PS5 - Unboxing the DualSense Controller! - YouTube
Channel: unknown
[0]
- This is the brand new
DualSense controller for PS5,
[3]
which we happen to have a little early.
[5]
So why don't we take a deeper dive
[7]
on what the PS5 controller is all about?
[10]
- [Ken] Are
you sure it won't be sand?
[12]
- If there's sand inside this box,
[14]
I'm gonna cry live on camera.
[17]
So up front, DualSense
wireless controller for PS5.
[21]
We'll flip it over to the back;
[22]
"Haptic feedback, feel more
[24]
"with physically responsive feedback to
[25]
"your in-game actions, adaptive triggers."
[28]
That's actually something
I definitely wanna try.
[30]
The built-in microphone,
which is nice to have
[32]
because I'm someone who
doesn't usually keep
[33]
a headset around,
[35]
and signature comfort.
[36]
Contents;
[37]
"DualSense wireless controller
[38]
"and an instruction manual."
[39]
No USB-C?
[41]
"Compatible hardware, PlayStation Five."
[43]
I hope that that's not
always gonna be the case
[46]
because it's gonna be really sad
[48]
if this doesn't work on Android, iOS
[51]
as a normal Bluetooth controller.
[52]
All right, here goes nothing.
[54]
Let's unbox the PS5
controller for the first time.
[59]
And inside here...
[62]
- [Ken] No, literally facing you.
[65]
- This thing?
[66]
This thing?
[68]
- [Ken] Do you want me
to unbox it for you?
[68]
- Oh, this thing.
[69]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that.
[71]
I saw that.
[72]
Oh yeah!
[74]
That is a DualSense controller.
[77]
This isn't white at all, this is gray.
[80]
All of the images make
it look totally white.
[83]
Wait, here, for comparison,
[85]
this is a DualSense...
[86]
or sorry, a DualShock four.
[88]
Can you see a difference there?
[90]
This looks so significantly grayer.
[92]
All right, all right,
[93]
before I look too much
into the controller,
[95]
that's literally all you get in the box.
[97]
There's an instruction manual
[98]
but there's no USB cable
or anything like that.
[101]
So what do you get with
[101]
your $70 DualSense controller for PS5?
[105]
Well, first of all, a very
similar, familiar layout.
[107]
So you have your D-pad here,
[109]
which I will say, the D-pad
is like one individual piece.
[112]
So you can see that the entire thing moves
[114]
as you tap it back and forth.
[116]
You also do have your standard buttons,
[119]
which actually have a little bit
[120]
of a different feel to them.
[121]
We have our clickable PlayStation button.
[123]
Oh, oh, it's come alive, okay.
[125]
Well, we'll ignore that for a moment.
[127]
There's a physical button on here,
[129]
which looks like it is for muting
[131]
either your headset or,
I assume, the actual mic.
[134]
And you have your little touch pad,
[136]
which feels very similar
to what you got on the PS4.
[139]
Now, the thumb sticks...
[141]
I like, it's actually a
very grippy kind of finish.
[144]
So it's got that little dome on the inside
[146]
so it's easy to grab.
[147]
I mean, literally, no
matter where I touch it,
[149]
it's very, very grippy.
[150]
"I'm gonna teabag your mom."
[153]
I don't know, is that what kids sound like
[154]
on PSN these days?
[156]
So on, top we have our triggers.
[157]
Oh!
[158]
That's actually really nice.
[160]
This actually is surprisingly stiff.
[162]
Not so much, the fact that you really have
[163]
to crank it in,
[164]
but you have a lot of sort of
levels of sensitivity there.
[169]
Interesting.
[170]
Something I'll say with
all of these buttons,
[172]
they feel well damped, right?
[173]
So if you use a lot of controllers,
[174]
especially if you use
like cheap controllers,
[176]
you can tell that, oftentimes,
[177]
you can see that it's a button
[178]
but it kind of just feels sort of hollow.
[180]
It doesn't feel very, I wanna say, premium
[183]
but like you can kinda tell,
[183]
it just feels a little cheapy.
[185]
Every single of these buttons,
I mean you can hear it.
[188]
It's very like satisfying sounding.
[191]
So of course we have our
USB-C port down here.
[194]
Nothing really on the back, short of,
[196]
it looks to be, a little like pinhole.
[199]
I wonder if this is how you reset it.
[201]
There's a little QR code on the back.
[203]
I wonder what happens
when you scan the QR code.
[205]
There we go, get the code.
[206]
Oh, look, that exactly lines
up with the actual number
[209]
on the back of the PS5 controller.
[212]
So I don't think you can see
[213]
but it's really pretty sharp,
[215]
whereas you look at something
like the DualShock Four,
[217]
it's much rounder on the bottom.
