A non-Newtonian fluid is essentially a substance that creates resistance when under some form of pressure. Using such fluid in a controller may enhance the overall feeling and experience. Some everyday examples of non-Newtonian fluids are honey, ketchup, and custard, which Sony will obviously not use in a controller! They surely have a better option in their mind.
Although the idea sounds intriguing, it is certainly uncertain whether it will ever come to fruition. Successful companies patent ideas on a regular basis, but those ideas doesn’t necessarily come alive. However, Sony has always worked on making the user experience with their controllers better.
