Sony‘s DualSense controller is attracting a lot of interest among third-party peripheral manufacturers, according to Immersion Corp., the company behind the haptic feedback technology featuring in the PS5 controller.
Speaking during the company’s recent investor call, Jared Smith, Immersion Corp’s Interim CEO, was quizzed if other manufacturers would likely utilise the company’s haptic technology license. In response, Smith commented:
I can’t comment on specific engagements, but we’re talking to a number of other players in that market. We did announce our collaboration with StrikerVR, which is a company that makes accessory technology that’s going to utilize our trigger technology.
And we have those discussions ongoing with others in terms of what their shipment plans would be in terms of when they can — whether they would intersect the holiday season, I can’t comment on, but the DualSense controller is certainly sparking a lot of interest among third-party peripheral manufacturers. I just don’t have a comment on timing of when that might hit.

In addition to haptic feedback, the DualSense controller also includes adaptive triggers, which can simulate the feeling of pulling back on a bow or pulling the trigger on a weighty firearm, for example.
