In late 2019, Sony introduced the PlayStation 4 DualShock 4 Controller Attachment, featuring two additional programmable buttons that expand the functionality of the device. According to the latest patent, the company is developing a similar accessory for the DualSense presented with the PlayStation 5.
–
The patent application was filed by the company at the end of June last year, and the patent was granted a few days ago. Judging by the images, the device will receive a design that is almost identical to a similar accessory for the DualShock 4. Before the release of the PlayStation 5, it was assumed that the controller for the console will have built-in rear buttons, but this did not happen. As in the case with the previous device, the new accessory will be connected to the controller using the ports located on its bottom end. Between the keys will be a round OLED display, as on the previous model, which will display the designations of the functions assigned to the buttons.

It should be noted that it is not yet reliably known when the device will enter the market. In addition, there is a possibility that Sony has patented the panel with additional keys only to prevent third-party companies from releasing such accessories.
