DailyTech is reporting that Sony‘s PlayStation 3 rumble controller, otherwise known as the DualShock 3, has already reached the FCC, meaning that it’s now one step closer to hitting game shops everywhere.

While most of the information is apparently under a confidentiality request, DailyTech didn’t go away completely empty-handed. There’s some new information on the DualShock 3’s specifications, such as the model number and power supply, so read on!

First off, we have the makeup of the unit itself. The DualShock 3, model number CECHZC2U,
measures 93.7 x 157 x 62.3 mm and weighs 193 grams. Second, the power comes from a DC 3.7V battery, with a power supply of DC 5V via the USB port on the PS3.

Moreover, we have some additional specs that techies might like. The DualShock 3 has a clock frequency of 26MHz and 4MHz, and its Bluetooth radio operates on frequencies between 2402 and 2480 MHz.

As for additional information, you’ll have to wait 31 more days, at most. An 45-day embargo was also mentioned, and the embargo means that any additional product specs and info can’t be mentioned by sources outside Sony during the said period. Luckily, it began on November 6, so there’s only 31 days left till the embargo gets lifted.
