Re: Are the PS5 DualSense controller features 100% exclusive to it?
@REDRA-11 You're better off tagging EA and Codemasters staff here like @EA_Kent or shooting them a tweet.
The Impulse Triggers isn't really comparable. The Xbox controller uses a rumble motor on the triggers, the same kind it has on the handles. It's just rumble. The adaptative triggers of the Dualsense actually increases and decreases tension and can create distinct pressing stages or stops along trigger travel.
The same with the haptics. Xbox controllers still uses standard rumble motors:
Its an asymmetrically weighted contraption that produce vibrations when it spins.
The Dualsense use a kind of voice coil actuator:
Like this on the inside:
It's a coil that will produce vibration corresponding to the current that passes through it. It's that much different from how a headphone or speaker works.
The amplitude and precision are considerably greater. Just think of how it actually needs some time for the rumble pack to get going and to stop completely on a regular controller, whereas with a voice coil/resonant actuator you can play with it instantaneously. Better yet, the haptics and feed on the audio engine of the game – so quite literally a headphone, but producing vibrations instead of sound.
All in all, I won't count on it. Will probably have good feedback but I don't think they can be equated.
