I feel like I am looking at the controllers butt hole
Drops on like the official DS4 charger. The plastic part surrounding the charging pins is spring loaded and pushes down when the controller's placed on, fully revealing the pins.
What looks most different is the charging contacts on the DualSense are larger and face directly outward, so there should be more tolerance for how straight you need to drop the DualSense in.
Can a brave journalist please tweet out "The DualSense battery life allowed me to play Cooling Springs for X hours straight"? Thanks in advance.
5 things we’ve discovered by playing with the PS5 Dualsense controller
After spending days playing with PS5 we told you about 5 new aspects of the Dualsense controller that make the difference from the Dualshock 4. This is how the PlayStation 5 controller aims to change the way we play. We have already spent several days with PS5, preparing our analysis of the...

Edit: I don't know if this site is reliable, only mention of battery life I could find without being just "we can't talk about it".
This is incredible, I may get a dualsense for my PC now. Will it work with all games, including the ones through gamepass?
The public aren't using their DualSense with a PS5, making use of all the features as the OS and different PS5 games would. You'd hope the press test this thoroughly, in context of what's being offered.
Additionally, DualSense paired with a PS5, both using Bluetooth 5.1 capable chipsets and any proprietary modifications and power saving modes is different to pairing with random Bluetooth module in a phone or computer.
I wonder if hitting enemies made of rocks will feel different than hitting more human like enemies in Demon Souls. 🤔
Or what about swinging heavy weapons?
So much potential.

Watch PS5 DualSense Impressive Motion Tracking in Action
We talked earlier this week about the impressive haptics and IMU in the PS5 DualSense controller, and now we can show you what it looks like in action. While the PS5 DualSense controller doesn’t currently allow for position (6DOF) tracking, its rotational (3DOF) tracking is very impressive...

This is actually insane that it has high level functionality even without developers prioritizing it.
Mute is great and probably the right call, but again the people in your lobby/party need to be good about that.
Chrome wouldn't work for me when I tested it the first time, but edge (the much older e icon build). It also worked with knockoff youtube players via the Windows Store (I tried one called fizztube) and Spotify. Let us know if any of those other things work for you.
It for whatever reason isn't working with any of the games that I have tried (Rocket League, Destiny 2, and Forza Horizon 4). So I'm wondering if games ignore Window's sound enhancement options.
I tried on Edge with the blue/green icon so maybe that's why it didn't work. I tried with fizztube and it worked!!! And it felt amazing! I was so impressed I couldn't stop smiling lol. It feels like there's a really wide range to the sensations it can give compared to rumble. Man now I can't wait to try it in actual games.
Thanks for the tip!
I thought they was using it in Destiny 2, but that was just their wallpaper. But I guess from the video that if you put the audio from the game into the VCAs channels you'd get the haptic feedback... I'm guessing, though, I don't have a DualSense right now.
Could you try it with GLOSC? https://alia5.github.io/GloSC/
It's essentially a program for you to use a steam bug picture controller profile for any program or game since it runs as a transparent overlay. I've used it with a steam controller and switch pro controller in the past
WOW that is impressive!Feast your eyes.

So that actually worked with Forza Horizon 4. But the controls kept switching between keyboard and the dualsense VERY rapidly, cutting throttle and button inputs in and out. Not sure what was causing it to do that. but it did, in turn, result in Forza playing audio via the rear audio channels as well, resulting in speaker fill actually working and some level of haptics based on engine sounds and passing car sounds. Not the best use case, so I'm going to keep exploring games until I find one that's audio makes for a good haptic experience. Obviously none of this will be like the PS5 experience were the haptics are tailor made to feel right.
EDIT:
Okay after doing a system restart and ensuring that speaker fill stayed on, it seems like I'm getting it to work on pretty much all steam games that I tried last night but it didn't work on then. Rocket League (music muted) I can only feel goal explosions. As for using GloSC for nonsteam games, seems like it just sort of flickers between working and not working control wise - it's unreliable. As for getting a good experience, while Windows audio doesn't seem to affect the haptic strength when listening to music or watching youtube, oddly in game volume seems to matter.

