It could be argued that Sony's been too passive with the PS5's DualSense controller. Outside of a… reasonable number of single-colour pads, unique or limited edition controllers have been very few and far between over the course of the PS5's near four-year life.
But over the last week, PlayStation has announced two special DualSense designs, coinciding with its upcoming PS5 exclusives, Concord and Astro Bot. Now, we think that Concord controller looks really nice, but it's Astro Bot's tie-in that's got us asking the all-important question: is this the best DualSense yet?
The eyes on the touchpad. The elegant blue and white colours. It's a simple but super effective design. At least, in our opinion!

I don't really mind any of them, they're all pretty good, but yeah that Astrobot one is a winner

I'll bet it contains a hidden Easter egg.
