The PlayStation 2's DualShock 2 [[game controller|controller]] is largely identical to the PlayStation's [[DualShock]], with the same basic functionality. However, it includes [[analog signal|analog]] pressure sensitivity on the face, shoulder and D-pad buttons, replacing the [[Digital data|digital]] buttons of the original. (These buttons would later become digital again with the release of the [[DualShock 4]].) Like its predecessor, the DualShock 2 controller has [[Haptic technology#Computer and video games|force feedback]], or "vibration" functionality. It is lighter and includes two more levels of [[oscillation|vibration]]. | The PlayStation 2's DualShock 2 [[game controller|controller]] is largely identical to the PlayStation's [[DualShock]], with the same basic functionality.
