Better than DS4 Windows?! DualSenseX Full Tutorial and Review PS5 to PC (Adaptive Triggers, Haptic) 

Thanks this was a quick guide! I noticed the changes immediately!

Such a nice review, bought a ps5 controller today and wanted to figure out what I could do with it. Now because of this guide I know. Thank you and props to you for making such a amazing video.

u the only one having a video in english on this. wanted to see what the whole deal with it was before buying a dualsense. now i know thanks to you my man, thank you, gonna play all my games with adaptive shooting triggers now

Man, you are owning this category on internet. Nobody does it better then you. No useless stories, just straight to the point and you gave answers to all our questions. Nice one dude, love it. Thanks to you, I have DS4 and Dual sense X ready to go and its all thanks to you. Once again, thank you man

bro everyone else who has made a video on this has just made it overly complex. SOO helpful cheers g

Thanks for the video I was looking for straight answers and you gave me everything i needed to know

The app seemed so cool Half way through the video I downloaded it Thank u for ur content❤❤

Thanks for the video, really clear instructions was helpful !

This was super helpful! THANK YOU! 🥰

Exactly what I need! I just got the Nova Pink one. Thank you so much for the video, very well explained. Gonna download it asap, cant wait to try it out!

Thank you for the recc! Worked like a charm for my ps5 controller compared to DS4Windows!

Many thanks, my bruh! This guidance was golden and now I am up and running. BIG UP! Subbed!

Thank you! Im with bluetooh and somegames dont take the adaptive trigger with that, i was looking for a program just like this, thanks!

Sweet. Can't wait to use this with my new controller.

Hey everybody, update here! There is an official steam version of dualsense x that came out about a month ago that you guys can use instead of doing all this lol. Thank you to all the commenters who told me about it! Here is the link, have a great day everybody and happy gaming! -store.steampowered.com/app/1812620/DSX/

Awesome review, love your presentation & format - not only that, but this is exactly the info I was looking for - so thank you! I used to use a DS4 and DS4Windows, then I recently got a DualSense and had been running it with DualSenseX. I really thought I must have been missing something as I couldn't find any button remapping. This answered all of my questions, so it looks like I'll go back to DS4Windows but add the detailed adaptive trigger functionality that DualSenseX offers. I didn't notice this in your DS4Windows review but I found that DS4Windows offers a pretty versatile implementation of the adaptive triggers, which incorporates kind of a "two stage" trigger (Axis Config > L2 & R2 > Two Stage Mode). Setting to "Normal" adds that extra "step" of resistance and you can choose a "Full Pull Button" so that when you "break" past the end of the first stage, it will do the button press. I haven't played with it much but I hope others might find this useful.

Thank you so much, that video helped me a lot 👍🏻

This helped a lot. Thank you. DS4 Windows wont even open up on my PC and i have no idea why.

I never even knew this existed. Thank you so much!! Now I can fly and drive vehicles in Dayz with all the jankyness of KB/M. You rule!!! Thanks again.

I've been using them both ever since I got my DUAL sense Controller

W commentary bro, really enjoyable

very well made video. u seem confident good job

Dualsense has already the haptic triggers with Bluetooth, only 3 sets but in future they will add more.

Great video helped me a lot, Thank you

awesome video dude keep going

Great vid dude!

Hey my man amazing video

The only thing the app is missing is the ability to use the touch pad as pause/select buttons. That's a cool feature especially since the controller buttons for those are so small.

Man, you really have a very nice attitude, I really like it. :=) Also, this video is very useful, because I'm thinking about with one use, and actually I'm noticing that if I'm not going to play something that takes advantage of Dual Sense's specific features (like its special kind of vibration), it is maybe not too worth it to pay for it.

