The PlayStation VR2 Sense Controllers are a pair of game controllers released by Sony on February 22, 2023. They were released alongside the PlayStation VR2 headset.
Unlike its predecessor, the second-generation controllers has IR tracking ring (which can be tracked using PS VR2's tracking cameras) which wrap around the user's wrists. Each side of controllers have capacitive face buttons, joystick, trigger and grip button. Just like the DualSense, they have resistance-based adaptive triggers and audio-based haptics feedback via voice-coil actuators.
The VR2 Sense controllers can be connected to PC via Bluetooth, but to be used in conjunction with the PS VR2 headset, both the PlayStation VR2 app and SteamVR must be installed. Do note that both adaptive triggers and haptics feedback are not available to be used on PC. Do note that controllers can only be connected to the PC with the Realtek-based Bluetooth USB dongle attached, with Sony provided a list of Bluetooth USB dongles that were tested to be working with the controllers and the PS VR2 app.[1]
