You can use the PS5 DualSense controller on a PC, and we’ll show you how in this easy to follow guide.
If you’ve ever wanted to use a PS5 DualSense controller on a PC to play your favorite games, it’s relatively easy to do so. Though the benefits of using mouse and keyboard are clear, particularly in FPS games, there are some genres that just play better with a controller, and Sony’s pad is a great option. The PS5 DualSense controller, one of the best controllers for PC, is super comfortable to hold, and it’s nice to get a bit of extra mileage out of your gamepads when you can. It’s also nice to play some PC games with a controller instead of a mouse and keyboard, especially if you’ve got your rig setup in your living room. The controller works both wired and wirelessly if your PC supports Bluetooth, and you’ll need a USB-C to USB-A lead if you plan on using the controller wired. If your PC has a USB-C input, you can also use a USB-C to USB-C lead. If you do use your PS5 DualSense controller on PC, it’s important to remember that the adaptive triggers won’t be utilized when playing the vast majority of PC games. However, Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition recently received an update that added full support for the DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, as well as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. This suggests that we could see more games take advantage of the DualSense controller’s unique features in the future, which is exciting for PC owners who prefer using Sony’s new pad. Steam has recently received a small update that allows players to customize the DualSense controller’s LED light, which adds some extra functionality.
