Dualshock revolutionized controller layout. The real modern blueprint testament to that picture. Lineup contemporary consoles and it has the least changed layout for the controller.

Not on the inside. Give me 3 DS 3's or 4's and I bet they are all different inside.

Yea the battery size is increased by some 60%? if i recall correctly. Playtime was said to be good by some early reviewer but no specific time has been given. My guess is you are right, it would remain at around 10hrs taking all these techs and motors inside the controller into consideration.

I had two original launch PS4 DualShock4 controllers and the battery life of both was around 6-7 hours, which was fine for me. The battery life on the second gen DualShock4 controller, which I think released around the time of the PS4 Pro, was around 10-12 hours.

I honestly never understood the huge outrage about battery life of the DS4. It lasts way more hours than it is healthy to play without taking a break.

 

[Strange]

I keep it tethered with a micro USB too and keep it charged all the time so I'm not sure where the fuss is either.

Yeah me too, at least this gen it should be faster charging too so that particular fake concern should be taken off the list

The dual analogue controller you mean. The dualshock came after.

 

[Strange]

Missing the original PS controller though!

The dual analogue didn't revolutionise anything because barely anything supported it outside of 'digital mode'.

Source: day one adopter of the Dual Analogue controller for PlayStation. Some Wipeout games didn't even support it but did support NegCon controllers(!). WTF. Then there were games like Colony Wars that were basically unplayable without it. Hence the problem of getting adoption for features not introduced at the start of the generation, and while it's important to put things like gyros for aiming (the absolutely best!), touchpad and all the cool shiny stuff in DualSense.

Whaaaat!? Where's the Ape Escape love!

Leave it as a perfect memory. I tried playing Ape Escape again a couple of years ago and it doesn't hold up

pft... that's like your non-doctor snek oil opinion. 6-12 hours could be 2-4 gameplay sessions, which is short to me! I'd at least want 7 sessions (i.e. 7 separate days) worth of playing games before having to deal with the battery. Fewer charge cycles at least.

Yeah, it's amazing how some experiences are best left in the past.

Do you not... sleep?

Sleep is for puny mortals. :smile2:

You don't get to tell us what is a healthy amount in one go. If we want longer marathon sessions, so be it.

I do get to tell you what's healthy, and you can of course choose to ignore that advice

Which is why I bought two DS5 controllers. One is always charging while I play on the other until it goes flat.

I was thinking of adding some innuendo for @London Geezer but can't think of anything that rhymes with flat.

Get an extra controller and a charging stand, problem solved.
