| [* black] Liftoff! Four Phillips screws and some clips are the only things standing between customers and an open DualSense controller. Not bad. | |
| - | [* black] Even better: the battery is dead simple to disconnect, and not held in place with adhesive. |
| - | [* black] This was also the case for the DualShock 4 controller; great to see that design continued here. |
| - | [* icon_note] Smartphone manufacturers, take a tip: a hard case like this means you don't have to glue down a battery, making them easier to remove and doing a lot of good for the Earth. |
| - | [* black] PS5's DualSense contains 5.7 Wh in this easily removed package. The prior-gen DualShock 4 held 3.7 Wh. This new battery is more in line with Nintendo's beefy Pro Controller, which carries 5 Wh. |
| + | [* black] The one question on our mind, though: did Sony glue the battery down this time? |
| + | [* black] Phew! Nope—just like in the DualShock 4 and DualShock 3, it's still as easy as ever to remove the battery. |
| + | [* icon_note] Smartphone manufacturers, take a hint: a hard case like this means you don't have to glue down a battery, making them easier to remove and doing a lot of good for the Earth. |
| + | [* black] The battery is a chonker at 5.7 Wh. That's a sizable increase from the DualShock 4's 3.7 Wh pack, but ''something'' has to power all this crazy new tech. |
| + | [* icon_note] It's certainly more in line with Nintendo's beefy Pro Controller, however, which carries 5 Wh. |
