One of the worst changes Sony ever made. Mostly for in-game UI purposes honestly, I always clicked off of the color first instead of recognizing the shape.
You could’ve kept the back of the buttons white and still made the symbols colored. Wouldn’t have hurt the aesthetic at all.

Yes, I hope they bring them back for the PS6. It’s a minor thing but I think its iconic
I wouldn’t day outright awful but definitely bad. The colors help further identify buttons so that you know for sure what button needs to be pressed. It just helps with the muscle memory.
It was literally the first thing I noticed when I unboxed my console for the first time, I honestly thought It was a defect at first til I looked on the box…
Not me in 2026 just now noticing that the buttons are no longer colored…………😑
Didn’t notice and didn’t know there was a stance one way or the other
I had no idea they did until I read your title. I’ve had my PS5 for about 5 years too. 🤷🏼♀️
Its iconic. Doesn’t help that it looks much better with the color.
I just realized I haven’t looked at the buttons on a PS controller in like 25 years. I’ve had every generation since the first and just now noticed that the buttons on the DualSense don’t have color. With my muscle memory, I don’t care at all, but if I were just getting into gaming, it might be a little annoying.
White looks cleaner and less toyish
The logo and the buttons are monochrome now.
I’m tired of everything being white or black with an accent color. Bring back atomic purple consoles
People think this was a good decision?!
Nah, dual sense buttons remind me of the PSP, my favorite Sony console. They look modern but frutiger enough with the clear plastic
This is a shit meme. For the movie and the scene from the movie loo
