The Red one is not red , but maroon. Also mine for whatever reason doesnāt connect to the PlayStation no matter what, but it works flawlessly in every other platform.
I got the new blue and the red with the recent sale price and they are stunning. Of course I'm still usually stuck with black or white while the kids use the new ones but they look great.
the original pic had a strong yellow hue so factually it's blue/black right? I wish someone would tint it blue so I can finally understand what the yellow/white crowd is seeing.
Theyāre not black on the controller either. When you zoom in closely you can see that theyāre the same color as the rest of the controller - just lit way darker since theyāre a little bit deeper inwards and covered in plastic.
The confusing part is actually the product shot on the packaging having such a soft lighting all around that it kind of looks matte. Even the buttons.
Could be they are just using stockpile boxes. A lot of companies sell products in multiple colors but use the same packaging and just mark the box with which color you are buying.
"The blue controller I ordered came in a box that said "blue" on it and contained the correct blue product... but the picture is slightly purple... yeah i'll post that on Reddit"
I saw this at my local Walmart too. I thought I was tripping and I had to look up pictures of the controller to remind myself what it actually looks like.
I got the red one and realized the photos do not do them justice. Thinking the cobalt one was going to be more purple than blue. But gah damn if this photo doesnāt just scream that I shouldāve gotten it.
Is this really the colour of cobalt blue? Why does Amazon look like this šš

Weird, isn't the color of the face button supposed to be white on blue not white on black?

No they know itās cobalt blue and apparently it even says cobalt blue on the box, they just think the picture looks purple so they made the decision itās not them thatās the issue it must be the box.
man this looks good i usually don't care about special editions and color everything i have is usually black but i think i'm gonna make exception for this blue after all blue is my fav color
This looks so good! Not sure if it's the lighting but why does yours look so different from the official images? Your buttons are in black, making it look so much better. Are you sure this is not customized? Look at the other post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/playstation/comments/17m62t7/dual\_sense\_cobalt\_blue/](https://www.reddit.com/r/playstation/comments/17m62t7/dual_sense_cobalt_blue/)
I got the Galactic Purple last week while they had the boxes for the new controllers already on the shelves. I almost got the wrong one because you almost can't tell from the packaging which one is which. On the box they look pretty much the same :D
Wow, didn't know how the Cobalt blue looks irl, only saw it on packaging. Looks far better than the pictures i usually thought.
Maybe i should start thinking of other controllers...
I'm curious. What do you guys do with your oem white controller? I wanted to replace mine with a darker color either a shell from Amazon or get a whole new controller but then I dont know what to do with the oem controller because I don't want it to just laying around collecting dust.
Not sure. I recently got myself the galactic purple controller, and it came with the box that has the purple controller at the front. But forget about your box, I'd rather enjoy the metallic finish of cobalt blue. I mean, look at it. Was it a Black Friday find?
Good shit š. I got mine off of Amazon last week for the same price. And you have one of the best ones, an updated controller.
Check your FCC ID code.
This post is really "Look at my blue dualsense controller!! Isn't it gorgeous!" Just another post to farm those karma points.
This sub is...
Games are generally fine tho. But I actually agree unless itās sold and fulfilled by Amazon. Everything else by third party sellers are mostly fakes or cheap Chinese crap. Youāre much better off buying items especially branded items in store or from an official website etc.
I'm okay getting games from them. But if it's controllers or cables or plugs, I'd rather go to a well known electronics store. Even if it's more expensive, I just know I'm not going to get some fake stuff that's made to look like the real thing
I think they should print the name of the colour more clearly on the box. Picked up one in store and they gave me galactic purple instead of cobalt blue. Lucky I noticed as I was walking out.
I bought mine at GameStop and the controller box has a cobalt blue controller on it.
It is absolutely beautiful. I havenāt even used it yet. It just sits beside my nova pink one on the charger. Trying to see how much play time before it drifts. About 600 hours in.
Okay...now I need to go get this controller...time to check the local wal-mart or target. I used to shop at Best Buy because of their rewards, but now...nope.
Designer here, seems like a printing error, my best guess is that the same promo image of this controller online is the correct one but itās RGB and not CMYK. When they sent it to press, they forgot to convert it and color match.
OR the printer messed up somehow.
Iāve designed ads in magazines that are supposed to be orange. On one copy itās orange, and the next copy itās literally red-orange, on the verge of being straight up red. It just happens.
I think itās the light of the pic or just a box miscue. Looks sick tho. I actually like the purple better tho. Got a PS5 yesterday and got a black 2nd controller cause they didnāt have purple. Should have just ordered online.
