Now that Sony has confirmed the existence of the PlayStation 4 Neo, it's no surprise to discover they're working on an altered design for the console's controller.

A NeoGAF user by the name of Kyoufu discovered the patent which shows a wider front touch panel which extends past the original placement of the Options and Share buttons.

These buttons have seemingly been moved to locations beneath the D-Pad and face buttons while two additional buttons have been strategically placed on the grips of the controller, likely inspired by the Xbox One Elite Controller.

Obviously, just because there's a patent doesn't mean we'll be seeing the controller any time soon, but what do you think about the design?
