New Images showing a black PS5 DualSense controller have been published by the United States’ Federal Communications Commission.
It’s the second time the FCC has approveda black DualSense controller. However, the latest listing – spotted bya Twitter user– features black face buttons to match its design.
The officially revealed DualSense features a two-toned white and black design. It’s likely that the black controller shown in the FCC images is intended for development kits, which typically feature different colouring to retail products.
