These haptic effects can produce a far wider range of physical sensations, from gentle pulsing centered in a specific part of the controller, to more robust physical effects.”
5. What about accessibility options?
   The DualSense will allow players to modify the intensity of the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback. Re-mapping of buttons is also available. Voice dictation with the aid of the DualSense microphone will make controlling these options a lot easier.
