllers had a slightly different analog stick module construction, with a black piece of plastic swapped for a near-identical green one. Again, what this change does is not yet known, but it has been speculated that itcouldbe to help mitigate stick drift. If this is true then it makes these new generation DualSense controllers a smart choice for playingPS5 games.
Finally, it is also revealed that these new controllers have slightly different internal layouts in terms of its main board and chips.
Indeed, Sony has done such a good job designing the DualSense that, really, apart from a few top-tier aftermarket brands such as Nacon and Scuf, it’s hard recommending third-party controllers for the PS5, as they don’t offer the same sort of performance. Only top-tier controllers like the Scuf Reflex Pro arguably offer a better package, but those controllers retail for two or even three times the price.
