Enhance your PS5 Dualsense controller experience on PC with DualsenseX
- Thread starter Skyebaron
- Start date
Well today I joined the Duelsense on PC club, and at first only bought a USB dongle. Surprise surprise haptics and official game's work only via USB. So I went to cell phone hardware dispenser in the subway at midnight to get a USB A to C cable with data and thankfully its middle length.
Just finished the first mission in Deathloop, at first I thought the haptics were poor and more annoying than anything, but all I had to do was lower it down to a more reasonable level than the default. The triggers didn't really impress, until I switched guns and experianced my first gun jam. Than I felt the immersion added. Wish more PC game supported this natively will be trying some games with haptics. This app is cool for the moment. I must say after deathloop and just enjoying the controller it was fun. My old controller was super cheap and was actually slow in responsiveness. Maybe now I'll do better in games.
Is there a profile that is good for horizon zero dawn for the triggers ?
Edit: there is this mod for red dead https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/1204?tab=description but I cant get it working with haptics

What is the difference between this and the free version? Is the free version being discontinued / losing updates?
Yeah just saw that on the Steam page. Been using this for some time now and it has been great, so I'm happy to support. The only thing though, I see one Steam review seems to imply you can only use it while Steam is on?
This person also recommends going back to DS4Windows tho, so prolly a case of sour grapes.
Maybe a silly question but do people share profiles for specific games to try and emulate how it is on PS5?
I'm just wondering if the purpose of this is mostly for Dualsense compatibility or if there is a community of people doing specific tweaks on a game by game basis I gues.

I'm using ryochans version of ds4windows with my dual sense. Is this the version that's going unsupported?. Ds4windows works outside steam games like Retroarch (the non steam version of it) but doesn't work if it's running with any steam games.
I always have to close it (I use retroarch a lot so it starts with windows)
Anyway I tried the app version of Dual Sense X and it works fine on Game Pass and some other emulators like PCSX2 but doesn't work with steam or Retroarch. I basically have to close dualshock4windows and Dual Sense X apps to get any Steam games to work with my Dual Sense and then it's picked up by Steam. It's all so confusing lol.
With this new steam version of Dual Sense X will it actually make any difference for me?
Yeah for now steam has to be running. This is what the developer has said:
Hello, to avoid piracy steam has to be running, there are no current plans for standalone as i don't have a way to authenticate users with some sort of license. There's also many steam features that are getting integrated that wont be of use in a standalone fashion. Anything can happen in the future though.
Will we be able to use this without Steam running in the background? :: DSX General Discussions
The main reason I prefer the GitHub releases is that they are standalone, and I am even willing to pay for standalone. Kinda stinks that Steam may have to be running in the background even when using DualSenseX with non-Steam apps.steamcommunity.com
--------------------
I mean the current on github 1.4.9 will be unsupported, as in there won't be any updates coming. As for your problem I can't help you there as I rarely used DS4W/DualsenseX with steam.
I expressed my disdain for the "running status" on Steam when using it. Other apps like Wallpaper Engine allow you to not show it as your status.
I asked the dev on discord and he said he hopes to test a fix for this, so fingers crossed!

Sorry for the bump.
Just bought a new Dualsense for my PC.
So, how do I use it *properly*?
I updated the firmware via the Sony updater. All good.
Does it work natively with Sony titles (ie. Death Stranding, God of War, Days Gone ...) and for everything else I just (buy) and use DSX on Steam?
Any tips and tricks are recommended.
I'm still keeping my Xbox One controller as the main daily driver, but I'd like to use Dualsense in games that fully support it.

I'm assuming it gets detected automatically by the game if it supports it. I was playing ffxiv on the pc client yesterday and the dualsense trigger effect engaged when I did a shooting quest.
I know this is an old post, but when you say you can feel the ball moving around in pinball, is it as good as in Astros Playroom?
Also which game are you using it in? FX3?
Don't have a PS5.
And yeah it fells best on FX3 because they "videogame" the sounds so its more pronunced than Pinball Arcade.
Beware that FX3 sound mix is weird in some tables and the haptics will go crazy.
