You basically buy a PICO 2 W from Amazon for like £7 then a micro usb data cable for £4, flash firmware which is plug it in and drag a file into the pico (5s), sync dualsense to it AND done.

I can not believe its this easy and Sony in all their infinite wisdom couldnt release a dongle for PC that does this.

I ordered it yesterday and set it up in 5 mins before a work call, works flawlessly.

PSA : No your DS on BT is not giving you actual haptic feedback , it is impossible with one band of Bluetooth, you are currently getting dumb rumble with adaptive triggers. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE HAPTICS ADAPTIVE TRIGGERS AND SPEAKER FUNCTIONALITY ON NATIVE BLUETOOTH.

This solution fixes that and is effectively an unofficial dualsense dongle for PC.

That is one cool hack. GG for trying it out!

I saw this the other day and I was going to order it but I'll wait until I know whether or not I'm keeping my Steam Controller.

Awesome, the only issue I'm seeing is that the haptic and adaptive trigger data isn't in the PC versions is it?

So I'm not sure how different this is than 3rd party software like DS4Windows which gives you dumb rumble and customisable triggers wirelessly, and it can emulate a DS5 as an Xbox (or even DS4, which is needed for some games like Flower to work gyro natively) controller too.

Can this do all that stuff? If I'm having to program the triggers for each game manually then I wont be doing that, I can do that with DS4Windows and others.

Edit: Github is not helpful in answering my questions but googling which PS5 games support haptive and triggers I see the point of this is to get that through wireless and not just USB, thats great for PC users.

For me almost all the PS5 games which came to PC and could potentially look/run better there and would benefit from this are kinda broken so I'd just play on the PS5.

Great for PC only users though, I'll stick with DS4Windows until it breaks because its an all in one solution and means I can just do a simple check when I run a new game to see if it supports DS4 or DS5 and if not revert back to XInput emulation.

Oh shit, this is great. My elites are finally giving out and can't get a steam controller in my region so this comes at a great moment.

Thanks for sharing!

Yeah I just tried Cyberpunk, BF6, Pragmata and all work incredibly well, its fully featured.

Why wouldn't Sony just do an official dongle with support? They did do it for PSVR 2.

Because they are sony

 

[Gitaroo]

I just got my PICO and set this up yesterday, was planing Cronos with it. Works great!

the PSVR2 was a flop and they had to find a way to shift all the surplus stock.

I get that, but this would be easy money for selling more PS controllers. It's not like it would hurt the console sales, unless Sony thinks hardware features should be exclusive too.

I thought the DualSense connected to the PS5 via Bluetooth. I Google-d it to see if it was 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and it said no, it was Bluetooth. So if the PS5 can use haptics via Bluetooth then why not PC?

How is the audio quality and range for controller??

 

[TrebleShot]

I thought the DualSense connected to the PS5 via Bluetooth. I Google-d it to see if it was 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and it said no, it was Bluetooth. So if the PS5 can use haptics via Bluetooth then why not PC?

Its using a proprietary quad band Bluetooth.

range excellent audio quality excellent can play all audio through it too.

 

[Doctor Hades]

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. It's a shame really because I always preferred using the DualSense on my PC via Bluetooth to avoid the need for another USB dongle and it connects instantly and works pretty seamlessly except for it not supporting haptics!
