Oh this is awesome. I've always wanted to try the PS5 controller on my PC.
You can already do that. They are just making it easier to switch between platforms without need to pair it everytime you change a platform. Great feauture for me that uses the dualsense in both my PS5 and PC. I have been using 2 controllers to avoid having to pair it everytime i want to play on PC or PS5, but now ppl with only 1 controller can easy switch.

yall can try it, have enough problems past few days with lag in the cod, i dont even wanna try this update right now lol
 
Got the code, there was a feature update to install, but no Dualsense update. Can't seem to do the multi pair with the PS button and action button. Are regions like Canada still waiting for the update to come along?

I think I got a controller update (mine is always plugged in, if that makes any difference).
 
I have messed around with the controller options for a few minutes and so far, I feel like an idiot. So, nothing new.

I have Triangle assigned to PS5 - Figured that one out pretty easy.
I have Square assigned to Steam Deck - Figured that one out pretty easy.
I have Cross assigned to PS5 Pro - I selected circle but somehow it is assigned to cross. 🤷‍♂️

Trying to hit the PS button and the corresponding button is just a little tricky. It seemed like I was hitting the PS button too soon and it was turning on the wrong device. Easy fix, I press the face button before pressing the PS button. Works great that way.

I also realize that I need at least one more slot. :LOL: I now have to decide between iPad or PC for the 4th slot. I do use the iPad now and then (rarely) to stream PS games but having everything at my desk work off of one controller seems like a better option. (Actually, multiple controllers setup the same because of poor battery life)

This is not an earth-shattering feature but it is pretty nice to have if you use multiple PS5s or multiple devices at the same desk. I just need to figure out why my PS5 Pro decided to assign a completely different slot than the one I chose. The three second delay is a tiny bit annoying but I can live with it if this works without hiccups.

Edit

I figured out what was going on and set three controllers for PS5 Pro, PS5 and Steam Deck. It is pretty much plug-n-play for the PlayStation systems. It was a little confusing since the instructions say to unplug the USB.
  • I set up the PS5 Pro first, after the controller update, I plugged in the USB and it defaulted to slot 1.
  • I set up the PS5 second, basically the same thing, I powered on the PS5 and when it asked to press the PS button, I plugged in the USB and connected it to a controller. It automatically assigned the controller to slot 2 since slot 1 was taken by the PS5 Pro.
  • The Steam Deck was following the instructions in the OP.

Did you go into updates and select the beta update? I had an update to the system when I first booted up. I then went into settings and updated the beta from there. The controller I am testing with updated wirelessly.
 
Can anybody confirm whether you can use the headphone jack now for full audio wirelessly yet? This could make or break me starting a migration from console to PC.
 
Wait. People share codes for system update betas now?

How long has that been a thing?

Damn thats pretty cool. I knew there were software betas but somehow I missed entirely it was done by code.

Cool way to deploy it.
