Hello everyone it's SpawnPoiint and welcome back to another video and today we're unboxing the two
new PlayStation 5 controllers from Sony so we've got the Midnight Black and we've got the Cosmic
Red now what I'll do is i'll get both of these unboxed we'll take a closer look and i'll give you
my first impressions and then what i'm actually going to do is i'm going to compare these to the
standard white one as well as the matte black controller i got from ColorWare a few months ago
okay and here they are so these are the normal retail boxes that they come in so it's the same
packaging as the white controller if you've ever purchased one of those it's just the image of the
controllers on the front that are different okay so first up let's take a look at the cosmic red
dual sense now i really wanted to check this one out as i've already got a matte black controller
so this is something totally different plus the pictures online it didn't really look red so i
wanted to check out for myself wow this is nice so it's called the cosmic red but i would say it's
more of a kind of like a deep pink or even maybe a magenta red i do like it and the contrast here
against the black actually looks pretty nice now this color is really flat looking but it's still
nice but it's very very flat so the touch pad and the body are red and then the bottom part
here well this is removable so some people have customized this themself but this bit is obviously
black now it looks exactly the same as the normal white controller it's kind of black but it's not
jet black but this looks really nice it kind of reminds me of the berry blue controller that i
used to have on the playstation 4. obviously it's not the same color but that kind of color pop that
you get with this then around the back we've got the normal markings you would expect to see on the
controllers you've got the Sony logo and some of the other details here this looks really nice and
actually you know what i think this controller will probably look cleaner most of the time as
compared to the white one which looks pretty bad when dirty around the front i like the transparent
buttons that we've got so we're not losing any details here at all you can see here you've got
the markings next to the menu button and so on it's really subtle but it's really really nice and
as this is the official controller we've still got those very tiny little icons on the body so if you
look really really closely if you didn't know this already you can actually see the playstation icons
all over the body and it gives it that kind of extra grip as well when you're holding it but yeah
this red is definitely not as red as you would expect and here it is compared to the xbox series
x controller this is the pulse red controller they can clearly see here that the xbox controller
looks really red when compared side by side in fact it actually makes the dual sensor controller
look quite pink here it still looks awesome but it's definitely not as red as i was expecting
and now let's take a look at the midnight black controller okay so this is nice now
i've said this before in some previous videos but this is how the dual center controller
should have launched i know it's a little bit boring but you can't really go wrong with a
black controller like this this is definitely going to be the underrated choice to go for
it looks so nice it's got kind of like a real minimal look to it so the body and the touch
pad is the matte black color it's almost like a very dark blue actually when you look at this
but the bottom part here again very similar to the white controller as well as the cosmic red
it's black but it's definitely not jet black this part here would have definitely been a lot nicer
if it was the same color as the body or if it's the same color all over the rear again has the
same markings and the logos as you would expect and again if you look really really closely you
can see those tiny little icons on the body giving that extra grip as well one thing to note though
is this will show up fingerprints and greasy marks really really easily so it will hide dirt but it
will definitely show these fingerprints up i mean i've had to rub this down about three or
four times already today so i mentioned that i've actually had a colorware controller for about four
months now and i customized it in matte black i actually did a video about it on my channel but
how does this compare to the new sony controller well side by side they are kind of similar i mean
they are both very clearly black but there are some differences the first one being i actually
think i prefer the color wear for the actual matte black finish the actual the actual color
of the controller but the midnight black for the extra details that you can see so whether that's
on the buttons or around the back you obviously don't get that on the colorway now the midnight
black one definitely looks more of a kind of like a dark blue especially when compared side by side
with the matte black one but what do you think i mean it's very close they look very very similar
and it's only when i compared them side by side did i really notice the color difference i think
overall the sony controller definitely looks nicer especially with those extra details so if you're
looking for a matte black controller i would just buy the official one but having said that
there are two big issues with the colorway one in fact there are three issues the first one is that
we lose the printed text on the body as colorway just spray over them so there's no sony logo and
there's no menu icons at the top the second is the primer and the paint is so thick that
actually covers up all those tiny little icons on the body so if you look really really closely
there's no icons here at all this also makes the controller feel quite slippy in the hand
especially when compared to the official one and lastly is the price so i paid 155 dollars for
this one or about 110 pounds well that's double the price of an official controller so if you're
looking for a matte black controller i would just buy the official one but if you're looking for a
fully custom controller that you know sony won't make maybe a different color combination color is
very hard to beat and here are all the colors together so we've got the white we've got the
cosmic red we've got the midnight black and then we've got the matte black one that i've got from
colorware what an awesome lineup of colors now looking at these now i really like this red one
i think it stands out against the others i think it's got a nice colour pop as well do you have a
favorite looking at these now which would you pick which one out of these would you actually go for
i think i'd pick the black one for that nice clean look but to be honest yep the red really works for
me so as for the price of these well the white and the midnight black are both 70 or 60 pounds
and the cosmic red is 75 or 65 pounds so you're paying a very slight premium for that new cosmic
red but that was the same on the PlayStation 4. so i'm not sure if you would have ever picked
up any of the limited edition controllers on that and they were always a little bit more expensive
but i really like these two new colors i think they're awesome it's nice to see the two new
colors already added to the lineup and hopefully we'll see more in the future and what do you
think to them do you have a favorite or will you be picking up one of these two new colors
so that's it that's a very quick look at the two new controllers from playstation so you've just
made it to the end of today's video so thank you for watching if you drop your favorite dual sense