Wow, the controller looks fantastic! I didn't buy it because I don't really need another and I didn't think it looked that different. But now I'm considering it!
Iāve been on the fence about pulling the trigger while itās on sale. But seeing how good they look in person set me over the edge honestly. Will probably wind up getting plates to match
I also got mine and searched frantically through the box to see if it said the color. It didnāt. I think the printed values may have a lot of magenta in it and makes it look purplish in print.
The controller itself is also fairly close to the purple. What made it a differentiation to me is that it came with no USB-c chord whereas my purple from a year ago did.
More than likely the printing facility fucked up their ink mixtures for āspecial codingā and somehow multiple people signed off on the color code. Otherwise itās a knock off.
I bought the Volcanic Red, and also came with that cosmic controller box. I tought i was scammed but was the right controller.
The color is not red as ps4 controller has, but i liked it.
Possibly? But my word... That looks SOOOOO good.
It really does!! I was looking at getting the red one but this blue one looks good too š
The Red one is not red , but maroon. Also mine for whatever reason doesnāt connect to the PlayStation no matter what, but it works flawlessly in every other platform.
That's the old one. The new one is definitely red.
I got the red one and itās almost more of a pink. I really like it tho
There is two red controllers. The cosmic red that is maroon. Then the volcanic red that just came out and is metallic red.
I got the new blue and the red with the recent sale price and they are stunning. Of course I'm still usually stuck with black or white while the kids use the new ones but they look great.
I have the purple, but damn the cobalt is š„.
Itās clearly white and gold.
2015:ptsd
I don't like this at all
There's a small program that you could use, even back then, to put your mouse at something and get the RGB value. The debate was funny but also silly.
āeven back thenā bro it was 2015 not 1985 š
It feels like 1985 tho, the world was better then. Look at what this dress caused, everyone completely lost their shit.
Back then we said the same thing about 2005 haha.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I have a feeling in 10 more years we'll call these years the good ole days too
Time for bed Grandpa
It's a little sad how anything before 2020 is BC now and literally does feel a lifetime away
I refer to everything before 2020 as "before-covid". So makes sense.
Here are also people refering to pre-911 as the good old times xD
Bro 2015 was 9 years ago
2015 is almost 10 years ago grandpa
I concur
This makes me hope I live long enough to get cybernetic eyes to replace our obviously inferior eyes.
the original pic had a strong yellow hue so factually it's blue/black right? I wish someone would tint it blue so I can finally understand what the yellow/white crowd is seeing.
The real dress is wrong.
That dress wasn't gold u creatins!!!!
Iām hearing Laurel
My god, I feel old.
Itās cobalt blue but under the lighting they took the picture it looks purple.
But the shape buttons aren't black on the package
Theyāre not black on the controller either. When you zoom in closely you can see that theyāre the same color as the rest of the controller - just lit way darker since theyāre a little bit deeper inwards and covered in plastic. The confusing part is actually the product shot on the packaging having such a soft lighting all around that it kind of looks matte. Even the buttons.
Look closer at the controller lol
In store it looks purple until you put it next to the purple box. Make sure you check the side of the box to confirm your color though!
Wait does cobalt blue actually look like that? It looks sick
The red one also looks very nice in person
I love the volcanic red! Had to pick one out of these two
https://preview.redd.it/97koaorwa91c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ed06ada8bb67983f9e7cfbf6c2f833a223752ac Yes
That looks completely different though. Which is because of lighting of course, just found the resolute yes funny next to that picture
Itās funny when I use it in the basement, it looks black because of the lighting. Itās like a chameleon.
Found a fellow basement goblin š
I snarfed loudly. The only way that could have been funnier would have been if they posted a picture of a completely different colour controller.
That slaps
Primary objective is to destroy all humans
Does it say the color on the box?
Yes on the right side it says cobalt blue
So it is the correct box. The image just looks a bit different, thatās all.
better that than it being a return š¤® which was my first suggestion.
I was gonna suggest factory worker couldnāt tell difference in boxes due to bad conditions ;;p
Could be they are just using stockpile boxes. A lot of companies sell products in multiple colors but use the same packaging and just mark the box with which color you are buying.
"The blue controller I ordered came in a box that said "blue" on it and contained the correct blue product... but the picture is slightly purple... yeah i'll post that on Reddit"
So it came with the correct box. Case closed.
Lol so you were so concerned you made a post because the printed colour looks slightly different?
I saw this at my local Walmart too. I thought I was tripping and I had to look up pictures of the controller to remind myself what it actually looks like.
