Sony has obtained a patent for a new PlayStation controller with Globe Mental House Organisation (WIPO). The most recent controller style and design provides two new buttons. It seems remarkably similar to the latest DualShock 4 but with a few of more buttons on the rear and one particular big omission: the PS button on the front, information portal Pocket-Lint.com documented on Monday. The new PlayStation controller can be witnessed with the exact layout for its encounter buttons, analogue sticks, and directional pad.

On the other hand, the backside is just the exact same but features two new configurable buttons, which usually means just one can programme them to execute any functionality. The buttons are identical to the new DualShock 4 attachment that Sony is releasing on January 23rd that provides programmable buttons to the back again, according to Engadget.

“The two again buttons can be activated with triggers in most of the proposed models. Whilst they feel to be located directly behind the analog sticks on most of the proposed layouts in the patent, there is mention that they may move to other spots,” claimed Polygon.

Notably, the PlayStation 5 is set for launch in 2020 and it is envisioned to occur with a USB Style-C port. The hottest layout also shows a USB Micro-B charger, suggesting that this new controller could work with the PS 4.

There is a likelihood that this style proven in the patent may well not be last or in depth. It is also not specific when it will in fact arrive, because the layouts were being revealed as part of a patent application granted on December 26, one particular can count on them to launch shortly.
