In addition to its unique features (haptic feedback and adaptive triggers), some of the most unique features of the DualSense won&#8217;t work on PC &#8211; you&#8217;ll have to use it on the console for which it was designed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The controller is still great regardless, so don&#8217;t worry. PS5&#8217;s Dualsense controller can be connected to your PC with either a USB-C to USB cable (which should have come with the controller) or by Bluetooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-663e135ea7366\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-663e135ea7366\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/tunnelgist.com\/how-to-use-ps5-controller-on-pc-guide-2024\/#How_to_use_PS5_Controller_on_PC_%E2%80%93_Using_the_PS5_DualSense_on_PC_with_a_wired_connection\" title=\"How to use PS5 Controller on PC \u2013 Using the PS5 DualSense on PC with a wired connection\">How to use PS5 Controller on PC \u2013 Using the PS5 DualSense on PC with a wired connection<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/tunnelgist.com\/how-to-use-ps5-controller-on-pc-guide-2024\/#How_to_use_PS5_Controller_on_PC_%E2%80%93_Connecting_the_PS5_DualSense_to_a_PC_via_Bluetooth\" title=\"How to use PS5 Controller on PC \u2013 Connecting the PS5 DualSense to a PC via Bluetooth\">How to use PS5 Controller on PC \u2013 Connecting the PS5 DualSense to a PC via Bluetooth<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/tunnelgist.com\/how-to-use-ps5-controller-on-pc-guide-2024\/#You_may_also_like_%F0%9F%91%87\" title=\"You may also like \ud83d\udc47\">You may also like \ud83d\udc47<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/tunnelgist.com\/how-to-use-ps5-controller-on-pc-guide-2024\/#Conclusion\" title=\"Conclusion:\">Conclusion:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_use_PS5_Controller_on_PC_%E2%80%93_Using_the_PS5_DualSense_on_PC_with_a_wired_connection\"><\/span>How to use PS5 Controller on PC \u2013 Using the PS5 DualSense on PC with a wired connection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/tunnelgist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/198554_1681997716-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Using the PS5 DualSense on PC with a wired connection\" class=\"wp-image-45633\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>For connecting to your PC, you&#8217;ll need a USB-C to standard USB cable, just like the one you use to charge your PS5. You just need to plug it into a port on your PC. Simply put, it&#8217;s that easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;d prefer to keep your DualSense for the PS5, but have a few old PS4 controllers lying around, here&#8217;s how you can use them on your PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_use_PS5_Controller_on_PC_%E2%80%93_Connecting_the_PS5_DualSense_to_a_PC_via_Bluetooth\"><\/span>How to use PS5 Controller on PC \u2013 <strong>Connecting the PS5 DualSense to a PC via Bluetooth<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>To learn how to use PS5 Controller on PC &#8220;Connecting the PS5 DualSense to a PC via Bluetooth&#8221;.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, you&#8217;ll need a PC with Bluetooth capabilities. This feature is built into some PCs, or you can purchase a Bluetooth adapter for around $6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, go to your Windows settings. You can find Bluetooth &amp; other devices under &#8220;Devices&#8221;. Click on &#8220;Add Bluetooth or other device&#8221; and then &#8220;Bluetooth.&#8221; Your PC will begin searching for Bluetooth devices, so now you need to hold down the PS Logo and your Create button (the one we called Share on PS4) until the lights on your DualSense begin to flash. Afterward, you should see &#8220;Wireless Controller&#8221; as an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is still work to be done, unfortunately. The DualSense won&#8217;t work with all games right now, but some electrical wizard will no doubt develop software to simplify the process. DualSense compatibility depends on the controller drivers used by the game, so finding out which games accept it can be a trial and error process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, there is a shortcut thanks to Steam. To use this feature, you must be signed up for the Steam Client Beta. Here&#8217;s how:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/tunnelgist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/198554_1681997732-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Connecting the PS5 DualSense to a PC via Bluetooth\" class=\"wp-image-45634\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Once Steam is running, click &#8220;Steam&#8221; in the upper left, and choose &#8220;Settings&#8221;. (Mac Preferences)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click &#8220;Change&#8230;&#8221; under &#8220;Beta Participation&#8221; on the &#8220;Account&#8221; tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the &#8220;Steam Beta Update&#8221; from the drop down list and click &#8220;OK&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The &#8220;Restart Steam&#8221; button will appear when you are prompted to restart Steam.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Then connect your pad (via your cable or Bluetooth), then launch Steam&#8217;s Big Picture Mode. At the moment, the DualSense is listed as a PS4 controller. Betas are fun projects in progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless, you won&#8217;t get haptic feedback, adaptive trigger, or trackpad, but this could change if developers start to support them. With it, you won&#8217;t have to buy an Xbox pad, and it&#8217;ll work as a standard last-gen controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_may_also_like_%F0%9F%91%87\"><\/span><strong>You may also like<\/strong> \ud83d\udc47<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tunnelgist.com\/2024\/12\/how-to-search-a-weapon-case-in-fortnite\/\">Where to find and Search a Weapon Case in Fortnite \u2013 Guides 2024<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tunnelgist.com\/2024\/12\/nba2k24-locker-codes-for-december-2024-pc\/\">Nba2k24 locker Codes For December 2024 \u2013 PC<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tunnelgist.com\/2022\/08\/best-website-to-download-ps4-games-for-free\/\">Best Website to download ps4 games for free<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading with us.
