As much as I'd like to see a complete redesign of the basic shell that's been largely unchanged since the original PS1 Dual Shock controller, if I had to guess, I'd say about half of all Playstation users are really attached to the design, so any radical changes would only alienate half the potential user base, making minor improvements the safer design approach.
If the same basic 15 year old design is used, then the following wouldn't be bad ideas:
1. Improve L1/R1 trigger buttons: no "mushy" feel, stronger springs, more of a positive feedback, trigger-like feel with progressive resistance that increases the further pressed. Change the shape of the trigger buttons from convex to concave.
2. Change the analog stick nubs from convex to concave.
3. Smooth out some of the harder edges for better ergonomics (analog stick housings, shoulder button housings)
Of lesser note: may as well improve the force feedback to utilize improvements in technology.
