A Guide to the Best Green PS5 Controllers in 2026: Official and and Custom Options Compared

The best green PS5 controllers in 2026 have yet to arrive. At least, if we’re talking about official DualSense releases by Sony.

Sony is releasing the Hyperpop Remix Green DualSense on March 12, 2026. It joins the Chroma Teal that launched in January 2025 and the older Sage Green that’s been around since 2022. In total, Sonly has released three official green variants in the space of a few years, which tells you that people want green controllers.

The catch? Every one of Sony’s green PS5 controllers uses the same standard DualSense internals. Same ALPS potentiometer sticks that drift. Same analogue triggers. No back buttons. No customisation beyond the colour Sony chose for you. You’re picking a shade of green, not building a controller.

If you want green and performance, a customisable PS5 controller is the only path. The good news? TCP’s Chrome Green custom builds start in the same price range as Sony’s fancier limited editions.

Here’s every green PS5 controller available in 2026, what each one offers, and which one is actually worth your money.

Every Green PS5 Controller Available in 2026

Sony Hyperpop Remix Green (Launching March 12, 2026)

Price: £74.99 / $84.99

Finish: Glossy black-to-neon-green gradient. High-gloss throughout. The design fades from deep black at the top into a vivid neon green towards the bottom, inspired by RGB lighting.

Internals: Standard DualSense. ALPS potentiometer sticks, analogue triggers, haptic feedback, adaptive triggers. No modifications.

Availability: Pre-orders live now at PlayStation Direct and participating retailers, including Amazon. Launches March 12.

The Remix Green is the boldest green Sony has ever put on a DualSense. The gradient effect is genuinely eye-catching and the glossy finish gives it a premium feel in hand. It also comes with a matching PS5 Slim console cover at £64.99 for a coordinated setup.

The limitation is the same as every Sony special edition: it’s cosmetic only. You’re paying £10 more than the standard DualSense (£64.99) for the colour. The internals are identical.

Sony Chroma Teal (Available Now)

Price: £69.99 / $79.99

Finish: Iridescent green/teal that shifts colour depending on the angle and lighting. Part of Sony’s Chroma Collection alongside Chroma Indigo and Chroma Pearl. Subtle, layered, and elegant.

Internals: Standard DualSense. Same as above.

Availability: Widely available at PlayStation Direct, Amazon, Argos, Currys, and most major retailers.

The Chroma Teal sits between green and teal, shifting between the two depending on the light. It’s the most understated green option Sony offers and arguably the most sophisticated looking. If you want a green PS5 controller that doesn’t scream for attention, this is the one.

At £69.99, it’s also the most affordable green option from Sony right now (excluding the discontinued Sage Green, if you can still find it in stock).

Sony Sage Green (Discontinued, Limited Stock)

Price: £64.99 RRP (may vary at remaining retailers)

Finish: Matte, muted sage green. Earthy and subtle. Part of Sony’s original colour expansion alongside Galactic Purple and Starlight Blue.

Internals: Standard DualSense.

Availability: Discontinued by Sony. May still be available through third-party sellers or remaining retail stock. Check Amazon and specialist gaming retailers.

Sage Green was the first green DualSense and remains one of the most requested. The matte finish and muted tone made it a favourite for players who wanted something subtle. If you can find one at RRP, it’s the cheapest entry into green PS5 controllers. But stock is increasingly hard to come by.

TCP Chrome Green Custom PS5 Controller (Available Now)

Price: £65 (design only) to £190+ (fully modded with TMR sticks)

Finish: Your choice.

Internals: Your choice. Start with a genuine Sony DualSense and add any combination of ClickSticks, digital triggers, Hall Effect or TMR drift-proof joysticks, IAS interchangeable thumbstick system, individual D-pad, high-grade grip, and vibration removal.

Availability: Build to order. Always available. No limited drops, no sellouts. Build a green custom PS5 controller here.

This is the only green PS5 controller on this list where you choose both the look and the performance. Chrome Green is a full-metallic finish that reflects light differently from Sony’s matte or gradient options. It’s louder, more reflective, and pairs well with either black or green buttons, depending on how bold you want to go.

More importantly, it’s the only green controller that can be equipped with drift-proof sticks, back buttons, and instant triggers.

TCP Custom Builds in Green Colourways

Beyond Chrome Green, TCP’s custom PS5 controller builder offers multiple green and green-adjacent shell options that can be paired with any button, touchpad, and back shell colour. Matte green, dark green, and Chrome Green are all configurable. You can also mix green shells with gold, black, or white accents to create combinations Sony will never offer.

Sony’s green controllers cover the aesthetic side well, with three distinct finishes ranging from muted to bold. But every Sony option shares the same internal limitation: standard DualSense hardware with no performance modifications.

TCP’s Chrome Green custom builds are the only green PS5 controllers on the market with ClickSticks, digital triggers, drift-proof stick options, and swappable thumbstick heights. If the table above doesn’t make it clear enough, we’ve covered the broader stock-vs-custom argument in our DualSense vs custom PS5 controllers comparison.

