Introducing the PlayStation Link PC Driver for Windows for Pulse Elite and Explore.

Latest firmware (came with the PS5 beta fw) made the Pulse Elite reconnect automatically in 2~4 seconds which while not ideal, is way better than having to unplug and reinsert the dongle. I hope new hardware have this actually fixed.
 
This is great. Now you can change the EQ on the headphones and earbuds without a PS5.
 
"Take full control of your audio experience" Christ in times gone you'd just plug the damn thing in and use it. I guess they need to collect some more user data to sell

Don't get me wrong it's nice that we can customize stuff like EQs to fit out personal taste, but I really miss when you just bought something and plugged it in and it just worked the only way it could.

I wonder if PS Link will be the standard for PS6 but Bluetooth will probably catch up by then.

I'm still confused as to how to they didn't put Link inside of the Slim and Pro console or at minimum the Pro.

PC is surely becoming a top priority for PlayStation.

What a shame.

I wonder why they released a wireless dongle for the controller. They did for ps4.

The DS4 had some custom Bluetooth sorta thing that made the official dongle way lower latency than using a 3rd party BT dongle, also they wanted to lock down the use of the vibration and other extra features only through that official dongle (vibration only worked wired, unless you used DS4Windows drivers or the like).

Whereas with DS the latency is ultra low even with a bog standard BT dongle, hilariously some of the features of it do not work on PC without DS4Windows or similar still.

Steam Input does not fix these issues or add the features either, I find that causes more problems than it fixes and just continue to keep it disabled and use the (rapidly becoming outdated) DS4Windows still.

I dont know if he ever got the headphone jack working over BT but outside that the breadth of customisation for the DS4 and DS is staggering through that program. Not just Deadzone adjustment but Negative-Deadzone adjustment to fix weird problems like the seemingly crazily sluggish right stick controls in Dead Space 1 on PC.
 
so, after more than a month , did anyone actually get the driver through windows update? Because i haven't (pulse explore)

The fact that they didn't release a driver package is ridiculous

Baffling to me how they can do this with the headsets but not the controller to be wireless with DS features on PC.
Before anyone says DS4W its not the same at all , its not even close. Its just emulating your DS into a XBOX controller the rumble is not haptics. All it does is add adaptive triggers that are on a preset not dynamic like in a game on PS5.

This protocol could absolutely unlock true dualsense implementation wirelessly on games that support it on pc.

Copied this from Reddit. You can install the update by doing this:

1. Go to the Microsoft Update Catalog
2. Search for "0f7c13ba-e653-4d4d-bb6b-b3581b2df8ee"
3. Download the package
4. Extract the package
5. Run the setup

It worked for me on Windows 10 with my Link Adaptor and my Pulse Explores.
