For example, the popular YouTuber Austin Evans shared his impressions of the new game manipulator. Comparing the DualSense to the DualShock 4 for the PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 4 Pro showed that the new gamepad is not much, but still larger than its predecessor.

The blogger tried to connect the DualSense to the PlayStation 4 Pro, but wirelessly the old console did not recognize it. Even with a wired connection, the new controller did not function with the old console. However, the console recognized it and turned on the battery charging, and also activated the built-in microphone. In comparison, the Xbox One and the new Xbox Series S / X controllers are backward compatible. By the way, Evans also connected DualSense to the Xbox Series X. The console also recognized it as an Xbox controller, but DualSense did not work with it.
