With new buttons on the back, the DualShock 5 controller should be adjustable. At least that’s what a new Sony patent says.

The rumors about the DualShock 5 just don’t stop. Sony patents have already become public several times, which have given us a possible outlook on the PS5 controller’s appearance and functions. Now, another patent has surfaced, which shows us perhaps the strangest idea Sony has had for the DualShock 5 so far.

The PS5 controller will (probably) also have buttons on the back

At first glance, the patent discovered by the Dutch site LetsGoDigital seems to confirm the existence of more buttons on the back of the controller.

We know that: After the announcement of the optional “back button attachment”, with which normal DualShock 4 controllers can be expanded by additional programmable buttons on the back, many fans had already suspected that the DualShock 5 would look similar.

The DualShock 5’s new buttons are mounted in pairs on the left and right rear panels and are designed to provide additional options to enhance the gaming experience.

Buttons and buttons on the back of controllers are nothing new anymore. Microsoft has been offering this feature with the Xbox Elite controller for years, while there are also various third party providers for the PS4.

Handles of the DualShock 5 can be extended at the touch of a button

Large controllers for large hands: What’s really new, however, is the idea of being able to customize the DualShock 5’s grips to fit your hands better. Two knobs on the new back buttons are apparently supposed to make it possible to change the length of the grips.

This could be especially helpful for people with relatively large hands, who would be offered a firmer grip. But how this function looks like in detail cannot be said at the moment.

No announcement: As always, it should be noted that patents are not confirmed plans. It is possible that Sony will never put the idea into practice. We have made an official inquiry and will update this article if we receive a response.