Why Custom Green Beats Official Green

The value argument comes down to three things: longevity, performance, and personalisation.

Longevity. Every Sony green DualSense uses ALPS potentiometer sticks. These are contact-based sensors with a documented wear curve. Regular players can expect stick drift within 12 to 18 months. A TCP Chrome Green build with TMR sticks uses magnetic sensing with zero contact surfaces. No friction, no wear, no drift. Over the life of your PS5, the custom controller is the one you won’t have to replace.

Performance. ClickSticks keep your thumbs on the analogue sticks during jump, slide, and melee inputs. Digital triggers cut 70-120ms of travel from every shot. The IAS system lets you swap stick heights in two seconds, depending on whether you’re playing a shooter or an RPG. None of Sony’s green controllers offer any of this. For a deeper dive into what each mod does and when it matters, our guide to whether a custom PS5 controller is worth it covers the full breakdown.

Personalisation. Sony picks the green. You buy the green they chose. With TCP, you choose the exact shade of green, the button colours, the touchpad colour, the back shell colour, and every performance mod. Your Chrome Green build will look different from every other Chrome Green build because you designed it.

The pricing overlap is what makes this argument especially compelling. Sony’s Remix Green Hyperpop costs £74.99 for a standard DualSense in a glossy green shell. A TCP Chrome Green design-only build starts at £65. For £70 more than the Hyperpop, you can have a fully modded TCP Pro with ClickSticks, digital triggers, IAS, and your choice of green shell, buttons, and accents.

Best Green Custom Build Recommendations

Three builds, three budgets. Each uses TCP’s Chrome Green shell as the base.

The Budget Green (£65–£95)

Shell: Chrome Green

Buttons: Black or white

Mods: None (design only)

Best for: Players who want a green controller that stands out from Sony’s options without spending more. Chrome Green’s metallic finish is a different league from Chroma Teal’s iridescence or Sage Green’s matte finish. If aesthetics are the priority, this is the play.

The Competitive Green (£135–£145)

Shell: Chrome Green

Buttons: Gold or Chrome

Mods: ClickSticks + Digital Triggers + IAS

Best for: FPS and action game players who want the green aesthetic with genuine competitive advantages. ClickSticks for unbroken aim, digital triggers for instant fire, and IAS for tuning stick height per game. This is the sweet spot where looks and performance meet.

The Ultimate Green (£175–£195)

Shell: Chrome Green

Buttons: Black with Chrome Green back shell

Mods: ClickSticks + Digital Triggers + TMR Joysticks + IAS + Individual D-pad + High-Grade Grip + Vibration Removal

Best for: Players who want the definitive green PS5 controller. Drift-proof TMR sticks with a 1-year warranty, every performance mod TCP offers, and a weight of just 171g with vibration removed. At £190, this costs £115 more than the Remix Green Hyperpop, but it’s fundamentally different. One is a green shell on a standard controller. The other is a purpose-built performance instrument that happens to be green.

All three builds are available right now through TCP’s green custom PS5 controller options. No waiting for March 12. No worrying about limited stock.

Pre-Order and Availability Guide

Here’s when and where you can get each green PS5 controller.

Sony Hyperpop Remix Green: Pre-orders live now at PlayStation Direct, Amazon, and participating retailers. Launches March 12, 2026. £74.99 / $84.99. Matching PS5 Slim console cover available at £64.99 (PS Direct exclusive, limited quantities).

Sony Chroma Teal: Available now at PlayStation Direct, Amazon, Argos, Currys, Very, and most major retailers. £69.99 / $79.99. Matching PS5 Slim console cover at £54.99.

Sony Sage Green: Discontinued. Check Amazon, eBay, and specialist gaming retailers for remaining stock. Expect prices above the original £64.99 RRP.

TCP Chrome Green Custom: Always available. Build-to-order from TCP’s London studio. 3 to 5 business day build time. Free UK shipping. Free worldwide shipping on orders over £120. 14-day money-back guarantee. No limited editions means no sellouts, and TCP’s custom PS5 controllers can be built in Chrome Green year-round.

The difference in availability models is worth noting. Sony’s limited editions come and go. The Sage Green is already gone. The Chroma Teal will eventually be discontinued. The Remix Green Hyperpop will sell through its initial run, and when it’s gone, it’s gone. TCP’s build-to-order model means Chrome Green is a permanent option. If you’re reading this six months from now, you can still build one.

Green PS5 controllers have never had more options than they do right now. Sony is delivering the colour variety that players have been asking for, and the Remix Green Hyperpop is genuinely one of the best-looking DualSense designs to date.

But colour is only half the story. If you want a green PS5 controller that plays as good as it looks, lasts longer than 18 months without drifting, and reflects your personal taste rather than Sony’s marketing calendar, a custom build is the smarter investment.

So, what are you waiting for?
