The patent describes a controller built with magnetic connections. These magnets hold different modules firmly together. Users could pull off sections like the grips or the central touchpad area. Then they could attach different modules.
This design points to much greater customization. Players might add modules with extra buttons or paddles. Other modules could include new screens or different kinds of thumbsticks. The goal seems to be letting players build a controller perfect for their hands or their favorite games.
Sony likely wants to solve problems with current controllers. The patent mentions making controllers more comfortable for long play sessions. It also suggests making controllers better for people with different hand sizes. The magnetic system would let players adjust the controller’s shape quickly.
The patent pictures modules locking together strongly. This ensures the controller stays solid during intense gameplay. Players wouldn’t worry about pieces coming loose accidentally. The system looks designed for easy changes without tools.
This news follows Sony’s history of improving its controllers. The DualSense added features like advanced haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. A modular system would be another big step. It could offer players more choices than ever before.
