PlayStation Finally Reveals Just How Big the PS5 Controller Is

4
We finally know how big the PS5 DualSense controller is. While PlayStation hasn't disclosed precise measurements, it has revealed, via The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley, the controller alongside the PS4 DualShock 4, giving PlayStation fans an indication of the controller's size. And it's big, at least compared to the DualShock 4, which is not only shorter, but considerably slimmer.

If you have an Xbox One controller, you'll know it matches up, in terms of size, very similarly to the DualShock 4. In other words, it looks like the PS5 DualSense has a similar size, thickness, and presumably weight as the Xbox One controller. And this is good news.

The PS4 controller is pretty great, but it's a bit small and light. For people with normal-sized hands, this isn't too big of a deal, but for people with larger hands, the PS4 controller can be a bit uncomfortable to use. It looks like the DualSense will remedy this issue.



While we have a pretty good sense of the controller's size and thickness, it's still unclear just how hefty it is. It's apparently a bit heavier than the PS4 controller, which hopefully means it will also feel a bit sturdier. The PS4 controller feels a bit flimsy sometimes, like it's always one hardcore Rocket League session away from breaking.

I think it looks a lot worse then the PS4 one imo. Hopefully this one doesn't get stick drift so easily like the PS3/PS4 ones that would be a big improvement.

Better size overall. Looks shit compared to PS4 controller though...

MushroomElm Playsation fanboi's can't call Xbox controller too big anymore.

I like the design, though, and as someone with big hands the bigger controller will be nice too.


Xbox One controller is a nice size, PS4 controller is way too small.

ill Probably cop one for rocket league. Love the layout but hated how small they used to be.

The PS3 & PS4 controllers are way too small, That's why i like Xbox controllers cos they are a good size and you can play the game properly. Glad PlayStation have taken this into account and made it the same size and weight to the Xbox controller, They will never look back now, I could hardly play the PS3 cos the controller was too small, i felt like i was crushing it in my hands as my hands are quite big tbh.
