How to Use a PS5 DualSense Controller on PC

[@fireaza]

It should be mentioned that the duelsense features ONLY work in wired mode and you need to turn off SteamInput emulation in the controller settings too.

[@the_bearded_jay]

No mention of DS4Windows or DualSenseX is a miss for a video of using DualSense on PC in my opinion. Also, without cable, DualSense Supported game still won't recognize DualSense as dual sense, only as DualShock4 if you connect via steam and emulate it via their controller emulator, so no haptic or internal speaker with Bluetooth. One more thing, most emulator support DualSense natively via Bluetooth, so Something like Yuzu, RPCS3, CEMU and PCSX2 would be able to recognize the controller as Dual Sense and utilize it's haptic feedback and motion sensor controller wirelessly. While other emulator, like dolphin, needs DS4Windows to emulate it as wiimote

How can older games that weren't built with the DualSense controller in mind take advantage of its haptics capabilities?

[@IamOmgPhil]

TLDR: Pair with Bluetooth (if applicable) or plug it in (with the cable that came with the console) and let steam handle the rest (its plug and play) idk how this is a video

because there are labels for people not to drink coolant and to open the box of a burger before eating said burger

Well the video doesn't even cover how to get adaptive triggers to work properly so its a low bar.

[@tenzaemtade6146]

[@barrymk400]

Just plug the controller into the PC. And if it changes the audio, change it back. There saved you 4 minutes.

[@armbsecure]

You should have mentionned DSX and some mods that adds haptic feedback and the other new features from the DualSense in some PC games.

[@-rXr-]

Yup right 👍

[@dhiwantara8357]

what is DSX bro?

[@kingsleyabiamiri]

@@dhiwantara8357 It's an app that allows you to tweak the controller more for example changing the iightbar colors, adjusting the feel of the, triggers, and emulating an Xbox or PS4 controller for games that don't support it

[@ElHyperion]

It should also be mentioned that by disabling Steam Input which turns every non-Steam controller to a X360 (which is confusing in games), you completely disable its functionality. For example It takes two doesn't see any input from the controller at all if you disable Steam input and rely on Bluetooth, and using DS4Windows is the only way (PSX doesn't support two controllers). But that's not ideal since it can emulate DS4 only, not DS5 natively

[@Praxss]

Sony or Microsoft should support it officially!!

[@ioasisyumich]

Sony has a DualSense update application for Windows so you can update your DualSense firmware on PC. They do support it, otherwise you would need 3rd party application to even use it period.

[@Trowelhands]

Games like Monster Hunter Rise will even offer button icons for both DualShock 4 and DualSense 5, so devs have been aware of DualSense 5 compatibility for a while now.
