Sony was destined to flood retail with alternative DualSense controller colours at some point, the question has always been: when? Forgive the shaky source, but Spanish website Area Jugones – renowned, apparently, for PS Plus leaks in the past – has heard that brand new PS5 pads are en route.
According to the website, there’ll be two different colours to complement the existing white-and-grey option: red-and-black and black-and-grey. The site doesn’t have any pictures or documentation to support the speculation, but it’s an easy to believe rumour, isn’t it? Black-and-grey, in particular, is almost guaranteed to happen at some point – regardless of this story’s validity.
There’s no tentative release date mentioned in the report, although the site says that they’ll launch “very soon”, according to its internal contacts. Presumably, that would peg these for the summer – assuming this is all true, of course. With the PS5 console approaching an install base of 10 million units, the timing feels about right to us.

Would love a vomit green controller.
I'll be all over a black and red one if this is true.
Im holding off purchase of the second controllerer because I am waiting for alternative colors. If the rumor is true then I will probably get the black and grey combination, although I was hoping for a blue controller.
Nice, I want to buy second controller with different colours so that I still can play ps5 when my first controller is charged. I hope there's psone classic colours like dualshock 4 anniversary edition
I would love a classic PS1 inspired color scheme…but hopefully also some assurance from Sony that the potential for stick drift has been fixed, had to send one back already for replacement!
Found a nice black faceplate so it would be nice to have a black controller to go with it.
Just give me a Miles Morales controller and I’ll be happy 😹🕷🕸
Stick drift in other colors... sounds great!
I'll take an orange one.
If it's more black and red (like Miles Morales suit) than majority red, I'd go for it.
Also would love a rose gold and white Dualsense similar to the rose gold DS4 I have.
You can already get highly customized dualsenses..... https://www.colorware.com/p-1184-dualsense.aspx?c=ir4-8zsnm*ir6-8zukm*iqz-8zplo*ir8-8zv6o*ira-8zx1n&cartRecordId=0
@get2sammyb
Red and black, if the correct red will do me just fine.
I want a black controller! So black that I can't see it in my hands at night, do it Sony!
Back and Grey or red and black for me. I’m very interested in getting a non-whirr to controller. It’ll also allow me to have one charge while the other runs out like I did with my DS4.
I hope this is enroute soon for sure.
Don't see the point in me getting one unless they are also releasing console panels to match! Would look tacky for the controller and console to be different colour schemes I think.
Black and red all the way.sony need a green and black.and a yellow and black ps5 controller also.word up son
Transparent please!
@HMazzy111 That's very true, I doubt they will make different color panels at this point. It appears Dbrand makes the best ones so far although they're sold out.
Hope Sony releases a blue controller.
well, the new controller colours won't match with the ugly wihite console. perhaps we have to wait until next year for a black ps5 sku with a matching controller then.
Just black and black for me, please!
My PS5 lives in the shadow of a shelf under my TV, so the white faceplates don't really show, so black and grey for the controller, as the only bit on show, would be perfect.
Shrug. The white of the PS5 has really grown on me. I think it and its controllers look great.
First, they have to get rid of stick drifting problems or breaking triggers. So far, I have the feeling, the Dual Sense is a ticking time bomb.
But I would also prefer more color options.
I need olive green (not camo) so bad. I try to get it for every system. I ordered the PS4 one off eBay because it was an exclusive pack in with the Battlefield PS4 bundle.
Whole red, and could you make it DualShock 3 shape, please?
I'd love a ps5 first before they start throwing controllers out! Had money since December but can't get a console. Priorities Sony?
Good. Once those colors come out I can put my white one away. Not trying to give it permanent stains
I wouldn't mind a fiery red colour similar to the Controller I recently bought for the Series X but they're a bit pricey in all honesty. I'm happy with my white Dualsense really plus I have a spare one too so a new Controller isn't needed atm.
@Nintendo4Sonic Had no issues with drifting. This is not a Switch Joy Con that is poorly made and I believe the issue comes from people being rough with them. Even with Switch I never had a problem because I was always gentle with the sticks.
Like Batman, black or very dark grey 😎
@RubyCarbuncle I'm always careful. And I never broke a PS4 controller. Also my N64 controllers sticks still are great.
It took about 4-5 months when my Dual Sense started drifting and it got worse. So I sent it in.
I got 2 Dual Sense now, both are totally new.
I'll see how long they hold up.
But the one I ordered for the waiting time, the R2 has a weird sound, which doesn't feel good.
I think this is the PS5s biggest problem right now, the controller quality of life
'the existing white-and-grey option..'
???
I was thinking a white and grey might be cool as a second controller but...looking at it..nah I ll get two same awesome origin white and black.
Maybe I should order it soon before they become hard to find.
I’ll take an all matte black with traditional coloured buttons & a coloured PlayStation button please 👍🏼🤞🏼
Do these new colors also address the drift issue that EVERY controller will get or do we not care about that anymore?
Love mine as it is.
@Nintendo4Sonic I'm sorry to hear you're having these issues. It always sucks when something like this occurs when you make a new purchase doesn't it. Regardless I hope you get everything sorted out soon.
Am I the only one who had hoped it was the black color Sony would change? When I first saw the PS5, I wanted all variants to have white sides, and instead the black center should come in red, green, purple and many more colors.
@RubyCarbuncle Thank you. As far as I know, a lot of PS5 users are having trouble with these issues.
But this is not typical for Sony quality.
I guess and hope, they will fix that problem by time. The Dual Shock 4 also got a V2 series which got better.
Need myself a black model
Sony how about making the controllers more durable rather than triggers breaking and stick drift before you worry about making more colours
@Nintendo4Sonic Fingers crossed.
Have found it strange that Sony hasn't offered any alternatives of yet. As I understand it, accessories make money and really, your just changing the color of the outside plastic.
Will be nice as I've never been a fan of white/light grey controllers.. on any console.
Before changing colours they should sort out some of the minor design flaws of the dualsense. Not having the gap between shoulder and trigger buttons for example. The curved buttons, and the buttons that stuck (possibly the same fault).
White fits my décor. PS5, PSVR, Aim, Nest...all white. The two DualSenses fit in perfectly with the charging station.
Would love Sony to take a leaf out of Microsoft and Nintendo's books when it comes to controller colours. Black and grey might be nice if it's PS1 themed, but black and red sounds a bit dull.
@get2sammyb What gray? The controller is white and black...
