To be clear, Project Leonardo is a codename — the actual controller, which is being designed for the PlayStation 5 console, will ship with a different name, though we don’t yet know what that’ll be. What we do know is that Sony is pressing forward with a highly customizable design in mind, noting as part of its announcement that the product will be usable out of the box and with third-party accessories.
The design, which is circular in nature based on the images Sony has shared thus far, presents some expected design elements: the small buttons clustered together on the regular controller have been transformed into large buttons spread around in a ring formation, the joysticks now exist as two separate components so that they can be placed farther apart, and there’s the option of a large knob design for the joysticks that may be easier for some gamers to grasp.
According to Sony, the Project Leonardo controller will be shipped as a kit that includes the various elements users need for customizing the setup. On the software side of things, the Leonardo and PS5 combo will allow users to remap the buttons and save controller profiles. The controller will be usable in arrangement with the DualSense for different types of gameplay and needs, and there’s a 3.5mm audio jack for using a headset. Other details, including price and availability, aren’t yet available, as Sony says the project is still underway and the controller is still being developed.
