In this video you can see how to spot the difference between the old (V1) and the new (V2) version of the playstation 4 controller.

Has absolutely nothing to do with the buttons ffs. I change my colrolelrs buttons colours all the time.
Also nothing to do with the touch pad, you can buy one with light strip oml
