New PS5 V2 Dualsense with higher battery life listed seems on-line – WGB

A brand new and improved model of the PlayStation 5’s Dualsense controller has popped up on-line and boasts improved battery life.

Listed because the PlayStation 5 V2 DualSense, the controller has appeared on Greatest Purchase Canada for $89.99 Canadian Hockey Monies, or no matter Canada makes use of. It’s at present listed as being discontinued, although.

The itemizing options all of the stuff we count on of the Dualsense such because the haptic suggestions and the adaptive triggers, however two key factors stand out. The primary is that this new model of the controller has a battery lifetime of 12 hours, a considerable improve of about 50% over the 8 hours that the present Dualsense is meant to get. Not that the Dualsense tends to get wherever near the 8 hours.

Sony might get this improved battery life by merely slapping a much bigger battery pack into the controller, changing the prevailing  1560mAh one. Or maybe they’ve gone the marginally trickier route of upgrading the controller parts themselves to be extra energy-efficient. Or it might be a mixture of each.

It’s not like Sony haven’t already performed round with the blokes of the Dualsense, both. They made just a few small modifications in 2022 as nicely.

The opposite fascinating factor listed alongside the improved battery life is a charging dock included with the controller. That’s a reasonably large deal as a result of proper now the charging dock is a separate product that retails for about $20-25, assuming you go for the official Sony-branded one.

The inclusion of a dock for a similar value as one of many older Dualsense’s is the one factor making me doubt this itemizing. It might be an unusually beneficiant transfer for Sony. Maybe it’s merely a Greatest-Purchase deal? But when that’s the case, the itemizing doesn’t phrase it that method.

Every part else seems to be equivalent, even right down to the 280g weight.
