DualSense working wirelessly on Shield TV with gyro, mic & audio for PC game streaming
Hey folks! Just wanted to share that I got my DualSense working wirelessly with my Shield TV while streaming games from my PC, with controller audio/mic/gyro working as well.
I’m using Punktfunk for game streaming to my Shield TV 2017. The Shield TV is connected to a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W running DS5Dongle.
The DS5Dongle firmware turns the Raspberry Pi Pico into a DualSense USB dongle, allowing the Shield to recognize the controller and pass through features like the gyro and microphone/audio. Punktfunk passes these features onto my PC while streaming.
With this setup, I have nearly the same experience I had with the Shield TV Controller that came with my 2017 Shield. Except the Shield controller unfortunately died and I think Nvidia stopped making these so I was not able to buy a replacement.
If you've been looking for a way to use a DualSense wirelessly with your Shield TV for game streaming and have controller audio/mic/gyro enabled, this might be worth checking out! I believe this also supports the adaptive trigger and haptics but none of the PC games I play support this.
Let me know how it works for you, and feel free to ask any questions about my setup.
