Sony brought out the DualShock in Japan in November 1997, and it reached North America in 1998. The name comes from its two vibration motors, the left one bigger and stronger than the right. Its sticks got textured rubber grips with domed caps, where the Dual Analog before it had smooth plastic tips with concave grooves. That Dual Analog had sold outside Japan with its rumble removed, so in the US the DualShock was Sony's first pad with vibration. From 1998 Sony bundled it with the console as the standard controller, which is why so many turn up in console lots. An Analog button switches between modes and lights a red LED in analog. Sony kept the DualShock name on its controllers through the PS4.
Before you plug it in
These pads are decades old, so test the parts that move. Both sticks, both rumble motors and the Analog button's red light all need to work.

Buying guide
We'd buy the gray SCPH-1200 titled cleaned and tested at $26 delivered, the standard DualShock right at the median. There are at least 186 for sale and most ask $20 to $35 delivered, so there's no reason to pay more for a gray, black or white pad; clear shells ask a little more. Zoom in on the back label for SCPH-1200 (or SCPH-110 on the white PS one pad) and look for rubber-topped domed sticks, since the earlier Dual Analog has smooth concave tips. Ask the seller to confirm the red Analog light comes on and both rumble motors work. Skip the gray SCPH-1200 title three accounts share, and the black pad titled SCPH-110, a pad the catalog lists as white.
$14.25delivered
The lowest ask here at $14 delivered, a gray SCPH-1200 that matches its title in the photo. It isn't titled tested, so ask the seller to press Analog and confirm the red light and rumble before you pay.
