Best aspects of the Midnight Black PS5 Controller

The Midnight Black DualSense Wireless Controller brings back the design of older PS controller models like the PS4 black controller, but with the upgraded technology of the new PS5.

Key Features

The new triggers of these controllers have new variable tension features along with haptic feedback. The triggers now mimic real-world sensations and scenarios. You’ll be able to feel the vibration from running your car into a building in GTA with varying degrees of vibration to simulate the real-world.

The new PS5 Black Wireless Controller is a larger model than the old PS4 controller. A heftier weight to the controller makes it easier for the gamer to control their in-game character, as well as giving it an all-around sleeker and nicer design.

The difference in color now gives players the option to customize their game system and controller better than ever before. Being able to pick and choose your controller color instead of purchasing skins that are difficult to place onto your white controller can make the wider gaming community happier. Depending on the amount of black controllers purchased, it may also tell Sony that gamers will want a black version of the console to purchase.