[219]
So there's no doubt that the DualSense is
[221]
a larger overall controller
than what you get
[223]
with the DualShock Four.
[224]
Oh!
[225]
Lookie, what we've got here.
[228]
Yo, 'sup dude?
[229]
- Why are you upside down?
- You're upside down!
[232]
- I said, it's like, we're
looking in a sexy mirror.
[235]
- All right, dude, look
at this, look at this.
[239]
- That's dope.
[240]
- It is a lot bigger than the DualSense,
[242]
or the DualShock Four.
[244]
Like, if you put it like side by side...
[246]
- I prefer Xbox controllers.
[249]
- So I've got the Series
X controller here.
[252]
So the thing is they've
got like the same layout.
[254]
- Yo, I'm definitely gonna get the PS5.
[256]
The controller's dope.
[257]
I don't know, I think the
PlayStation kind of looks ugly.
[260]
But, I mean, we say that as
[262]
ever since PS2,
[263]
it's always been black,
slim, to the point, whatever.
[267]
I don't give a (censored) how it looks,
[268]
I just want to play it.
[269]
Thank you for showing me that.
[271]
It means a lot, dude.
[272]
- Yeah, of course, man.
[273]
So when you put the DualSense
controllers side by side
[276]
with the Xbox Series X controller
[277]
as well as the DualShock Four,
[279]
there are a few things
that really jump out.
[281]
First of all, this guy seems tiny, right?
[283]
Both of these controllers
seem much larger.
[286]
Specifically, the DualSense, actually,
[287]
I think is the biggest of the three.
[289]
I'm not gonna say
[290]
that I need to tear this thing apart
[293]
but I kind of want to see what's inside.
[295]
Just a little bit, just a little bit.
[298]
Welcome friends
[299]
to a trip down bad idea lane,
[302]
starting out with "Let's do what no one
[304]
"in their right mind would ever try
[305]
"and think would remotely work."
[307]
Let's plug the DualSense controller
[309]
into an Xbox Series X.
[311]
Does it make sense to
try this before the PS4
[313]
or any of the other options
that might have a slight chance
[315]
of working?
[316]
Of course.
[317]
Am I going to do it anyway?
[318]
Absolutely.
[319]
Oh, it's charging.
[320]
The PlayStation is harvesting its energy
[322]
from the Xbox.
[324]
Nope.
[326]
Okay, don't plug this into your Series X.
[328]
Let's try a PS4.
[330]
So I don't think this is supposed to work.
[332]
And is it going to work?
[336]
- [Ken] Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[338]
Look, look, look, look.
[339]
- Oh my God, the microphone works!
[340]
Check!
[341]
Check!
[342]
Ah, it works!
[347]
I mean, that sounds terrible.
[348]
- Oh, look at that.
[349]
- Is that...
- Oh my God!
[352]
- Is that it?
[353]
- No, it is not!
[356]
- Wait.
[357]
No.
- But it paired though.
[359]
It showed up as a wireless controller.
[361]
Wait a minute.
[363]
- It's blue though.
- It's connected.
[364]
- And it's not to say
that this, in the future,
[366]
couldn't work with a PS4.
[367]
I don't think they would necessarily--
[369]
- They wanna sell PS5s.
[370]
- Yeah, absolutely.
[371]
- This just got spicy, my friends!
[373]
Spicy!
[374]
Next up, we have one of the
[376]
most hardcore gaming PCs that I own,
[378]
the Surface Laptop Go.
[380]
Is that because it's
the only PC that I have
[384]
that I don't have to go search for?
[385]
Yes, yes it is.
[386]
But hey, a PC is a PC, right?
[388]
Oh, it works.
[389]
Okay, so our X axis works.
[391]
Our Z is a little bit weird
[394]
but the top buttons work,
[396]
rotation works,
[398]
face buttons work.
[399]
Dude, this is a fully
functional PC controller.
[403]
It might not be set up quite right.
[405]
I would say, almost definitely, won't be.
[408]
But I plugged it in and it just works
[409]
right out of the box.
[410]
Wireless controller, yes please!
[412]
The DualSense is now
paired with my Pixel 5,
[415]
what happens if I press buttons?
[417]
It works!
[418]
It works as the home button!
[420]
Wait, hang on.
[421]
If I scroll...
[422]
Dude, this 100% works.
[425]
Now, let's play some
Xbox games via XCloud
[428]
with our DualSense controller.
[430]
Yeah, buddy!
[432]
I am playing an Xbox
game using the DualSense 5
[438]
or the DualSense regular.
[440]
So this certainly isn't the way I thought
[442]
I would first test
[443]
out the DualSense controller
[445]
but there are some things
that we can learn here.
[447]
So of course, some of the things,
[449]
some of the special features
simply are not working here.
