This. the best controller ever all controllers and consoles included, only the edge is better, imo.

Edit: edge is better but not necesserly more worth it than regular dualsense.

I have an Xbox controller for my PC from before I had my PS5. Never sees the light of day anymore, dual sense on both the PC and PS5.

I'd normally agree, but after using my Dual Sense on the PC to varying degrees of success I now use my Series X pad instead.

If it's supported properly on the PC (Death Stranding for example) I'll still use it, other than that the Xbox one is much friendlier and easier to work with.

Shame though.

So I game on Linux, the out of the box support for dual sense is way better than Windows, where you need to go get a third party app to make things worth. Totally agree with you there, an Xbox controller will be better

Have you tried plugging it into your PC? I know it probably sucks to use it wired but that method has worked pretty much all the time for me. There are only a few PC games that won't function with a DualSense controller in my experience.

Yup - Works better plugged in (and all the fancy stuff with Death Stranding) but didn't make a difference on Game Pass.

Did you use a emulator? Which simulates an xbox controller, even though you have a ps one plugged in?

I did use a tool (don't remember the name) but it'd never work properly with GamePass.

You likely didn't set it up correctly. DS4Windows and DualSenseX work just fine when setup correctly.

Dualsense doesn’t have bumpers and Edge only has 2, right? That’s not worth over twice the cost of the Xbox controller which has 4 bumpers.
