PlayStation DualSense Wireless Controller – Volcanic Red (Deep Earth Collection), Metallic Finish, Haptic Feedback, Adaptive Triggers, PS5/PC

The DualSense Volcanic Red is the PS5 wireless controller in a metallic red finish from Sony’s Deep Earth Collection, alongside Cobalt Blue and Sterling Silver. PlayStation announced the collection in September 2023 and released Volcanic Red on 3 November 2023, describing it as a rich, blazing red tone with a metallic finish. Underneath the colour it is the standard DualSense (model CFI-ZCT1W), with haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, a built-in microphone and a 3.5 mm headset jack.

A metallic red finish

Most DualSense colours are matte; the Deep Earth Collection adds a smooth metallic sheen, so the DualSense Volcanic Red catches the light and looks deeper red at an angle. Sony designed matching PS5 console covers in the same colour, so it pairs naturally with a red console or sits as a bold second controller next to a white one. The black face buttons, sticks and touch pad keep the standard DualSense layout.

Haptic feedback and adaptive triggers

Instead of traditional rumble motors, dual actuators produce haptic feedback that can mimic footsteps, rain or surfaces in supported games. The L2 and R2 adaptive triggers add varying resistance, for example the tension of a bowstring or the brake of a car. Sony notes that these features depend on the game, and on PC haptic feedback needs a USB connection.

Using it beyond the PS5

According to PlayStation support, the DualSense pairs over Bluetooth or USB with Windows 10 and 11 PCs, Macs on macOS 11.3 or later, iPhone and iPad on iOS 14.5 or later and Android 12 or later. Some features are limited there: adaptive triggers do not work on Android, haptic feedback needs USB on PC and is not available on Mac or mobile, and the microphone works only on Windows PC.

What is in the box

The box contains the DualSense Volcanic Red controller and a user manual. Sony does not include a cable; you charge and connect it with the USB-C cable that comes with the PS5 console, or any USB-C cable. The controller has a built-in 1,560 mAh lithium-ion battery.

Who This Is Not For

If you want back paddles, swappable sticks or trigger stops, the DualSense Edge is the controller for that. On phones, the adaptive triggers and haptics are limited, so a mobile-first gamer may prefer a dedicated mobile controller. Sony does not publish battery life in hours, and there is no cable in the box. And metallic finishes show fingerprints more than matte ones, so expect to wipe it now and then.
