According to a new patent, Sony is working on a new controller, presumably for PS5 or a future PlayStation console, which has a tactile interface that is customizable and a group of buttons that can be rotated and exchanged. If this sounds familiar, it is because it sounds like a controller that would be equal parts of Nintendo Wii U and the Xbox adaptive controller.
A controller device includes a controlling body with an interface port and at least one control information port , says an exception of the patent. A modular input control can be removably connected to the controller s body. The modular input control includes an interface connector region that is configured to communicatically coupling the modular input control to the interface port. The modular input control is configured to rotate freely when it is connected to the controller body and operable in any orientation around the rotation axis .
Unfortunately, the patent is full of technical jargon, so it is difficult to decipher and, of course, it is very possible that nothing comes out of this patent. In fact, many patents never pass from the conceptual stage to real products or consumer technology. And, of course, it is possible that this patent has nothing to do with PlayStation or PS5, but it seems unlikely given the previous description and the images below.
As always, we will make sure to keep you informed when and if Sony provides some kind of comment about this patent and the speculations you have created. That said, do not wait for this to happen since Sony never comments on patents.
