I’ve spent way too much time trying to get the "PS5 Experience" on PC without being tethered by a 3 meter cable. Windows Bluetooth strips away the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers because it doesn't support the 4 channel audio bandwidth the DualSense requires.

I found a project that completely solves this by using a Raspberry Pi Pico 2W as a hardware bridge.

The project is https://github.com/awalol/DS5Dongle (All credit to awalol for this wizardry).

The Pico 2W connects to your controller via Bluetooth, but tells Windows it is a wired Dualsense. Only the initial handshake is required. After the initial handshake, Dualsense will just connect automatically when you turn it ON.

I have attached a video of Days Gone. I tried it in Days gone specifically because Dual Sense only works for me wired in this game, not even bluetooth. Now with this "dongle", its working wirelessly with adaptive triggers and haptic feedback (you will just have to trust me about haptic feedback since I can't show it in the video).

Update, The project just got updated, With the help of a redditor who saw this post the Dev updated the polling rate to 1000 hz now. Polling rate is as good as PS5 now.

What is the use case for DSX when it doesn’t currently support haptics and triggers wirelessly and give PS5 experience on PC. The DS4 software can do just that.

PS- the Bluetooth audio functionality is also shit as it just haptics for every audio. No one wants haptics for the background music.