You can remap the keys with the Sense2Keys tab

Wow thats awesome! Inwas thinking about buying xbox controller but after this, im going for ps5! Thank you for great review! :)

Bro this was awesome I got rid of my problem I’m no time

Great video bro

Playboi!!! Great vid as always. Will look into it once I get a PS5 controller. Thanks again

you can remap buttons in the profile section, thats why it is there

Thanks for the vid. Just one question, how is the connectivity with this software? I mean, I'm using a different software to play non steam games and emulators and sometimes it disconnects on its own. I guess is because of the emulation of an Xbox 360 controller

the trigger emulation is a next level feature imo.. wow

bro godsend this video. Respect

What blows my mind is that this is set-up runs better on the Xbox app than the Xbox controller. I had to buy a Bluetooth adapter just to use a Xbox controller including my turtle beach headphones. Even then it was buggy. I had no issue connecting the dual sense through Bluetooth and it worked perfectly.

Tnx for this great video💙💛👍

Dogg it just took me like 2 or 3 hrs to get the ds4 stuff together just to run across this 😆. It was solid though so I'll do this one next. Thanks for the info. Helped me a lot.

Well me dualsensex with ds4 window both using at sme time well it working properly but some time ds4 ar stuck . Sill .. good for use 👍

On the controller tab how do I view Overlay and Detailed Info? It won't let me click on either.

whenever i go into the test game when i step infront of the box the triggers dont switch, they just stay as what i have them set too in dsx. how do i fix that?

is there a controller mode i could use for racing games? i think the maps are only meant for fps games

As an update note they have moved to steam. Don't pay for it on their own website because steam has the updates and paywall of $5. This is only an issue if you purchase it somewhere else first.

Does the trigger change according to the physical sensations of the game? For example, changing a gun's trigger style will change it yourself, or riding a car can be done like when playing with the PS5 or not, or do we have to change it ourselves in the program every time?

Great video. I’m having an issue when playing Warzone 2/DMZ, any time I open my map (touch pad) it fires the gun. Tried remapping the button but doesn’t make a difference. Anyone else experiencing the same? I’m looking for a fix.

Hello, i really like the way u explain things so clearly. I have a question. Do u think PS5 controller will b good option for pc gaming? I play mostly competitive games like COD and PES , so if I buy the PS5 controller will it be fully compatible with them as well as other games like gta , rdr . Have you experienced any issues like input delay and Bluetooth disconnections with this Controller?

Hey buddy, nice video!, I have 2 questions to patiently wait for you to answer: 1- do I have to disable the playstation controller input o Steam options for the haptic feedback and triggers? 2- wich games do U know or have tested, that aren't PS5 EXCLUSIVE but multi-platform, suppprt haptic feedback and adaptive triggers playing on PC Thanx in advance!

Thank you

Can you please and my two questions? 1. Are the in-game prompts of PlayStation type or Xbox type? 2. We can manually change the controller mode in the software. But do we have to change it in-game also? I mean, if we have a bow and arrow and then a gun, do we have to change between resistance and vibration manually? Isn't there a type of patch file for games which will let the software do it as and when required in the game?

Been using xbox 360 controller for many years today i bought a ps5 controller I really like the feel and the haptic vibration triggers, freaking sony should support windows properly.

Just got a new ps5 controller, In the controller mode section I tested the vibration on both sides but on the left side of the controller the vibration is much more intense compared to the right side. Should I get it replaced or Is this how it's supposed to be ?

Im confused on what settings to go with. Anyone have reccomendations of their favorite settings for shooters?

Ds4 was so buggy randomly stopped detecting my PS5 pad. This app is amaizing and free.

Can you tell me how do pair and emulate 2 controllers at the same time?

Great! Does the DualsenseX also support macros and trigger shortcuts to open apps and scripts, like the DS4Windows does? Mouse emulation and gyro in wireless aswell?

what should I have the triggers set to?

And this video is a reason why i ordered my ps5 controller.

it's fantastic

Okay so I downloaded the Zip from Github, but the app or controller. I'm not sure which keeps the mouse dragging into one direction constantly on its own. I do not have a problem with any other app. Just DualSenseX. It also will not update. It tries, but stays at 1.4.9 even though there is a 1.5.0 update.

Thanks for your video, but my controller acts like a mouse, when I move my right stick the mouse moves too. How to disable that?

Can you use two controllers at the same time? Can't try it yet myself because my original Dualsense is to be fixed by Sony. With one controller it works just fine.

Nice video , but I just dunno how to enable the ps5 controller vibration in game of EA apps with DSX, is tht possible to do tht ??

