The DualSense controller, known for its comfort and various additional features such as the touchpad, motion controls, and haptic feedback, is not only limited to the PS5. If you want to use these features while playing on your PC, there is both good news and bad news to consider.

The good news is that it is possible to use all the advanced features of the DualSense controller while playing PC games. However, the bad news is that the ability to use these features depends on several factors, with the most significant one being whether the game you’re playing already has DualSense feature mapping.

In general, if you’re playing a game on your PC that is also available on PS5 (such as “Marvel’s Spider-Man,” “Death Stranding,” “Final Fantasy VII Remake,” etc.) and you have any external input modifiers like Steam Input disabled, then the advanced features should work as intended. However, if you’re playing other games or software, these features may not work natively. In such cases, you can try using an XInput wrapper like DualSenseX to manually enable the features, but even then, it may not guarantee their functionality.
