Although I think Sony will stick with the regular design for the next-gen Playstation 4 controller I thought I’d still show this concept controller called Project Cobra.
The Cobra was designed by Jiang Qian and looks a little different from the usual PS4 controller shape we commonly see. The controller has a d-pad to the left, 4 buttons to the right along with 2 analogue sticks and a number of function buttons in between the mentioned buttons. 2 left and 2 right shoulder buttons can also be found. One of the unique features (although unconfirmed) is that the whole controller seems to be vented through out on both sides which looks to take in air from the top to keep your hands cool while holding it.
What are your thoughts on the Cobra? Should Sony look in to different designs or should we carry on using the regular controller with a few tweaks like we have in the past.

My only concern with some of these ‘concept’ designs is strength. Making the controller hollow with a fan is adding moving parts and reducing strength to an object which is subject to quite a bit of physical hammering. I know when I get annoyed at games i’ve resorted to throwing the controller, and I just don’t think these designs would withstand my rage!
the Project Cobra looks amazing with the lights, and the vents are a great idea, this should be the controller for the PS4, which should match the controller, white with blue neon lights, that would be jaw dropping!
IT IS REALLY GOOD AND THAT MYST BE THE NEXT GENERATION CONTLOLERGOOD WORG FELLOWS
Wrong guys…The controller will remain exatly the same, just with new features. Just as it happens for 3 generations now
Do you work for Sony?
Not this again… you’d think they’d learn by almost releasing a bowling bawl then boomerang last time around.
