You are among the lucky owners of PS5 and from the first moment you wondered how many symbols there are on yours Dualense? Well, your question has finally been answered! According to what emerged from a recent interview with The Verge's microphones Yuji Morisawa e Takeshi Igarashi, designers responsible for the look of the innovative PlayStation 5 pad, unveiled that to achieve the textured back finish of the DualSense they have stamped 40.000 symbols, including squares, crosses, triangles and circles.
According to the words of Morisawa e Igarashi, the whole controller design was created by hand, in order to improve the grip of the latter. These are not simple sketches, as Sony's Senior Art Director of the Design Center Product Design Group explained that many of these were handcrafted, digitized, simulated, applied to real gamepad prototypes and tested over and over again. until the teams found the balance they wanted. Aesthetically beautiful and quite rough, so as to improve comfort and grip. In addition, particular attention was paid to the thickness of the symbols on the Dualense di PS5, since the latter did not have to be annoying to the touch during long gaming sessions. These tiny fine finishes have been stacked on top of each other, thus creating perfectly three-dimensional elements. So it's not a single, evenly spaced layer like the tiny dots on Sony's old DualShock 4.
Do you think this extreme attention to detail has cost the Japanese giant an arm and a leg? Not at all, since the same Morisawa claimed that applying symbols to the Dualense it was the easiest part of the job. Each of these 40.000 elements is part of the controller shell, created thanks to the use of laser cutting, during the molding process, and the right equipment to make the latter. Additionally, the gamepad's design has been optimized to keep symbols intact as they are pulled out of the mold.
