The PS5’s DualSense controller is available in three colors – the default white that comes with the console and the new Midnight Black and Cosmic Red color variants that were announced last month. The controller is priced at US$ 69.99 (US$ 74.99 for the red variant). However, if you want a controller that offers more in terms of features, then the Hex Rival from HexGaming might be the controller for you, as long as you are ready to pay four times what you will pay for the DualSense controller.
The Hex Rival looks a lot like the DualSense and that is because the custom controller is built using the DualSense. On the front, the differences are the paint job, the lack of markings on the buttons, and the HexGaming button which replaces the PlayStation button. On the rear is where the Hex Rival differs as it has mappable buttons on the rear. These buttons are remappable and users can assign up to 15 buttons to the two rear buttons.
The gamepad also features interchangeable thumbsticks, comes with six in total (3 pairs) of different heights, and with 2 different ergonomic thumb grip designs (domed or concave). The Hex Rival is priced at US$ 289.99 which is more than four times the price of the DualSense. Considering the gamepad is targeted at eSports players, you may not need it to enjoy your PS5 games.
HexGaming is offering the Rival controller in 18 different colors and is already available for purchase on its website.
