A new DualSense patent published today gives us a glimpse at the internals of the PS5 controller. While the patent itself focuses on the microphone array specifically, it still gives a glimpse at the DualSense as a whole. The abstract says:

Many input devices used for game operations have a plurality of operation members such as an operation stick, a push button, a cross key (direction key), and a trigger button. Patent Document 1 discloses an input device having such an operation member and having a voice input function. This input device has a microphone array composed of a plurality of microphones. In Patent Document 1, adaptive beamforming processing is executed for a user?s uttered voice by using voice data obtained from a plurality of microphones.
The patent was discovered by ZubyWHUPS on Twitter, and contains a number of images showing the internal construction to allow for mounting of the microphone array, as well as diagrams of the inputs on the outside, including a headphone input (which was confirmed shortly after the DualSense reveal after people feared it wouldn?t have one).
