Here’s a one-of-a-kind DualSense controller: it’s got an upside-down Triangle button in the place of its Cross button. This bizarre manufacturing error was posted to Reddit by the brilliantly named TalentedTortoise. It works without issue – the bottom button still registers as it should – it’s just got the wrong component in it.
If this was ours, we reckon we’d probably have to retire it, because we don’t think we’ve ever seen a controller ship with this kind of error before. This one deserves to be put on display or something.

Yeah, that'd get put somewhere safe... mainly because errors like that end up selling for a nice profit down the line.
Wow. 😮
So that means there is also unlucky people who have double X buttons PS5 controller. 🤣
If you put all 4 Triangle buttons, it will looks like mini DDR pad. 😂
First thing I thought of was the C buttons on the N64 controller.
It's almost if someone mistook the triangle for a arrow. Now the controller has a up and down button, lol
I didn't know they had unpaid interns on the assembly line. Imagine how a first time PS user would be confused.
@get2sammyb Thanks for the well written title
I want one...........now!!!
some would say it's shopped.
@Number09 buy two, exchange Buttons, ready.
That's a weird dualsense lol.
I find this strange as i thought all previous playstation pad buttons had different location tags on the back side of them so you physically couldnt put them in the wrong place 🤷♂️

@God_of_Nowt it makes sense... on the package it says "Dualtriangle". For racing games with manual shifting up and down
**OCD INTENSIFIES**
Sony are just repping the spiritual belief of as above, so below. Next up, an interlocking triangle.
@Total_Weirdo It’s the weekend. What on earth do you expect?
None of that compares to part 3 where OMG! a skinny puppy song was used!
I LOST IT!!
Anyway, im a huge LBP fan going way back to the 1st and though i really want to try this im sad its gone 3d so now we are mostly looking at a floor rather than carefully crafted 2d worlds.
@Kidfunkadelic83 that might explain why the triangle is upside down? Location tag needed for the triangle button to face up at the top would be the inverse of the X button to go at the bottom, so if you flipped it an upside down triangle would fit where X goes
Uhm,its prononced as "X" button...
@NeuralDeclan i always thought all 4 had different lugs on them but you, that makes more sense.
I want a DualSense controller that has 4 Triangle buttons in different directions so it's literally just the N64 controller with the C buttons lol
Weird, mine too shipped without cross buttons.... They do have X (ecks) buttons though
@rachetmarvel It's not though...
'X'='ex'
'+'='cross'
Do I still call it X, personally? Yep, and I probably always will.
@CptH0vvDy You are correct.
Clearly someone is rebelling against the new 'x-cept' button.
Brilliant! Don't use it, 20 years from now unique factory assemble errors like this are highly collectable and only increase in value! Wich veteran PS gamer looks at the symbols anyway..
@Kidfunkadelic83
My thoughts exactly,I used to repair mod and customise xbox's and PlayStation's back in the day. They all have different location tangs so should be impossible.
@KarlDavies90 seems to me like more of a printing error if thats even possible. Saying that tho, maybe the ps5 pad is different and has universal buttons.
Wtf 😄 word up son
Lol, that’s actually pretty cool in a way.
@ThaBEN you know, this makes me think that somebody done this on purpose to have a laugh. The fact it’s triangle and upside down.
The strange thing is the way the buttons are made they will only fit in the spaces they are made for.....
So it's not something you can fake as a triangle button would only fit in the triangle slot.
I would keep it in mint condition and sell it to a collector. Miss prints are rare
@CptH0vvDy x can still be cross.
Damn, that just doesn't sit right with me.
it will be worth a fortune in 10 years' time! keep it in the box
Obviously someone working on the line is clearly an Xbox fan trying to jeopardize ps products...lmao
So many jump the gun...
@Mintie
Not really as people can take apart a controller and put the button in themselves.
It only applies to stuff like figures or a misprint.

@Mince No, see, it doesn't need a longer 'tail' to be a cross...a cross is defined by its 4 right angles (as opposed to an 'X' having 2 acute and 2 obtuse.) A plus sign is a plus sign, yes, but it is also a cross.
