Sony has drastically improved the DualShock controller for the PS4, with refined controls and new features, which include a touch pad, light bar, built-in speaker and headphone jack. Check out high-res photos of the DualShock 4 controller below and read our detailed analysis of the controller. You’ll see that Sony has stuck with the usual DualShock design, while adding lots of additions to make gaming on the PS4 more enjoyable.
The new DualShock 4 controller on the PS4 will work with a new and improved PlayStation Eye camera. The light strip on the controller will work with the stereo cameras on the PlayStation Eye to position the controller in 3D space, just like how the PlayStation Move works with the current PlayStation Eye, only the PS4 Eye will be much more accurate thanks to the dual cameras.
The leaked photos of the supposed PS4 controller from last week and over the weekend are real. The DualShock 4 controller was revealed at the PlayStation Meeting in New York this evening, revealing a slightly modified version of the controller from the leaked images. The controller will feature a touch pad in the center of the controller, headphone jack and light strip to allow the stereo cameras to locate the controller in the room.

A second image of the rumoured PS4 controller has leaked, giving credibility to the first image leak. The new image shows the new controller at a different perspective, and reveals a headphone jack on the underside of the controller. The image also shows the controller is slightly larger than the current DualShock design and indeed has two buttons on either side of the touch pad.
A leaked image of the PS4 controller has been floating around since yesterday, probably from a PS3 Dev Kit, showing an early proto-type of the new controller expected to replace the DualShock. The new controller suggests Sony will be incorporating PlayStation Move and a touch pad right inside the controller. The new controller also reveals a redesigned D-pad and analogue sticks.