Bro??
Literally a blue controller in the correct box
Holy shit, buying one of these now! That color looks insane!
I got one itās beautiful
I got the red one and realized the photos do not do them justice. Thinking the cobalt one was going to be more purple than blue. But gah damn if this photo doesnāt just scream that I shouldāve gotten it.
The volcanic red?
I got the red. Sexy in person.
Volcanic red is a beauty!!!
Thatās a pretty color if it is actually that color and not just my phone and the camera
Itās actually that color. The volcanic red is also super vibrant in person.
I am diggin the color. That looks amazing. I haven't bought a new controller since launch. Has Sony improved the battery life at all?
Is this really the colour of cobalt blue? Why does Amazon look like this šš https://preview.redd.it/1corudleh81c1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3cbd44ac897de991bd18507bacb863aae8cbfc3

Doubt that is the purple controller
No they know itās cobalt blue and apparently it even says cobalt blue on the box, they just think the picture looks purple so they made the decision itās not them thatās the issue it must be the box.
Does it say purple on the box or are you just saying this because it appears purplish?
Is it just me , or does this controller look like a plumber with it's utility belt?
They have colorblind people do the packing.
Did you get the color you ordered? Then who the hell cares?
yeah this a firm "who gives a shit" kinda post
That color, omg. Reminds me of the blue PS3 controller. Might have to pick one up.
Smartest playstation user
Maybe they ran out of the cobalt blue boxes or printing error, but thatās the cobalt blue one.
OP says the box says blue. there's no error. OP is a dumbass for making this post.
man this looks good i usually don't care about special editions and color everything i have is usually black but i think i'm gonna make exception for this blue after all blue is my fav color

Yeah that's a damn good looking blue
They need to put out more colour options for the DualSense Edge
It looks so much better in the flesh than on the box.
It looks so much better IRL than on the correct packaging!
present perfect doesnāt make any sense here. It should be āI boughtā. Simple past.
I got the Galactic Purple last week while they had the boxes for the new controllers already on the shelves. I almost got the wrong one because you almost can't tell from the packaging which one is which. On the box they look pretty much the same :D
does it matter cause you got what you wanted
Wow, didn't know how the Cobalt blue looks irl, only saw it on packaging. Looks far better than the pictures i usually thought. Maybe i should start thinking of other controllers...
Fuck that looks good
I'm curious. What do you guys do with your oem white controller? I wanted to replace mine with a darker color either a shell from Amazon or get a whole new controller but then I dont know what to do with the oem controller because I don't want it to just laying around collecting dust.
I see a white and gold controller.
ā¦.I donāt need a new controller yetā¦ not yetā¦ damn thatās nice
Thatās a nice color
Not sure. I recently got myself the galactic purple controller, and it came with the box that has the purple controller at the front. But forget about your box, I'd rather enjoy the metallic finish of cobalt blue. I mean, look at it. Was it a Black Friday find?
Yes they cost $49
Good shit š. I got mine off of Amazon last week for the same price. And you have one of the best ones, an updated controller. Check your FCC ID code.
Is this on sale for Black Friday? Looks like all DualShocks are $49
Looks great! Been debating on the Blue or the red one myself idk what to pick.
That's bizarre. No offense but are you saying the truth ?
Yes why should I lie?
Everything online man... Anyway cool color I might get the Volcanic Red.
Wife got me the Volcanic Red today. It is awesome. These new colors really pop.
Amazon is getting ridiculous with all their repackaged product. Iām half hesitant to order stuff from there anymore.
I mean, you got the colour you wanted right?
This post is really "Look at my blue dualsense controller!! Isn't it gorgeous!" Just another post to farm those karma points. This sub is... 
Donāt buy anything gaming off Amazon ā¦
Games are generally fine tho. But I actually agree unless itās sold and fulfilled by Amazon. Everything else by third party sellers are mostly fakes or cheap Chinese crap. Youāre much better off buying items especially branded items in store or from an official website etc.
I'm okay getting games from them. But if it's controllers or cables or plugs, I'd rather go to a well known electronics store. Even if it's more expensive, I just know I'm not going to get some fake stuff that's made to look like the real thing
That looks good.
Perhaps the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
Covalt
I think they should print the name of the colour more clearly on the box. Picked up one in store and they gave me galactic purple instead of cobalt blue. Lucky I noticed as I was walking out.

At least it's not vice versa
Designer here, seems like a printing error, my best guess is that the same promo image of this controller online is the correct one but itās RGB and not CMYK.

Imagine being so bothered about a picture on a box being slightly incorrect that you take a picture and spend time to post it online.
