, in which you can see how both designs overlap through the interactive image you have just below these lines. Both controls arranged in the same position so you can see the most obvious differences in design. Seen like this, the jump between generations is much bigger than imagined in terms of pad. Now we will have to see what the jump will be in terms of games, because the comparison PS5 vs PS4 we have already done.

There are details that are still unknown, such as the existence of a jack or AUX port to connect the headphones as in the DualShock 4. It seems that it is unlikely, especially since the pad has a built-in microphone inside, which changes things a lot compared to the PS4 controller. Now, let's take a look at its full spec list so we can better compare to the DS4's.

Both controls enjoy similar characteristics in many ways, with major changes in design, ports and even colors. Below, we review the characteristics of both to better compare:

Features of the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller

• USB Type-C port
• Adaptive triggers with resistance and haptic feedback
• Built-in microphone
• Built-in speaker
• New button "Create"
• Touch panel
• Light bars on the sides of the touchpad
• Enhanced battery

Features of the PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 controller

• Micro USB port
• Adaptive triggers
• AUX port to connect headsets
• Built-in speaker
• Share button
• Touch panel
• LED light on the front
• 1000 mAh Li-ion battery

Remains to be seen how does the command feel once you have it in your hands, but it seems that Sony has opted a bit more for ergonomics although it still retains the traditional stick layout of its controls. Upgraded battery may be a good indication that they are going to fill that lack of DS4, and the "renaming" of the "Share" button by "Create" hints that they will give many more options to players who want to share their games on PS5.

Still to be seen how is ps5, but seeing how it is its command, we can already intuit that it will also bring important changes.
