Sony Official PlayStation 2 DualShock 2 Controller (PS2)

Product Information

The DualShock (originally Dual Shock, trademarked as DUALSHOCK or DUAL SHOCK, PlayStation 5 version named DualSense) is a line of gamepads developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation family of video game consoles.

Yeah, but what differs are the PCBs revisions, chip revisions, manufacturers among many other things, it's what is inside that greatly differs, SCPH-10010 is just a way to mean "Dualshock 2". Also do the "launch controllers" that you mention have that metallic cavity in the middle of the inner side of the connector? I purchased them because I have had both my original controllers go out after they were sitting up for a few years without use.

If you would take a look at the pictures of the boards I posted, you can clearly see this to not be the case, Sony kept changing the insides the boards, a Made in China Manfactured by "A" from 2000 are quite different from the boards of the Made in China Manufactured by "A" from 2010, it does make sense that the japanese launch controllers would have a few internal differences compared to the US launch controllers due to the difference of release dates between Japan and the US. The controller supports motion detection via a three-axis gyroscope and three-axis accelerometer and vibration.

The launch PCBs seems kinda messy and not ass efficient compared to the PCBs from revisions 3 and onward. That's why the management department didn't want the controller to be a radical departure -- they said it had to be a standard type of design, or gamers wouldn't accept it. The PlayStation 2 would be released in 2000, and the original DualShock would be compatible with most games except for those that needed the DualShock 2's analog buttons.It also includes a mono speaker, like the Wii Remote, and is the second major controller in video game history to have such feature. This diagram of the DualShock 4 controller from the back left shows the light bar (blue) used for player identification, micro USB port, the touch pad, SHARE and OPTIONS buttons, and the other controls.
