r/DS4Windows

I’m having an issue with my PS5 and I don’t think it’s the controller because I’ve tried two different DualSense controllers and both have the exact same problem. Both controllers work normally on the PS5 home screen over Bluetooth, but as soon as I open any game, the controller stops responding and the game doesn’t recognize it. Custom button assignments also show as enabled but don’t actually work. I tested the newer controller on a Windows laptop over Bluetooth and it works normally there, and its firmware is up to date. I also tried two different USB cables, including one that I know supports data transfer, and multiple USB ports. The controller charges but won’t properly connect in Safe Mode, and pressing the PS button in Safe Mode does nothing. The PS5 is fully updated, and the issue happens on a different PS5 user account too. I’ve also tried resetting the controller and changing the communication method between USB and Bluetooth, but the problem remains.

Guys I have the modded version of ds4 which I found only yesterday, I can literally get a fucking good aim assist in warzone . I found it from a YouTube video. It's from jk king , it has amazing aim assist. Like I know this official ds4 talking but I just wanted to share , if you want i can give you a link to a YouTube video , it's not in English , I also did not understand what video says but I just downloaded the ds4 mod and play it in warzone , it has fucking good aim assist and stuff

is there a way do change the shoot and aim buttons on a ps 5 controller? i want to be able to aim with L1 and shoot with R2. is there a way i can do that as i’ve tried it on DS4 and doesn’t work for some reason

Hi all. Thank you for all the support on DS4Windows 5! What's next for this program?

First off, huge shout out to you guys. Without the massive amount of testing and logs, we would never have a program that runs as well as this one does. While there are bugs, we are working on them, and still need as much help as we can get. So continue being amazing.

For the future. I think we need to revamp VIIPER with its own USB Bus like Nefarious had for DS4Windows. I am working on a Backend: You can check my progress at https://github.com/hbashton/VIIPER/tree/feature/native-udecx-bus - but I would like to say, I am not sure how long it will be before I release this fully. It costs $200-$500 per year to sign driver packages, so I am just test-signing right now.

I believe this will bring latency WAY down, much closer to HIDMaestro, ViGEmBus, and other implementations of the same Virtual Gamepad Windows 10/11 protocol. I am excited for this next step, and hope I can continue to count on you guys to test my drivers (seeing as they are unsigned)! I will go out of my way to test them myself, ensuring no crashes, and you can look forward to releases in the coming 1 or 2 months!

It has been a pleasure working on this project for you all. I'll continue to pump out new updates, and work on a stable branch while also providing updates on the native USB bus for VIIPER. I will not release any drivers until they are tested on a machine, with a real Dualsense, Dualshock 4, and Nintendo Switch Pro controller and Joycons. That will have to wait until the coming months. So don't get too excited yet!

Edit: my original goal was to make sure that you could use a Dualsense on Windows 11 without Audio or Haptics feature loss from the original PS5, all over Bluetooth. My new goal: do that, but at sub 1ms latency. This will require custom driver packages, so I am basically saying there may be fewer updates over the coming weeks...not to dishearten any one of you, but to encourage you to get excited. I am working hard on PS5 controller development, as well as ensuring I don't lose the Switch and PS4 controller lovers along the way.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to DS4Windows and I'm left-handed. I would like to completely swap/invert the thumbsticks so that the Left Stick controls camera/aiming and the Right Stick controls movement (including swapping the L3 and R3 click functions).

What is the best way to set this up in a profile? Thanks in advance!

Hi DualSense Edge owners, can you map the back paddles in DS4Windows? Other buttons work fine, but the paddles don't. Right now, I'm using the PlayStation Accessories app, but I want to remap them for each profile in DS4Windows.

I installed ds4windows from github schamldeo and vigembus, all from github to play some games with my switch pro controller. All good, works great.

I also use my switch pro controller on steam and ive never had both programs opened at the same time(steam and ds4).

When playing on steam with my switch controller AFTER installing ds4windows(ds4windows closed), i think i noticed a bit of input lag so i went to check controller settings on steam. The option for steam input for xbox controllers had turned on by itself. Why and how would steam turn that option on if i never opened steam with ds4windows turned on?

Maybe its my OCD thats making me think now theres input lag but after noticing that option on steam was on after installing ds4windows iam suspicious

(Sorry for my english btw)

When ever I try to use the Bluetooth it’s like it doesn’t read all my inputs. I’ll be looking left or right and when I stop looking it keeps going and then catches up. The other buttons do the same but it’s not as noticeable as the aiming stick. I have no idea how to solve this

gemini gave me a different link and someone in this reddit said a different one in github idk wich to download , the one gemini gave me was also on github but when i pressed on the download place of the file it redirected me in a site and ppl saying here there is no official site

Hi, I wasn't sure where to ask this, I hope this is the right sub.

So I want to use the Dualsense with my PC mainly because I like the PS button icons more than the Xbox ones, it is a nostalgia kinda thing.

I get that this program is so the PS controllers are usable with most (if not all) PC games that support controller at least.

But I'd like to know if the app (or another one) can also make the icons for PS appear.

Any info is appreciated!

I'm using the DS4Windows from the website with a PS5 controller in Max Payne 3 and whenever I try to use L2 to aim and R2 to shoot, it backs out of the aiming. Almost like it cancels out or something. And yes, I am using HidHide. Yes, the anti-deadzone for both triggers are 0.00. Any solutions?