I used to play Driveclub using the DS4 motion control just for fun. I'll definitely play GT7 with motion, and also taking advantage of the haptic feedback & adaptive triggers.
That's very odd about it switching between keyboard and controller mapping, but worked to some degree. I agree, I don't think anything on PC will compare to 1st party PS5 games for the experience. Was it immersive at all or would I be better off continuing to use an xbox controller with the haptic triggers on PC?
I honestly think that's the most impressive motion recognition of a controller I've seenFeast your eyes.

Gyro aiming (& flick stick) better become more common on the PS5. This shit looks incredible.Feast your eyes.

The more we see about how well the tech in this works, the more surprised I am that it's only $70.
wow thats a hundred times clearer than i actually expected it to sound!
So it sounds like there is 2 modes for rumble/haptics
1) General "catchall" rumble/haptics for all games that work based off the sound the controller is producing. This seems to work on everything non-PS5
2) PS5 exclusive rumble/haptics see Astrobot. This is on a PS5 game by game basis I suspect.
Does that sound right?

My Elite Series 2 is still easier to just pick up and use on PC and still be able to enjoy rumble in a way that was intended by the developer. Like for Forza, the xbox's rumble is better as a lot of the audio doesn't come through as rumble on the DualSense. Destiny 2 on the other hand worked pretty well imo. Tractor cannon had a pretty distinct feel via the sound it plays through the haptics.
Can you comment a little more on Destiny2, I've been trying to find impressions on PC with Dualsense, but it seems a lot of people were having problems getting it working. Would you still go back to the Xbox controller or is the Dualsense a game changer with the way it feels with the gunplay
Lol do I have to buy this now so I got a proper DualSense game to play with until Nov 12? Anyone with the game and the controller able to confirm it uses the haptics?
What the heck? How does it know the direction? I get the tilt but it keeps yaw absolutely flawlessly even after vigorous shakingFeast your eyes.

I hope this eliminate gyro drift. I guess DS4 probably doesn't drift much but the Steam Controller's gyro is horrible with drift. So annoying.
What a shame to cover it in all that junk.
I dunno if it's exactly flawless. I think you can see it resetting a bit when it's held still.
I am admittedly a keyboard and mouse D2 player primarily. But I've spent some time with DS and the Elite Series 2 controller. I personally think they're both extremely comfortable controllers, though the DualSense is not as heavy and there for less fatiguing which is nice. Obviously the haptics designed for Destiny 2 are stronger on the Elite controller, especially with things like shots hitting your guardian. So things have more punch on the Elite control by virtue of true rumble support. The DualSense, which I am growing much more used to playing with though is winning me over by the way it fits my hands in particular alone. The haptics on Destiny 2 are interesting and every gun feels different (provided it produces feedback at all). My only wish is that it was stronger or got official support down the road via drivers from Sony or detection from games that are DS enhanced on the PS5. I guess it comes down to A.) Are you getting a PS5? Then sure use the dualsense that comes with it on PC, it's painless when customized to work via Steam's controller support. B.) Do you like tinkering with hardware? The experience is currently less than it will be on PS5 and hacky at best as it's just using game audio for haptics. If so, there's some fun to be had, especially with youtube videos like the one I posted a few pages back. But ultimately if you're looking for a controller that works with all of it's new features beyond controlling your game, then until official or fan drivers exist, this may not be for you.
I get the ingame prompts with the dualsense after selecting it in the options, but there is no haptic feedback on my end, nor adaptive triggers.

I wonder if it's the Bluetooth feature set . People figured it would be used fo VR, but maybe it's tracking angle of arrival/ departure on the dualsense at all times
MKBHD just put up a video about the controller echoing the sentiments of everyone else.
Edit: Beaten!
