Controllers can change the look of your entire set-up and whether you prefer shiny, matte, colourful, themed or even coated in stickers, there’s almost no end to the many ways you can bring some life to your standard controller.
For a while now, you’ve been able to get a whole range of colourful controllers from Sony. However, nearly all of those available are monochromatic. So these brand-new designs are certainly eye-catching.
Starting in September, the four new designs will drop.
The camo version is definitely our personal favourite.
The light blue and maroon design is called Berry Blue.
The orange and navy blue design is Sunset Orange. Sadly, for those of you in Europe – you won’t be able to get your hands on this one as it’s not being released outside the US. Bit of a shame, as it reminds us a LOT of one very specific anime character…
Our favourite, the Blue Camouflage controller, features subtle DualShock 4 shapes in the camouflage. Pretty cool, right? If you think it looks familiar, it’s probably because it’s quite similar to the Green Camouflage model that’s already out.
The only monochromatic addition is the Copper DualShock 4. If you live in the US, it’s important to note that it will be a GameStop exclusive at first. It’s similar to the Gold and Silver models available now for $47 each.
There’s been some beautiful controllers released with some of Sony’s most-recent themed consoles. They include Kingdom Hearts and Spider-Man designs, but they’re only available in the special edition console bundles.
Which of these new colourful controllers will be on your wish list?
Speaking of controllers, GameByte recently reviewed one of the pro esports controllers available from SCUF. Complete with mappable back paddles and available in more colours than you could shake a stick at.
