The '''DualShock 2 Analog Controller''' (SCPH-10010 or SCPH-97026) included with [[PlayStation 2]]'s launch is almost identical externally as the previous DualShock analog controller, with a few minor cosmetic changes. It has different screw positioning and one fewer screw. A blue DualShock 2 logo was added to the top of the controller, the connector is more square than the DualShock, and both the cable and connector are black rather than grey. The standard controller is black (other colors came later), rather than grey as with the original DualShock. The analog sticks are stiffer than on the original DualShock.

Internally, the DualShock 2 is lighter and all of the buttons (except for the Analog mode, start, select, L3 and R3 buttons) are readable as analog values (pressure-sensitive).<ref name=IGNDS2Review>{{cite web|last1=Zdyrko|first1=Dave|title=Dual Shock 2 Review|url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2001/09/27/dual-shock-2-review|website=IGN|access-date=March 21, 2015|date=September 27, 2001|archive-date=February 24, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210224035641/https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/09/27/dual-shock-2-review|url-status=live}}</ref> The DualShock 2 can sense 256 levels of pressure.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=DataStream |magazine=[[Edge (magazine)|Edge]] |date=24 November 1999 |issue=79 (December 1999) |page=132 |url=https://retrocdn.net/images/b/bb/Edge_UK_079.pdf#page=134 |access-date=28 October 2021 |archive-date=12 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230212084324/https://retrocdn.net/images/b/bb/Edge_UK_079.pdf#page=134 |url-status=live }}</ref>

The DualShock 2 has been made available in various colors: Black, satin silver, ceramic white, slate grey, clear, ocean blue, emerald green, crimson red, lemon yellow, and candy pink.

A number of coin-operated arcade cabinets have included controller ports for connecting DualShock or DualShock 2 controllers, including [[Namco|Namco's]] [[Tekken 5]]<ref>[https://primetimeamusements.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/tekken5.pdf Tekken5] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210208215016/https://primetimeamusements.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/tekken5.pdf |date=2021-02-08 }}</ref> and [[Konami|Konami's]] [[Pro Evolution Soccer 2012#World Soccer: Winning Eleven 2012 - Arcade Championship|Winning Eleven Arcade Championship 2012]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/09/the-gaijin-gamers-guide-to-tokyos-thriving-arcades/ |title=The gaikokujin gamer's guide to Tokyo's thriving arcades {{!}} Ars Technica |date=21 September 2013 |access-date=8 February 2021 |archive-date=8 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210208213853/https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/09/the-gaijin-gamers-guide-to-tokyos-thriving-arcades/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The original PlayStation is [[Forward compatibility|forward compatible]] with the DualShock 2. The PlayStation 3 is backward compatible with the DualShock and DualShock 2 by the use of third party peripherals, which connect the controller to the console via a USB port. However, the DualShock and DualShock 2 will not work properly with games that require [[Sixaxis]] functionality, such as ''[[Heavy Rain]]''.
