your controller could be charged wirelessly


Sony, before the imminent launch of the PS5 in the last quarter of this year, keep filing patents that could be related to your next-gen console. The most interesting thing, however, is that the vast majority of records have to do with command. The Japanese entity has already revealed some characteristics of the Dualshock 5, as their haptic motor or adjustable triggers, but they would not be the only news.

Recently Sony patented

a accessory which, once coupled to the controller through its lower ports, would offer support for one of the most popular technologies today: wireless charging. However, the adapter would not be compatible with wireless chargers of smartphones, as the patent shows a special charging station to place the control. The latter would be connected to the power or to the USB port of the console.

One of the most interesting aspects of the adapter is that, in addition to adding support for wireless charging, also integrates three additional buttons, although it is unknown if they can be reprogrammed. This makes us think that the accessory does not interfere negatively with ergonomics, so it would not be necessary to disconnect it when the battery is at 100%. This would be liked by many players, mainly those who enjoy competitive games.

Of course, the registration of a patent doesn't mean that at some point it will see the light. Companies protect their ideas all the time but they don't always become commercial products. Despite the above, it is curious that Sony continues to experiment with accessories that connect to your remote. Just in January, they released the Back Button Attachment, which adds two programmable buttons to the rear of the Dualshock 4; it is the company's first approach to professional controls.

Due to Sony's secrecy, too much speculation has arisen in recent months surrounding the launch of the PlayStation 5. Bloomberg reported that the company had trouble setting the price of hardware due to a shortage of some components; its manufacturing cost would have skyrocketed to $ 450. Of course, from Japan calm the waters saying that the PS5 announcement schedule is not suffering setbacks.
