The PS5 DualSense has haptic motors and adaptive triggers which make it feel like no other controller. Some Sony ports and other PC games, such as Deathloop, Metro Exodus and Assassin's Creed Valhalla tap into the DualSense's special features.
Here's a quick guide on how to use the PS5 DualSense controller on PC, via either wired USB or a wireless Bluetooth connection
How to Connect PS5 Controller to PC without Bluetooth (Wired Method):
To connect the controller to your PC via USB, you're going to need a USB Type-C to USB-A cable for your PC (or a USB Type-C to Type-C cable if you happen to have a convenient port available).
How to Use PS5 Controller on PC (Bluetooth Method):
To use the DualSense via Bluetooth, you'll need a USB Bluetooth adapter (or a motherboard with Bluetooth built-in). Open the Bluetooth & other devices menu in Windows by pressing the Windows key and typing 'Bluetooth'. Click 'Add Bluetooth or other device' then 'Bluetooth'. On the DualSense, hold down the PlayStation logo button and the Share button (the small one to the left of the touchpad) until the LEDs around the touchpad begin flashing. 'Wireless controller' should pop up in your Bluetooth devices list. Click on it to finish pairing.
How to turn off PS5 Controller on PC (Bluetooth mode)
Press and hold the PlayStation button on the controller for 10 seconds or until the light bar turns off.
Where to find your PS5 Controller settings on Steam:
If your favourite games are on Steam, here’s how to make them work with the PS5 controller:
1. Go to the 'Settings' menu in Steam.
2. Select the Controller menu.
3. Click ‘General Controller Settings.’
4. Turn on your PS5 controller to display preferences and calibration options.
DS4Windows PS5 Controller on PC guide:
Most current Windows games use Microsoft's XInput, an interface that processes Xbox 360 and Xbox One controller inputs. The DualShock 4 and DuelSense doesn't send XInput commands, so a wrapper is needed to translate its inputs. This is where DS4Windows comes in. DS4 Windows makes it possible for you to use your PlayStation and Nintendo controllers on a Windows 10/11 PC by emulating a virtual Xbox/DS4 controller (Also works with the PS5 controller!)
How to Download DS4Windows / DS5Windows
Head to ds4-windows.com/drivers/ and download Virtual Gamepad Emulation Bus (ViGEmBUS), Microsoft .Net 6.0 Runtime and Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (If needed). Then download the official DS4Windows App.
How to Use DS4Windows:
DS4Windows should immediately recognize any controllers properly connected to the PC. Though USB cables are the most reliable, connecting controller wirelessly via Bluetooth will offer similar response times (input delay) and stable connections as long as a good quality BT adapter is being used and no major radio interference is affecting the connection.
How DS4Windows works:
DS4Windows works by remapping the user’s “real” gamepad into a new, virtual / “fake” / emulated gamepad (check the GIF below) or by directly mapping the real gamepad to the user’s keyboard and mouse. This allows:
Using your gamepad in games that support (for example) only Xbox controllers It’s possible to emulate either a Xbox or DS4 gamepad, but keep in mind that most games do not support DS4 controllers in any way, requiring Xbox emulation
The virtual controller is fully configurable: its buttons and sticks can be remapped to other buttons/sticks or entirely disable, their behavior tweaked , special functions configured etc.
Mapping the controllers motion sensors to control the mouse, sticks etc.
And much more!
DS4Windows was created by InhexSTER and branched off to Elctrobrains and eventually recreated by Jays2Kings. Currently the official, safe and working DS4Windows is maintained and forked by Ryochan7.
