As we reported months ago, the rear of the PlayStation 5’s pad is made up of tiny symbols inspired by the system’s iconic face buttons. Now that we have one of the controllers in our home, however, we have to admit that the detail is surprisingly small. In fact, it actually contributes to the grippy part of the controller, and it feels good in the hand.
You’d never notice it on a small embedded video, though, so one Reddit user has come up with a solution: put the handset under a microscope. You can see the results below:
If you want to watch the full video for a better glimpse of PS5’s teensiest feature, you can find it through here. You’ve got to love this kind of attention to detail, right?

It’s like alphabetti spaghetti.
That's actually a really cool and subtle detail. Microsoft does that to an extent with their Xbox consoles nowadays so it's nice to see Sony get creative with little visual easter eggs like that
That is a really cute detail.
@nessisonett It does look like alphabet spaghetti (I see it more as soup).
Now that I think of it, that might mean that the PS5's faceplates are edible. I mean, think about it. Why are they removable? Well it's hard to eat something if it's attached to something else, so Sony kindly gives us the option to eat them without trouble. That might be why they shut down the Platestation third-party plates, because Sony doesn't want to lose out on the profit. This might mean that additional edible plates will be ridiculous expensive, and the only way to get cheaper ones is by either getting ones from Etsy that don't taste as good, or officially licensed plates from third-parties that aren't edible.
[ omg why did I put so much time on a stupid joke... ]
How the hell have they not done sponsored spaghetti shapes yet?!
@get2sammyb Who said they weren't?
@HotGoomba___Rebrand
I don't know if that is the only reason why they are banning third party plates. Think of the airflow which should also cool the additional SSD under the cover plate. Perhaps they are afraid that the airflow will be obstructed or insufficient. The guarantee would be the same because you can simply exchange it back.
Thats really cool. Only issue i have is... Well, come back in 6 months time and do exactly the same so we can see all the built up grime in those lovely little symbols 😂
Dont think i could bring myself to ever buy a used one 🤢
Now that's an attention to details 😃
@TheFrenchiestFry the rubber feet on the PS4 are also the face button shapes too 😁
@get2sammyb It’s not spaghetti, but at Gamescom 2013 (I think) they were handing out PlayStation Haribo candies in the shapes of PS symbols (only in the entertainment area). What a great piece of souvenir to have in your collection! Unfortunately I ate them right away
I don't know how many times I'm going to see an article/post talking about this detail. This is known for like 2 months or something, but I'm expecting more talk about it when the PS5 releases!
P.S. not talking about Push, mostly talking about reddit lol
I NEED TO TOUCH IT ;-o I really hope SONY puts forward the PS5 release date(with all the accessories of course)in the UK and not back :-/ because of all this Virus stuff to. Like I said I need to touch it
@Total_Weirdo planet playstation 😁
@TheFrenchiestFry what ones do Xbox do? I never knew this was a thing until now. It’s a nice touch from both companies
@Carl-G they will not push the release back trust me .
@Boucho11 A really cool one for example was hidden within the circuit board of the One X, where they indented a picture of Master Chief riding a scorpion as a reference to the console's "Project Scorpio" codename
Another one on the One S was that they indented an image of a chibi Master Chief onto the DVD drive of every console
On the Series X they hid another Master Chief engraving on the console's fan of all places
@ORO_ERICIUS Yeah, you don't want the edible plates to expire quickly.
I posted video and photos of the designs using the screen recorder feature and super macro lens of my Oneplus 7T phone.
@HotGoomba___Rebrand best comment!!!

@theheadofabroom What Country are you in? Ours comes the 12th.
@Mad001 lucky, I have not been able to locate the headphones anywhere.
@LuciferLord I'm in the UK, home of this fine publication
@theheadofabroom Awesome. Do you all watch our elections closely?
@LuciferLord the whole preorder didn't work out for s lot of people on the consoles or accessories , they should of held back a year.
@Mad001 I was lucky enough to get chosen by Sony to make the preorder. Those consoles are guaranteed to come out on release.
@LuciferLord probably as much as we watch theirs 😂
@LuciferLord I try not to
@LuciferLord sweet! 👍
@theheadofabroom not worth it. Our electoral process has been a joke since we elected our first entertainer as president Ronald Reagan.