Is this the program we need to use to use a Ps5 controller with clicky triggers and bumpers? Or do we use ds4 still?

I just want the best input delay like I’m playing on ps4 controller but with the better feeling ps5. Do you have to connect the controller to the pc? And can you switch from ps5 and straight to pc like if you didn’t use this.

hey bro does the app has to be running open on the background all the time or after you save the profile it can be close? Thanks

Will this change the in-game xbox buttons prompts to the dualsense button prompts in game?

Help. When I'm using this, my touchpad becomes a mouse and when I click it, R1 activates (my character attacks). How do I disable those?

A little bit confused but is there a way to turn on haptic feedback and adaptive triggers for any game that doesn't support it? If so what are the correct settings? As the trigger stuff feels off when playing in a game that doesn't have official haptic feedback support and all that.

Can u like make a adaptive trigger that doesnt need more force, i mean u need less force and dont have to press the r2 button this far. Like can u make sort of instant triggers?

Steam version, with future updates compared to this is way cleaner, its worth the money tbf! Dope video also!!

Hey dude, Thanks for your amazing presentation. Can I use Ps5 Controller with Bluetooth with this program?

When i go into the demo game it doesn't allow me to use the controller just mouse and keyboard. How do i fix this? The tigger filters do not work either when i try to manually change them. All other features work.

So this app emulate the xinput from 360 right? So if one game use vibration normal vobration it works in this ps5 controller ? That is my question because i read a lot of isues with the rumble vibration compatibility and the 360 software is the more compatible with all games

Almost the start of 2024 and no update for DualSenseX, but this video of yours really sells both that and DS4 as a package even today. Kudos man, thank you! Edit: Just realized DSX is on Steam and has a DLC!! I'm curious to know if you've done an updated video including it?

hello how to deactivate the adpative triggers on pc? help pls

When I use it my D-pads became ve the y sensitive that I can't choose any in-game selections. Any solution for this?

Can i only use this with cable or also wireless?

I am trying to use this in Overwatch 2 and it works.... fine.... the only issue is when I hit the "X" button it opens up the chat ingame which is normally the Enter key. I wonder if there is a way to fix this.

Steam version is already better than the free download because the options trackpad option actually works and turns off the mouse immulation. And way more options and easy interface was worth the 3 bucks also dualsense at says dsx is open now unlike with free version

What about deadzone control and settings? does it have it?

W video my guy

Hi, thank you for the video but in my case, the controller doesn't work with the demo, it just opens the DualSenseX program and nothing more, even if I disconnect the controller. Do yo know how to solve this?

Hello how can I make the trigger stop when I’m just driving a car on gta?

Is there no way to have the app auto-enable the 2sense2key profiles?

The app is great but I'm having a problem with double input

no you have to go on your ps5 to map your buttons then go back on PC with the dsx app but you have to keep the dsx app running‼️‼️‼️ I promise you it worked for me but you have to keep the dsx app running in the background

Does dad have to be running in the background when I’m using my ps5 controller?

Adaptive triggets will work with Bluetooths or just works with USB-C.

Can you help me?? I done that and i configured the colors, but i cant lile, when you are in the app, and go to "controller" anything happens, it was like, my controller is not working, maybe i done something wrong.

Is there a way to remove haptic feedback that comes through the buttons? Not the feedback for the triggers. Using PS5 to play Vanguard

Gave it a try. It doesn't even scale the sticks properly so it is an instant fail. My DualSense sticks work perfectly fine in DS4Windows. Also input delay is very bad. DualSenseX might be useful for testing different modes for the adaptive triggers but that's about it.

I get I can choose adaptive trigger modes but how do I get whatever the game developers intended? for example different trigger feel/ different rumbles for each gun?

Hey I downloaded it but when I plug my ps5 controller to my pc, DSX doesn’t detect it, it acts as if there was no controller plugged in at all. Can somebody please help meeee?

So the adaptive triggers only work when wired?

if we install this no need to add non-steam games to steam right? I know steam has native PS5 controller support

what happens if u set the response timer to 0

Does the changed settings stay when you go back to ps5?
