PlayStation 5 was launched globally in November last year and in India in February this year. The console comes with a single DualSense controller (in the box) that is a major upgrade from the previous-generation DualShock controller. The DualSense controller brings new features like adaptive triggers that allow players to feel the tension and feedback of weapons in games. The DualSense controller also has Bluetooth functionality that allows it to be connected to different devices, though you may not be able to use all the features of the controller.

The DualSense controller that comes with the PS5 and can also be purchased separately has the typical PlayStation layout of buttons and analogue sticks. It retains the touchpad from the DualShock controller and inbuilt Bluetooth support that allows it to be used with other devices.
