To start, connect the DualSense to your PC via wire or Bluetooth as described above. Using Steam is by far the easiest way to get your DualSense working on PC, even if you want to use it in non-Steam games.

Steam added initial support for the DualSense back in November 2020, and has continually improved the DualSense functionality since then. Steam setup How do I setup the DualSense controller in Steam? If you need a Bluetooth adapter, you can get a Bluetooth 5.0 model for less than $20.

Within a few seconds, a generic entry named 'Wireless controller' should pop up in your Bluetooth devices list in Windows to connect to. 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 rapidly. To get connected, open the 'Bluetooth & other devices' menu in Windows by pressing the Windows key and typing 'Bluetooth.' Then click 'Add Bluetooth or other device' and the first item on the next menu that says 'Bluetooth.' Your PC will start searching for available devices. To use the DualSense via Bluetooth, you'll need a USB Bluetooth adapter (or a motherboard with Bluetooth built-in). If you need to buy a cable, here's a two-pack from Anker for $11. Bummer! Get your hands on a cable, plug it in, and you're on your way. While the PlayStation 5 console comes with one packed in, the DualSense sold by itself doesn't. 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). Input works basically as expected and I can work around it using other gamepad modes, so it’s not a major issue, but I’d like to see if I can find a solution.Įdit: I should clarify that I’m using Retroarch 1.9.0 from the Ubuntu PPA.Connecting: Wired or Bluetooth How do I use DualSense controller on PC? : Pad #0 (/dev/input/event9) supports 0 force feedback effects.

: Found joypad driver: “udev”.Īnd the same controller in wireless XInput mode: : Pad #0 (/dev/input/event9) supports 16 force feedback effects. : Pad #0 (/dev/input/event9) supports force feedback. I would provide logs but the only difference I see in the logs is during force feedback detection. I don’t have any other wireless Xinput devices to test with, so I can’t be sure if it’s something about the 8Bitdo controllers specifically or XInput generally. I’ve tried them in wireless DInput and wired Xinput modes, and the issue doesn’t occur in these modes. This only affects these controllers in wireless XInput mode. When I connect these controllers(and M30 and an SN30) over Bluetooth in XInput mode, Retroarch takes much longer to launch, and afterwards thumbnails and other assets don’t load in the menu. Hoping someone here can help me diagnose some strange issues I’m having with 8Bitdo controllers in Retroarch on Linux (Specifically Kubuntu 20.04).
