2 new features will be available in PS5 controller. The controllers currently use rumble technology which will be replaced by haptic feedback. The haptic technology will let you truly feel a wider range of feedback so crashing into a wall while driving a vehicle will feel different than making a tackle on the football field. Also the console will allow you to get a sense for a variety of textures when you are running through grass fields or plodding through mud.

The 2nd big change is using adaptive triggers, which can be used on the trigger buttons (L2 / R2). The resistance of the triggers can be programmed. For example, you can feel the sense of touch of drawing a bow & arrow.

Developers can setup the resistance of the L2 / R2 triggers so that you can feel the tactile sensation of drawing a bow & arrow or accelerating an off-road vehicle through rocky land.