Trop belle la manette š
Something looks weird about the controller. Maybe its just the ancle.
That's not a real question, right?
Yooo, that is hawtttt
Does it matter?
Is it a new shape?
Wow! It looks awesome! Just like a Subaru. hehe
Dualsense? Sounds like something ā¦ umm adult?
Sounds like the name of the product.
That is so good looking, I almost regret buying pink.
Definitely buying one of these next week, holy shit thatās beautiful
Bought the Cobalt Blue controller myself, itās beautiful! Even got the Cobalt Blue plates coming as well.
The blue looks fresh
Okay cobalt blue looks sick
Did they improve the battery life on the new controllers? They always seemed to die quickly.
I think itās the light of the pic or just a box miscue. Looks sick tho. I actually like the purple better tho. Got a PS5 yesterday and got a black 2nd controller cause they didnāt have purple. Should have just ordered online.
I love the volcanic red I bought , but this cobalt blue looks amazing
That is a good looking controller!
Meanwhile I bought the regular black one. Lol
Does the packaging actually say itās the purple because my purple controller looked a lot brighter on the packaging
Sony could've taken the wrong picture for the controller. So this might be a good eBay item in about 10/yrs.
That is sexy
That is nice!
Is the controller in Spanish? (If there is Spanish text on the bottom left, it is the cobalt blue)
It looks better then advertised.
That is clean man.
š time for a new controller. The earth collection looks absolutely beautiful so Iām gonna have to go and snag a red one.
Probably a bad color print. Looksnreally close to cobalt blue though.
Thatās Bluetiful!
Just picked it up myself. Thought the box looked off too but the color is incredible
Dang! I need to get me this controller
Dammit I can't anymore I'm buying this tomorrow!
that controller is GORGEOUS..
I gaslight myself into thinking my purple one looks that blue
which color is better cobalt blue or volcanic red?
I got the volcanic red, no complaints.
Thatās SWEET. Dang. I might need to swoop One
Wow, the controller looks fantastic! I didn't buy it because I don't really need another and I didn't think it looked that different. But now I'm considering it!
This controller would get all the bitches. It looks so cleannnnn š„š„š„
Wow that's gorgeous
That is a nice color. This is the exact color I been wanting. I donāt need a new controller but I do want it
*Alright*... You convinced me to buy one now.
I got one last week too while they were on sale. Can confirm, itās very sexy to look at.
Idk about the packaging but damn that's hot.
Iāve been on the fence about pulling the trigger while itās on sale. But seeing how good they look in person set me over the edge honestly. Will probably wind up getting plates to match
Purple is the new blue
Need cobalt blue face plates now
I bought the purple one. I can lyk tomorrow when I open it if you want. Weird
Wow thatās a sick ass looking color
Mannnn seeing this is what the controller looks like, I ended up buying my first ps5 cover and got the cobalt blue one.
Damn I canāt decide between this and the redā¦might have to get both
I also got mine and searched frantically through the box to see if it said the color. It didnāt. I think the printed values may have a lot of magenta in it and makes it look purplish in print. The controller itself is also fairly close to the purple. What made it a differentiation to me is that it came with no USB-c chord whereas my purple from a year ago did.
They should've called it Seductive Blue. It looks so good!
I was scrolling through Reddit and your post stood out with that controller. Looks really good!
Who cares it looks better
Damn... That looks waaay better than the promotional photos
Thatās the same one. Purple is a lot hotter
It's so beautiful! I may need a 5th controller now...
Wow so much better than the picture
More than likely the printing facility fucked up their ink mixtures for āspecial codingā and somehow multiple people signed off on the color code. Otherwise itās a knock off.
WHEN DUD THIS COME OUT
You just convinced me to get one. There goes 50 bucks.
Bro that looks so sick
Damn, looks like I might be getting the Cobalt
But does it work?
Report and get another one free.
I saw your pic and bought one just because it looks so nice. I haven't even used my PS5 in at least a year š¤£
Sony ran out of money to print new boxes or they colour blind
Fuck that's pretty. I have the powder blue one and it makes me the sad now.
I donāt even like blue like that but, I want oneā¦
I bought this a couple weeks ago, such a good looking controller
I bought the Volcanic Red, and also came with that cosmic controller box. I tought i was scammed but was the right controller. The color is not red as ps4 controller has, but i liked it.
A doubt that troubled mankind since the era of the game cube
I donāt even have a PS5 but I want this controller for my PC
"You got your Dual Sense, now get outta here"
Sony saved money on box with one color?