[450]
So I don't have any of the vibration,
[452]
I don't have any of the haptic feedback
[454]
but what I do have as a good sense for
[455]
how the controller feels.
[457]
So there are a couple of
things that jump out to me.
[459]
I really like these triggers,
[460]
even without the fact
that I don't have that
[462]
extra sort of level of feedback
[465]
that I will when I'm playing on a PS5,
[467]
but they just have a nice feel to them.
[469]
Something else that's interesting,
[470]
as I wildly go off the road,
[472]
is the fact that this has a little bit of
[474]
a looser style of stick than I'm used to.
[476]
So especially, if you played
a lot on the Xbox controller,
[480]
you'll know that that is a
little bit of a firmer feel.
[482]
This actually feels a little bit lighter
[485]
but I don't hate it.
[485]
It's easy enough to control.
[487]
I also really like the
size of this controller.
[489]
I don't exactly have huge hands
[491]
but this feels very,
very comfortable to me.
[494]
But with very little setup,
[495]
I am up and running,
[497]
using the DualSense controller on Android
[499]
and specifically, inside
of Xbox Game Pass.
[502]
We all know what time it is.
[503]
- [Ken] We're gonna open it?
[505]
- We're gonna open it.
[506]
There's no clear way of doing this
[507]
so I think my only way to do it is
[509]
to start by getting some
guitar picks in here
[511]
and just trying to separate
it from the chassis.
[513]
Did you realize that all the
bumps on the controller are
[516]
tiny, little triangles and squares
[519]
and circles?
[522]
I know that phrase.
[524]
It's all the face buttons.
[525]
- That's really in there.
[527]
Oh, Oh!
- No, it's fine, that's fine.
[529]
That's fine.
[530]
Calm down, calm down,
[531]
calm down.
[532]
We got it, we got it.
[532]
- Now would be a great time to remind you
[534]
to subscribe to the channel
[535]
and ring that notification bell
[537]
because we have a whole lot
more PlayStation content
[539]
on the way soon.
[540]
Including, who knows?
[541]
Maybe a little bit of a in-depth look
[543]
at the PS5 itself.
[545]
And not, it's horribly
mangled controller friends.
[548]
- So update, this now
looks like nightmare fuel
[550]
but we've gotten at least the first level.
[552]
So we can start to see the
rumble motors in the controller.
[556]
We see some circuit boards.
[557]
Now, the main thing is
just trying to detach it
[559]
from the top.
[561]
- Yeah, that's it, that's it.
[562]
Boom!
- Well, we broke it
[563]
but it's fine.
[565]
- Oh, we did break it,
[565]
well...
- That's okay.
[566]
Whatever.
[567]
For science!
[569]
For science!
[570]
- So inside we have what
are pretty major rumbles
[574]
in the actual handle themselves.
[577]
You also see that the impulse triggers.
[579]
There's a whole lot going on here.
[581]
I'm not sure if you can quite see that
[582]
but essentially, right below the trigger,
[584]
there's this huge mechanism here which,
[586]
well I can't actually get it to fire up.
[588]
Now we also do have our 1560 mAh battery.
[591]
This part, if I was
going to say any part of
[594]
this controller is
mildly user serviceable,
[596]
it would probably be the battery.
[597]
You can kind of get the battery out
[599]
without destroying everything.
[600]
The main problem we had
was removing this shell.
[603]
You see that the plastic is
very complex shapes would
[605]
actually come in underneath
where the triggers are
[608]
and it's really hard to get
that out without breaking,
[611]
so maybe some slight damage there.
[614]
But I think we actually
can get this back together
[616]
and it should work.
[617]
This has two microphones.
[618]
Wait, you see this?
[620]
So there's a microphone right here,
[622]
which is what you would see on
[623]
this part of the controller, right?
[625]
So it's like right below
where the PlayStation logo is.
[627]
But if you look on the back,
[628]
there's a second microphone which lines up
[630]
with the little hole right here.
[633]
- [Ken] Well maybe, that's like
[634]
a noise-canceling microphone?
- Yeah!
[635]
So I guess it doesn't have to listen
[636]
to the sounds of your
hands furiously clicking
[640]
in Red Dead Three.
[642]
- [Matt] Sure it's not a speaker?
[643]
- No, 'cause the speaker, you can see,
[644]
is actually right here
[645]
and the speaker is actually fairly large.
[647]
The speaker looks like
an HDMI port from here.
[649]
There is a whole lot
of tech that is crammed
[652]
into the DualSense controller,
[653]
which makes sense, especially at 70 bucks.
[655]
But until next time, thank
you very much for watching.
[657]
Make sure to subscribe to the channel
[659]
for more PS5 content like this.
[661]
And I will now go and spend
the next three hours trying
[665]
to reassemble this
[666]
and maybe go get some super glue.
