Possibly more so than the machine itself, the PS5 is noteworthy because of its controller, the DualSense. For decades, Sony stuck to the patented DualShock controller design, making minimal changes for four generations. Then, for the PS5, Sony went in an entirely new direction, and for the better.
Despite the limited selection of games that support its haptic feedback and adaptive trigger functions, the controller has earned fans among gamers who use the DualSense on the PC. Unfortunately, using DualSense controllers on the PC isn't straightforward.
Specifically, DualSense owners must have a PS5 console to update their firmware and there was no way around it - until now. According to a captured version of the EULA for a DualSense firmware updater application, Sony is working on making it easier to use PS5 owners on the PC.
For nearly two years, PC owners have wondered if Sony will release a wireless PC adapter for the DualSense. This might seem like an afterthought for most console gamers, but not all PCs support Bluetooth connections. In these cases, DualSense owners have no choice but to make do with a wired connection for their controllers.
